Electrorash Radio @ TheHype.fm
So today marks the first show for Electrorash over at TheHype.fm. It’s pretty exciting for us because we’ve been trying to get something going for a while now and we’re really happy with how this has turned out. TheHype.fm is a new internet radio station where you can hear some pretty great music 24 hours [...]
Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself, My Name Is…
Erm, Plimsouls. One or two of you might know me from my little forays into production/remixing. If you don’t, you’re missing out (I’d like to think); hit me up. I’ve also just started a blog, Techno Jihad. Ned got wind of it’s total freaking awesomeness, and asked me if I’d fancy doing the odd post [...]
Aeroplane Have Landed
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 [...]
Canyons Remix Ladyhawke
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 [...]
Heartbreak
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 [...]
Astrolabe
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 [...]
Aeroplane Australian Tour
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 [...]
LOVELOCK
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: [...]
BMX
These BMX cats hail out of Brisbane and make music that you could sit out in the sun all day and listen too. It’s fun, it’s raw and so popfresh I smile every time I listen to it. Turning heads these peeps will be pulling dirty mono’s (LIVE) at the Van She Lickit Party in [...]
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ee is another amazing DJ and producer from Melbourne. I first saw him a few years ago at the Rosemount hotel in Perth where he played with DMC champion Dexter and Dexter’s brother Kuya. It was a pretty awesome show. Now that I’m living east side I can catch him a couple of times a [...]
Great Music
I’ve been listening to some great music lately which is so welcome. Three months ago I was so tired of everything that was coming out and really felt like I was going through a drought. Luckily some awesome people pointed me back in the right direction and now I have a great rotation going. First [...]
G.L.O.V.E.S. On Bang Gang 12 Inches
We wrote about GLOVES way back in September last year about his remix of Gameboy/Gamegirl’s “Sweaty” and a lot has happened since then. Firstly he put out a white label 12″ of Dead Skin through European label Lektroluv and just recently has been signed to Thee Bang Gang Deejays label for a release of “PYX”. [...]
Sam Sparro Australian Tour
I first heard of Sam Sparro through Russ Chimes’ remix of “Black and Gold” and now he is coming to Australia for shows in Sydney and Melbourne. On Russ’ recent tour of Australia he talked about working with Sam Sparro and how he was at one stage going to be a part of the live [...]
Moulinex | Xinobi | D.I.S.C.O. Texas Tour
Moulinex and Xinobi are in the country at the moment on the D.I.S.C.O. Texas tour, taking in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. I was lucky enough to catch up with Luis Moulinex and Bruno Xinobi yesterday to talk about the tour, the label and music in general. They told me a little bit more about the [...]
