Jamtech Foundation
Discobelle bro’s drop their new EP by Jamtech Foundation. It’s big. Grab the original track: Jamtech Foundation – Too Fast Then jump over to BeatPort and grab the full pack, which features ZDS, Camel and (my personal fave) Julio Bashmore, Dirty Bird’s new hypno-techno signing. Technooooooooos! Another little thing dropped our way a couple days [...]
Coin Laundry vs 360
Australian hip-to-the-hopper (and new EMI signing) 360 has made an oddly satisfying booty of Lisa Mitchell’s hit ‘Coin Laundry’ Lisa Mitchell + 360 – Do You Have A Dollar (Coin Laundry) Bit of different spin on, erm, the ‘themes’ of the original but interesting none the less. What do y’all think about hip-hoppers making mad [...]
M’Black and DC
HOLY SHIT. M’Black – Heartbreak (Diamond Cut Remix) New project from the lad behind The Drill (a leading purveyor of classic and authentic B@ng0r), remixed by the one and only DC. Check out the full release here. And here’s an unreleased edit of a Diamond Cut oldy (but goody), just for the ‘exclusive blogger’ points. [...]
Rainbow Arabia
I have been meaning to write a post about Rainbow Arabia for quite some time. And now I am. Good lord, what a redundant opening. Not really sure what has precipitated my finally getting around to it; the initial oversight was perhaps more a symptom of having fallen off the music blogging bandwagon than anything [...]
Former Child Stars
Another smashing remix from my favourite Sydney band/Brit-pop tribute act Former Child Stars. It’s by a new bloke called Alexander Holland. Not ground-breaking, but for a first stab at disco-howse from a confessed ex-drum and bass nut – it’s really, really nice. Former Child Stars – Control (Alexander Holland Remix)
MGMT Album stream
You’ve heard the new single already, maybe if you were unlucky/early to the party, you had to relinquish an email address in exchange for said seed-single. Was it a fair swap? I’m going with no at this point… But what does the new album hold apart from creepy Flaming Lips-masturbating-the-Beatles-at-an-art-school-poetry-jam style prog-pop? Some how, old [...]
DJ JEAN
It’s TEH NU DUTCH SHUFFLE! Dj Jean – New Dutch Shuffle (128kbs) Personally I prefer the old dutch shuffle. Which Dutch Shuffle is your favourite shuffle? -Mandu
Pure Ecstasy
A new single is prepped to casually waft its way from the neon-gilded chimneys of the Acephale A&R plant to your ears on March 23rd, this time featuring Austin-based dream rockers Pure Ecstasy. Conveniently, they live in Austin meaning they can go to SxSW, unlike myself who can barely afford to go to Safeway. 17/3 [...]
Zola Jesus
What do 19th century French author Émile Zola and all round good guy Jesus of Nazareth have in common? They both loved the shit out of pseudo-gothic, shoegaze fuelled, electronic lady balladry, that’s what!… I don’t think it was in any of the regular gospels, but when all the disciples left him alone at the [...]
Vote 1 Gus Da Hoodrat
For Cleo Bachelor of the year. Seriously, takes just one click to vote. VOTE OR DIE Do it for the lulz. And there shall be mighty lulz if he wins. And ketamine probably. Lets get together and meme the shit out of this knobfest, and make one of our nation’s hardest working trashbags the official [...]
Roxanne’s Third Birthday
Melbourne’s premiere alt-electronic hub Roxanne has come a long way over the last three years, going from being a semi-derelict, fifth floor fire trap to being a semi-derelict, fifth floor fire trap with a lift, an absolutely kicking soundsystem and an impeccable line in local and international DJs and events. Boy, the number of brain [...]
Solomon EP
Our friends over at Brrrrrln blog have got themselves in a bit of a pickle, a pickle with the same weight, texture and buoyancy as a new digital record label called Neon. First EP featuring Italian Bass Stallions 3 Is A Crowd and En Masse is out now. Here’s a glitchy, squeltchy techno swipe at [...]
Modeselektor Radio
New radio show from Electrorash’s all time super faves – Modeselektor. Always quality jams. Exciting stuff from Siriusmo and a SBTRKT remix of BOTH Art and Cash. Zany. Stream below Setlist through the jump
Golden Bug
He’s touring Australia as we speak. Check the Golden Boy of Gomma out at the above dates. Apparently it’s a furious one man assault on the synapse. Look after each other, and wear head protection. Golden Bug – Flamingo Flamingo (Pete Herbert Remix) The Flamingo Remix EP is out on Gomma NOW, grab it for [...]
