Dandi Wind – Yolk of the Golden Egg
When a friend of mine was looking through my records last week, he came to a halt when he arrived at the Dandi Wind Sleeping Beauty 7”, which features a bathing-suit-clad-but-certainly-not-tacky Dandi on the front cover, and a nuggety yet sweet-looking dog on the back. Needless to say he didn’t share my fantasy of folicing [...]
LOVELOCK
This man hails out of New York and makes incredible dreamy synth pop. By dreamy i don’t mean slow and boring. It holds your attention by creating a mood that is reserved but leaves the listener expecting a big lift and that is exactly what we get. Burning Feeling is a great reflection of this: [...]
While My MacBook Was Being Repaired…
…My Myspace profile song hit the blogs. And as for my Mac: Getting a new keyboard installed free of charge = Good. Losing my Heartsrevolution stickers that were on the old keyboard = Bad. Being able to use the a, ! and delete keys again = Awesome. M83 – Kim and Jessie (DatA Remix) - [...]
New Ed Banger Signing – Mickey Moonlight
Earlier this month Ed Banger announced a new signing and it looks like it’s going to be a shift away from the traditional bangers that they’ve become known for. Thank god for Mickey Moonlight. Mickey Moonlight was formely known as Midnight Mike so it’s fair to assume that his first name is Michael. Under the [...]
Shinichi Osawa Is So Awesome He Makes My Face Want To Melt With Joy
Big words perhaps, but seriously, have you heard this guy? Electrorash has been riding the Shinichi bandwagon pretty hard for a while now (in a previous post, I may or may not have referred to him as ‘god’), but Osawa productions have been few and far between over the last few months and the entire [...]
BMX
These BMX cats hail out of Brisbane and make music that you could sit out in the sun all day and listen too. It’s fun, it’s raw and so popfresh I smile every time I listen to it. Turning heads these peeps will be pulling dirty mono’s (LIVE) at the Van She Lickit Party in [...]
Midnight Juggernauts Remix CSS
We’re having a bit of a Juggernauts love-in over here, but that’s nothing new. I’m still getting over the fact that this remix actually exists. I don’t know how Sylvaïn of DiscoattacK fame does it, but he gets the best tracks ever. I hope I get to dance to this at least one time this [...]
The Rascals – Rascalize
Well it’s set to be released internationally tomorrow, but The Rascals’ Rascalize was leaked about a month ago and it’s been oozing all over the place ever since. Not that that’s such a terrible thing (ok, maybe for Deltasonic Records it is), because I really do enjoy it, although I’m not so sure I should [...]
Midnight Juggernauts Acoustopia
It might be this hangover talking but this acoustic version of Road To Recovery by the Midnight Juggernauts is so fucking beautiful man. Midnight Juggernauts – Road To Recovery (Acoustopia)
Electrorash held hostage in Berlin
Ja! Electrorash is running amok in Berlin this weekend and very much looking forward to seeing Scottish sub-sonic-doom-raver HOSTAGE tonight at Birthday Party. It’s hosted by DJ Donna ‘Kebab’ Summer and features pretty boys and girls + a metric fucktonne of confetti. Electrorash will be there to bust it out mid-summer style, so pop down [...]
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee is another amazing DJ and producer from Melbourne. I first saw him a few years ago at the Rosemount hotel in Perth where he played with DMC champion Dexter and Dexter’s brother Kuya. It was a pretty awesome show. Now that I’m living east side I can catch him a couple of times a [...]
ROSCOE
Sometimes not very often, but sometimes you hear a song and it will completely take you by storm, you don’t know why, you don’t know how. It’s almost as if tapped into your subconscious and linked in with memories in your past, or your imagination took the music for a ride in your head. Either [...]
The Rogue Element
I’m pretty sure The Rogue Element was the subject of my very first post for this fine blog, all the way back in November. Well, I assure you that my love has waned naught in the interim, even if he hasn’t put out a wealth of new material over the last six months. More excitingly [...]
Institubes in Sydney
Next Friday night the crew from Institubes will be playing at one of my favourite places in the world – The Oxford Art Factory. The aptly named Institubes Paris Terror Club, which features Surkin’s scruffier adopted little brother, Bobmo, plus DJ Orgasmic, and Alex J. Murphy aka Das Glow, will be finishing up their one-week [...]
