Electrorash

Are coming to town! Not quite Santa, but pretty close. That is, if Santa delivered pre-wrapped rock solid beats and rode a sleigh made of tech-electro stylings! Yeah!

Well, that was a clumsy analogy.

So, those mighty purveyors of party at Strobe have managed to finagle both Boy 8-Bit and Feadz to play the same massive evening this Melbourne Cup Eve at Billboard. That oddly glossy, yet strangely endearing underground den of iniquity. Also, Cup Eve is November 2nd. In case you’ve missed it somehow. I mean, I find it as testicle-retractingly boring as the next man, but still. That shit is everywhere.

I can’t imagine either act need too much introduction, suffice to say that Boy 8-Bit has been one of the most diverse and consistent producers to emerge from the electro scene while Feadz could perhaps best be described as Ed Banger’s ghetto-tech-house wonder boy. Rather excitingly though, we have a DOUBLE PASS to give away to this sure to be party of catastrophic proportions. Both first and second release tickets have sold out, leaving only the $39 final round left, meaning you have the chance to save $78 whole dollaz and centz by simply emailing us at music@electrorash.com and explaining in 5 words or less your bestest, most dancefloor destroying dance move. 5 words.

Just to sweeten the deal, here be some music. From the B8B (not an accepted acronym) side of things we have ‘The Cricket Scores’, a slice of curiously melodic, yet crunchy granola-d funk off his 2008 Suspense is Killing Me EP. Recently heard on Modeselektor’s pretty cranking Body Language 8 Mix. Well worth checking out.

And Feadz-wise, here be another stonking slab of Modeselektor delight, his take on Happy Birthday! stand-out track ‘Sucker Pin’. It’s a relentless stomper to begin with, but Feadz really takes it up a notch, folding the original synth-line back over itself while filling it with reams of build ups and party-house samples. Pretty great, and a sure sign of what to expect.

P.S. If you’re wondering, that picture comes off Boy 8-Bit’s Myspace. If someone has actually created a Village People of dogs, I will shit myself with happiness.
