Miike Snow / Sinden + Aus Dates
Miike Snow’s latest piano driven pop-romp, Sylvia, has been given a touch up by Sinden. Miike Snow – Sylvia (Sinden Remix) Sinden’s remixes have flown under the radar a bit recently, as young bedroom upstarts force their way through the ranks, grabbing the focus from the big guns of ’08. This gets back to Sinden’s [...]
Bikes Rock
The Bicycle Film Festival rolls back into town with the launch night on the 11th of November in Sydney. Think Nicole Kidman, BMX, fixies, bike polo and even recumbent cycling. Yes, even recumbents will be there – for better or worse. To make up for the recumbents the launch night will see Bridezilla, Jonathan Boulet, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Clock Opera
Supporting Marina & the Diamonds at a Neon Gold event in London next week, Guy Connelly aka Clock Opera, is definitely one to watch. Connelly, who has been fronting the London-based band, the Corrections, is now blending his cripplingly good vocals with an eruption of twinkling samples and urgent keyboard stabs to very pretty effect. [...]
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 [...]
The Punks Jump UP
Punks Jump Up are in Australia at the moment embarking on their first tour for music and their second for pleasure. I was lucky enough to get Dave out of bed to have a chat about what they’ve been working on, their fusion of fashion and music and what they’re plotting this time around. So [...]
Scatterblog Music Presents… Real Music For Hustlers
Some people talk about first, second, third and fourth generation blogs. Seeing as Electrorash started in July 2007 we are probably along the lines of a third or fourth gen with someone like Stereogum or Pitchfork being amongst the first. Scatterblog would probably be in the second or third generation having started in 2006 – [...]
Todd Terje Australian Tour
Last week I got a chance to interview Todd Terje and as with all of my past interviews the introduction was predictably bad. To give you an idea of my history my very first interview was with Calvin Harris at his hotel in Melbourne. Being the super organised guy that I am I typed up [...]
Shinichi Osawa – Last Days Video
Shinichi Osawa‘s Last Days is a great mix between sweet, melodic guitar and distorted, driving bass – and the video is no different. Using animated ink drawings the video starts off with blotter paper but turns into repetitive, interacting characters. Like almost all of the videos we’ve been featuring over the last few weeks you [...]
A Very Justice NYE
Our friends over at Industreate are running a fucking awesome competition that could have two lucky readers spending New Years Eve in close quarters with Justice and So-Me in Chicago! Holy shit! Justice – A Cross The Universe – Trailer from INDUSTREATE on Vimeo. All you have to do is tell us what you did [...]
Digitalism Announce Melbourne Sideshow
After selling out Summadayze festivals around the country Kitsune’s Digitalism have just announced a Melbourne sideshow including one very special date on January 10 at the Forum in Melbourne. It’s been a pretty massive couple of years for the Digitalism boys, Jence and Isi with relentless touring touring, featuring on Kitsune Maison 6, remix duties [...]
Holy Shit!
…is exactly what I said when I heard this announcement for the second edition of Nevereverland, the festival last year headlined by Daft Punk. When I heard the festival was coming back again I was kind of surprised. Surely you can’t beat Daft Punk, why do it again? Even though this festival isn’t quite Daft [...]
Big Day Out First Announcement
With half of Melbourne still getting over the gurn fest that was Parklife, and the rest of the country still to experience that particular brand of ecstasy, the first Big Day Out lineup has just been announced. And it’s a really mixed bag. Neil Young The Prodigy Arctic Monkeys My Morning Jacket Pendulum Bullet For [...]
Roxanne’s Third Birthday
