Dukla Prague Away Kit Review – Al Kemet by Ketsa
This is Ketsa, a Londoner Dominic Giam who produces rather fine electronica for the more classical ear, mixing jazz influences with rolling beats and all round glitch-iness that is not a million miles off Four Tet, Funki Porcini, and Minotaur Shock.
Netlabelism Review – Al Kemet by Ketsa
There is a distinct purity to this exotic multi-dimensional sound, which is presented with effortless clarity. He does not hide behind anything; the ideas and sounds are raw, but expertly mixed and delivered with style.
Album Review – Ketsa ‘Al Kemet’
Staggered piano loops over catchy breakbeat There’s a confidence and crispness to the meshing of genres at play here that marks out the Londoner as a name to look out for. The artwork by Cambodian artist Dina Chhan is equally impressive.
It brings me up, makes me smile
One of my favourite independent electronic musicians… Dominic Giam aka Ketsa has a new album coming out soon and I was privileged to get a preview copy from my friend Warren over at Invisible Agent… in short: it is an utterly delightful expression of the cosmopolitan plurality of now… and I love it. I am […]

The death of vinyl and the rise of glitch
Several years ago I decided to move to the other side of the planet. Before I departed my biggest issue was what I would do with my sizable record collection. Luckily for me I have a very generous friend (Steve, thank you) who is taking care of my collection while am I away. I recorded […]
Hip Hop – Obama says no to Instrumental
Everybody knows the power of words is tremendous, and writing a controversial post increases traffic. A perfect example of this is Phillip Mlynar’s recent article in SF Weekly with an award-winning title “Instrumental Hip-Hop Sucks. Ban It Forever“. I chuckled when I first read the title and knew it was going to cause a stir. […]

Ambienteer recently put out his 30th release and we think know this is a monumental occasion. Such frequent and high quality […]
Merry pranksters from the MPAA
It would seem that MPAA CEO Chris Dodd has completely lost the plot. According to a very angry letter from Senator Dodd, protests against SOPA are ‘pranks’ and websites supporting the Anti-SOPA campaign are doing it “to further their corporate interests”. This would imply the creative commons world, Wikipedia et al, are a bunch of […]
