It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything new from garage-rockers Bass Drum of Death, which is why we were particularly elated to hear their new single “Shattered Me.” We were also stoked to hear on of our favorite MC’s Danny Brown was tapped to jump on the remix of Charli XCX’s “What I Like.” Brown is an outspoken fanboy of the british goth-pop princess so knew it would be a match made in heaven. He definitely gave the track that extra edge it was lacking.

We’re hosting a music hackathon! Tue, Jul 24, 2012
This Saturday exfm is hosting the first Monthly Music Hackathon NYC! This is a free, monthly, all-day event for musicians, programmers, composers, and engineers to come up with new music-related project ideas, spend the day making them, then perform or present what they came up with at a concert in the evening.
There are only 2 slots still open for hackers! and still (FREE!) tickets available for the concert portion. You can RSVP for either HERE. We hope you come check out some radical experimentation with music and technology.
In addition to the ecclectic group of musicians, music researchers, and music industry programmers presenting fascinating projects, we also have two very special artists in residence this month:
Didier Aschour: is an experimental guitarist and composer from France. He’s in NYC for the summer on a grant from the French Institute working with American composers Christian Wolff, Alvin Lucier, Pauline Oliveros, and others. His performances — both solo and with his acclaimed ensemeble Dedalus — of the music of Tom Johnson, Harry Partch, James Tenney, and Michael Pisaro are widely praised. He’ll be collaborating with the hackers in attendence on music for acoustic and electric guitar, and will perform his composition Buzzing which explores a technique to make multiphonic sounds with the guitar.
Piste 15 by Tom Johnson
Joe Drew: is a fantastic trumpet player, keyboardist, composer, and Stockhausen scholar based in NYC. His 9-, 12-, and 24-hour performances of John Cage’s ASLSP are legendary. He’ll also be collaborating with the hackers on music for trumpet, and will perform a piece for trumpet and pre-recorded sound.
