DJ Kicks on sale at CD WORLD!

DJ-Kicks started out in 1995 as a compilation of electronic DJ club-style mixes in the techno or house genres, with the then-novel twist of being targeted to a home listening audience. Soon afterwards, both the choice of compilers and the genres included were expanded: In addition to DJs, more and more producers (like Terranova), remixers (like Kruder & Dorfmeister), bands (like the Stereo MCs) and musicians (like Nicolette) compiled DJ-Kicks albums. The actual music began to vary wildly as well, ranging from Trüby Trio's downbeat jazz sound to Kemistry & Storm's aggressive drum and bass. Still, all contributions remain broadly within the electronic music genre.

At CD WORLD you'll find our entire selection of DJ Kicks comps on sale now in our techno section!

Sick Puppies live at CD WORLD June 5th at 2pm FREE!

Sick Puppies don't do things halfway, not when they're playing live in front of their rabid fans, nor when they tackled Tri-Polar, their second major label album for RMR/ Virgin/EMI and follow-up to Dressed Up As Life. When the Australian band decided to break through in the U.S., founding members, vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Shimon Moore and his high school classmate, bassist Emma Anzai, simply picked up and moved lock, stock and guitar amps to L.A., advertised for a drummer on Craig's List, and were soon joined by Orange County native Mark Goodwin. Catch Sick Puppies live at CD WORLD June 5th at 2pm FREE! We also have tickets for sale to their show later that night at the WOW Hall in Eugene!

Doubleplusgood live today at 3pm FREE!

Former Eugenean Erik Carlson and Andrew Nelson make up the electro-pop duo DoublePlusGood. Playing since 2005, Carlson released his first CD as a one-man band on Sleepsound Records in 2007. DoublePlusGoods new mini album, the Dancipation Proclamation, reflects a reimagining of DoublePlusGood. Instead of a band flirting with dance and electro influences, DoublePlusGood dives headfirst into uptempo glitch-pop. The circuit bent synths and distorted drums compliment a more confident and confrontational lyrical sentiment. Come catch Doubleplusgood live at CD WORLD on Saturday February 20th at 3pm and then see them later that night at Sam Bond's in Eugene. Dancipation Proclamation will on be on sale at a special sale price!

Music William's Geekin' On Right Now...

Beautifully packaged and pressed on 180 Gram Vinyl, James Brown's "Jungle Groove" has been reissued (issued for the first time?) as part of Universal's "Back To Black" vinyl series. The iconic cover image alone is enough to satisfy vinyl fetishists. However, the album is as described on the back "full-length, full-strength masterfunk". Universal has skillfully stitched together unreleased recordings, alternate versions, and early versions of well known tracks such as Hot Pants to paint a portrait of James Brown during a transistion period in 1970, but scorching nonetheless. Highlights include a "Funky Drummer (Bonus Beat Reprise)" and "It's a New Day" (Featuring Maceo Parker). The sleeve notes go into great detail regarding how this recording came to be, and the history of each track along with perspective on James Brown's career at the time. It's worth buying for this alone. "Jungle Groove" is a great addition to the "Back to Black" series as well as the exciting revival of music's best and truest format: vinyl.
