At one point or another during their time at McGill, most students will experience the music of Love Thy Brother, the Montreal DJ duo known for their crazy parties with SAINTWOODS and eccentric stage antics. In just a few years, Liam and Connor Clarke have made the jump from headlining local bars to opening for the likes of Calvin Harris, Designer Drugs, The Bloody Beetroots, Wolfgang Gartner and many more. Their production and live sets have continued to improve as…

Over the past few months, you’ve come to expect only the most bumping, beat-filled, up-tempo tracks from The New Montreal. But sometimes, just sometimes, we like to slow down the pace and mellow out to something a bit more relaxed. If your ears are bleeding from Piknic Electronik this weekend, these tunes are exactly what you need to soothe your aching head. It is a Sunday, so there aren’t really any excuses…get lazy, and enjoy. Thirteen – Elliott Smith Airplanes…

Major Lazer & La Roux Present: LazerProof – Major Lazer & La Roux For everyone who thought that Diplo and Switch were just lazing and blazing around Jamaica, you were probably right. But, it seems they were up to a little something else too. Major Lazer has teamed up with English electropop duo La Roux to present their newest mixtape, Major Lazer & La Roux Present: LazerProof. La Roux front-woman Elly Jackson’s full and angelic voice has prompted nearly every…

Happy Friday to all, hoping this post finds you well. It’s hard not to be in a good mood around here lately, life in this city takes on a more relaxed tone in the summertime and the beautiful weather makes all of life’s problems seem just a little less important. As we mentioned a few days ago, we’ll be heading back down to the beautiful Parc Jean-Drapeau on Sunday to catch Flosstradamus, Mary Hell and friends at the second installment…

It’s been a while since we posted anything from our SoundCloud, so I thought it was about time. We get all kinds of music submissions, and it’s always fun to see what new artists are coming up with. This week we’ve got a nice big batch of remixes, courtesy of recent favorites LightsoverLA and The Dirty Tees, among others. We’re going to try and make this more of a regular thing, so keep the submissions coming! Cheers. What You Know…

What’s good everyone? We hope you all enjoyed the 3 day weekend, we most certainly did. Summer keeps rolling on and things are starting to heat up around MTL because Piknic Electronik, one of our favorite summertime events, began on Sunday and will continue for the next few weeks. Sunday’s performers included Elio Krass, Kevin Yost and Jeff Fontaine , and next week the madness continues with Mary Hell, Flosstradamaus, Monsieur Seb and others. If you’re around Montreal, be sure…

What’s up Montreal? This is one of the first posts being written from Philadelphia, so I guess I should get used to saying hey to Philly as well. Hope you’re all feeling spectacularly lazy today. It’s an absolutely gorgeous day in Montreal, and a warm, albeit rainy, one down here in Philly. Both forms of weather happen to be extremely conducive to laziness, so we’re not complaining in the least. In the spirit of this day of rest, I’ll cut…

This week we had the opportunity to chat via email with Nick Millhiser of Holy Ghost!. We very recently featured the up and coming DJ duo as they released Static On the Wire this past Tuesday. The EP features four catchy, skillfully composed tracks that we’ve had on repeat for days. Every listen gets us more and more stoked for their upcoming set in Montreal, opening for LCD Soundsystem on May 24. We talked with Nick about touring with LCD,…

Happy Friday everyone, hope you’re all getting ready to rage this weekend. If you’re looking for live music tonight to get your weekend started right, then you’re in luck because there are a few great options. Fuck Buttons will be performing at Il Motore, and up and coming Montreal DJs Dooze Jackers and Black Tiger Sex Machine are throwing down at Reggies bar on Maisonneuve. And don’t forget, on Monday Holy Ghost! and LCD Soundsystem will be live at Metropolis,…

The Black Keys, expert blues rockers and favorites on TNM, officially released their newest LP, Brothers, yesterday, May 18th. Any hype surrounding the album’s release was slightly diminished by the fact that it leaked almost a month early, but nonetheless, Brothers exceeds every expectation we had of the newest project from Dan Auerbach (vocals, guitar) and Patrick Carney (drums, production.) Considering the simplicity of their instrumentation, the Black Keys have released an impressive amount of material since 2002′s The Big…
