Turbo Lurrrv
The dimension-bending gurus at Bang Gang 12′s have dropped a neat little slice our way.. the much anticipated Bag Raider’s ‘Turbo Love’ remix EP with nods from Shinichi Osawa, K.I.M, Flight Facilities, Light Year, Spruce Lee and Whitenoise. The original is a pile-driver (as opposed to a fun-punch.. kaaahuna!) but the talented scamps enlisted here [...]
Knightlife – Crusader
With his brand-new track, ‘Crusader,’ we can finally catch a glimpse of Knightlife’s second EP, the appropriately titled, II. Melbourne’s Cutters Records will of course be looking after this release, with more news of it to come in the following months. I’d love to gush about how nice this track is (because it is) but [...]
Jakwob
Initially I’d observed this year’s escalation of dubstep in a rather disdainful manner, but figured there was only so long I could hold out before I’d start to look like a wilful idiot. I might still look like an idiot for being so reluctant to embrace it in the first place, but at least now [...]
The Shoes Remix Golden Silvers
Acquired from the hallowed corridors of the Grindin network,* Reims’ The Shoes have given London’s I-guess-they’re-a-buzz-band-aren’t-they? Golden Silvers the remix treatment with their latest single, Arrows of Eros. It’s all tinny percussion, crunchy guitars and broken vocals, which is admittedly a little unremarkable, and yet it is fun, and The Shoes are nothing if not [...]
Jesse Rose + Zombie Disco Squad + Oliver $ = STROBE
Every time I look at the title of this blog, my mind flies back to the heady days of 2007; the year when electro first exploded into the mainstream, propelled forward on a wave of stomping house beats spliced with synth-rock and electroclash sensibilities. I remember thinking at the time how amazing it was that [...]
More Evil Nine, More!
This photo notwithstanding, I really like Evil Nine, and have done for quite a while. I was (electronically) coming of age in the nu-skool breaks scene just as their debut album ‘You Can Be Special Too’ really started making waves in late 2003, so from the get go their particular brand of stomping, rock-tinged, snare-kick [...]
The Hype Fm Relaunch
TheHype.fm have just hit the relaunch button! TheHype.fm is an online radio station with a focus on dance music from around the world. Disc jockeys include Big Stereo, Discodust, Palms Out Sounds, Red Threat and Discobelle – basically all of the Grindin crew. Electrorash have our own radio show which will be broadcast twice a [...]
Lenka
Plant Music dropped a bunch of new remixes from Lenka’s second single ‘Trouble is a Friend’ in blogger’s mailboxes around the world last night. These remixes weren’t planned for official release, but they’ve set them free anyways. And who would we be to let all that hard work go to waste… Before you get any [...]
Passion Pit
I think that when I look back at this grand music blogging adventure and start tallying up all the hits and misses of my career, the one that’s really going to sting was the time in June last year when I picked up a track called ‘Sleepyhead’ from the now defunct Good Weather for Airstrikes, [...]
Toddla T Essential Mix
Is wicked… instead of filling it full of exclusives/own productions like so many other producers do, Toddla has packed the 2 hours with the tracks he grew up with; if you’re looking for amazing mixing go somewhere else, but if you can look past a bit of chop/changing their is a hugely entertaining selection of [...]
