The Subs – Subculture
Belgian “punktrance” trio, The Subs, have just released their debut album, Subculture, today, and as inaccessible as the above bastardised genre might seem in any environment that isn’t largely club-related, it’s actually a fantastic listen on its own merit, ie I’m barely awake because it’s late and it’s a Monday night, but I somehow still [...]
Meet me in the cave
Darren Cross AKA The E.L.F. dropped this in our inbox over the weekend, if you don’t know his story i think you must have been hiding under a rock for the past 10 or so years! But here it is for all your rock dwellers, ex-one third of seminal Australian indie-electronic pioneers Gerling. Darren has [...]
Dmerit Remix The Gay Blades
Ghost: Yeah, look guys, I get it, you need those heads because without them you won’t have any eyes, which makes invading the surface of the moon very difficult, but you’re going to have to give my one back. I don’t want to have to haunt whichever one of you assholes has it for the [...]
Freq Nasty
In this age of ephemeral hype monsters and talent-free knock offs it’s refreshing to be reminded that artists like Freq Nasty still dot the landscape of electronic music. For those not in the know, Freq Nasty a.k.a. Darin MacFayden (which is really just proof that the name ‘Darin’ or one of its many variants need [...]
Holy Shit!
…is exactly what I said when I heard this announcement for the second edition of Nevereverland, the festival last year headlined by Daft Punk. When I heard the festival was coming back again I was kind of surprised. Surely you can’t beat Daft Punk, why do it again? Even though this festival isn’t quite Daft [...]

Van She – Kelly Reissue
In a shrewd move by Modular Van She are re-releasing their best track to date Kelly with a stack of remixes. When I first heard about this I thought it was a pretty cynical thing to do for a company who’ve had a few losses over the last couple of years. It’s a great track [...]
Melbourne’s 1928 Remixes BMX
I was fifteen when I discovered that despite what they say, you really can forget how to ride a bike after several years of very little practice. I had attempted to make my way to a friend’s yoga class after school one day on her BMX upon her insistence that it would be far easier [...]
More Rogue Element, More!
I really like The Rogue Element. Like, I mean I REALLY like him. Like, if I told him exactly how much I liked him, it might, like, get really weird. Especially if I went to his house and told him to his face. As that would mean I probably flew all the way to the [...]
Esau Mwamwaya + Radioclit are ‘The Very Best’
In one of my first posts I wrote about a guy called Esau Mwamwaya, a Malawian singer whose chance encounter with one of Radioclit turned into a musical adventure taking in all bongo-bothering things that Radioclit are known for plus a bit more on the side. Whilst an album is on the way, in the [...]
Love is All is Love
Finally! It’s coming! The album is coming! No more of these desperate sounding posts, where I frantically try to scrub up every last skerrick of Love is All related soundbites. The album is coming! Sure it’s a few months late, but when it sounds this good, who really gives a shit? The new album is [...]
