The Boys I Love
With a suggestive title like that, who are you to resist? A heterosexual male? Well, read on and be ever so pleasantly surprised, because this (fortunately) has absolutely nothing to do with men of the musculature depicted above. Instead we’ll be taking in a couple of beautiful, pseudo-ambient remixes by our two favourite boy related [...]
Yacht Loves The Macbook Air
Jona Bechtolt, otherwise known as Yacht, got a little too inspired by Steve Jobs’ MacWorld keynote this week and put up this delightfully idiotic idea with friend, and song-partner, Claire L. Evans. AirMail is a manila folder notebook sleeve for the new MacBook Air, which Steve Jobs pulled out of a manila folder on stage [...]
Midnight Juggernauts Sign International Distribution Deal With EMI
This is great news for Midnight Juggernauts and independent labels. When the Juggers started out they created their own label, Siberia Records, to produce all of their music and maintain commercial and creative control over their output. When the labels started to take notice they were competing for a slice of the distribution deal and [...]
TV On The Radio // Rihanna // Crystal Castles: Remixed In Digital Form
New Jersey-based Jake Holliday aka In Digitial Form is an unbelievably prolific remixer. And when I say “prolific,” it’s not my delicate way of saying, “shit there are a lot of them, but christ they all suck super-hard.” As I was preparing this post, he literally released three more remixes on his Myspace page, each [...]
Christopher Robin
I have to thank the ever reliable (and reliably left-field) Monsieur P for pointing me in the direction of Aussie up and comers Christopher Robin [MySpace], two lads from Brisbane doing a fine line in acid-tinged, melody heavy electro pop. They seemed to pick up a bit of blog-love throughout last year with their frankly [...]
Black Kids Extended UK Tour
For all the Britons, here are the newly announced dates for Black Kids’ UK tour; which we covered last month. Canterbury – UCCA (Club NME Show) – 28th Jan Oxford – Jericho Tavern – 29th Jan Vice Magazine Tour Dates w/Ipso Facto & Friendly Fires – Glasgow – ABC 2 – 30th Jan Manchester – [...]
So…Big Day Out Approaches…
Well I know I’m a bit slow off the mark, but I’ve just had a look at the Big Day Out set times and quite frankly, I’m devastated. As I made my way through the timetable it all seemed to be going rather swimmingly, with not a clash to be seen. Of course I was [...]
We Back
Hey everyone, As some of you might have noticed the site was taken down early this morning for about 12 hours. It was a terms of service violation for hosting copyrighted content. The copyright holder in this instance could have contacted us via email and we would have immediately removed the offending track but instead [...]
Buy Now Vs Daft Punk: ORNorTON’s Edits
Sebastian Ingrosso scares me. Not sure why, maybe because he’s so epic. Steve Angello I’m ok with, not because he isn’t epic, but I could probably have him over for dinner no problems. Sebastian though? I think I’d run away. Which is why running into Buy Now, the pair of Swedish house legends combined, would [...]
Danger is his first name…
Danger is coming to town in early February. Danger you say? Danger as in unfenced pools and recently mopped floors? Of course not, you big fat silly dick! I mean Danger, that mysterious French electro producer who, like his esteemed countrymen, has a strange affinity for pyramids. But while Daft Punk’s pyramid was constructed of [...]
Emergency! Emergency! Emergency…!
Stephen J Mitchell aka Emergency! Emergency! has run into a bit of trouble. The Sydney-based one-man electronic firecracker has recently lost all of his music-related data to an inconvenient computer crash (when are they ever convenient?) and no, he didn’t back up his files. So don’t ask. Anyway, whether or not God/The Fates hate Emergency! [...]
Justice Fabric Live Mixtape
Ok so this isn’t really a Fabric Live mix but it could have been. So here’s the story: Fabric ask Justice to put together a mix compilation for their popular Fabric Live series. They would have been following in the footsteps of the most excellent Cut Copy and Spank Rock mixes. So Justice decided to [...]
Super Discounts
I cannot tell you how much I love this picture. This is everything a night without memory (for the non-Etienne de Crecy party) should be. But anyway. Before electro went ape-shit mental and consumed the rest of dance music, the French were still throwing it down hard in their own inimitable way. Prime offenders were [...]
Kanye Copies Justice
It’s been out for a while now but I wanted to show you the new Kanye clip. Look familiar? Of course it does! That’s because it was directed by the same guy who does all of Ed Banger’s artwork – So-me. Is Kon The Louis Vuitton Don for real? Yes. Interesting that so-me worked on [...]
