A 15-strong-track album of flammable-fresh at-home and in-club orientated music, it will again bring F&P’s name to the very epicentre of the dance scene. Filo & Peri have brought some of the world’s finest (and previously undiscovered) singers and songwriters into the spotlight.

Now that MP3s are standardized the CD, like vinyl, 8-track, and cassette before it, is slowly being phased out, but is losing this medium really worth it for music fans?

“Sparkle Lane is a street in England where my grandmother lived,” Rogers explains. “The concrete was mixed with pieces of broken glass, so when I was a kid and I’d go to my grandmother’s house in the evening, the street would always look like it was sparkling. That’s how life felt to me as a kid.”

On September 15, British progressive rock band Muse is getting released their 5th studio album entitled The Resistance.

If her music is uncommon, so is Maiysha’s back story.

‘All we ever wanted was to be touched by the gentle fingertips of Vangelis,’ the men of Röyksopp take a moment to spill their collective thoughts, ‘…but that is still to come.’ They have, however, sold over one million copies of their 2001 debut Melody AM, won an MTV Europe Award for Best Video (for “Remind Me”), and toured the world.
