Low Motion Disco
Two secretive producers from Belgium, they call themselves Low Motion Disco, and a more descriptive name it would be hard to think of. As they put it: We tend to be the strange kind of party visitors. The ones that would rather stand around and watch people dance than dance themselves. It‘s not a voyeur [...]
Walter Meego Remixes By Van She + Escort
The Walter Meego remixes have been getting a trashing lately, just as they should be – all of the tracks are such great base material to work from. Here are three very different, but all amazing, remixes. The phrase “something for everybody” comes to mind. And for me the Escort remix is definitely something for [...]
Elke
So my lovely friend Jad over at Bigstereo beat me to this post last week, but since he posted Twist Oliver Twist! yesterday, i thought it would be alright to post this now anyway. Elke are from the sunny Gold Coast here in Queensland, I like it when you can draw parallels between a band [...]
The Best Song In The World Ever, Part 1
I can’t even be arsed to explain why this is the best song in the world ever, you’ll just have to listen for yourself. Find out more about DJ Mujava here. The mp3 is 128kbs, so if you came from the Hype Machine looking to drop this in your next set, sorry. Seriously though, buy [...]
Kitsuné Maison 6: The Melodic One
If you needed further proof that the aural flavour of the year is smooth and glossy disco revivalism, then the latest Maison compilation from trend-setting uber-label Kitsuné should eradicate those final doubts in a blinding burst of disco ball funk. “Aieeeeee!” you’ll say, shielding your eyes from the safari suited splendour, “where be the bangerz?”. [...]

See y’all [...]
Anoraak – Nightdrive With You Mini Album
What an amazing 180-degree flip from the hard-as-nails grimy aesthetic of last year’s electro “banger” to today’s tremendously polished disco aesthetic, which dictates that every synth be scrubbed clean until it glistens so that the vocals – wonderfully chilled from their round-trip gliding through the cosmos – can skim across each one with nary the [...]
Yuksek – I Like To Play
If internet porn wasn’t technically already, I’d say this track is the electronification of sex (don’t worry, it’s a real word). Hooray for Discodust, who finally got permission to post it so now everyone else can too. Pick up a copy of the Tonight EP on the 22nd September from Uncivilized World Ent. YUKSEK – [...]
Captain – Distraction
Wow, it’s like the second coming of Cajun Dance Party. Again a London-based quintet with an obligatory token girl member, only this time around they’ve managed to graduate from highschool… Although on closer inspection it appears as if this second coming of Cajun Dance Party actually released their debut single before the first coming did, [...]
My computer will be popular
I wish my computer was popular, then all the girls would come to my house to meet him and marvel at his large ram and hard disk. Maybe if I was lucky and pressed the right keys he could introduce me to some, a popular computer is a good friend indeed. Even without the girls [...]
TV on the Radio Return
TV on the Radio hold an odd place in my musical pantheon. Over the past few years I became, and still am so deeply enamoured with the song ‘Staring at the Sun’ that it’s made it quite hard for me to really listen properly to anything else they’ve done. Every time I tried to listen [...]
Casper C Mix
I was lucky enough to have Casper send over a mix the other day, and I figured I’d share it with you guys. You’ll probably know him from the blog-behemoth that is Fluokids or Adventures In The Beetroot Field, who’ve helped to break everyone from Klaxons to Crookers. The mix itself is definitely one for [...]
Kings of Leon – Only By the Night
Good lord, I adore this track. Kings of Leon are gearing up to release their fourth album, Only By the Night on the 23rd September. This album pleasantly surprised me by being really quite gorgeous, as I wasn’t so much into the lead single, Sex on Fire, which to be honest felt a little dated. [...]
Emergency! Emergency! – Mathletixx
If you’ve ever been out in Sydney (the good places, not the shitty ones) then chances are you’ve crossed paths with Emergency! Emergency!’s, Stephen J. Mitchell, being the nocturnal mainstay of our city that he is. Since releasing his debut EP, E!E!E!P!, earlier this year, Mitchell has been steadily working on his follow-up EP, and [...]
