SECURE SHOPPING
In recent press photos, Eddie Ruscha has looked every bit the West Coast acid casualty that his vivid, kaleidoscopic productions have suggested. Surrounded by his colourful, out-there paintings and dressed head to toe in “tropical psychedelic” clothes – a distinctive concoction of rainbow-coloured scarves, baggy jewellery, strange masks and eye-popping patterned sweaters – he projects himself as the apotheosis of the 21st century digital hippy. Given the hazy look in his eyes, you’d never accuse him of putting it on; clearly, he’s more out-there and artistically inspired than your average electronic producer.

Lauer – Mascat Ring Down
by Juno Plus on 09.10.2012 at 09:55am
German producer Phillip Lauer seems to be getting better with age. Having sporadically impressed in previous years with his solo efforts – see the fluid, soft-focus deepness of 2011’s “H R Boss” on Live At Robert Johnson – the Arto Mwambe/Tuff City Kids member has seriously upped his game in 2012. There was the small matter of an impressive debut solo full length, Phillips, for Running Back; joining the dots between fluid, melody-driven deep house, shuffling synth-disco and wide-eyed neo-Balearica, it showed him as a producer on the rise.

Watch: Secret Circuit – Nebula Sphynx
by Juno Plus on 22.02.2012 at 13:28pmIn his review of Secret Circuit’s Nebula Sphynx, Juno Plus scribe Matt Anniss memorably described the title track as “the music of robotic, circuit board-loving monkeys”; perhaps “deranged carwash acid” is a more apt description if this video is anything to go by.
Secret Circuit – Nebula Sphynx review
by Juno Plus on 17.02.2012 at 16:32pmEven in a place as densely populated with tastemakers as New York City, Tim Sweeney stands out. Through his immaculate weekly Beats In Space radio show, Sweeney has proved time and time again that he not only has the nose for a good tune, but he’s not afraid to search the stranger fringes of electronic music for inspiration. Given this impeccable track record, it was probably inevitable that he would turn his hand to running a label at some point. It was always likely, too, that the label would release bold and forthright music that doesn’t fit into any neat pigeonholes.

Tim Sweeney: The beat goes on
by Juno Plus on 03.10.2011 at 17:31pm
Most journalists will tell you they treasure face-to-face interviews above all else: being in the same room as someone invariably brings out more colourful quotes than a phone conversation or the dreaded email communique. Yet being on the other end of the phone line to Tim Sweeney feels entirely appropriate – after all, his languid, friendly drawl is his most instantly recognisable feature. For the past 12 years he has hosted the weekly Beats In Space radio show from the student-run WNYU studio in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, building his slot into one of the most respected in the world of electronic music.

Ones to Watch (No 4) – Sidwho?
by Juno Plus on 20.11.2009 at 15:32pm
Sidwho? – aka Surahn Singh Sidhu – hails from Adelaide, South Australia. He’s already been championed by disco tastemaker Tim Sweeney, and has seen his work remixed by DFA’s Jamie Paton (of Cage & Aviary) and the Juan Maclean. He is also part of the Swiss, a 3-piece live disco act signed to Modular, and recently became part of the Empire of the Sun’s live show. With so much on the go, people won’t be asking “Sidwho?” for much longer.
