1. Madrid (Canadian electronic-pop)
The BBC hailed MADRID’s 2004 debut Warm Waters (Aporia/Universal) as “the indie record Boards of Canada never made”. Rubbing stage shoulders with international touring acts UNKLE, M83, ULRICH SCHNAUSS and FRIENDLY FIRES, receiving heavy radio and video rotation, and critical acclaim in their native land of Canada and abroad, MADRID are well respected indie/electronic scene heroes.

In 2007 MADRID released their 2007 follow up EP —-First Message—-. Featuring remixes by German shoegaze heaveyweight Ulrich Schnauss (to be included on his 2010 Best-Of collection), and hometown peers vitaminsforyou and The Cansecos, it was a first glimpse into what can be expect from their highly anticipated 2010 LP ‘—-Original Message—-’ (YYZ Records/FontanaNorth).

—-Original Message—- combines club-worthy dance tracks and late-night slow jams that raise both the hands and the heart. The range of influences here is vast - you can hear traces of past greats like Jesus and Mary Chain and Stone Roses alongside experimental Aphex Twin and 808 State, filtered through contemporaries like Royksopp and M83.
