See Dan Deacon Live

Dan Deacon - Perth 08
That’s a command, not a competition. In one of the more incongruous pieces of festival programming I’ve seen in a while, Dan Deacon was booked to follow Feist in her Perth show last night. While Feist was reasonably mediocre (gorgeous voice notwithstanding), it was Deacon who stole the show, playing what could quite possibly be [...]

Kap10kurt Dangerseekers Video

Kap10kurt
In the music business, they don’t get much nicer than Kurt and Leah from kap10kurt. Seriously, whatever they’re made of should be bottled and sold for a ridiculous price to people that are mean. And the government should force them to pay. Anyway, they’ve just released their official debut video clip for their track, Dangerseekers, [...]

Win Tickets to Cajuan Melbourne and Sydney

Written by ned. Filed under Competition, Melbourne, Sydney. No comments.
As I mentioned earlier in the week Cajuan is in town at the moment playing a bunch of shows and we have tickets to give away in both Melbourne and Sydney. This Friday he will be playing Bandits at Club 77 with Spruce Lee, Dan de Caires and Jaime Doom from Bang Gang. We have [...]

The State Of The Music Industry

Written by ned. Filed under Links, News. 1 Comment.
A very interesting article on the music industry as reported by the Digital Music Forum East was on Wired.com today. It raised some interesting points from the point of view of both existing ‘old-school’ players and the digital guys as well. If you like downloading music and paying nothing for it or if you think [...]

Osawa is God

Written by luke. Filed under Remix, Video. 2 Comments.
Goddamn it if our man Shinichi Osawa hasn’t done it again. The always on formKidz by Collete totally rocked my socks a few days ago by dropping some new Shinichi madness, this time in the form of a typically euphoric remix of Felix da Housecat’s ‘Radio’, the new single off Felix’s recently released LP ‘Virgo [...]

New Daft Punk Remixes

Ok, don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Hype Machine traffic whore, but I was doing the (Hype Machine) rounds last night and noticed there seems to have been an unusually high number of Daft Punk remixes floating around this past week. Or have there always been that many floating around and I’ve only just [...]

Vampire Weekend Support Young Knives

Is this not the one of the creepiest-looking bands you’ve ever seen? Dude on the right looks like he’s just moments away from crushing that milk bottle with his bare hands and launching glass shards ninja-star-style into the back of dude in the middle’s head. Dude on the left will probably hide in the corner [...]

Ocelot NLLR Mixtape

Written by ned. Filed under Mix Tape. 3 Comments.
Ocelot have put together a mixtape that has come highly recommended to me from a number of different people so I thought I would throw it up here straight away. It was comissioned as an exlcusive for No Love Lost Records and I love it. Here is what No Love Lost Records had to say [...]

Cajuan Australian Tour

Written by ned. Filed under Release, Remix, Tour. 6 Comments.
Cajuan returned to Australia last week after his extremely well received shows with the Parklife tour in late 08. Unfortunately for me I missed all of the shows last year which I ended up regretting – everyone I have spoken to has raved about his live show. I even forgot to mention his show at [...]

Pete from Pnau

Written by mandu. Filed under Website. No comments.
  Because we’re totally mad players here at Electrorash, i got to have a chat with Pete Mayes, the other, not completely mental guy from Elton John’s new favourite band, Pnau. And what a top guy he is too. Check it out here and, for your convenience, here. Go on! Elton John would do it. [...]

Delorean: Spanish for Awesome

Written by luke. Filed under Release, Remix. 4 Comments.
Yes. It’s a Delorean. And it’s being put back into production this year. That’s right, you, yes you, could be the proud owner of a brand new version of 80s movie history for the paltry sum of $56 000. What better way of showing your absolute dedication to everything retro/futro/electro than by purchasing a wildly [...]

Felix Cartal – Melbourne Show Tonight

Written by ned. Filed under Tour. 1 Comment.
Felix Cartal is playing Roxanne in Melbourne tonight and I for one am really looking forward to it. Not only will I get to hear his set which I unfortunately missed last night but I also get to see the other guys on the bill. First and foremost I am looking forward to catching Future [...]

Klaxons Vs Rihanna

klaxons vs rihanna
So yeah, Klaxons are collaborating with Rihanna (is anyone else concerned at how increasingly bad her hair is getting?) on her hit single, Umbrella, for the Brit Awards tomorrow night at Earls Court, London. And I hear the indie purists weep. I’m not too worried about it though, it’s a catchy song, (if you disagree [...]

Well it’s not long now till the official release of the long-long-LONG-awaited Crystal Castles debut full-length on March 18th. I suppose I don’t have to convince any of you that’s it’s going to be absolutely HUGE, and I have every hope in the world that 2008 will be the year of Ethan and Alice. And [...]

New 1928 Remix – Menowah

Written by ned. Filed under Release, Remix. No comments.
Melbourne boy 1928 has just finished his remix of Menowah’s “Safemode” and you are gonna want to listen to it. We all know 1928 from these posts here, where he remixed Rihanna’s Umbrella, and here where he dropped a sweet mixtape. But Menowah are knew to Electrorash so we did some digging. And when I [...]
