No Sense in Moderat(ion)

Friday, May 29, 2009

I have no end of love for German electronica maestros Modeselektor, and am at least moderately fond of German minimal/IDM don Apparat, so when I heard that they were rekindling their German collaborative project Moderat (geddit? It’s a portmanteau!) I was very, very excited. So excited that I may have actually fallen off my chair. [...]

Turbo Lurrrv

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

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

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

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

The Shoes Remix Golden Silvers

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

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

Monday, May 18, 2009

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!

Thursday, May 14, 2009

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 [...]
