Creamfields Giveaway
Based on the relatively rotten time I had at Future (not enough technos!), I’m curious to see what Creamfields 2011 will hold. Stereosonic was actually great fun, and really slickly produced this year so hopes are high. If you’ve not caught the memo, here’s the skinny: Deadmau5 (possibly with that ridiculous live LED rig in [...]

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 [...]
The Swiss Melbourne Show – This Saturday!
I first got my hands on the Swiss via their first label, Really Real Records. I was so impressed by their understated disco-infused melodies that I bought everything I could get my hands on – which at the time consisted of four different colourways of the Really Real label shirt. I was just as excited [...]
Boy 8-Bit and Feadz
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 [...]
The Bag Raiders’ Shooting Stars Tour
Hold up the crazy train and lock up your pets and the fragile elderly, because the Bag Raiders are coming and they are a, um, menace to, uh, pets… and the fragile elderly… When I began that sentence I thought that I’d come up with a better way to finish it. I really did. Sigh. [...]
Yuksek Australian Tour
Following on from his rather large Splendour in the Grass campaign, (youtube “Yuksek Splendour” and you’ll know what I mean) Yuksek is bringing his batshit mental electro stylings to ol’ Melbourne town this Sunday the 2nd of August. And if you’re from up north (i.e. Brisbane), you can catch him at Lickit this Friday the [...]
Jesse Rose + Zombie Disco Squad + Oliver $ = STROBE
Every time I look at the title of this blog, my mind flies back to the heady days of 2007; the year when electro first exploded into the mainstream, propelled forward on a wave of stomping house beats spliced with synth-rock and electroclash sensibilities. I remember thinking at the time how amazing it was that [...]
And we have a winner!
At the end of March we ran a remix competition in association with Universal and Nova 937 for the Dukes of Windsor’s track “Runaway”. A lot of entries ended up coming in; some great, some not so great and a few fucking amazing ones but overall the standard was very high. The Dukes have now [...]
Turbo Recordings Australian Tour
Tiga’s Turbo Recordings is gracing Australian shores with it’s presence starting this weekend in Melbourne as part of the label’s 10th birthday celebrations. Tiga himself was a little tied up putting together his next album (with Soulwax and Jesper Dahlback) to make it but he’s sent his trusty label mates the Proxy and Thomas Von [...]
Your Name – Your Track (Shinichi Osawa remix)
Well this is a remix competition with a difference. The normal process is an artist releases all the parts for one of their better tracks and all the blog house producers of the world chop the shit out of it with, let’s face it, generally sub-par results. As a slight change of pace Southern Fried [...]
