Soldout – Cuts
Yet another of those bands that are so brilliant I sort of feel like I should have known about them ages ago. I need to fire some of my staff. I can get my own damn cookies. Soldout are Cassandra and David, a couple of tremendously nice-looking Belgians who have just released their sophomore album, [...]
Julien Milan Remixes
We haven’t mentioned anyone from the Bordeaux electro circle here for a while, so I guess that means it’s time to visit one of my favourites, who for some reason I haven’t posted about before, Julien Milan. The 25-year-old Bordeaux native made his live debut four years ago in London, and last year signed to [...]
Simian Mobile Disco Vs Deerhunter
I just couldn’t go to sleep without posting this: Deerhunter’s gorgeous collective drones paired with Cox’s tense, off-kilter vocals; Simian Mobile Disco’s catchy dance-funk bassline; and a couple of albino deer with pretty hooves thrown in for good measure. Surely a tiny cluster of some of my favourite things. Deerhunter – Octet (Simian Mobile Disco [...]
Hot Hot Summer..
This new track from the finalist of Australia’s last season of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ hits the airwaves today. His name is Rhys, the song is called Hot Summer, and I apologise in advancing for upsetting everybody when you hear it every single day as the music synch to Channel [...]
Pegase
Valerie’s latest recruit is France’s Raphaël D’Hervez aka Pegase, the artist whose work has arguably proceeded his name as the vocalist for the wonderful Minitel Rose. On his own he of course has that signature low-key, ethereal Valerie sound, which is perfect material to fall asleep to (a compliment, not a criticism), but it’s his [...]
Shinichi Osawa – Last Days Video
Shinichi Osawa‘s Last Days is a great mix between sweet, melodic guitar and distorted, driving bass – and the video is no different. Using animated ink drawings the video starts off with blotter paper but turns into repetitive, interacting characters. Like almost all of the videos we’ve been featuring over the last few weeks you [...]
Desmond and The Tutu’s
Since i haven’t posted for quite some time, i thought i better have something well worth the wait,(not that you were waiting for me to post or anything.) Desmond and The Tutu’s are one hot little act indeed. Besides having one of the best band names i have ever heard, they also fuse contemporary native [...]
Shazam Remixes The Tough Alliance
Now then, my raggedy subjects, I think we can all agree that this here is one ridiculously spiffing tower. I could quite easily fit a billion of my very expensive horses inside it, plus a good number of those little goaty things that are always lying about my stables, eating sandals and what have you. [...]
The Last Dinosaurs
No guys sorry to disappoint but this is not the latest straight to video release of ‘The Land Before Time’ series, although who wouldn’t want to hear about the latest adventures of little foot and the gang. I guess he would be Big Foot by now and have a family of his own. I just [...]
Club Action Redux
Remember Yo Majesty’s Club Action? Remember how for a while there in early 2007 you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing the Bag Raiders’ Enya-laden edit of the track played at least twice per evening? Remember how nary a week went by without another remix of the track dropping all over the blogs? Yeah? You remember [...]
Miami Horror
Channeling Giorgio Moroder and almost every film clip from the 80′s Miami Horror has just released the video for “Don’t Be On With Her” off of his debut e.p, which is being released tomorrow. Miami Horror – Don’t Be On With Her (Official Music Video) from Moop Jaw on Vimeo. The clip is also the [...]
A Very Justice NYE
Our friends over at Industreate are running a fucking awesome competition that could have two lucky readers spending New Years Eve in close quarters with Justice and So-Me in Chicago! Holy shit! Justice – A Cross The Universe – Trailer from INDUSTREATE on Vimeo. All you have to do is tell us what you did [...]
Deekline and Ed Solo (but mostly Deekline… oh, and Tittsworth)
Truth be told, I’ve been looking for an excuse to do a post on breaks (and more) supremo DJ Deekline for quite some time. Although I feel a little weird talking about Deekline in the singular, because as long as I’ve been aware of his existence, he’s always been tied in with somebody else. First [...]
Simply…
