New Breakbot Remix – Pacific

Written by . Filed under Release, Remix. 2 Comments.
I can’t believe I let this one pass me by – Breakbot has dropped a new remix! The track takes me back to earlier times, the late 70′s and early 80′s when everything was about those funky, smooth basslines and complementary synths. When a 4/4 drumbeat and some simple vocals was all you needed. And [...]

DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist Tour

Written by . Filed under Melbourne, News, Perth, Short Post, Sydney, Tour. 2 Comments.
Not strictly electro or indie news but certainly for fans of these genre-spanning DJ’s this is news you don’t want to miss. Previous DJ Shadow tours have sold out really quickly so get your tickets ASAP if you don’t want to be left out in the cold. I imagine he will probably play his reworking [...]

damn Arms  NARCTRAX
It’s nice to be back. I hope we were missed. And what better way to kick things off again with Tokyo-based prodigy, NARCTRAX’s official remix of Damn Arms’ The Not So Progressive Punks, which has been burning a hole in my brain for about a week now. NARCTRAX is our lucky star. I couldn’t have [...]

We Back (Again)

Written by . Filed under News. No comments.
Hey Yo! We are finally back and running again. Things are going to be a little different for a couple of days as we get everything back to where it was but stick with us and we guarantee it will be worth it. In the next couple of days we have a bunch of exclusives [...]

Fortune

Written by . Filed under Release, Short Post. 1 Comment.
With the French economy in a state of sustained stagnation, I’m beginning to get the feeling that France may be better served by simply abandoning all forms of agriculture and industry and making synthesiser use compulsory in schools. Controversial sure, but from now on they can play for their food. Synth pop-rockers Fortune are yet [...]

Written by . Filed under Exclusive, Mix Tape. Tagged , , , , . 6 Comments.
Melbourne based DJ 1928 has just dropped this bomb mix for electrorash.com. It’s a far cry from the chilled out sounds of the recent Verbena Rewind mix we dropped or the Justice “Fabric Live” mixtape and brings the party into your FACE! 1928 has been busy DJing around Melbourne with acts like Knightlife, DJ Darlin [...]

The LK: Vs. The Snow

Written by . Filed under Release, Reviews. 3 Comments.
Sometimes when I listen to too much electronic music I start to get concerned that a part of my soul might be dying. Don’t get me wrong, my love for electro is pure, but I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t need the occasional dose of heart-swelling, butterfly-inducing pop sensibility to complement it. With its [...]

Kitsune/Motorola Mobile

Written by . Filed under Fashion?, News, Tour. Tagged . No comments.
Motorola have partnered with a lot of people to promote their phones, especially the RAZR. They even have Kanye West turning down a B&O in favour of a RAZR. Now, I really dig Kitsune. It was their first two compilations that really turned me onto indie-dance and electro in a big way after a mate [...]

Big Day Out: A retrospective continued

BIG DAY OUT MOSH
Sorry Sydney (Hi Bec!), but Bjork was amazing – such a powerful voice in such a tiny freak. The most exciting thing about her set wasn’t the 20 million piece horn section dressed like extras from The Mummy 3, the ethereal sounds emanating from her back up singers or the very fact she hasn’t come [...]

Kitsune Maison 5

Written by . Filed under Release, Remix. 2 Comments.
Another Kitsune compilation, another obligatory highlight-filled blog post. I know I ain’t exactly fresh on the train here (despite the fact that the album doesn’t even drop until February 4…), but these little fellas have turned into such barometers of the ‘electro’ sound that they do seem to deserve at least some appraisal. So, what [...]
