Ha! Check-out that guy. He’s wild. Seriously. Thanks for the great times mate. And thanks to the Grindin’ crew for again delivering some nutritious ear snacking. Tommy Boy (of Arawa.FM repute) compiled this ridiculously informative mix for Vice mag entirely comprised of up-to-the-coming-to-the-already-here Texan electronic artists. Sublime chillwave, swollen deep-house, a smattering of drag and [...]

I woke up fucking early this morning and plugged these remixes in. I’d watched the video earlier in the week, Electrorash writer Luke’s chop-up is in it, and heard massive things about the Polygon Palace remix. Human Life – In It Together (Acid Girls remix) Human Life – In It Together (Polygon Palace remix) <= [...]

As you could probably tell from this post, I had no end of love for Fuck Button’s ‘Tarot Sport’ last year, and even went so far as to crown it my Album of the Year to anyone who’d listen. And I’ll tell you something for nothing, sure it can be kinda tough to pin them [...]

You remember La Mode? Those precocious young scamps behind one of the most popular bootlegs of the bloghause era? They’re back, kind of, in mysterious black n’ white / large font format. What does this mean? After what? Afternoon, afterlife or just after tonight’s episode of House MD. I will continue to agitate for something [...]

An almost break-beat slow burning remix from James Rutledge of Ellie Goulding’s upcoming(?) single Guns and Horses – one of my favourite jams from Ellie’s album ‘Lights’. Trust ol’ Mr Rutledge to throw an unexpected tone into the hyper-saturated emotions and pop pacing of the original. It’s like THIS IS A MELANCHOLY POP SONG! And [...]

They make you do it yourself!!! Web 2.0 or ‘Web two point oh-no you ripped off a popular youtube meme’? Background Foreground [...]

The new single from Matt’s sunny debut EP ‘Balmy Nights’ is called Journey. Produced by Mikey Di Francesco and Diamond Cut, it’s glorious vintage pop with kicks and basslines that roll on and on into the distance. More M83 than the playful pop of ‘Saturday Night’ – Matt’s voice was made for slow jams like [...]

I was personally branding myself/reading an article in Vice magazine the other day about obese Asian gentlemen who buy large pillows of popular hentai characters. This upset me greatly, so I put the magazine down and made a delicious ham sammich instead. If I was going to marry a cushion or other soft derivative thereof, [...]
