Frankmusik & Baby Origami
When Carles mentioned Frankmusik a few days ago over at Hipster Runoff, I was reminded of a couple of tracks I’ve had since November which I adore, but for some reason never posted. Not sure why, maybe because when I think of Baby Origami all I see is a string of weird crumpled paper children [...]
PRESTON PARK
In the all too predictable world of electro and dance, there are people who restore my faith in progress. Preston is one, he is dark, he is mysterious and he certainly has talent. He is a one man band singing and producing under the guise Preston Park. When i first stumbled across his music via [...]
CSS Go Donkey
I must admit, I kinda missed the CSS bandwagon when it first rolled through town. Of course I was au fait with the obvious singles, and my library is peppered with any number of variable quality remixes of ‘Let’s Make Love…”, but I was never entirely convinced that there was much flesh to their albums [...]
Astrolabe
Astrolabe came to me via Asian Man Dan’s blog and I love it. The fact that it’s coming out of Japan is almost irrelevant because it would sit so well alongside music coming out on Kitsune, Moshi Moshi, Bang Gang 12″s etc. It’s not a scene specific sound but it’s the newer tracks coming out [...]
Redial Ghost EP
“Who the fuck is this kid?” was the first thing I said when I saw Redial play in Sydney a while ago. As much as this question appears to spring from disgust, it was actually out of awe, because this guy is a sharp producer. He’s had recommendations from the likes of Nicky Van She, [...]
Japan Indie and Electro
If you only read this blog you might think that the only thing that came out of the Japanese electro scene was Shinichi Osawa, Shinichi Osawa, and Shinichi Osawa. Oh and Avalon and Ray Flash. And don’t forget Narctrax! But apart from all those great people there is a bit more to to the Japanese [...]
Shadow Dancer Australian Tour
Shadow Dancer is a name that not that many people in Australia are familiar with but who has been rocking the party across Europe for a while now. The Manchester based duo are signed to Boys Noize Records whose motto is probably “the home of the banger”. Their recently released “Cowboiz” E.P. was described by [...]
Aeroplane Australian Tour
Belgium disco mavens Aeroplane are heading to Australia in August for a rash of dates including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide – sorry but no Perth dates. I first got on the Aeroplane bandwagon (and it is fast becoming a bandwagon) last year when I picked up their remix of fellow Belgium duo Das Pop’s [...]
Late of the Pier Debut LP
Sometimes in the heady world of effective human communication, my colossal laziness can get the better of me. Combine this colossal laziness with unbridled excitement and you have a recipe for appalling incoherence. Or whale noises, as my friends so zealously insist. As such, intended sentences such as, “Hanna just gave me half her apple [...]
Vintage Shinichi Osawa
It’s from 2007…. Exactly. I stumbled upon this recently and had to post it because it is (unsurprisingly) lovely. We’re all about Shinichi Osawa over here at Electrorash. The man is fantastic, and one of the only artists that Ned, Luke and I have all written about. Guess that means it’s your turn now, Duncan… [...]
South Central Get Gritty
I’ve been loosely following the boys of South Central for a while now, ever since I stumbled upon their weirdly euphoric tune ‘Revolution’ in the latter parts of last year. With it’s big beat chanting, furious high-end and messy drums, ‘Revolution’ made them sound like an updated version of XTRMNTR-era Primal Scream – all post-punk [...]
The Bag Raiders Are Back In Town!
Tomorrow night the Bag Raiders are hitting up Eurotrash for what will be another massive party. They’ve got a couple of new tracks to drop (which I’ll try to get my hands on) and there is a massive lineup including yours truly. Here is a recent remix that the guys did for Headman. Wait for [...]
Buffet Libre – 80′s Cover Project
The dudes over at Buffet Libre have put together another great project in a series of covers of great 80′s songs and an accompanying mixtape. It’s something that makes you kick yourself that you hadn’t thought of it sooner or done it yourself because there are some great results in here. There are some mediocre [...]
