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 [...]

Knightlife - Crusader

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

Initially I’d observed this year’s escalation of dubstep in a rather disdainful manner, but figured there was only so long I could hold out before I’d start to look like a wilful idiot. I might still look like an idiot for being so reluctant to embrace it in the first place, but at least now [...]

The Shoes Remix Golden Silvers

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 [...]

Emil & Friends Remix Little Boots

In true Little Boots fashion, we’ve already seen a billion and one remixes of her latest single, New in Town, but this one warrants a mention for its awesome new direction. Emil Hirsch and his gang of nameless sidekicks have crammed Victoria Hesketh’s pretty vocals through a vocoder, letting them ooze out alongside some mercurial [...]

SALEM on Big Love

When people ask which new bands they should be listening to right now, SALEM (and Telepathe) are easily my first response. Their tormented lo-fi electro with its crooked, otherworldy vocals might at times seem an uneasy listen, but there’s so much depth to it, it’s an addictive uneasy listen.
Following their first two releases on Acephale [...]

Discovery - Orange Shirt

Aptly described by Derek Neon Gold as a combination of Vampire Weekend, The Postal Service and R. Kelly, with references to Japan both lyrical and aesthetic, Vampire Weekend keyboardist, Rostam Batmanglij, has teamed up with Ra Ra Riot’s Wes Miles, to form a new side-project, Discovery. Set to take 2009 by storm, this lively duo, [...]
