LateRooms.com - See Rising Star James Blake in Paris

James Blake will play songs from his self-titled debut album at La Maroquinerie in Paris.

2011-04-06

PARIS, FRANCE, April 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) Electronic music star James Blake is set to perform at Paris venue La Maroquinerie on Monday April 25th.

The gig should give French fans a chance to see what all the fuss is about, as Blake has been widely hailed as one of British dance music's brightest young hopes since releasing a critically acclaimed series of EPs last year.

After finishing as runner-up in the BBC's influential Sound of 2011 poll, Blake boosted his profile even further with his self-titled debut LP, which was released on February 7th.

The 22-year-old from north London has also kept critics busy by developing a sound that is notoriously difficult to categorise - it has variously been described as post-dubstep, electro-soul and UK bass music.

Although Blake's early material was largely instrumental or based on manipulated vocal samples, many of the songs on his album - including single Limit to Your Love - rely on the artist's own voice and piano playing.

Tickets to see him perform in Paris are priced at EUR22 (GBP19.40). Doors will open at 19:30 local time.

Fans hoping to attend the gig can browse a host of Paris hotels at LateRooms.com, which recommends the Hotel Bastille Paris.

Defective plastics repair themselves

2011-04-06

It can be a total surprise: car tires burst, sealing rings fail and even your dearly beloved panton chair or your freely oscillating plastic chair develops cracks and the material gets fatigued. The reason for this often sudden and unforeseen material failure is triggered by microcracks that may be found in any component. You may hardly see these cracks and they may grow fast or slow. This also applies to fractures in components made of plastic that can be elastically formed. Sealing rings or tires are made of these elastomers and they can withstand mechanical loads especially ...

Exploring the possibilities for zeolites

2011-04-06

HOUSTON -- (April 5, 2011) -- Some people collect stamps and coins, but when it comes to sheer utility, few collections rival the usefulness of Rice University researcher Michael Deem's collection of 2.6 million zeolite structures. Zeolites are materials -- including some natural minerals -- that act as molecular sieves, thanks to a Swiss-cheese-like arrangement of pores that can sort, filter, trap and chemically process everything from drugs and petroleum to nuclear waste. Zeolites are particularly useful as catalysts -- materials that spur chemical reactions. There ...

World's reef fishes tussling with human overpopulation

2011-04-06

In an unprecedented collaborative analysis published in the journal PLoS Biology, scientists from 49 nations demonstrated that the ability of reef fish systems to produce goods and services to humanity increases rapidly with the number of species. However, growing human populations hamper the ability of reefs to function normally, and counterintuitively, the most diverse reef fish systems suffer the greatest impairments from stressors triggered by human populations. The study documented that the extent of this distress is widespread and likely to worsen because 75% of the ...

DNA stretching -- A new technique being carried out at CIC microGUNE to detect illnesses

2011-04-06

Making DNA sequences being passed through nanochannels a thousand times thinner than a human hair to the point that they take on the form of diminutive spaghetti. This is an innovative technique, known as DNA stretching, and is one of the lines of research in which CIC microGUNE is working, and about which they have already published two scientific articles and are shortly to apply for a patent.
