Femme Fatales – My Intention (1928 remix)
1928 exclusively brought us his remix of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” (also featured here and here) and now he brings us his next remix from Adelaide newcomers Femme Fatales. I posted about the original version of My Intention a little while back which I thought was one of the highlight tracks of their recorded material (live it [...]
even better than the elephant
i negotiated my way into the amorphous belly of the beast we call ‘electro’ via a circuitous, and at times frankly embarrassing path through the past decade of dance music (i may, or may not own a wide variety of ministry of sound and gatecrasher trance compilations circa 1999. i was 14. AND SO FUCKING [...]
Digital Love is Always on Time
A follow up on our recent post of Danger’s timely track 14h54. Danger’s homage to 24-hour-time (in my mind, a true unsung hero of the metric system) continues with 11h30. It’s been given a bleepy twist from blog-darling datA, and it’s right here. Danger – 11h30 (datA remix) If you caught datA on his recent [...]
Exclusive: T.E.D.D.’s Epic Lands
Well those super-talented boys from T.E.D.D. have sent us a brand new original track called Epic Lands, and it certainly is impressive. They just have this completely distinctive sound that I adore because it’s so hooky and wonderfully put-together, and they have that uncanny ability to make it all seem so easy. I bet their [...]
Fly Me To Bordeaux…
Well if you happen to have the brand-new Bordeaux-based label, Boxon Records, as one of your Myspace friends, you’ll already know that they released their first ever EP, the Boxon001/Drama Queen EP, on Monday, because they have been bulletining the CHRIST out of it for the past few weeks. And if you’ve also befriended Tom [...]
New Presets Track!
The Presets have finally released their first single off of the upcoming album. And it is good. Formulaic but good. It’s a creeper but it’s fucking great live. While KIM has been bringing out bangers like “Wet N Wild” and “By The Time That They Reach You” the duo together have been touring the exact [...]

Bumblebeez FREE This Sunday…
A couple of weeks ago I was supposed to meet my sister in Marrickville for lunch and I ended up getting lost in some park. There were bugs everywhere, it was frightening, but eventually my sister came and found me. But why am I telling you this, I hear you ask? Well I think the [...]
Clipd Beaks
The other day I was considering what it is about noise rock that makes me love it so absolutely whilst leaving my (cretin) friends so completely and utterly bemused by it. “But it’s just noise!” they keep telling me. Duh. But when done well, it’s perfectly-crafted noise that can skip seamlessly between sharp, mathematical sparseness [...]
22 Grand Job
Two indie bangers for a Friday afternoon. Both of these have been burning a hole in my hard drive for the last week and I wanted to share them out, share the love, and hopefully it will come back to me in the form of your favourite indie-electro tracks of the now. Nuff said, here [...]
La Mode
La Mode come to me through the myspace ether the other day. Normally I don’t spend too much time listening to myspace acts, if the track doesn’t grab while I check out their page its adios amigo! But for some reason I wanted to check out all of La Mode’s stuff. Maybe it was the [...]

Exclusive Teenagers Remix – NARCTRAX
Well I don’t know about the rest of you, but end-of-semester assignments have been doing a pretty good job of ruining my week. In the midst of six extremely overdue library books (at $1 per book per day, no less), sucky Powerpoint presentations, and seminar notes that don’t make sense, I needed something super-super-rad to [...]
