Dubstep Digest Vol. 1
Now, while I wouldn’t say I’m ‘losing my shit’ for dubstep per se, there still remain a number of tunes (in my admittedly limited catalogue) that have impressed me no end. While I harbour severe doubts about its club-worthiness (methinks a full night might kill me with boredom), I see dubstep as one of the [...]
It’s Over
It’s finally over. I handed in my last assignment for the semester and performed my last presentation. Tomorrow I will go to my last class/lecture and then taste the first beer of an 8 week break from uni. Thank god! So in typical fashion do not expect to see me in daylight for the next [...]
Cajuan, the medieval master
As my first post I thought it would only be fitting to acknowledge the first person to have had a big impact on my digital tastes: Cajuan. He toured twice last year once for Parklife and and again for various parties but I thought I would bring to your attention a fine piece that you [...]
Disco Sirens Remixed
Hey look, Ned, no partial nudity this time! As much as I am a purist in regards to the original track, I actually really enjoy this remix. Midfield General – Disco Sirens (Meterhead Remix) Thanks, IHEARTCOMIX. - bec
I wanna roll with Scott Hobbs
Because he has totally invented TOUCHSCREEN TURNTABLES. Stick that on your Serato and serve lunch with it. The ATTIGO TT are two touch-screens with vertically scrolling waveforms that can be cued, scratched, dragged and altered in pitch – manipulated in pretty much anyway you do vinyl. I bet it even has a crappy scratch out [...]
VHS Or Beta – Half Price!
I guess this is one of those situations where you just go along with it and don’t ask why. Signalling the return of good bands touring down here after a brief period of near nothingness, VHS Or Beta are doing some sideshows around Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney before headlining the Sydney Festival, Come Together (*cough* [...]
Danger is Back
Well he frightened me a bit with his Estelle remix which felt lazy and slightly ordinary, but the perennially masked artistically-gifted archaeologist’s son, Danger, has well and truly returned to form with these two. They are both every bit the perfect example of the quintessential French electronic sound at its very best, and at the same time [...]
Pop Levi – Potential Husband # 2
Hey Pop Levi, if things with Beck (Potential Husband # 1) and I don’t work out, we should get married. I probably won’t cook for you much, but I do know a lot about dinosaurs, and you’ll pretty much always win when we play Pro Evolution Soccer because I’m obsessed with the sliding tackle button [...]
Cheap Thrills Kills
Ok, that title’s really just a lazy way of justifying the inclusion of Fake Blood and Hervé in the same post, but you get the idea. Fake Blood is awesome, mysterious and has a highly anticipated single soon to be released on Cheap Thrills. Hervé is pseudonymous, prolific and runs the Cheap Thrills label with [...]
Lollapalooza VS Splendour
Without the second line-up announcement for Splendour having happened yet, I’d say the line-ups for Lollapalooza and Splendour in the Grass (August 1-3 and August 2-3 respectively) this year are probably going to be pretty much equal. But hey Chicago, how about we trade you Pnau for DIOYY or Bloc Party, and Wolfmother for The [...]
Alex Metric
I’m consistently surprised by the lack of attention paid to Alex Metric. Originally hailing from the fair old land of breakbeat, Metric has spent a much of the past couple of years trying to harness the power of electro-rock-breakbeat fusion, with, it must be said, a reasonable amount of success. His sound still retains the [...]
Sta Australian Tour
Canadian producer and DJ Sta is just about to drop into Australia for three massive East Coast dates. And for Melbourne Electrorash.com is bringing the party which nicely coincides with end of semester for uni (thank god). Sta is Toronto based Stu Freen, signed to Adam Freeland’s “Marine Parade” label and has done a whole [...]
It’s Like You’re Talking In French
While the title and lyrics of this great Young Lovers track suggest a breakdown in communication I find the idea of someone talking to me in French really hot. It’s not so much the language actually, it could be almost anything really – just the idea of someone chatting me up in a foreign language [...]
