The Spirits
I went to see my brother’s band, The Detours, play at the Art Factory a couple of weeks ago, and was fortunate enough to catch unsigned FBi darlings,The Spirits’ opening set. I spent the entire time making the fairly obvious statement to everyone that, “Shit. These guys are awesome (and I’m getting another wine).” Formerly [...]
Metronomy – I’ve Got My Mind Made Up Video
A Thing For Me from Metronomy on Vimeo. Too cute and then too funny.
Metronomy + Architecture In Helsinki
With all the festival madness going on at the moment I’ve managed to avoid most of the hype and focus on a few key acts I wanted to see. For December it was Whitest Boy Alive who I saw at Nevereverland on Sunday and it was incredible. For January I’ll be checking out Lykke Li [...]
Faux Fox Remixed
Shit, guys, so now do you believe me that we’re not the only goddamn gigantors in this town? Good. Now look, these townspeople, I don’t think they’re all there. They seem to enjoy breaking giant things. Like us. Not convinced? Well, tell that to Gigantor Bell over there. Oh wait, you can’t, because part of [...]
More Delorean, MORE!
Ah, more sun-drenched glory from Barcelona’s favourite 80s car themed electro-rock band, Delorean. You may remember me rapturously talking about them in this post. Oh, and this one too. They really are very good. And now they’ve issued another remix and, by my count, that makes it four stonking remixes in this year alone (The [...]
Anoraak’s Christmas Remix
This Christmas, I think I want a couple of pheasants, please. They could live on my balcony, eat corn and snails and things, and they’d be mine. I suppose this remix was always going to happen (for the obvious reasons) and it is, not surprisingly, terribly sweet. Head over to Valerie’s site for details on [...]
Fear of Tigers Round 2 – Pacific Island Piglets
I recently returned from a holiday away, i ventured to a Pacific Island that was full of smiling people and baby pigs. I have traveled before and it seems as though each time i do, it sends my thoughts off into new directions and it gets me thinking. Why is it that people with half [...]
THIS/Is.
It’s always pretty embarrassing when someone from overseas discovers an act from your country (and your city no less), before you’ve even heard of them, but that was the case with THIS/Is. Of course, I suppose if it had to happen, I’m glad it was Aleks from Discodust who did it. THIS/Is are a Sydney-based [...]
Morning Life
I have just woken up and haven’t even had my jam on toast yet, but the boy wonder Knightlife has dropped a free jam on the non-spreadable variety over at his myspace blog with the news that his second 12″ will be released in the first quarter of 2009 on Cutters Records. The name of [...]
Super mal
So French Records dropped off a very underwhelming promo pack of remixes by one of their acts ‘Freshlovers’. However I did enjoy the last track from the pack which was the Super mal remix. Freshlovers – Beverly Hills Chase (Super mal Remix) -christen
Your Name – Your Track (Shinichi Osawa remix)
Well this is a remix competition with a difference. The normal process is an artist releases all the parts for one of their better tracks and all the blog house producers of the world chop the shit out of it with, let’s face it, generally sub-par results. As a slight change of pace Southern Fried [...]
Electrorash Survey 2008 – Win Tickets to Good Vibrations!
Hey all, Well we’ve been bloggin for a year and a half now which is actually a really long time. We’ve had ups and plenty of downs (damn you Dreamhost!) and now we’re working towards ramping everything up with a new design. We’ve also signed up to an advertising network called Mr Chop who have [...]
Triobelisk EP: 1
I don’t know what a zoneplex is, but apparently Triobelisk is the mysterion of it. I don’t even really know what a mysterion is either, and I’ll admit that a little more apologetically because I think it’s actually a real word. My own short-fallings aside, Triobelisk has just released his second EP, the deceptively titled [...]
Worship
Now this may be a bit of blatant Blog piracy, but thanks must go out to Discodust for this gem. Taken from Worship’s mini opera ‘The Dome parts I/II & III’ the opening sequence titled ‘Underwater (part I)’ has my ears melting from fade in to fade out. This track is all about those wonderful [...]
