Do not fret! Of course, terrible music is becoming the ever more popular, and of course, it just doesn't make sense. But thanks to the cool cats of France, Phoenix, our fears are far from realized. Rock 'n Roll has never been easy to define, people simply point out at an act or a moment in time and label it just that. That's fine. As long as these times of definition are still in abundance, we have nothing to worry about. So, without anymore nonsense-talking, MusicDesk presents the Rock 'n Roll moment that will set the standard this decade. If you please...

Meet DEADMAU5: He faxed Berlin!
It would surprise most people to hear that the most listened to radio station in the world is a trance dedicated super station, hosted by none other than the 'best DJ in the world' - Armin van Buuren's "A State of Trance", but such is the growth and widespread appeal of this music that has allowed for such facts to be just that. When Deadmau5 featured on this station in 2008 with tracks from his debut album, Random Album Title, "Arguru" and "Not Exactly", acclaim grew and saw him list at #11 on DJ magazine's highly rated Top 100 DJ Poll with him rising five places to #6 in 2009. Deadmau5 (pronounced Dead Mouse) is also recognized for his seamless collaborations with other top industry artists such as MC Flipside, Kaskade and most notably Rob Swire of Pendulum helping him spread his appeal across continents.
Born as Joel Zimmerman in Ontario, Canada, Deadmau5 prides himslef on electronic live production with a unique twist every time he plays under his super large comic style mouse head,, an ode to the eternal legends of electronic music, Daft Punk perhaps? Armin van Buuren named him DJ of the year 2007 ahead of Tiesto, as well as winning 2 Juno Award for Dance Recording nominations and taking home one trophy for the good work he did with Newton-Davis. Deadmau5 is now the most awarded artist on the beatport music awards.

His first studio album he ever created in this genre was "Faxing Berlin" on almost no funding and using the name 'Deadmau5' after finding a dead mouse on his computer one day it all seemed to be fate after sending it to Chris Lake who then got it played by Pete Tong in the UK. It quickly became one of the biggest dance records in '07 with its fusion of trance chords and house beats. Imitators weren't far away, but it soon was clear that Zimmerman's expert knowledge of the technology combined with his incomparable ability set him apart from anyone. "Its quite a buzz knowing that I have influenced the course of dance music" says Zimmerman, we can only imagine!
Zimmerman hates being called a "DJ" as he feels that, for him, the term is outdated, much of his appeal lies in the technology he uses and his unique ability of playing actual live sets for his audiences; an issue that many DJ's fall short on. He assembles his sets as he goes, making use of cutting edge computer technology, some of which he helped write himself, allowing for the perfect integration of DJ with equipment. As he says, "when people come to see Deadmau5, I want them to see Deadmau5", no cd's are used at all, something very rare in the electronic music industry.
Next was Deadmau5' image, dance music had always been accused of lacking the theatrical element that live bands held, but Deadmau5 wised up to this and converted his logo, a comical mouse head, into a Deadmau5 head, first created by local Toronto movie prop makers.
Deadmau5 is fresh, arrogant and beautifully unique. He is a treat to new comers on the electronic music scene and old timers alike. Few hate him, many are jealous but most are enthralled and unshamefully obsessed. There are very few Deadmau5 in all of music and there will never be enough. A must see live; he next plays at the 02 Acadamy Brixton on the 30th of April; if you are nearby, go!

Legends of the Present: Dave Matthews Band
Bringing together a unique group of local musicians including a violinist (Boyd Tinsley), a bassist (Steffan Lessard), a drummer (Carter Beauford), saxophonist (Leroi Moore) and a short lived keyboardist and himself on guitar the band began touring heavily while being non-discriminate of an audience to play in front of. They quickly developed a buzz through word of mouth, prompting them to record an independant album which ultimately went a long way to getting them signed by the major label ,RCA, under which they released "Under the Table and Dreaming" which sold over 4million copies in the U.S alone and placed them firmly on the path to greatness. Next the band released "Crash" in 1996 which went double platinum and included the song "Crash Into Me" which is a MusicDesk personal favourite as well as being grammy nominated. 1996/7 also saw Matthews launch an attack on music bootleggers together with the American Federal Government which led to the large scale crack down on piracy which included numerous arrests and new legislation. To further combat piracy, the band released three double disc live albums; "Live at Red Rocks", "Before these Crowded Streets" and "Listener Supported" to large unexpected sales, they continued to tour, fostering huge support.
Three albums between 2000 and 2002 saw much acclaim, notably "Everyday" which heard Matthews using the electric guitar for the first time on any of their recordings to date. Matthews went solo for the first time in 2003 and won a Grammy for his vocal performance on the track, "Gravedigger". The band then reformed in '04 to tour with Bruce Springsteen on the Vote for Change tour. In 2005 they then began work on "Stand Up", their first album of all new material since 2001 and during the recording process fans could access a website which offered sound clips and videos of the work in progress. When "Stand Up" dropped at number one on the charts, DMB became the 3rd band in history after U2 and Metallica to land four consecutive number one albums.
The band continued to tour and released two more live albums together with a best of album entitled "The Best of What's Around vol. 1". The band continued to make touring their priority and when the sax man Leroi tragically passed away, he was replaced by Bela Fleck before releasing another live album, "Live at the Mile High Music Festival". The following year the band paid their tribute to Leroi Moore with , "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King".
A truly epic band, benefactors of their own hard work and internationally successful. A legitimate live act concerned only about their fans and the quality they produce; no surprises that they have one of the biggest fan clubs in North America and still growing. Proud to say that Dave Matthews was even born in South Africa. Timeless music and a timeless act.

Unknown is the new Superstar
The days of sitting waiting next to your radio/CD/cassette player for your favourite song are over, nobody does that anymore; music sharing, radio, MTV and VH1 have killed that excitement. We hear too few tracks too many times forcing those in clubs, bars and pretty much everyone else to cringe when the current number one plays. Luckily, this decade of 00's has past and the unknown is the new superstar.Music is categorized, for whatever reason, into decades, and by the time 00's came and went a collective sigh of relief was felt by music lovers everywhere, because the current was always boring and overplayed. Respect was lost instantly for tracks after they were heard 12 times in a day; it even got to a point where radio stations were promising that they would only play songs once every twelve hours (why even say that!). The best new songs and musicians became those who were new, for however long that lasted.
If there is a decade that is going to bring parity back to modern music it is the 10's. Like our adored musical forefathers, our world is in an uncertain place and as they ranted about war and peace we can too. A world that is dying before our eyes, problems exist today that the Beatles could only dream of on LSD. For once the material is there and again the young have the passion to talk about it. The frontier has been reached and what an exciting time it is.
To the next John Lennon, Freddie Mercury and Bob Marley,
happy new year.
May this be the best decade of our lives!

BLUEJUICE_got to get this medication!
Definitely the best find in years! No thanks to Cavan, the Bluejuice craze has begun and it probably wont end until they die of exhaustion, this stuff is hectic!
Still listening to the rest of their offering trying to be disappointed and all I can say is that anybody should consider moving heaven and earth to see them live as I suspect only Daft Punk (in the archives, go take another look) could rival a live act that sounds like them. Their sound is truly unique but in the best and most refreshing way!
Only they could describe themselves properly so thought I might as well let them, below is their biography as written by them, its good!
Bluejuice by Bluejuice...
An aggressive mix of pop, rock, hip hop, electro and disco, Bluejuice are in their element making you dance in a retarded, unselfconscious way. The combination of drums, bass and keys and two harmonizing singers sounds unique, but it's the violence, energy and humour with which the band attack their music that makes them stand out. Latest single 'Broken Leg' sums up the attitude at work - cathartic and silly, emotionally complicated, mental and sweaty. Bluejuice turn entertainment into a contact sport.
The single comes from the band's second long player 'Head Of The Hawk' - a mixture of old and new, pop and dance elements delivered with the melody, cheek and psychosis fans expect from the band. Songs like 'Head Of The Hawk' and '(Ain't) Telling The Truth' see the band take on new forms, mixing hip hop backbeat with 80s melody (REO Speedwagon meets Mad Professor) to deliver surprisingly emotional pop, while 'Little Emperor' and 'Miss Johnston' weld ska and pounding disco to Iggy Pop's raucous punk, and 'Broken Leg' makes Van Halen, Thin Lizzy and The Who tear their collective hair out on the dancefloor.
"It's a break-up record for people who'd prefer to be drunk and dancing," says singer Jake Stone. "A lot of good things turned bad in the year that led up to making this album. I was losing my mind. I wanted the lyrics and the energy in the record to reflect that, but not at the expense of melody. We still wanted to make an album that sounded really pop and upbeat, you know?"
Brooklyn-based producer/engineer Christopher Shaw worked to translate the band's rough demos into a polished production; his discography a clear indicator of his ability to deal with Bluejuice's tangled references. Chris is most recognized for his work engineering the early Public Enemy records, as well as spending the past decade recording Bob Dylan. In between he has been on the desk for a list of artist that includes Weezer, Super Furry Animals, Ween, Chemical Bros and Dashboard Confessional.
"I was attracted to Bluejuice," says Shaw, "because their high energy on previous tracks like Vitriol and the Reductionist. The new demos were even better. Working with a band that had no guitarist seemed to be an interesting prospect as well. (Plus Jerry kept offering me a Ferrari during the recording process. Especially while playing Grand Theft Auto.)
I tried to deliver a more polished/varied sound to the band without dulling any of the things that make them such a great live band. I think we succeeded. There is a great variety of keyboard, bass and drum sounds but yet the record has a very consistent vibe. I pushed everyone in the band to deliver their best performances, almost to the point of exhaustion, and they delivered in spades."
On the visual front the band have continued collaborating with their friend and colleague, Sydney director Sam Bennetts. The band’s video clips are becoming notorious - from ambushing innocent bystanders as a cult in Pitt St. Mall for 'Vitriol', to miming whilst skydiving for 'The Reductionist', and now skipping their way to disrepute in 'Broken Leg', Bluejuice blur the line between televised entertainment and what people expect of a band. Bluejuice and Bennetts are long term friends but the combination works best because "Sam shares the same absurd sense of humour as us, and he manages to make our mental problems look charming"say Bluejuice.
Bluejuice formed during a residency at a terrible pub on George St in the Sydney CBD, from which they were soon fired and replaced by a Neil Diamond covers band. Despite the unlikely start, the five friends released two independent EPs and in 2007 their debut LP 'Problems' hit with an unexpected level of success, with the lead single 'Vitriol' becoming the highest played song on Triple J for almost a year, and charting at 11 in the 2007 Hottest 100, an unprecedented level of radio play of an unsigned band.
The band were also shortlisted for the 2007 Australian Music Prize, and won The Best Emerging Artist section of that same award. In addition, Bluejuice supported major names like Tricky, We Are Scientists, The Specials, Dizzee Rascal, Souls of Mischief, Diverse, and played big gigs on festival bills such as Big Day Out, Splendour In The Grass, Homebake, Falls Festival, and Southbound.
In 2008 the band took that momentum through a sizzling performance at the Splendour festival to sign a record deal with Dew Process (The Panics, The Grates, The Living End). The result of all that is the release of ‘Head of the Hawk’; the second record that will thrust their raucous pop derangement into ever-increasing public consciousness.
"'Head Of The Hawk' is as close as we've come to a 3D document of the band - the stupidity and jokes and the darkness behind the material, the pop melodies and the aggression in the playing, and the dancing. Ah yes, the dancing."
...well put boys, you are truly awesome! There is nothing wrong with you at all!

What A Treat...Phoenix
A treat! This is a treat because I get to express my opinions on a package of perfection for those who haven't yet experienced this musical Mona Lisa, Phoenix's new album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The gift on having to be obliged to replay this album over and over again for specific review-related purposes, is also, absolutely great. Quite simply, Phoenix have had me on my knees since the first taste of their fourth LP. The only way to describe such an album is to go through every song, so be patient and then, be humbled.
Lisztomania: Officially bringing 'groovy' back into music. A healthy combination of moods over the decades, but a fresh attitude for music, thankfully.
1901: The party song for summer. Everyone, from any era or scene or whatever, can all share in this brilliant 21st century piece of art. This song will get you distracted for sure.
Fences: What is this craziness? This song has the potential to unite musically-racist and lost souls alike, as well as bring world peace. This expertise is difficult to comprehend.
Love Like a Sunset, Parts I & II: Epic, in the true form of the word. These two songs are basically twins - you can't play any of these songs without playing the first and then listening to the second - these two are family. These two creations are the recordings of the evolution of the life that is Love Like a Sunset.
Lasso: Phoenix have given their interpretation of 'cool' on this album in the form of Lasso. That is all that I will say.
Rome: Extraordinary! Think of watching a film, a romantic-drama, it secretly sums up your life up until now, it is your identification. This is it! Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome...
Countdown: The door to the magical imagination that we will call 'the consciousness of Phoenix'. We are yet again invited to lose ourselves in the structure of their sound.
Girlfriend: Here is a truly magnificent blend of a melancholy mood and the groove that has been mentioned before. An excellent experiment that will get your nostalgia going again.
Armistice: You're compelled to salute the french men of Phoenix after listening to Armistice, the album's last song. It is fantastic farewell and just a reminder of the prime quality of songwriting.
So, perhaps this does not do the best job of describing the songs themselves, but in this recording every song is as important as the next - it is the feeling after listening to Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix that I am trying to get across, if I may. It's more of a deductive method. Phoenix have set the standard, in my opinion. The album is a story. Now, it is time to for it to be retold and then, time to retell it.

BON IVER.
Justin Vernon; a multi talented musician with a somewhat emotional edge, never a bad combination for an indie-rock singer/songwriter.
From the exceptionally cold Wisconsin (Northern USA) which he claims, "inspires him", Vernon entered into numerous musical ventures, including bands he and his friends formed that went by names like Mount Vernon, DeYarmond Edison and The Rosebuds. Vernon eventually settled on Bon Iver whilst recording what would become the band's first album in a remote mountain cabin, he got the name from watching the TV series "Northern Exposure" and used the French words "bon hiver" which literally means 'good winter'. After breaking up with his band and his girlfriend as well as suffering from mononucleosis, Vernon decided to recover by spending 3 months in a remote cabin in the freezing mountains of Northern USA. With very basic recording equipment, Vernon recorded the album completely himself.
The album, entitled 'For Emma, Forever Ago', was originally not meant for release but after such a positive response from friends and family, Vernon and his band decided to release it properly through a label - JagJaguWar which saw even more support shown. All of the songs you hear on the album are as they were recorded in the cabin by Vernon. Vernon expressed his desire to continue to record in this way in the future; perhaps a trend is emerging as many indie rock bands are choosing to have a heavier hand in the recording of their music as technology is making it far simpler to understand without training or experience.
'For Emma, Forever Ago' is unreal, the perfect album to listen to, cover to cover. Ideal for serenading, it also aids chilling and driving. Three is a crowd when Bon Iver is on, two is ideal!
Best tracks; Skinny Love, Blood Bank and Creature Fear.
Bon Iver is so good!
Enjoy!

Man Who Missions...Riaan Manser
Have you heard of Riaan Manser? You have? Great. You haven't? Listen closely. Riaan Manser is an true adventurer who refuses to take on his dangerous and enduring journeys with support teams. He is a man's man. He has cycled around Africa, unaided, circumnavigating all 36500km of the continent, taking over two years to accomplish the task, and not too long ago he finished kayaking around Madagascar, unaided, circumnavigating all 5000km of the huge island-country's coastline. But what do you expect from a man who's motto is "quitters never win"?
Riaan Manser, the man, has already written a book on his impressive African achievement, entitled 'Around Africa on my Bicycle' and is writing his second book, named 'Around Madagascar on my Kayak', which will record his epic challenge around Madagascar, obviously, and his respective experiences. He also also started his own brand, 'No Food For Lazy Man', which encourages pro-activeness, constructivity and education. If you get his whole deal, which you can look more into at http://www.africa365.co.za/, you can understand that this man has so much good in him, iyt can only be expressed in such extraordinary ways.
Keep a keen eye out for this crazy cat to see what his next plans are. He is bound to do something ridiculous. Listen to his words, appreciate his feats, respect his plans.
Presenting the Future...MusicDesk
Firstly, thank you to the man of MusicDesk himself, MusicDeskManning, for those kind words.
Secondly, take heed of what he is saying, he speaks the truth. MusicDesk is truly getting dik kief.
Thirdly, something to look forward to that Manning has touched on, is Rocking The Daisies.
The MusicDesk Team will be tackling the phenomena that is Rocking The Daisies from two angles, directing our attention to the two areas in which the festival takes pride: Lovely live music and enviromental protection. Expect these two articles to be punctually presented on MusicDesk before the actual festival so that you boys and girls can approach the respective weekend of wonder with a critical, yet enthusiastic mind and high epistemic standards.
However, the buck doesn't stop there at all. This is only the beginning of the informative-era, the time of intellectual expansion to which MusicDesk will play host. So, take advantage. And no, the photo has nothing much to do with what has just been said, but we all want to be wherever that place is. Right? Yes.

It's Free...YOUR LMG
What happens when the academics of the South African music press want you to know more? They publish a magazine, for free. This is not a joke, I can do way better. YOUR LMG is a fairly new print magazine that is distributed throughout the Cape Town and Stellenbosch areas, providing the reader with up-to-date gig guide. While it obviously offers a 'live music guide', (that's what 'LMG' stands for in case that wasn't clear), the magazine also boasts one-on-one's with the hottest faces in various genres, reviews and releases, and a decently-sized pull-out poster, as well as many other creative content.
The guys and girls at YOUR LMG just want to share the love and we all know what the end product of sharing the love is...a lot more love. Honestly, I thought I knew a fair bit about music, not only nationally, but internationally too. Nevertheless, I was silenced with a shh! when friends of my mine were sucked into this resourceful find. Minutes later I too was paging through the magazine, somewhat suprised at how well-informed the contributors were and how little I in fact knew. It's fantastic to see this sort of commitment to music in South Africa, because we do have endless expert acts of rock, reggae, whatever, and because local is indeed lekker. And it's free.
In this month's issue, Dubmaster China, The Wild Eyes, Black Market riots and others that absolutely own. Pick up the latest publication or have a look at http://www.yourlmg.com/ to know more, to advertise and for a good read.

Vrede Forever...Herman Pretorius
The South African music industry is growing. It is booming. Jaco 'Snakehead' Venter, (Fokofpolisiekar and aKing), summed it up well in an interview recently, stating that a few years ago people would reply with a blank stare when asked about their favourite local band, and now most people could list a number of favourite local bands. There are, of course, a number of individuals who have played a vital role in our industry's revolution and evolution, yet one name stands out in bold, capital letters, font size 50, Herman Pretorius.
Herman Pretorius passed away last month after a long battle with cancer, leaving a legacy that you and I dream about, and one on which we model our ambitions in this country. Read about everything he has achieved and tell me I am wrong. I urge you to watch his raw and still elegantly executed interviews on MK and GO - this is professionalism without being pretentious. What struck an A-major chord with me was how you could see his genuine interest in a band when he was interviewing them - this is passion personified.
South African music lovers have been hit hard by the loss of Herman. However, as we celebrate his accomplishments and his time with us, we must keep up the energy and creativity that is the South African music industry. Please visit http://www.vredefoundation.co.za/ to help support cancer awareness amongst today's youth and to pay your respects to one of the elite, Herman Pretorius.
Communication Break(it)down...Led Zeppelin
Here's a famous photo of Led Zeppelin that shows the band posing next to a massive plane with their name on it. There was a whole photo shoot done of the boys by their plane, but this particular photo is probably familiar to most folk because it’s a common poster in stores that still catch themselves selling posters. My friend happily accepted the poster as a gift last Christmas and now it hangs on his wall. A wise decision.
When I see that poster of Led Zeppelin, I wonder about how it would have felt to be them, right there in that part of their lives, by their plane, with the camera aimed at them. Pretty untouchable, I think. I mean, at that point in time, when the photo was taken, the band were in their prime. They knew it too, standing there all coolly and cocky, and rightfully so. Imagine you have a chauffeur. Now imagine you chauffeur is a pilot... What I dig and respect about these guys, apart from their outstanding domination in the roots of contemporary rock ʼn rollers, is how they embraced the ride and lived up to the reputation of rockers . The acceptable arrogance and attraction is all there in the photo, clearly dik gerook or just basically tripping balls, as the expression goes. And assuredly, there would have been groupies frantically queuing for Robert Plant and his crew from the boarding gate to the cock pit.
Look, if you’re given that gift and that opportunity of becoming iconic in an industry that asks so much of you, wouldn’t you also take it by the horns, like a matador with a death wish? There should be a time in your ideal life that is reserved for sex, drugs, rock ʼn roll, in no specific order.

Yes! The Mystery Jets are here.
"All the best band create their own universe. Few, however, create one as strange and bewitching as the Mystery Jets".
It definitely helps that all the band members have known each other from the age of four, and you can hear it. The reckless youthfulness of their current day early 20's helped them create the techni-colour rock and roll masterpiece that was their first album entitled, "Making Dens", which will literally take you through all kinds of emotions, best tracks; ''Alas Agnes'' and "The Boy Who Ran Away". Next as the band grew, they released ZOOTIME and went international for the first time, produced by Erol Alkan, this album set them off so to say, listen to "Umbrellahead" off this. More recently, in 2008, they released Twenty One; unbelievable! Listen to "Behind the Bunhouse", will change your life.
Assembled over a few years, they became the unit they are today around 4 years ago when they captured their drummer, Kapil, who also happened to be a champion break-dancer which is great as well as a big sign that they are not limited to the creative outlet that their band offers them and their listeners. Kai makes film, Will, Blaine and Henry attended the same art school as Freddie Mercury (The Camberwell) and have continue with their art.
Following a $25 000 fine for noise, the band decided to take their band off the urban island on which they lived on a 27 date tour with 16 supporting acts, many of which grew up with the band, such as Jamie-T, the Noisettes. The tour was named the Eel Pie Review, following the White Cross Revival, and it gave the band direction as well as building a bit of hype along the way; much like Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review; perhaps a sign of things to come?
A kaleidoscope of moods, energies and atmospheres builds their intrigue and with every song they produce, you notice the changes, the growth and ultimately the potential for this young group of musicians to become music legends. Mystery Jets are staying.
Enjoy.
