Big Day Out First Announcement
With half of Melbourne still getting over the gurn fest that was Parklife, and the rest of the country still to experience that particular brand of ecstasy, the first Big Day Out lineup has just been announced. And it’s a really mixed bag. Neil Young The Prodigy Arctic Monkeys My Morning Jacket Pendulum Bullet For [...]
Plugs Remix We Have Band
With the release of That Number back in April and Imaginary Friend this November, UK’s Plugs have been fortunate enough to have been remixed by some of the best in the business, such as London’s Heartbreak and of course, Yuksek. This time the DIOYY? frontman, Morgan Quaintance’s, other band have donned the remixing cap for [...]
Little Boots vs Richard X
Now that’s a nice-looking dress. London’s Richard X has weighed in on the increasingly potent Little Boots phenomenon with a mashup of Fake Blood’s ridiculously good remix and the classic Opus III track, It’s a Fine Day. Ordinarily I would refuse to condone a mashup, but I’ll totally make an exception for this one, because [...]
Faux Fox vs Neon Coyote
As much as I love this remix, I think the most exciting part of posting it was the opportunity to search for images of foxes and coyotes, particularly ones with the both of them hanging out in the snow together, you know, being all pointy-eared and Canidae. The above picture is of course lovely, but [...]
Tahiti 80 – Activity Center
For those of us still missing the easy-on-the-ears melodic rock of the infuriatingly likable Phoenix, the Rouen-based Tahiti 80’s newest album, Activity Center, might just be a godsend, especially since Phoenix’s most recently (unofficially) released track, Twenty-One One Zero, turned out to be so, umm, unPhoenix-like. But isn’t that a rather lazy comparison, because they’re [...]
Designer Drugs Love Mimi & Little Boots
Designer Drugs are completely on fire right now. I’m still obsessed with their Mariah Carey remix, and it’s been almost two weeks since IHEARTCOMIX originally posted it. So the fact that my blog-house-related attention span has almost made it to the two-week mark and I’m not even a little bit sick of the track (which [...]
MISSION CONTROL
Mission Control have begun to create quite the buzz recently, and for good reason, they have signed to etcetc the home of The Knife, Digitalism, PNAU, Mylo and many more. and with a song like this it’s not hard to believe,innerspace-mission-control These Melbourne Boys have the most layed back eclectic feel to them. They throw [...]
Outrun – Futurenature
Outrun signed to Inertia records have been round a little while now and I’ve seen them play 3 times and have to say that their live show is quite the spectacle. They have a keytar and it’s PORN! The vocalist’s voice is mesmerising, he doesn’t ride high notes or scream his arse off but seems to lure [...]
College in Teenage Color
Okie dokie! Its Sunday night and its late, I’m sitting on the couch with my laptop watching Dexter* but listening to College’s ‘Teenage Color’ symphony that i have been lucky enough to find in our inbox from Valerie! The juxtaposition of these bloody images on this soundtrack is a strange one to say the [...]
Landmark – Save Rock
Good lord, it’s hard to find information about Landmark. I don’t even know his real name. But what I do know is he’s Italian, and has recently released a six-track EP, Save Rock, on Tambour Records (about which I am, regrettably, just as clueless). The featured F’Myos provides some insight via his Myspace page, but [...]
Cut Copy & Yuksek Remix Kaiser Chiefs
When it comes to having your track remixed, it doesn’t get much better than Cut Copy and Yuksek. This is one of those times when you sort of have to admit to really only having an interest in the remixee because of the remixers. Kaiser Chiefs – Never Miss A Beat (Cut Copy Remix) Kaiser [...]
Fromage Disco Edits
Fromage is a collective of Melbourne musicians and DJ’s who were into disco the first time round and never got over it. They were into disco when it was cool to be into disco and they were still into it when it was very uncool to be into disco. Now things have come full circle [...]
Edwin Van Cleef Remixes DatA’s Rapture
I have a confession to make, and it’s a fairly appalling one. After having spent a good number of years being raised by a very religious family (as opposed to a pack of wolves; sled dogs; or even just a very secular family), it was not until I was discussing The Rapture: the band, with [...]
DW
All the way from Scandanavia-Sweden we have DW , some more of this space disco that seems to be all over the net at the moment. It can be done very badly, fortunately i managed to be saved by these two creatives. Not only do they make great music they do some seriously good artwork [...]
