Pegase Remixes Empire Of The Sun
The delightful Raphael D’Hervez, better know as Valerie’s Pegase, has kindly decided to share with us his first ever remix, taking on Empire Of The Sun’s “Walking on a Dream,” presumably for all of its bright-eyed whimsy and laidback flair. The result is characteristically pretty, D’Hervez’s synthwork simultaneously skipping over the surface of the chorus [...]
Anoraak
Our friends at Bandroom Records are grabbing the electro zeitgeist by the balls and running it right across the wide, hot expanse of Australia. The prolific Valerie pin-up boys, Anoraak and College, are doing a tour of One Love club nights across Australia. What does this mean? It means hurry up and buy a Valerie [...]
Metronomy Vs Blackout Crew
If live in the UK, this probably means something to you. If you don’t, it probably doesn’t. Whatever the case may be, Metronomy have been remixed by Blackout Crew. There are other mixes from Sinden et al, but this is easily the best. Maybe. This is the good shit. xx
El Guincho Sydney Ticket Deal
It’s a sad state of affairs indeed when an act as lovely as Barcelona’s Pablo Díaz-Reixa aka El Guincho, has to sell his already fairly cheap tickets at 2 for the price of 1 just days before his Sydney show at the Oxford Art Factory. His debut album, Alegranza, was one of the most charming [...]
BMX- Anywhere But Home
Take your Bmx and go ride it somewhere else!!, somewhere other than home. I’m sick of it!!! Go take your BMX and get me some Salami from Safeway. Pick me up a Paddle pop and don’t “lick it” on the way home. And for God’s sake don’t ride your bike through the church, remember what [...]
Jokers Of The Scene Remix The Subs
Belgian trio, The Subs, are set to release My Punk as the second single from their debut album, Subculture, (which you can read about here) in a couple of weeks’ time, and it will feature a reciprocal remix from Alex Gopher, and one from Ottowa duo, Jokers Of The Scene. Judging from the remixes preview [...]
Shinich Osawa – Push
Shincihi Osawa keeps pumping out the tracks – this time with a 12″ of Push off of The One. The track features Frances answer to Mickey Avalon, electro singer Ania whose myspace you should definitely check out here. The One finally get’s released in the UK today the 26th of January with this 12″ coming [...]
The New Year
It’s taken me a while to get back into it but here I am, sucked out of a blog-free existence thanks to a couple of tracks from my personal favourites, La Mode. I’ve raved on about these guys a fair bit in the past both here at electrorash and irl. Bec even did a post [...]
Peter Björn & John Remixed
All of a sudden we have two brilliant new Peter Björn & John remixes that came as if from nowhere. The reason for their appearance presumably being to build some degree of hype prior to the release of their upcoming third album, Living Thing, which is set to follow their lukewarmly-received sophomore album, Seaside Rock. [...]
Part II
Very lamely, I just got this from inthemix.com.au. Even more lamely, I don’t even have a copy of Part I. But totally less lamely and a thousand times more awesomely is the sequel to Damn Arms ‘Destination Part I’. You can’t deny the joyous affect of the sounds Yama and Tim have collected here for [...]
All The Small Things…
I couldn’t decide on something to do a long post about, so I thought I’d give a run down of little things that you can go find out more about yourself: 1) R.I.P The End. (Photo above, courtesy of Nicole at Popscene.nl) 2) Herve has done a rather good dubsteppy mix of the new Lily [...]
No Music
I haven’t posted in ages, and I have no music to share with any of you. But I had a really great time yesterday dancing to Holy Ghost! at the Gold Coast Big Day Out. Aren’t you glad you now know this? -christen
We Are The People
Empire of the Sun’s second single ‘We Are The People’ now has a filmclip. Shot on location in Mexico, it’s sticking to that hyper-saturated, shiny-boy style. Pretty cool clip, pretty cool song. On a side note I saw Nick Littleworth get out of a cab the other day and he held up the traffic trying [...]
<3 Prog
Yeah i know it’s un-hip and even more un-hop, but, booiieeee, i love prog. Not that old prog, which mainly consisted of Sasha furiously masturbating a repetitive bassline towards a monumentally predictable climax..i’m talking about new prog. Prog which make you smile from ear to ear and reminds you of beach parties, holidaying on a [...]
