Some very Lifelike Damage

Written by mandu. Filed under Release. Tagged , , , . 3 Comments.
As we’ve already established, This Boy’s in Love is kicking arse and taking names. But then French powerhousers Lifelike step into the mix, and the epic, stadium-filling bass of the original is tightened into swirly, hands-up indy-house sugar. Awesome. Stick that in your thickshake and suck it. The Presets – This Boy’s in Love (Lifelike [...]

So. Much. Crookers.

Written by luke. Filed under Website. 10 Comments.
Oh good. Exactly what the world needs. Another blog post about Crookers. I have a strange relationship with these Italian boys though. A quick iTunes search reveals 35 separate Crookers tracks and remixes in my collection, and their tunes liberally pepper my DJing CDs, but when it comes down to it, I really only like [...]

Foals Remixed by Loud Pipes

I honestly don’t know what’s going on in this picture. I mean, I thought I got it: you put “let me show you my,” and “horseballs,” into a sentence and present it to a certain demographic, and you’ll have guaranteed laughs, or at the very least a silent appreciation of your superior homograph-dependent comedic skills.

This Boy’s in Love….

Written by mandu. Filed under Tour, Video. Tagged . 3 Comments.
Yes he is! Not with that shitty little rock, with The Presets’ new single of course! And here’s the brand spanking new video clip – featuring dust, milk and men hugging. A powerful combination you’ll agree. Give those kids a Logie. Follow the link: ‘This Boy’s in Love’ video clip You may also notice that [...]

Animal Collective – Water Curses EP

Written by bec. Filed under Release. 1 Comment.
Ok ok, so I know EVERYONE’S already posted about this EP ages ago, but I’ve been holding out to see the cover artwork and haven’t for the life of me been able to find it. So here it finally is. It’s nice and so typically Animal Collective, as is the rest of this EP, due [...]

Estelle feat. Kanye West Remixed by Danger

estelle and kanye
Oh my god… a new Danger remix? Jeez, that came out of nowhere. And I kinda didn’t expect it to be of an Estelle track of all things. Pandering to a different/bigger market? I hope not. Nevertheless, I don’t mind it too much, even though I pretty much have no interest in Estelle. Kanye, on [...]

The(se) Shoes Are Better Than Yours

Written by luke. Filed under Release, Remix. 3 Comments.
As a general concept, me and shoes don’t really agree. When your choice of footwear is circumscribed by the twin necessities of orthotics and a 6 cm raise on the left foot, you tend to stick with one pair for as long as is humanly possible. But when The Shoes are French and sound like [...]

Eclier

Dude’s as cute as a button, produces amazing electro, and comes from Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. Yes, Siberia. Of course, being part-Russian myself, (ok, ok, so I’m only 1/16th Russian, but whatever!!) I was on the Eclier bandwagon in a matter of moments, but I suppose some of you non-Federates may need more convincing. So… he’s been [...]

Cut Copy – In Ghost Colours

Written by ned. Filed under Release. 11 Comments.
So after many months of hype and three singles later Cut Copy finally dropped their second album on Saturday. I was lucky enough to snag an early copy on Thursday night and have been listening to it constantly since then. And it’s beautiful. It’s been 4 years since their debut album, Bright Like Neon Love, [...]

A-Trak…

…is cool. So cool in fact he turned down an offer from Jay-Z to be his touring DJ. Mans got skills, and this definitely proves he’s got balls. He’s already Kanye West’s touring DJ, so perhaps this was a premeditated effort to prevent ‘beef’ from occurring. And he’s got a new LP coming out soon. [...]

Goldfrapp Remixed by Metronomy Feat. The Teenagers

Written by bec. Filed under Remix. No comments.
Anyone else think she kinda looks like an Olsen Twin in this picture? Not the anorexic goth one, the other one. Yeah. Strange, because in every other photo I’ve ever seen of her she couldn’t even pass as the Olsen Twins’ mum. Interesting… But the wonders of Photoshop aside, this lovely track was posted a [...]

So I Google-Imaged ‘evil bunny’ and this is what came up. I don’t get it. But ok, I did grow up with Watership Down, and those rabbits were nothing but tiny, long-eared, forest-dwelling satans who liked to chew each other’s faces off… Now I get it. I knew a girl in highschool whose parents gave her pyjamas [...]

Look out Wollongong…

…Azzido da Bass is coming for you.. And for Townsville. And Maitland. He’s even going to Perth, Luke! So i don’t know who AdB’s booking agent is, but if he really wanted a holiday, he should have gone to Phuket – Superstar DJs aren’t don’t fare well in the rugged country backwaters of this great [...]

Electrorash VS Pivot

Written by bec. Filed under Sydney, Tour. 6 Comments.
So ok, tonight everyone who doesn’t live in Melbourne (including myself) will be missing out on the amazing event that will be our first ever official Electrorash party. [Insert a thousand sad sighs here.] Fortunately, just because you live in another city, say… oh… Sydney, doesn’t mean your night has to suck. Our very own [...]
