Das Monk Sale
Our good friends over at Das Monk are having a sale. Check that shit out, tshirts are AUD$25! That’s like 3 Euros or something. The sale started yesterday but there should still be some choice cuts there. Check it out at www.dasmonk.com xox nek
DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist Tour
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 Remixed by 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)
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
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 [...]
1928 Live Mixtape 4!
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
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
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
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
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 [...]
New Breakbot Remix – Pacific
