Rimply Sed – Dyskoswet
Well. Well, Well. Didn’t even know i could still log into this thing…… A little morsel of fun landed in my hands yesterday which put a smile on my dial. Don’t know much about them except there from Melbourne and enjoy making fun of themselves and this certainly comes out in their music. Rimpy Sed [...]
Jamaican Hurts
Exclusive digital awesome from Ed Banger mystery duo and hype magnet – JAMAICA (formerly known to you and you, but not you as Poney Poney). If you don’t know the story on these guys, you obviously don’t know how to read a blog, which in itself is a paradox, but I don’t make the rules. [...]
Cassette Kids ‘Lying Around’ – Diamond Cut Remix
Just try to stop this track from burrowing into your head and settling on repeat. As part of the lead-up to the Cassette Kids’ long-coming debut album, Nothing On TV, fellow Aussie, Diamond Cut, has been kept busy with the remixing obligations, the most recent of which is the first official single, Lying Around. It [...]
Peacocks
The kids from Former Child Stars were kind enough to pass along this remix of their amazing single ‘Safe In Silence’ by Melbourne party-jam band Peacocks (aka: Josh from Miami Horror’s sideproject band) Glitchy via ravey electro jam that capitalises on the original’s sing-along chorus line… all in good fun. Check out more Peacocks here [...]
The Scare
Not the biggest Scare fan, but they’re definitely riling some feathers with their debut Oozevoodoo (whatever the fuck that is/was/will be). Their current single, Could Be Bad is being pummeled on indy radio around Australia right now, it’s hard to miss.. it’s a bit Paper Scissors, a bit Klaxons… maybe a really angry version of [...]
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. [...]
The Nextdoor Neighbors
I’ve been obsessing over Olympia/Seattle-based outfit, The Nextdoor Neighbors, so hard since discovering them a few weeks ago. Ridiculously endearing, this offbeat electro folk/pop duo released their debut album, Magic Vs the Machine, on Bicycle Records late last year, and it’s quite an impish little affair. With Kathy Cotes on keys and Jessie Hill on [...]
Visitor – Los Feeling
Formerly Cobra Dukes, then formerly What She Wants, UK’s Visitor are giving us the first glimpse of their brand new Diamond Cut-produced material with the cosmically-charged Los Feeling. It’s a terribly pretty, stirring voyage into the realm of shimmery stadium pop, and it’s of course had the labels scratching feverishly at their door for more. [...]
So I’m Jo
Bringing some much needed poise and distinction to the needle strewn cul-de-sacs of Sydney’s wanna-be-a-DFAster-electro and disco scene are So I’m Jo. I caught So I’m Jo a few weeks ago at one of FBi’s ‘Please Save the Flip Out Of Us’ parties, and I was pretty impressed with their clean, shoe-gazey disco pop. It [...]
New Diamond Cut
Electrorash favourite, Diamond Cut, has very kindly taken time out of his crazy schedule to send us his latest remix, that of British pop duo, Booty Luv’s new single, “Say It.” Dude has totally straightened out the rather textbook original with his driving bassline and those eternally lovely synths that I’ll probably never grow weary [...]
Jakwob
Initially I’d observed this year’s escalation of dubstep in a rather disdainful manner, but figured there was only so long I could hold out before I’d start to look like a wilful idiot. I might still look like an idiot for being so reluctant to embrace it in the first place, but at least now [...]
‘Moar VNISH plz’
Back by overwhelming demand (serious-like!) here’s more from the enigmatic Sydney via New York (not San Fran as previously advertised) electro-pop’d duo, The Vanish. They’ve got some shiny new gems and a re-polished old one to share. The Vanish – Heartbeat The Vanish – I Don’t Speak French The Vanish – Hold On (Mastered) You’ll [...]
Aeons
More unsigned electro joy from Sydney! Aeons are two young fellows of musical temperament who have recently shunned the rampant alcoholism and questionable odours of Sydney’s alternative band scene. Ignoring my warning about the impending global electro recession, they’ve traded in guitars for some shiny new synths and software oscillators. Or maybe they kept the [...]
Kolt13
I know what you’re thinking: “Good lord, another Digitalism remix? No one needs that shit filling up their hard drive,” and ordinarily I’d be right there with you, but this one is actually pretty great. Unknown to most of us before his high-energy Tigersapien and Kickdrums remixes appeared on Missing Toof and elsewhere a few [...]
