Lashed Euphoria Mixed by Lisa Lashes

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

Lashed EuphoriaOne of dance music’s most flamboyant characters, her music speaks for itself: anthemic, underground, and with so much energy it’s a wonder the International Atomic Agency hasn’t slapped a sanction on her.

Lisa Lashes is the biggest female DJ in the world – no contest. From her upbringing as a Jehovah’s Witness, to rocking exotic dancefloors and events for the UK Hell’s Angels, to being a patron of the Pink Ribbon Trust breast cancer charity, Lisa’s seen more of life than most.

Lisa’s Lashed events have become one of international clubland’s biggest success stories of recent years, holding mind-blowing parties in the UK, South Africa, Russia, Australia, Ibiza, and beyond. These multi-genre affairs have welcomed leading DJs from breaks, techno, hard dance, and house, including Freq Nasty, Tom Neville, Dave Angel, the Trophy Twins, Freestylers, and many more. The Lashed ethos has transformed places such as London’s SE One, the capital’s biggest licensed venue, into surreal clubbing palaces, regularly pulling crowds in their thousands.

Dark Globe - Nostalgia For The Future

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Nostalgia For The FutureWith the recent release of critically acclaimed artist albums from lostep, Sissy and The Remote and a fabulous ten year anniversary compilation, Global Underground is on a role. Capitalizing on this momentum, the next release for Global Underground’s fledgling GU Music artist imprint is Dark Globe’s much anticipated artist album Nostalgia For The Future. This eclectic release features collaborations with Amanda Ghost, Boy George, Television’s Tom Verlaine, Julie Thompson, Imogen Andrews, and more.

Much like the previous releases on the GU Music, Dark Globe carves out a style that doesn’t sound like what anyone else is currently doing musically. While the base is centered on a blend of downtempo, breaks and pop, the thing that really sets Dark Globe apart from other electronic based acts is their songwriting. These songs aren’t to be considered beats and rhythms made for the dance floor – that doesn’t do this album any justice. Rather, the songs are structured to conjure up deep human emotion. “Atoms (Featuring Boy George)” is a true electronic ballad complete with marvelous strings, piano and weepy vocals. Lead single “Break My World (Featuring Amanda Ghost)” is an epic meeting of powerful vocals and smart programming, while “For Raymond (featuring Julie Thompson)” enters lazy / hazy trip-hop territory. Instrumental tracks “Fever Electric” and “Stray Birds” are thought provoking and provide a score for the film that runs inside your head. Simply put, Nostalgia For The Future is something you need to hear.
