  Aeroplane Have Landed
  Disco, Events (0)

  Sorry for the headline but I had to do it - Stephan just got into Melbourne and I couldn't help myself. If you're into the cosmic disco sounds of Aeroplane then you won't want to miss the show at La Di Da this Friday night. We will be rolling deep to show Ghent how it's done. All words from the Sydney show are that it was a great set. To get yourself in the mood check out one of their great sets at Resident Adviser here. If you're coming down to see the show mentioned Electrorash at the door for $10 entry and ...

  Canyons Remix Ladyhawke
  Disco, Release, Remix (8)

  For me this post is more about the remix artist than the original. Not that I don't love and respect (and call in the morning) Ladyhawke but I think she's already broken out on the scene, whereas Canyons are just about to. I first heard about Canyons a couple of months ago when one of my best mates Roland was interviewing them for Pages Online where he is music editor. He got half way through the interview when he realised that we all knew each other from Perth. In fact Roland and I had helped find Leo's wallet at a bar ...

  Heartbreak
  Disco, Release, banger free zone (0)

  The 80's are alive and trapped in the Heartbreak of London. This disco revival duo is led by frontman Sebastian Muravchix and Ali Renault on keys. I think what grabbed me about these guys is how genuine the keys and vocals would sound in an 80's setting. Now wave? Popjustice disgustingly describe their sound as "new Italotronica" which just made me do a vomit in my mouth. Like a lot of the stuff I am loving lately heartbreak came to me randomly through my play list thanks to downloading the track earlier from Get Weird, Turn Pro. I checked out the last.fm ...

  Astrolabe
  Disco, Japan, Release (2)

  Astrolabe came to me via Asian Man Dan's blog and I love it. The fact that it's coming out of Japan is almost irrelevant because it would sit so well alongside music coming out on Kitsune, Moshi Moshi, Bang Gang 12"s etc. It's not a scene specific sound but it's the newer tracks coming out and the background influences that I think are an indication of what is to come from the kids in Japan. Astrolabe is a one man band using old school and new computers with samples to make music. At the moment it's just a studio project but ...

  Aeroplane Australian Tour
  Disco, Tour (5)

  Belgium disco mavens Aeroplane are heading to Australia in August for a rash of dates including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide - sorry but no Perth dates. I first got on the Aeroplane bandwagon (and it is fast becoming a bandwagon) last year when I picked up their remix of fellow Belgium duo Das Pop's "Fool For Love" from Phase02.org. But I have to admit that I didn't pay them a great deal of attention until I copped an early release of their May single "Whispers" with Kathy Diamond and fell in love. Aeroplane - Whispers feat. Kathy Diamond I think I know ...

  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 ...
