The Cure’s latest album, Songs of a Lost World, is getting a makeover courtesy of such artists as Deftones’ singer Chino Moreno, Mogwai, Four Tet, Orbital, Paul Oakenfold, and others. A remix album titled Mixes of a Lost World will arrive on June 13th, with royalties benefiting the charity War Child UK.

“Just after Christmas I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of Songs of a Lost World tracks and I really loved them,” stated The Cure’s Robert Smith in a press release. “The Cure has a colorful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others.”

He added, “This curiosity resulted in a fabulous trip through all 8 songs by 24 wonderful artists and remixers and is way beyond anything I could have hoped for. Giving our recording royalties from the project to war...

"We're not there yet, but at least we're free." "Settling for 'good enough' won't change the world..." The Match Factory has debuted an official promo trailer for the German film Dear Thomas, from filmmaker Andreas Kleinert. This black & white biopic is about a German "poetic rebel" named Thomas Brasch, and it just won Best Film playing at the 2021 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival earlier this month. "Rebel. Poet. Revolutionary: Dear Thomas is a declaration of love to the writer Thomas Brasch." The film tells the story of the writer and artist Thomas Brasch, who escapes the constraints of the Gdr in the 1970s by setting out for the West, but does not find fulfillment there either. The expressive imagery and the phenomenal ensemble with an unleashed Albrecht Schuch in the title role make this artist''s biography a cinematic masterpiece. The cast includes Jella Haase, Ioana Iacob, Jörg Schüttauf, Anja Schneider,...

The acting in Leonie Krippendorff’s tale of sexual awakening is outstanding, as a girl comes out during a hot Berlin summer

This is nothing to do with Ron Howard’s movie about Don Ameche being rejuvenated by aliens. German director Leonie Krippendorff has created a coming-of-age awakening in the 2018 summer of love, with swimming-pool rapture, yearning bedroom reveries and rooftop party scenes in the Kotti Kreuzberg, Berlin’s Kottbusser Tor district. There are also some noodling YA-style video-journaling inserts, which are an acquired taste. It’s a bit derivative and the metaphor in the title is right on the nose – but Cocoon is also seductive and well-acted.

Fourteen-year-old Nora (Lena Urzendowsky) nerdishly keeps caterpillars in jars in her bedroom, the sort of childish hobby that many people of her age have junked in favour of Instagram. She hangs out with her older sister Jule (Lena Klenke) and Jule’s...

After its tenth anniversary, there’s no denying that Movement has lived up to its name. The Detroit music festival once again succeeded in drawing the techno elite from every corner of the globe to celebrate the genre in the city of its birthplace, but this year’s edition in particular served as a special homecoming of sorts.

After all, the extra year digit was but one milestone reached by the techno community this past week. Shortly before the event took place, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan declared the week of May 23rd-30th Detroit Techno Week. Following that, a business report presented a couple of days later at the International Music Summit in Ibiza revealed that the genre surpassed all others in Beatport downloads last year. Then, on the first day of the festival, the Movement Main Stage was headlined by none other than Kraftwerk – a group whose music tremendously...

With all the noise emanating from the modern electronic music landscape, it’s reassuring to see festivals around the globe keep to the tried-and-true grooves that the scene was built upon. The aptly named Groovefest stands among the few that continue to do it proper, as evidenced by the festival tour’s 2016 lineup.

Groovefest’s 2016 edition will take place on the island nation of Malta, which is in between Sicily and the North African Coast in the Meditteranean ocean. The festival’s lineup will feature the likes of Jamie Jones, Hot Since 82 and the return of Art Department, in addition to over 50 other artists from across the globe.

Last year’s edition took place at Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, where artists like DJ Pierre, Green Velvet and Anja Schneider graced its lineup.

Groovefest Malta will take place from April 29th-May 1st. After looking over the lineup details below,...
