Nile Delta and The Lost Valentino’s
Who is Nile Delta? It is an Australian producer who made headlines in the music world with a dance track that made kids pick up chairs and throw them at windows, (yes i was present). The last few months i would often finish a mouthful of Weetbix and wonder what ever happened to this guy? [...]
Be happy
Chin up guys! He’s in a better place. This song will make you grin from Ear-2-Ear, like Boyz-2-Men if they lived on either side of your head. Thanks Sidechains, thanks Booty Love (check out Diamond Cut’s remix of the same track) whoever yo clichéd ass is and thanks MJ. Go dance the night away. It’s [...]
Crystal Fighters
The Xtatic Truth EP has landed, featuring a veritable grab bag of chopped up cockney inspired electro-fusion. I’m not a huge fan of the original, and the Xtra Loud remix pretty much ruined the flow of the latest Kitsune Maison comp for me. Can’t play it in the office because of that one. But, thanks [...]
Starks & Nacey
Washington party starters Starks & Nacey have released a cheeky little EP off the back of their hugely successful Nouveau Riche nights. Not that I’ve ever been or intend on going to said night but that’s what the email said, and in my experience the only thing more trustworthy than an email is a man [...]
James Rutledge
Nice new remix from everyone’s fave electro-tripster James Rutledge.. this has been slogged around a bit already but if you don’t have it, grab it now. Don’t argue, it’s better than the Tiga one. Fever Ray – Triangle Walks (James Rutledge Remix) More importantly, however, Mr Rutledge has been busy with some other projects, Vowels [...]
DCUP
Strapping Sydney lad DCUP is a blog-o-sphere regular these days, making cracking electro/disco that’s perfect for y’all who are finding it hard to digest Terje without a chaser of Lifelike, much like Bec’s cat who finds it hard to digest pretty much everything except the raw hatred I pile upon him everyday. DCUP threw a [...]
Marina
Huge props to the indefatigable Derek of Neon Gold Records for hooking us up with this slice from Marina and The Diamonds. Her EP dropped recently, it’s called ‘The Crown Jewels’ and features the single ‘I Am Not A Robot’ which is a good thing to know and also a good song. Here’s a couple [...]
New Diamond Cut
Electrorash favourite, Diamond Cut, has very kindly taken time out of his crazy schedule to send us his latest remix, that of British pop duo, Booty Luv’s new single, “Say It.” Dude has totally straightened out the rather textbook original with his driving bassline and those eternally lovely synths that I’ll probably never grow weary [...]
Bulletproof Gets Heavy
I think one of the best things about the rapid ascendance of this current crop of electro-pop songstresses (see Boots, Little, Goulding, Ellie, The Diamonds, Marina and) is that they are, to a person, proving to be ripe, varied and exciting remix subjects. And we’re not talking just the straight up space disco/electro-house rewrites either; [...]
Third time lucky?
Duran Duran did it back in 1998 with Night Versions. Soulwax did the same in 2005 with their own Nite Versions. It is 2009 and Van She have ‘reworked’ their debut album, V, into Ze Vemixes. ‘Reworked’ is the word because Ze Vemixes doesn’t sound like the Van She Tech remixes that went out with [...]
