Wolf Parade

Thursday, June 12, 2008

My recent posts seem to be more and more making a lie of the name of this blog. But I’m kind of in a rut of late, as far as electro goes. Too much repetition, too many clamouring unknowns, too few wonderful, exciting slabs of new dance music. Times like this I begin to miss [...]

Ellen Allien/Modeselektor/Lindstrom

Friday, June 6, 2008

Finally, something to spice up the general monotony of Perth nightlife - a night devoted to reasonably monotonous Germanic techno. Yay! Tonight down at Shape we have all three of the above mentioned Berliners swinging through town for a ‘Beck’s Fusion’ session - close to the only proper techno evening this town has seen in [...]

Koma & Bones

Thursday, June 5, 2008

In my grand tradition of hyping artists shortly after they’ve departed our fine shores (see Metric, Alex), Koma & Bones were busy tearing Australia up through the month of February with nary a peep to be heard from this fine blog. My deepest apologies K&B. Thing is, they’d kinda dropped off my radar for a [...]

Thursday, May 29, 2008

Now, while I wouldn’t say I’m ‘losing my shit’ for dubstep per se, there still remain a number of tunes (in my admittedly limited catalogue) that have impressed me no end. While I harbour severe doubts about its club-worthiness (methinks a full night might kill me with boredom), I see dubstep as one of the [...]

Cheap Thrills Kills

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Ok, that title’s really just a lazy way of justifying the inclusion of Fake Blood and Hervé in the same post, but you get the idea. Fake Blood is awesome, mysterious and has a highly anticipated single soon to be released on Cheap Thrills. Hervé is pseudonymous, prolific and runs the Cheap Thrills label with [...]

Alex Metric

Monday, May 19, 2008

I’m consistently surprised by the lack of attention paid to Alex Metric. Originally hailing from the fair old land of breakbeat, Metric has spent a much of the past couple of years trying to harness the power of electro-rock-breakbeat fusion, with, it must be said, a reasonable amount of success. His sound still retains the [...]

Space in the Woods Remix Redux

Thursday, May 15, 2008

Back in October, Bec blogged no less than 8 separate remixes of Late of the Pier’s ‘Space in the Woods’ in a single post. One would have thought that possibly, just possibly, that may have been sufficient. But today I am here to declare ‘NAY, ‘TIS NOT!’ (because occasionally I turn into a sixteenth century [...]
