  THE RAPTURE, NO SEX FOR BEN
  what? (0)

  I was driving over to a mates place last night and i happened to come across this morsel of goodness. Incredible latino drums a hook that will make you scream your arse off and as many people witnessed enough DANCE to make any self respecting man bounce like a lunatic in his car. No sex for Ben also featured on the new Grand Theft Auto soundtrack; don't worry i wasn't impaling people or performing drive byes. Given the Pope is in town and he has brought with him his Christian youth, NO SEX FOR BEN seems rather appropriate. Get a bit of ...

  PRESTON PARK
  Short Post, Website (1)

  In the all too predictable world of electro and dance, there are people who restore my faith in progress. Preston is one, he is dark, he is mysterious and he certainly has talent. He is a one man band singing and producing under the guise Preston Park. When i first stumbled across his music via his myspace(imagine that!) i was enthralled by the music and his flashing background. At the start of his tracks its as if your frozen in an icicle and Preston slowly sings you out of it. They start moody and cold and become warmer as they ...

  LOVELOCK
  Disco, Short Post, banger free zone (2)

  This man hails out of New York and makes incredible dreamy synth pop. By dreamy i don't mean slow and boring. It holds your attention by creating a mood that is reserved but leaves the listener expecting a big lift and that is exactly what we get. Burning Feeling is a great reflection of this: lovelock-burning-feeling But saving the best for last, Love Reaction is pure PORN, incredibly catchy vocals, driving guitar, superb synths. A track that i have been thinking about alot. I can't help pondering that if it were released 20 years ago the potential this would have had to ...

  ROSCOE
  Short Post (3)

  Sometimes not very often, but sometimes you hear a song and it will completely take you by storm, you don't know why, you don't know how. It's almost as if tapped into your subconscious and linked in with memories in your past, or your imagination took the music for a ride in your head. Either way it affects you, it turns your emotions from one moment to the next in such a way that the moment is highlighted above many others. midlake-roscoe-rmx-beyond-the-wizard-aka-erol-alkan-richard-norris1 I seem to go back too this track alot. This hence gave me the thought of posting it for all ...

  FUTURECOP TOUR
  Events, News, Tour (2)

  Futurecop began life as it seems a lot of good musical artists do, making music to please themselves with no pre cursors or attempt to fit in with the norm. Futurecop make music that could quite easily be placed as scores in movies, defining moments, victorious battles and epic car chases just some ideas off the top of my head, see for yourself. transformers,futurecop They are touring Australia presently and you can check these guys out at Pogo tomorrow night in Melbourne, and friday night they are playing at Lickit Adelaide's show at the rocket bar which i'm playing at. Followed by ...
