Details on the newest edition of the Fabriclive series have been released. Aside from a sweet album cover featuring Kieren Hebden wearing his own Trout Mask Replica, expect some new originals and a few killer remixes. Read about it and check out the track listing on Resident Advisor.

Modular preps "Since I Left You" reissue

No concrete details have arisen from the rumor mill about the Avalanches highly anticipated follow up to 2001's Since I left You - their first and only full length album -- but based on the status of their website, which has recently been revamped after years of inactivity, and a recent interview with their Label boss, Stephen Pavlovic, it's looking like the new album may actually see the light of day in late 2011 or early 2012... but, then again, we've been duped before... Fortunately, the good people at Modular Records have announced that the label is prepping a special 2-disc deluxe reissue to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the landmark debut album. While no release date has been set, they have given us a list of awesome things to expect: Unreleased early B-sides and demo tracks, remixes from El Guincho, MF Doom, Black Dice, and Jackson and his Computer Band, along with Avalanches remixes of other artists, and more. While you wait, here's an older remix of the title track from StereoLab!

Micromix 13 - Rewind (it's been a while)

So, you may have noticed that we've been on hiatus for a while. We haven't been completely unproductive though -- Our internet radio show on KSFS just finished it's second season and was nominated for best original program in the SF State Broadcasting Dept. If you dig minimal techno, electronica, and house music, give it a listen. We'll also be releasing some podcasts in the near future that are full of new electronica, so don't you worry. In the mean-time, here's a bit of an eclectic catch-up mix of tunes we like, just to let you know we aren't dead. It works good for late night/early morning type listening, but I'm not your dad. Do what you want.

change of plans

The Physics Engine webspace will be changing a bit. Now that we're doing the radio show less frequently there has not been too much to report, but I can't let the blog go to waste so the content is going to shift toward the exploits of the Physics Engine musical collective -- aka "Physics Engine the band," which consists of anybody and everybody, and "Dojo Lion" which consists of Dan, Ramin, and Myself. Of course we'll also highlight musical adventures from all our friends too. I've added more like-minded collaborators to the mix, so expect more silly posts and musical discoveries that go beyond the realm of electronica. I know this is a big step, but I think it will be good for us.
Sinceriously,
-Jon

Stream and/or Download Past Episodes

Hey all,
I've been dogging my radio duties as of late, but now I've finally added some past episodes to the blog. You can stream the episodes by pushing play, or just click the title to download. Easy, yeah? I'm working on getting our playlists up to, but in the mean-time, if you really need to know a song title, just leave a message with the Episode number and time-code and I'll get back to you asap.
Enjoy,
-Jon

Actress Remixes "Surfer's Hymn" by Panda Bear

From the B-side of Panda Bear's latest Kompakt 7" release. Actress, AKA Darren Cunningham, provides a killer remix that compliments the spaced-out Beach Boys vibe that Panda Bear does so well. Bearing little resemblance the original, Actress makes the song his own and uses the unintelligible lyrics of Panda Bear as a sort of vamp to an underwater Atlantis rave. Pick up the limited single at a respectable record store near you before they disappear.

Stop. Wait. Collaborate!

If you're still reeling from Burial and Four Tet's 2009 collaboration, Moth/Wolf Cub, then your ears are are sure to shit their pants when they hear what Radiohead front man, Thom Yorke, adds to the equation. That's right! Burial, Four Tet and Thom Yorke just released a 12" single featuring two songs, Ego and Mirror, via Kieren Hebden's own Text label. Needless to say, the all-star lineup yields some interesting, and highly danceable results. Listen to it here, and on our show, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the all black, unlabeled, limited vinyl release coming to a record store near you.
