Space in the Woods Remix Redux

Written by luke. Filed under Release, Remix. 5 Comments.
Back in October, Bec blogged no less than 8 separate remixes of Late of the Pier’s ‘Space in the Woods’ in a single post. One would have thought that possibly, just possibly, that may have been sufficient. But today I am here to declare ‘NAY, ‘TIS NOT!’ (because occasionally I turn into a sixteenth century [...]

ACID JACKS bring the awesome back to Eurotrash this Saturday night. Renowned for free-wheeling party sets, Acid Jacks are Boris the Spider aka Bing Bong (Turbo) & Honeysmack aka Honeysmack (DJ). Acid Jacks are also apparently known as “Turbo & DJ” but only when they time travel. $10 on the door, 2 floors with 1928, La Mode, [...]

Can the Presets lay down an edit over the top of this? Or maybe someone could make a mashup of this with My People or Steamworks or something? Cut Copy – Hearts On Fire (Midnight Juggernauts remix) xox ned

So Much Lykke

Written by luke. Filed under Release, Remix, Short Post. 1 Comment.
I was vaguely tempted to handball this across to Ned in the vain hope that I might not look quite so stalker-ish by writing two posts on the same woman in one calendar fortnight… But hey it is Lykke Li. And anyway, I can totally justify it on the grounds that it’s more about Fred [...]

In Digital Form Again

The other morning I was in the shower, thinking about how to begin this post, hoping that water = creativity, when I looked out the window to see a kookaburra land on a branch just outside. This kookaburra spontaneously multiplied itself by six just moments later and they all sat in a row, silently staring [...]

Happy Mothers Day

It’s Mothers Day today and I officially lose at Mothers Day. Every year it is pretty much the same, I either forget a present or I forget a card and have to do some kind of last minute thing that is always soooo obvious it was last minute. Like last year when I didn’t have [...]

Bagraiders Remix Galvatrons

Which ones your favourite?
Sometime last year, I think around October, a whole bunch of people started raving on to me about the Galvatrons and telling me to go see their shows. Apparently they were packing out and just playing a really solid live show. A month later they signed to Warner Music and have been on the go [...]

Supermayer Go Acoustic (Sort Of…)

Written by luke. Filed under Remix, Short Post. 1 Comment.
Not that I thought I’d see myself doing requests, but my interest was piqued when I received an email asking about minimal mega-teamSupermayer’s remix of the seemingly everywhere ‘Heart’s a Mess’ by Melbourne’s Gotye (the exceptional Ocelot remix of which has been previously profiled here). A little bit of exploration later and I discover not [...]

Violens’ Frontman Remixes MGMT

I wouldn’t normally post a MGMT track, because they’ve received quite enough hype already, (albeit deservedly) but this remix was too good to resist. Jorge Elbrecht has really outdone himself with this one. The thing I find so charming about MGMT is their ability to combine whimsical innocence and amicable sarcasm, alternating them beautifully through [...]

Shoes Shoes Shoes Shoes

Written by luke. Filed under Release, Remix. 3 Comments.
I already displayed my wealth of love for French electro wonder-kids The Shoes back in March, but recently the remixes have been flowing out so thick and fast, and their touring schedule expanding at such a prodigious rate that it seemed only fitting to revisit G and B Shoe and give you all a taste [...]

So the world’s sexiest scientologist (pipe down, Tom Cruise, no one thinks it’s you) Beck Hansen, is rumoured to be releasing his new album in the next four to six weeks. And oh my god, four to six weeks is hardly enough time to prepare for my brain to explode with all the anticipatory excitement, [...]

“Australia’s Number One DJ” Ajax has started up his own record label called Sweat It Out. As part of the launch he invited select media along to an inner city gay bar steam house to tell the world about the first release – a mixtape by the imaginative name of Sweat It Out Volume 1. [...]

Ghostwood

Ghostwood Flyer
When Ghostwood got signed to Modular I wondered about the direction the indie/electro label was trying to go in. They started with Ben Lee and at the time their most recent signing was Van She from memory and Ghostwood didn’t really fit the mould. But the band have held on and I am personally glad [...]

Dandi Wind, Marry Me

Following Nek’s and Luke’s lead in the search for a potential wife, I’ve found mine in the tiny firecracker that is Dandilion Wind Opaine Schlase. If I happened to be a boy. Who happened to like girls. For now she’ll just have to be the subject of my very massive girl-crush. Dandi doesn’t really have [...]
