A Taut Line: Remixes
Acid-mutant-disco. Sounds delicious. If I didn’t already know that it was the self-penned sound of Osaka-based UK-expat, Matt Lyne, aka A Taut Line, I’d swear it’s where the Turtles used to hang out on a Saturday night once they were done foiling evil Krang’s dastardly plans. Except Donatello, who probably would’ve stayed at home to [...]
Justice – D.A.N.C.E. (CFCF remix)
Stop! I know what you are thinking. Surely they have done this song to death and should let it go to the old folks home. And that is what I thought too but Canadian hot shot CFCF (who Bec has spoken so fondly of here) have brought some sweet originality to their remix. As opposed [...]
Acid Jacks – Disco Disco Disco (Shoes).
So I’ve decided that Acid Jacks are one of my favourite acts. I seriously love everything they do. I also love the fact that when I talk about them I can be all, “I fully dig those Acid Jacks tracks,” because I like to rhyme. I’ve been obsessing over their latest release, Disco Shoes, pretty [...]
so low, so high
it’s a future funk maelstrom over in LOWCLUB land, a french duo who i like so much that i’ve even violated my usual anti-capitals policy. just for them. unfortunately i’m going to struggle to throw down too much more information on yo asses because both their myspace and their virb are too trenchantly french for [...]
Bonde Do Role Cancel Australian Tour
<sadface> While it is not out of the ordinary for these guys to cancel different legs of their hectic tour schedule many are saying that the band just aren’t getting along. Couldn’t you just play one show for me in Melbourne first and THEN go and break up? Bonde Do Role – Office Boy -nek

Karlheinz Stockhausen Dies
Last week Karlheinz Stockhausen died in Kurten, Germany. He’s one of those guys you should know the name of if you appreciate the origins of modern audio manipulation and electronic music. Known as an experimental orchestral composer, Stockhausen served to influence a slew of forward-thinking musicians through the 60s-90s including The Beatles, Aphex Twin, Bjork [...]
Code Monkey Emily on stage with Jonathan Coulton
Months ago an Evanston IL resident named Emily uploaded a video of herself performing a dance to Jonathan Coulton’s song Code Monkey which received a huge response on YouTube. The track blew up a little as a result. Whilst on tour in Chicago, Jonothan asked the crowd whether the young lady was present and invited [...]
Foals and Wombats and Cazals… Oh My.
I love horses. Lots. I’d like to think it’s a kind of tongue-in-cheek-type love though, seeing as horses are pretty trendy right now and all. That horse necklace I have is supposed to be ironic, ok? And speaking of all things equine, brand new Sub Pop-signees, Foals, have their debut single, Balloons, coming out on [...]
Keepin’ it Regal with Duke Dumont
Boy Electrorash readers, I’m excited! The dashing Duke Dumont is playing 3rd Class on Friday night and Yu on Saturday night, so if you live in Melbourne or Sydney you better get on down. If you’ve never heard of Duke Dumont he’s got a ghetto tinged take on the glitch-house sound busting eardrums around the [...]
Good Vibrations Festival Sideshows
The sideshows for Australia’s massive summer festival Good Vibrations have been announced! The Rapture and Calvin Harris will be both be playing sideshows in Sydney and Melbourne on separate dates. While this is great news for fans of both acts it must hurt to be in Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide. For me what hurts is [...]
The Presets – Are You The One
I was at a club a couple of weeks ago on a Thursday night. It was pretty early on in the night and while the upstairs floor space was full it wasn’t packed and you could have a decent conversation with the people around you. As soon as this track came on people livened up [...]
Ice Ice Baby
I adore getting mail. REAL mail. It usually means that the record I’ve been waiting weeks for has finally arrived. (Currently I’m waiting on the kicky little heart-shaped vinyl from heartsrevolution and Crystal Castles’ Air War, the latter of which I’m particularly excited about because it features David Wolf’s remix, which you can preorder from [...]
