Dmitry Fyodorov
Death Metal House. Doesn’t the mere phrase send trills of excitement flooding through your veins? Well then, it’s time to get excited about Dmitry Fyodorov, fine purveyors of all things DMH and Russian. They kinda sound like Boys Noize being sucked through an industrial fan – relentless, distorted, pounding tech-house with its sights set firmly [...]
La Mode – No Love Lost Records Mixtape
The boys from Melbourne trio La Mode have put together a spanking new mixtape for No Love Lost Records – and it is a cracker! We don’t normally post more than 1 mixtape a week but this one has a really cool vibe to it and is different from the stuff we normally post with [...]
VERBENA SELECTED 2 & VERBENA REWIND 2: A DOUBLE PORTION
We have posted about the chaps over at buffetlibre.net a couple of times now (here and here) and now they have brought out another series of their Verbena Selected and Verbena Rewind mixtapes. The idea behind these mixtapes is that people whose opinions you care about have chosen the tracks and then the Buffet Libre [...]
New Miami Horror
Miami Horror is coming back into the clubs with a remix of Datarocks 2006 single “Fa Fa Fa”. The original wasn’t something to get me moving but this synth heavy remix on the disco tip is definitely one for the dancefloor. And that outro – damn! The track is set to feature on a reissue [...]
Boys Noize – Suck My Deck Mix
Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize has just released his first ever mix cd today as part of the Suck My Deck series for Bugged Out Recordings. Suck My Deck has been around for a few years now, with the Simian Mobile Disco boys having a phenomenal crack at it last year, and Ivan Smagghe, Damian [...]
V Fest Approaches
So while everyone is now winding down from their SXSW-related excitement on the other side of the world, we’ve well and truly come to the tail-end of our festivals here in Australia. And yet, due to my ridiculous ticket-buying addiction, I’ve spent my hard-earned dollars on a V Fest ticket. God, what a shit addiction. [...]
Miami Horror vs Knightlife – Electrorash.com Party
So we have finally decided to throw an electrorash.com blog party. We saw the kind of cool shit that guys like Bigstereo.com had done and wanted to be one of those people putting on a party for no reason other than that we like music and want to share it with you. The first (of [...]
The Requesters Show More Love
The Requesters are no strangers to these pages (you can find some previous tuneage here and here), but we’re yet to devote an entire post to them. Until now. Oh me, oh my. The Requesters are two dudes named Alex and Uri from down Barcelona way (well, at least they studied there), who have recently [...]
Black Kids Remixed by The Twelves
Here’s something I picked up from So Indie It Hurts a couple of days ago and have been more than a little obsessed with ever since. Jacksonville’s newest golden children, Black Kids‘, debut single, I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You, has been well and truly raised into the statosphere upon [...]
Reasons to Resent Perth #2: M83
Oh, this one stings. This one really stings. I can’t tell you how much I love M83. They’re one of THOSE bands. You know, the one’s that soundtrack a really momentous stage in your life, and then you figure you love them so much that you’re going to get a giant tattoo of one of [...]
Gotye – Heart’s a Mess (Ocelot Remix)
Do turtles eat ocelots? Dude looks hungry. Or affectionate. I’m not sure which… Do turtles love ocelots? An interesting choice for the Ocelot boys’ latest remix, it’s not exactly the kind of track you hear and think, “this would go awesome in a club with some cut-up vocals and distorted bass.” Somehow, of course, they [...]
Justice – D.V.N.O. (Surkin Remix)
While writing this post on the charming Surkin a little while back, I read an interview on Beat in which he mentions this phenomenal piece of work. When asked about his upcoming debut full-length album, he replies that Institubes had him handcuffed to his stove. Unfortunately for him this wasn’t actually as sexy as it [...]
D.I.M. in Sydney
So when Trashbags (YU) said last week that they were hosting a secret guest from Germany this Saturday and made the rather vulgar assumption about our collective reaction to him which coupled “cream” with “your pants,” I was stumped: “If it was Boys Noize they’d advertise that shit for weeks.” Quite clearly I’m an idiot, [...]
Fucked from above? Yes please.
