Pegase Remixes Empire Of The Sun
The delightful Raphael D’Hervez, better know as Valerie’s Pegase, has kindly decided to share with us his first ever remix, taking on Empire Of The Sun’s “Walking on a Dream,” presumably for all of its bright-eyed whimsy and laidback flair. The result is characteristically pretty, D’Hervez’s synthwork simultaneously skipping over the surface of the chorus [...]
El Guincho Sydney Ticket Deal
It’s a sad state of affairs indeed when an act as lovely as Barcelona’s Pablo Díaz-Reixa aka El Guincho, has to sell his already fairly cheap tickets at 2 for the price of 1 just days before his Sydney show at the Oxford Art Factory. His debut album, Alegranza, was one of the most charming [...]
Jokers Of The Scene Remix The Subs
Belgian trio, The Subs, are set to release My Punk as the second single from their debut album, Subculture, (which you can read about here) in a couple of weeks’ time, and it will feature a reciprocal remix from Alex Gopher, and one from Ottowa duo, Jokers Of The Scene. Judging from the remixes preview [...]
Peter Björn & John Remixed
All of a sudden we have two brilliant new Peter Björn & John remixes that came as if from nowhere. The reason for their appearance presumably being to build some degree of hype prior to the release of their upcoming third album, Living Thing, which is set to follow their lukewarmly-received sophomore album, Seaside Rock. [...]
Hot Pink Delorean Remix Atlantic Connection
Boston’s Hot Pink Delorean have just remixed Good Hood Review, a track from D&B producer, Nathan Hayes aka Atlantic Connection‘s, most recent album, Tomorrow’s Not Enough. It’s being released on a follow-up remix EP, Tomorrow Wasn’t Enough, on January 25th, which will also feature four other remixes, including an LA Riots remix of Rocksteady. HPD’s [...]
The Shoes
Deciding on the picture was a mad toss-up between this and a pair of Electro-Wolves. DIFFICULT. The cute sad boy with nice hair may have won this time, but it probably had everything to do with my concern for Holiday Rabbit down there. Probably… It’s a happy collision of two Electrorash favourites – local boys, [...]
Holiday Favourites
I defy you to find a picture of a happier rabbit. Seriously, this shit makes me want to quit my job, say goodbye to all my friends, and become one. Then I’d move out of home and into some kickass meadow, where I’d run around all day and bite things. That grass looks delicious. Umm, [...]
New Edwin Van Cleef
This is what happens when you take a break from blogging over the holidays and sit on a few tracks for too long. The dear folks at Valerie well and truly beat you to it. And then those tracks spread all over the goddamn place, such as here and then over here. But regardless, here [...]
Russ Chimes’ esper. Mix
So I haven’t posted a mix in like, forever, but I’ve become so enamoured by this one lately that I just had to. With the likes of those DFA79, Treasure Fingers and Golden Filter remixes, Chimes’ set is like a brilliant trip through some of my favourite, ahem, blog house moments. It was made for [...]
Boys Noize, D.I.M., Fred Falke – Sydney
As the perfect addition to your long weekend plans, The Music People Sydney (website coming soon) will be hosting the above three boys at the Forum on the 25th January. I’ve got my schedule locked in for Big Day Out, and it looks like I’ll be frantically galloping all over the showground with too many [...]
The Spirits
I went to see my brother’s band, The Detours, play at the Art Factory a couple of weeks ago, and was fortunate enough to catch unsigned FBi darlings,The Spirits’ opening set. I spent the entire time making the fairly obvious statement to everyone that, “Shit. These guys are awesome (and I’m getting another wine).” Formerly [...]
Faux Fox Remixed
Shit, guys, so now do you believe me that we’re not the only goddamn gigantors in this town? Good. Now look, these townspeople, I don’t think they’re all there. They seem to enjoy breaking giant things. Like us. Not convinced? Well, tell that to Gigantor Bell over there. Oh wait, you can’t, because part of [...]
Anoraak’s Christmas Remix
This Christmas, I think I want a couple of pheasants, please. They could live on my balcony, eat corn and snails and things, and they’d be mine. I suppose this remix was always going to happen (for the obvious reasons) and it is, not surprisingly, terribly sweet. Head over to Valerie’s site for details on [...]
