Back in June, Brooklyn-based piano composer Andrew Shapiro released his third piano album, appropriately entitled Piano 3. (Perhaps you are one of the six million people who streamed his song “Mint Green” – from his 2008 debut, Numbers, Colors and People – on Pandora?) That he was releasing another piano album was hardly a surprise…

interview by Michael McCarthy If you’re looking for something different, some truly unique, mind-blowing electro-pop, then you’ve come to the right place.

Róisín Murphy has been one of the most peculiar figures in modern pop music for several years now. She started off as the frontwoman of Moloko, but soldiered on as a solo artist after the band called it a day. During the next few years, she released two excellent solo albums, Ruby Blue and Overpowered,…

And now for something completely different… A slamming, electro-pop gem from The Ready Set. No, we didn’t exactly see it coming either. “Fangz,” as it’s called, is a better EDM track than anything on David Guetta’s latest album. OK, so it’s not quite EDM, but parts of it pack the sort of propulsive beats and…
