Adam Kesher follow up their outstanding debut EP on Disque Primeur with this loaded single, featuring four new tracks and four remixes from all over the place. This EP also marks the official remix debut of the Lab's very own Snack &...   click for more

Digital release of the now out-of-print debut from Adam Kesher. (It never came out on vinyl.) Y'all might remember Adam Kesher's first appearance at the Lab from their rock cover of Para One's rave anthem "Dun-Dudun" on Institubes, but this EP is...   click for more

Second album from Bloc Party, and that means it's time for the haters to start crying "sophomore slump!" Don't think anyone arguing that point will have a leg to stand on with A Weekend In The City, though: whereas many bands play...   click for more

This album is really phenomenal - one of the best rock albums of the past few years in my humble opinion, and you need it around. Tracks like "Banquet" and "Helicopter" absolutely nail the disco-punk thing but it's the shit that isn't...   click for more

Remix albums are not only usually just a quick cash-in on a hot band, but pretty dodgy in quality - but you know Vice wouldn't do you dirt! Even a couple years after the fact, these remixes of tracks from Bloc Party's...   click for more

A nice little companion EP to Bloc Party's Silent Alarm album. I'm guessing these are outtakes or leftover B-sides, but really they're solid enough to be album tracks. "Storm and Stress" starts out with guitars straight out of an old Capcom soundtrack,...   click for more

When your parents are Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, you basically ooze cred instead of eye crusties when you wake up in the morning. Charlotte Gainsbourg is better known as an actress than a singer in her home country of France (with...   click for more

"Bonafied Lovin" spawned no less than 4 separate vinyl singles, all with differing tracklistings. This digital release shares the same line-up as the Turbo single plus the unreleased Tough Guys mix (a pretty cool 80s pop version). For the fuzzy...   click for more

Dave1 and P-Thugg return to the album game after a few years of live shows and mixtapes, and they're sounding fresh as ever, proving why they're the shiny superheroes of the Vice roster. (These guys have funk laced in their bones like...   click for more

Chromeo consists of two guys from Montreal, Dave 1, Vice magazine's music editor, and his boy Pee Thug, one of the other guys at the Audio Research label. The record is also on Vice's record label, and that magazine's hating track record...   click for more

From the Avalanches, to AC/DC and especially to Kylie Minogue, Australian exports always manage to capture my man Roger Yamaha's heart. So when we got in this "Future" single by Melbourne's Cut Copy, it wasn't hard to guess who would be first...   click for more

The term "highly anticipated" gets tossed around a lot, but it might actually be an understatement in the case of the new full-length from Cut Copy. This shit is already #1 on the Australian charts... okay, you probably only have to sell...   click for more

On a recent research trip to Discogs, it was revealed that Cut Copy released their first record in 2000! Whoa! I had no idea they'd been doing it this long. This most recent single, produced by one half of the DFA production...   click for more

Cut Copy was instantly popular with the remixes of "Future" that came out last year, and they've come back with more powerhouse remixes this time around. Kingroc and Headman bring us two hot remixes of "Saturday," each exceptionally unique in their own...   click for more

Outstanding, freewheeling album from this 17-piece psych rock collective out of Athens, GA. Here's the review, but you should really just listen for yourself: "Imagine the Stooges meeting Crazy Horse with killer marching band horns, wailing gospel backing vocals, ripping Eddie Hazel...   click for more

You'll be hearing the name Fortune a lot in 2008, but for now just start with this: four new tracks from France's latest rock prodigy (DP sez: "Ratatat and Phoenix just had a baby!") plus remixes from fellow countrymen M83 and Tepr,...   click for more

Some of my favorite memories in Philly? Crushing Yuengling beers and rocking out at a live Jotto show at the Khyber. I went to college with these guys so I've seen this indie/rock band develop over the years. From starting out providing...   click for more

Martin Hannet co-founded Factory Records and helped shape the Joy Division sound as their producer. Hannett ran his own tape machine through Joy Division and New Order recording sessions and often also created mixes of their tracks that he did not play...   click for more

Put together by a couple of Belgian Joy Division experts to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Ian Curtis' passing away, this comprehensive collection features live peformances and studio outtakes interspersed with rare audio interviews with the band and producers. 14 musical tracks...   click for more
