Our friends at Self-Titled copped a great mix from XLR8R fave Daniel Lopatin (a.k.a. Oneohtrix Point Never) for their Needle Exchange mix series. This one features the likes of everyone from Demdike Stare to Andreas Vollenweider. Check the Self-Titled link for a detailed tracklist, or listen below.

Following the 2007 release of their debut full-length Dystopia, Australian synth-rock trio Midnight Juggernauts are set to return with their sophomore release, The Crystal Axis. The follow-up record is said to follow a path previously untraveled by the band: one littered with elements of psychedelia, Italo, prog, Krautrock, and free-form jams all re-focused to fit a solid pop format. Siberia Records, the Juggernauts’ own label, will release The Crystal Axis May 28, with a European and US tour to follow soon after, but you can stream the whole album on the band’s MySpace page now. Check out the video for Axis cut “Vital Signs,” and the some choice tour dates below.

Thursday, July 22 @ Santos – New York, NY
Friday, July 23 @ Voyeur – Philadelphia, PA
Saturday, July 24 @ Brooklyn Bowl – Brooklyn, NY
Monday, July 26 @ The Echo – Los Angeles, CA
Tuesday, July 27 @ Cinespace – Los Angeles, CA

It’s been five years since fun-loving German house/techno duo Tiefschwarz released a proper artist album, so it’s fair to say that there’s some palatable anticipation surrounding the release of Chocolate, the third full-length from brothers Ali and Basti Schwarz. The boys have been kind enough to let XLR8R provide an exclusive preview of the record, which comes out May 28 on Tiefschwarz’s own Souvenir label, although the songs are already available for digital purchase here. Give it a listen and check out the album artwork below.

For 10 years, Detroit, the birthplace and home of countless amounts of electronic music, has hosted an annual festival every Memorial Day weekend, which has showcased some of the best in the all-encompassing genre’s wide array of producers and DJs. Resident Advisor sought out the large number of artists, promoters, journalists, and city officials involved with the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, including the likes of Richie Hawtin, Carl Craig, Anthony Shakir, Matthew Dear, Juan Atkins, DJ 3000, and many, many others, to talk about their experiences through the years of the festival, and why DEMF is important to them and the whole of the electronic music world. It’s an epic piece detailing important moments in music history, and we strongly recommend digging into it, here.
