Last weekend (13th & 14th October), DiS made the long journey to Mexico City via New York for the third annual Corona Capital music festival since its conception in 2010. Featuring a mixture of internationally acclaimed acts such as Suede, New Order, Franz Ferdinand and Florence & The Machine alongside a selection of up-and-coming Mexican artists, this year's line-up bordered on the stellar side compared to many of its European counterparts. Here's what we had to say about our trans-Atlantic trek to North America...»

Les Eurockeennes: A Diary - Day ‘Trois’
On the last day of a festival, especially one in a foreign land, it is customary to feel a little low, a little humdrum. And I am no exception, for I wake on Sunday a little sadface that it will soon be over, »

Beach House and Django Django win the red rosettes this week, while some predictably harsh words are doled out to Scouting For Girls and any band who decide to ruin Animal Collective's 'My Girls'. Is this what the end of the world sounds like? Don't be silly, everyone, it's only music! »

Brooklyn based four-piece The Drums currently find themselves riding merrily along the crest of a hype-assisted wave.

Everyone – and I mean everyone is releasing a single this week. So many, that I wanted to use a thoroughly unfair culling method that involved a blindfold, a pointy stick and some glue - or worse, inadvertently lose half my pile down the back of the bin (whoopstheregomyfingers, can't listen to them now, ohdear).

Another week, another DiScover Mixtape... with all this new music, we are really spoiling you (say in a sleazy European accent, liberally smattering zees and vees all over the place).»
