Although of English and Canadian origins, Plastikman's Richie Hawtin is closely connected with the Detroit techno scene associated with figures such as Kenny Larkin, Stacey Pullen, Eddie Fowlkes, and Derrick May. His Plus 8 label -- co-owned and operated with John Acquaviva -- is one of the near influential experimental dance music imprints, and Hawtin's have tracks recorded as Plastikman and F.U.S.E. are highly regarded as close, well-informed, forward-stepping updates of the Detroit level-headed. A DJ of celebrity and growing in repute as a remixer, Hawtin has seen his visibility as one of data-based dance music's more than important and innovative figures prove ever since the release of his debut Plastikman album, Sail One.


Hawtin was born in the English borough of Windsor in the early '70s, and when he was nine-spot stirred with his parents to Canada. An early interest in electronic-based pop and dance music sour serious when Hawtin discovered the tracks organism pumped out of his neighbour crosswise the river, Detroit. Beginning as a DJ in 1987, Hawtin quickly became involved in composition through and through his direct involvement in Detroit's tightly knit community of musicians and producers. Combining early influences from European synth pop groups like Kraftwerk and New Order with the stripped-down techno futurism of Detroit innovators such as Juan Atkins and Derrick May, Hawtin's tracks ar as steeped in Motor City tradition as they deviate from it in damage of grain and rhythmic complexity.


Although 12" releases issued through Plus 8 and the European NovaMute mark have got all been pretty dancefloor-oriented, Hawtin's attention to techno-based listening music has been just as focussed through his full-length albums. His challenging series of mix albums -- including 1995's MixMag Live!, 1999's Decks, EFX & 909, 2001's DE9: Closer to the Edit, and 2005's DE9: Transitions -- has emboldened his repute as a conceptualist DJ.

Citing influences such as the Jam, the Clash, and the Smiths, the Arctic Monkeys create a vibrant punk-inspired sound well suited for Britpop and alternative rock music fans alike. Alex Turner (vocals/guitar), Jamie Cook (guitar), Andy Nicholson (basso), and Matt Helders (drums) formed the Arctic Monkeys in Sheffield, England, in 2003. A year prior, Turner and Cook received guitars for Christmas. From there, these teenagers made practicing an fixation, memorizing hits by the White Stripes and the Vines. A contend with Domino, the label home to Franz Ferdinand and Clinic, followed in spring 2004. Rambunctious first single "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" debuted at number unmatchable on the U.K. singles graph in October 2005. Their debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, was issued in January 2006; inside a day of its release, the album sold 118,501 copies in the U.K. -- and over 350,000 its first gear week -- setting a record for more records sold than the repose of the Top 20 album graph combined. In America, the album scraped the bottom of the Top 40. The Arctic Monkeys purposeless no time cathartic new material, and that bound the EP World Health Organization the F**k Are Arctic Monkeys appeared. On their first North American tour, bassist Andy Nicholson sat extinct due to fatigue. Nick O'Malley temporarily stepped in to play the tour, and when the band proclaimed that Nicholson was out of the group in June 2006, O'Malley was at long last named a permanent member. The Arctic Monkeys' estimable destiny continued when that fall they were named the recipients of the 2006 Mercury Prize, the prize money from which they donated to an undisclosed charity. That same class, the guys likewise nabbed Best British Breakthrough Act at the Brit Awards and Best New Band and Best British Band at the NME Awards. (NME as well made the bold assertion that the band's debut was one of the Top Five British albums ever released.) Weathering through the ballyhoo, the Arctic Monkeys unbroken working and their sophomore album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, surfaced in April 2007.

Coldplay debuts new songs at free show

Performs at Brixton Academy





LONDON -- There were some miscues and cobwebs, but Coldplay confidently returned to the live stage Monday night at the U.K.'s Brixton Academy, unveiling a host of songs from its chart-topping new album, "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends."
"Viva La Vida" sold more than 300,000 copies in only three days in the U.K., and the band certainly didn't wilt under the expectation, playing to a capacity crowd of 4,900 at one of three free shows scheduled for this month.
After opening with the new album's instrumental "Life in Technicolor," the group launched into a string of instantly recognizable numbers, including "Violet Hill," "Clocks" and "In My Place." The four band members stayed in theme with the "Viva La Vida" art scheme, wearing their souped-up French Revolution-style jackets, which have appeared in recent photo shoots.
In between tracks, frontman Chris Martin defied his stereotype as a grouch when he cracked a joke apparently told to him by a gloating German interviewer. "What do British people do when they have finished winning the World Cup and the European championships (of soccer)," he said, before finishing, "they turn off the Playstation."
Throughout the night, Martin switched between keyboards and guitar, or throwing himself about in front of the mic stand. He even appeared at the venue's balcony, where he delivered a stripped-down version of "Yellow."
As the band prepped for "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face," Martin joked, "Even when we're not trying, we still manage to plagiarize Radiohead." Moments later, he retracted his comment, noting that it might not go down so well with the BBC Radio 1 audience who were tuning in to the live broadcast.
The set list included a crowd-pleasing encore of "Fix You," and at one point the band took a brief stab at Girls Aloud's hit single "Call the Shots."
Coldplay moves on to Barcelona for a free concert tonight at the Espacio Movistar venue, and will follow up with another at New York's Madison Square Garden on June 23. "Viva La Vida" is released today in the United States.
Here is Coldplay's set list:
"Life in Technicolor""Violet Hill""Clocks""In My Place""Viva La Vida""Chinese Sleep Chant""God Put a Smile Upon Your Face""42""Square One""Trouble""Lost!""Strawberry Swing""Yellow""Death Will Never Conquer""Fix You""Lovers in Japan"

The Leeds, England-based lo-fi bliss-popsters Hood comprised Andrew Johnson, Chris Adams, Richard Adams, John Evans, Craig Tattersall and Nicola Hodgkinson. The group debuted in 1992 with the seven-inch "Sirens"; after 1993's "Opening into Enclosure," a year later they issued Cabled Linear Traction, which self-contained their two sooner singles. Absent passim 1995, the year following Hood returned with a shelling of new corporeal -- after leash singles ("Lee Faust Million Piece Orchestra," "A Harbour of Thoughts" and "I've Forgotten How to Live," all of them issued on different labels), the radical also released the full-length Silent '88. Secrets Now Known to Others, a ten-track EP of material recorded for but not included on Silent '88, appeared in 1997, as did the album Structured Disasters. Though it wasn't released in America, The Cycle of Days and Seasons followed on Domino in 1999. They returned in 2001 with the Home Is Where It Hurts EP, which was the group's first base American spillage in four age and showcased their more and more electronic direction. They continued in that direction on Cold House, a bleak and experimental effort released the same year. Late in 2004, the Lost You EP arrived in anticipation of 2005's Outside Closer.
