Anoraak - Nightdrive With You Mini Album

What an amazing 180-degree flip from the hard-as-nails grimy aesthetic of last year’s electro “banger” to today’s tremendously polished disco aesthetic, which dictates that every synth be scrubbed clean until it glistens so that the vocals - wonderfully chilled from their round-trip gliding through the cosmos - can skim across each one with nary the [...]

Yuksek - I Like To Play

If internet porn wasn’t technically already, I’d say this track is the electronification of sex (don’t worry, it’s a real word). Hooray for Discodust, who finally got permission to post it so now everyone else can too.
Pick up a copy of the Tonight EP on the 22nd September from Uncivilized World Ent.
YUKSEK - i like [...]

Captain - Distraction

Wow, it’s like the second coming of Cajun Dance Party. Again a London-based quintet with an obligatory token girl member, only this time around they’ve managed to graduate from highschool… Although on closer inspection it appears as if this second coming of Cajun Dance Party actually released their debut single before the first coming did, [...]

Kings of Leon - Only By the Night

Good lord, I adore this track. Kings of Leon are gearing up to release their fourth album, Only By the Night on the 23rd September. This album pleasantly surprised me by being really quite gorgeous, as I wasn’t so much into the lead single, Sex on Fire, which to be honest felt a little dated. [...]

Emergency! Emergency! - Mathletixx

If you’ve ever been out in Sydney (the good places, not the shitty ones) then chances are you’ve crossed paths with Emergency! Emergency!’s, Stephen J. Mitchell, being the nocturnal mainstay of our city that he is. Since releasing his debut EP, E!E!E!P!, earlier this year, Mitchell has been steadily working on his follow-up EP, and [...]

New Edwin Van Cleef

So my student loan repayments kicked in yesterday, and being as unexpectedly and catastrophically high as they are, they have me well and truly by the proverbials. (Although let it be said for the record that I don’t actually have any proverbials, mainly because I’m a girl, and not a very tough/proverbialsy one at that.) [...]

Housse De Racket - Tepr Remix

So I just woke up far too early again for no apparent reason. Fortunately I found these sitting in our inbox, so I guess it’s not so bad, but I’m watching you, body clock. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do, wearing me down so you can eventually usurp my body and [...]
