  Lollapalooza 2012 Fieldnotes: Vomit, Farts, & One Whiny Wale

  August 6, 2012 – Sure, we covered every important performance of Lollapalooza's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. But the most vital part of any concert happens everywhere but the stage. Here's the real Lolla in all it's rainy, barfy, farty glory. • Perry's Stage was pretty much an underage bacchanal. I saw braces-aged kids barfing on the barrier, young teenagers passed out alone, barely conscious girls being propped up and made out with. …

• Sisi BakBak: Who Is SBTRKT's Mysterious Remixer

  February 25, 2012 – Where 4Chan had "All your base are belong to us," the dance-music underground has long operated according to the principle, "All your face are belong to us." Every week seems to bring yet another producer toiling in secret under an assumed name — at least until the invariable outing by London's tabloid press (or, barring that, the Discogs hive mind). …

  New Splashy Dance Clips From Cut Copy, SBTRKT

  September 15, 2011 – New videos from two of electronic pop's big hopes make for a study in contrasts. Australian dance-rockers Cut Copy beam their dismembered heads to a planet of the apes in the elaborately conceived, effects-wielding clip for their "Blink and You'll Miss a Revolution," from this year's Zonoscope. …

  Breaking Out: SBTRKT

  September 9, 2011 – For someone who wants to stay hidden, SBTRKT (pronounced "subtract") has a hard time staying in the shadows. The mask-wearing DJ-producer won't confirm his real name (reportedly Aaron Jerome), age, or talk about his musical background, but he has shared a stage with Drake, been tapped for remixes by Radiohead and Mark Ronson, and will be headlining a U.S. tour that launches this month. …
