Serious Music for Silly People
A couple of months ago I had a realisation: Hypem.com no long catered for my taste in electronic music. I’d known the day was coming for a while, but I didn’t want to admit it; I’d imagined it to be akin to finding out your girlfriend was cheating on you, or discovering your cat had [...]
The Shoes
Deciding on the picture was a mad toss-up between this and a pair of Electro-Wolves. DIFFICULT. The cute sad boy with nice hair may have won this time, but it probably had everything to do with my concern for Holiday Rabbit down there. Probably… It’s a happy collision of two Electrorash favourites – local boys, [...]
Holiday Favourites
I defy you to find a picture of a happier rabbit. Seriously, this shit makes me want to quit my job, say goodbye to all my friends, and become one. Then I’d move out of home and into some kickass meadow, where I’d run around all day and bite things. That grass looks delicious. Umm, [...]
New Edwin Van Cleef
This is what happens when you take a break from blogging over the holidays and sit on a few tracks for too long. The dear folks at Valerie well and truly beat you to it. And then those tracks spread all over the goddamn place, such as here and then over here. But regardless, here [...]
Russ Chimes’ esper. Mix
So I haven’t posted a mix in like, forever, but I’ve become so enamoured by this one lately that I just had to. With the likes of those DFA79, Treasure Fingers and Golden Filter remixes, Chimes’ set is like a brilliant trip through some of my favourite, ahem, blog house moments. It was made for [...]
The AC Slater
Things I know/have deduced/guessed about AC Slater: 1. He’s named after a character from Saved by the Bell, namely resident jock Albert Clifford “A.C.” Slater 2. He hangs out with previous objects of my affection, Lismore (behind which you’ll actually find an AC Slater remix of Lismore. Oh my). 3. He has a whole lot [...]
Boys Noize, D.I.M., Fred Falke – Sydney
As the perfect addition to your long weekend plans, The Music People Sydney (website coming soon) will be hosting the above three boys at the Forum on the 25th January. I’ve got my schedule locked in for Big Day Out, and it looks like I’ll be frantically galloping all over the showground with too many [...]
Et Justus Pout Tous
I was reading the new Malcom Gladwell book, Outliers, recently. It’s about how environmental factors play an important part in the success of people we commonly refer to as geniuses… whilst it hardly discredits the talents of Billy Gates et al, it’s an interesting read that suggests that the unbelievable achievements of some are perhaps [...]
