Aeons
More unsigned electro joy from Sydney! Aeons are two young fellows of musical temperament who have recently shunned the rampant alcoholism and questionable odours of Sydney’s alternative band scene. Ignoring my warning about the impending global electro recession, they’ve traded in guitars for some shiny new synths and software oscillators. Or maybe they kept the [...]

Fagget Fairys Remixed

feed the horse
Music For Dreams, the record label run by the Palms Out Records signee, Kenneth Bager, is set to release the affianced Danish duo, Fagget Fairys’, debut LP tomorrow. “Feed the Horse,” which features the sold-out lead single of the same title, is a darkly sassy, eastern-vibey saunter through the sexy world of bilingual lesbiancore, with [...]

London’s new dance-pop three-piece, CHEW LiPS, are looking to join the bourgeoning ranks of acts with strong female leads such as La Roux, Little Boots and Marina & the Diamonds. Frontwoman, Tigs, had a fairly unsuccessful solo career a couple of years back, releasing a debut album, Cut With Fire, which did little to rescue [...]

The Dukes of Windsor are running a remix competition for their latest single “Runaway“. The orginal is a good track but they definitely need something for the DJ’s. The comp is supported by Nova radio , Electrorash.com and Raewondo DJ servicing so the winner and select runners up will get widespread exposure – and maybe [...]

Scion A/V + Discobelle + Everyone = Heap Good

Written by luke. Filed under Mix Tape, Release. No comments.
Scion A/V really get it, you know? At a time when many of the labels that have emerged from blogs are becoming ever more protective of their music and artists, and music blogs themselves seem at risk of becoming second rate PR adjuncts (just as a side point, labels: I will NEVER post a sampler [...]

Punks Jump Up are in Australia at the moment embarking on their first tour for music and their second for pleasure. I was lucky enough to get Dave out of bed to have a chat about what they’ve been working on, their fusion of fashion and music and what they’re plotting this time around. So [...]

This has been sitting in my draft posts for nearly a month now, I will stop my procrastinating. Elke, oh what soft sweet sound doth thou produce!  It just keep getting better from these guys, they are becoming a force to be reckoned with; “Mess with the Elke, you get the horns”, don’t rule it [...]

I know what you’re thinking: “Good lord, another Digitalism remix? No one needs that shit filling up their hard drive,” and ordinarily I’d be right there with you, but this one is actually pretty great. Unknown to most of us before his high-energy Tigersapien and Kickdrums remixes appeared on Missing Toof and elsewhere a few [...]

The Vanish

Written by mandu. Filed under what?. 14 Comments.
There’s something wrong with Australian electro. It all sounds so predictable, so prosaic but still, somehow, oh-so-good.  Such is the case with my hot tip for 2009 blog domination. The Vanish straddle the gap between Grafton Primary’s bright posturing and the Midnight Juggernauts’ dusky theatrics.. all wrapped up in a “Cold Youth” t-shirt. The Vanish [...]

Local Natives

local natives
This is what it takes to snap out of the uninspired stupor I’ve been in of late. LA-based five-piece, Local Natives, have just let slip another track from their upcoming debut album, Gorilla Manor. Combining elegant three-part harmonies with clever rollicking percussion and some almost cripplingly-good melodies, this unsigned instrument-swapping folk-pop outfit should expect a [...]

Danish label ‘Music For Dreams’ have hit us with a batch of baked goods cooked to perfection.  I have a sweet tooth today so I’ll be greedy and give you two posts for one. Whats that you say?  Hess please?  Yes yes pardon my lamest of lame puns, they are insufferable.  Hess is More is [...]

Loud Noises!

the E.L.F.
I haven’t listened to anything very noisy for a while now, but boy this gives me a happy feeling in the pants area!  Partly new but mostly old gold glow stick frequencies in this Acid Jacks remix of Santa’s least favorite little helper, the E.L.F. To paint you a picture, I hurt my ear the [...]

LOVELOCK ONCE MORE

You may remember this post of Lovelock. I brought this man to your attention some time ago. Some of you were compelled to write in saying how much you loved this guy, well its time to bring it once more!!! This track is reminiscent of something you would hear at a Bon Jovi concert 20 [...]

Jackson Jackon

Written by mandu. Filed under what?. 7 Comments.
  What happens when a band that you hate start a side project. Well, by default, you hate it. Such was the case with Jackson Jackson, comprised of the most annoying guy from Australian festival sluts The Cat Empire and some other guy.  Well.. I must admit ‘All Alone‘, the first single from their album [...]
