These fine British gents are coming to the Fox Theater in Oakland tomorrow evening, so we thought we'd offer up one of their more popular tracks, "Two Months Off" which was featured on 2002's Beaucoup Fish A Hundred Days Off [Ed. Note: Apologies... we only own two Underworld albums, and we mixed them up and were typing too fast. Jeez, sorry.]. If you're into their brand of rave-y, urgent, melodic electronica, you might also enjoy this live version of the song from 2003 concert in Japan with the full 3-minute intro intact.

Before growing into the acclaimed DJ and electronic music producer that he is today, Tiga got his first exposure to music touring the Goa region of India with his DJ father in the 80s. Now based in Montreal, he's now released four albums, including 2001's acclaimed Mixed Emotions, and the popular 2006 disc Sexor. He has a new album, Ciao, which bridges the gap between IDM (intelligent dance music) and more heady, heavy electronica (hear some here).

Each Tuesday we will feature new music that should (or whatever) be on your radar. All bands this week featured in our Standout section are from the Bay Area. Standouts: 1. Arp - In Light: Pop minimalism aren't two words that aren't often placed in the same sentence, let alone right next to each other, but Arp, based out of San Francisco, has fused pop and minimalism together to something organic and exciting.

Oh Björk! You quixotic Icelandic vixen, you. You dancer on the tongue-tip of the art vanguard. You lucky multi-million-dollar musician. Unlike mere mortals who don't have the clout or funds to access such items, the modern music diva gets her very own reacTable with which to "wow audiences" while on tour this summer, according to Wired.com. SFist Leanne saw it in action herself, at Shoreline, back in May.

It's a free show at the G3 Lounge (3910 Geary at 3rd Ave.) with electronic music by local noisicians, Thomas Dimuzio and Andre Custodio. (8 PM)

The first time we saw Imogen Heap was at the rodeo on Austin, Texas, about eight years ago when she was touring on her first album I Megaphone (we'd fished the record out the promo box at the used CD store where we worked and fell instantly in love). Performing a short set for a radio event, she sat alone at her piano and sang "Come Here Boy" with a voice that filled up the dirt-filled coliseum. Then she disappeared for four years, eventually reemerging as the voice of Frou Frou, a duo that rarely toured. Thanks to some love from Zach Braff and "The O.C.", her audience continued to grow, but when she recorded her second solo album Speak For Yourself in her London flat in 2004, she still didn't have a record label in the U.S. It's been a steady climb for Immi, so it was a pleasure to see her perform Sunday night to a packed crowd at the Warfield.
