Bertie Blackman + Shazam + Calling in Sick = Electrorash Exclusive

Written by luke. Posted on November 30, 2009. Filed under what?. 7 Comments.
It’s been a big few weeks for Bertie Blackman. First she won Breakthrough Independent Artist of the Year at the Australian Independent Record Label Association Awards (a.k.a. the acronym defying ‘AIR Awards’. It’s sponsored by Jagermeister. Perhaps they just forgot some of their name). Then she won Best Independent Release at the Australian Recording Industry [...]

Was feeling a bit blue post-Aria’s, but then iTunes randomly saved the day.. Salvation was in the muffled form of Brooklyn-bred lo fi rockers Small Black. Perfect tunes for reminiscing about holiday romances that never actually took place, and long walks on the beach that were quite short and didn’t take place on or near [...]

You’ve got your National Heart Foundation tick, your Star Energy ratings and Brand Power infomercials for everyday goods and services – but if you’re looking for the definitive seal of cool in today’s hipster music market, production credits featuring the Dewaele brothers are right up there with a Pitchfork thumbs-up or CRLS feature. You’ll know [...]

So Yeezy loves him, so does big Pav. This dude’s got serious backing.. and (fortunately) has serious talent to back up the hype. I wonder if he’s french. Boulet looks french. Check out the amazing video for his first single ‘A Community Service Announcement’ right here… it’s very, very good. But I don’t get the [...]

Mr Tigers has been slogging his way through a debut release for the past 6 months – ‘Cossus Snufsigalonica’ is out on December 1st. He’ll be giving it away FOR FREE. That’s right – 4 FrEeE! And not free as in ‘here’s a track in exchange for your email address which we’ll then sell on [...]

We gave this track a plug a couple weeks ago and, finally, here it is in all its commission-flat-electro-pop glory – the little sister of that deadly Starry Eyed remix (which Starsmith hates so much): Ellie Goulding – Under The Sheets (Jakwob Remix) And, appropriately, another Jakwob cut landed on the front lawn of Electrorash [...]

Spanish cockney-ravers (best i can do right now) Crystal Fighters have a new single out and about soon called I Love London, which, apart from being the most original sentiment pressed to vinyl, is a damn good slice of early Bonjay-style lofi rave rap. But with less of that ‘look at my vagine’ stuff that [...]

When Electrorash really like someone it’s pretty obvious isn’t it. Without doubt one of my favourite pop tracks of this year Ellie Goulding’s ‘Under The Sheets’ has FINALLY copped an official release. First up from Pariah comes this moody drum and bass trip.. This man’s capacity to couple a moving vocal melody AND your staple [...]

Fuck Buttons

Oh this is so good. This is so, so, so good. I’ll admit that I had wilfully avoided Fuck Buttons up to this point, partially due to the decidedly average name, and partially due to the fact that the entire idea of ‘noise’ as a genre makes me break out in hives. It’s kinda like [...]
