September 20th marks the 30th birthday of Berlin pianist Nils Frahm, but also the day he has chosen to give his fans a special gift in the form of 9 songs he recorded with 9 fingers, entitled 'Screws'.

Nils experienced an unfortunate accident which saw him fall from his bunk bed located directly above his studio, which resulted in a broken thumb. But through inspiration from his fans and after a gentle walk and talk through the park with a close friend, he decided to deal with the situation in the only way he knew – playing his piano.

With four screws surgically placed inside his thumb, he started recording with his remaining 9 fingers, what later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings.

Fans can download 'Screws' as mp3s or in full 24-bit 44.100 kHz audio quality here (http://screws.durtonstudio.com), and pre-order a Vinyl/CD edition from the Erased Tapes online store (http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP046), which will be released later this year.

'I am sitting in front of a sheet of paper. My right hand is bending over my left thumb. The first day I got out of my cast I could bend it by 15°. Now I am already at 50° and that makes me happy. Things are going uphill...

As you can imagine, it is really bad news for a pianist when he gets diagnosed with a broken thumb. That day I was sitting in the emergency room, feeling rather dizzy while thinking of a zillion shows coming up and all the people involved around it. I realised in that moment how busy things have become. It is hard to turn down interesting projects and opportunities, since I surely love my work. It actually never felt like work. Playing piano and playing it for wonderful people is the greatest joy I can imagine.

For a couple of days I felt like this all could be over. How pathetic. But hey – also feeling sorry for yourself has its place somewhere. All of a sudden I had so much time, an unexpected holiday. I cancelled most of my schedule and found myself being a little bored. Even though my doctor told me not to touch a piano for a while, I just couldn't resist. I started playing a silent song with 4 fingers on my left and the remaining 5 on my right hand. I set up one microphone and recorded another tune every other night before falling asleep.

The day I got rid of my cast I had recorded 9 little tunes. They have helped me feel less annoyed about my accident and reminded me that any good is something I can only achieve, when I am making the most out of what I've got.

Thank you all for listening!

With lots of love,

Nils

Lianne La Havas - Forget (Mele Remix)

Work Drugs latest single 'Tigerbeats' was written after our crazy show this past July in Philadelphia at the Barbary's weekly indie dance party of the same name. A good time was had by all that attended, 

http://blogs.philadelphiaweekly.com/music/2012/07/31/do-you-have-photos-of-the-couple-who-legit-did-it-in-the-middle-of-the-barbary-last-night/

With our fuzzy memory intact, and plenty of photographic evidence to fill in the gaps, we pieced together the night and all of its debauchery into what has become, 'Tigerbeats.'

So here it is, a tribute to that night, as well as the timeless teen idols that epitomize that party;  shall they all remain forever young.

BUY/STREAM Here: http://radi.al/PHLUXNym

PHLUX has kept this piece of uplifting melancholia off the digital store radar until now. Having hit over 1 million plays on Youtube and just shy of 1 million plays on Soundcloud 'NYM' finally gets the release it deserves.

What can only be described as an underground sensation this majestic single radiates atmosphere and ambience. An aquatic late night feel presses this chilled out beauty into a warm sense of downtempo pleasure.

Having worked with David O'Dowda, who is known for his tracks featured on 'The Walking Dead', PHLUX is starting to come alive and get noticed for his own productions. Expect to hear an EP in 2017 on Pegdoll.
