Mammoth Logic
From Adelaide, home of twitterlebrities such The Swiss, Joel Amos and Louis Schofield come electronic duo Mammoth Logic. They’ve got a new jam out, it’s called (ME) and Richard Kingsmill seems to like it. I’m not convinced, but it’s always great to hear new sounds from our fair South Australian buddies. There’s some strong vocal [...]
More from Idea Idea
Sydney electro-trippers Idea Idea have made a spectacular clip for their new single Set Sail. Featuring the always devine Lanie Lane and a range of vintage keys on the bottom of a pool, it’s a pretty spectacular affair for such a new band, and, based on what I’ve seen, just a hint of the wildness [...]
Van She Tech Booties
Twitter this morning alerted me to a couple brand spankin’ Van She Tech remixes. The guys took some time out from recording what one can assume is a new album to make these booties in preparation for their upcoming Splendour In The Grass Dj set (which i’ll no doubt hear all about come Monday…) The [...]
Justice for Australia
I have it on very good authority from a friend of a friend who works for a friend who once picked up my friend’s cousin that the lords of electro, Justice, are 100% confirmed to play Field Day (and therefore Summadayze) in Australia this New Year’s. Pen is on paper apparently. I could go ‘oh, [...]
Steep Summer Booty
Hello Your boys STEEP here again, we’ve taken another incongruous collection of tracks and asked ‘will they blend’? They did, and the result is as superlatively ridiculous as you would imagine. Swedish House Mafia vs. Robin S vs. Douster – Show Me The King Of One Love (STEEP Bootleg) by STEEP Download here I’ve been [...]
Castratii
Castratii have emerged from the mysterious misty mists of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales. I don’t really know much about them – apparently they all play in a few bands around town and have recorded as Castratii for about a year. They’ve got a blog, but that doesn’t tell you much either. At [...]
Femme En Fourrure
The latest release from Discobelle records is remix pack of Dirty Blonde by Finland’s Femme En Fourrure. I love everything these guys touch. Their style of minimal house is ballsy and muscular without resorting to excessive bongos. Grindin’ native Lazaro Cassanova has given us his remix to share, but get a hold of the rest [...]
World Bar, Sydney, Tonight
Electrorash mood selectors from 2:30 til silly-o-clock in the band room, so come say hi. You can also catch these silly munchkins Idea Idea. A kinda wonky dubstep performance troupe featuring the unique vocals of Lanie Lane and a bunch of people in weird costumes. Pretty eye-opening. “idea idea” Live from idea idea on Vimeo. [...]
Bagraiders and Beni giveaway
Our Melbourne mates the Strobe crew are throwing another one of their irregular slam dances at Prince with Bagraiders, Ajax and Beni. It’s tomorrow night, and we’ve got a mad double pass to giveaway. Riddle us this: What’s the most amazing thing that happened in 1928. Answer that makes us go ‘hmm, that’s interesting’ the [...]
Black Cab
Melbourne duo Black Cab are on the road this week, and I’ll definitely be catching them this Friday at ol’ mate Oxford Arts Factory. Deep, droning shoe-gaze pop is the order of business here. I think the band put it best: “keyboards and found sounds loosely inspired by 1970’s East Germany – surveillance, fear, anxiety [...]
Computers Want Me Dead
Ignore the derivative, En Zed made video clip. This song from New Zealand’s ‘Computers Want Me Dead‘ is amazing: Someone sign them and force them to change their name stat. -Mandu
Kids Of 88
Auckland lads Kids of 88 have rapidly beguiled label hit squads this side of the Tasman. Things are happening. We had a quick phone conversation with the band last week to ask them some obvious questions: “..(musical) influences are a touchy thing, I dont want to be sacrilegious. My favourite 80s bands have been of [...]
