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 – [...]
Low Motion Disco
Two secretive producers from Belgium, they call themselves Low Motion Disco, and a more descriptive name it would be hard to think of. As they put it: We tend to be the strange kind of party visitors. The ones that would rather stand around and watch people dance than dance themselves. It‘s not a voyeur [...]
Kings of Leon – Only By the Night
Good lord, I adore this track. Kings of Leon are gearing up to release their fourth album, Only By the Night on the 23rd September. This album pleasantly surprised me by being really quite gorgeous, as I wasn’t so much into the lead single, Sex on Fire, which to be honest felt a little dated. [...]
New Shiny Toy Guns
Alright so I haven’t been following any of this at all, but then I heard Ricochet and I thought I’d better try and catch up pretty fast. Rumour has it that the darling of Shiny Toy Guns, vocalist Carah Faye Charnow, voluntarily left/was asked to leave because she wanted to move to Sweden for her [...]
Parklife 2008 Festival
The dates and lineup for this years Parklife festival have just been announced and it looks fantastic. Probably the best Australian festival lineup that I have seen for a long time and perhaps a good reason for me to start liking festivals again. Goldfrapp Soulwax Peaches 2manydjs Dizzee Rascal Martin Solveig Plump DJs Diplo Jesse [...]
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 [...]
FUTURECOP TOUR
Futurecop began life as it seems a lot of good musical artists do, making music to please themselves with no pre cursors or attempt to fit in with the norm. Futurecop make music that could quite easily be placed as scores in movies, defining moments, victorious battles and epic car chases just some ideas off [...]
DatA + Sebastien Grainger = Genius
Oh good lord where have I been?! Is this some kind of ridiculously fantastic dream?! Looks like a couple of weeks ago some info about the first single from DatA’s debut album (due to be released later this year) was revealed. I won’t say too much about it, because it’s not yet ready for blogging, [...]
New Beck Album
So the world’s sexiest scientologist (pipe down, Tom Cruise, no one thinks it’s you) Beck Hansen, is rumoured to be releasing his new album in the next four to six weeks. And oh my god, four to six weeks is hardly enough time to prepare for my brain to explode with all the anticipatory excitement, [...]
Ghostwood
When Ghostwood got signed to Modular I wondered about the direction the indie/electro label was trying to go in. They started with Ben Lee and at the time their most recent signing was Van She from memory and Ghostwood didn’t really fit the mould. But the band have held on and I am personally glad [...]
Russ Chimes Australian Tour
This is exciting news for us and all electro fans – electrorash.com are bringing Russ Chimes to Australia for a mini tour in May! We’ve been massive fans of Russ for a long time now and after seeing him on some massive bills overseas (Friday night he played with Futurecop! and College in London) we [...]
BLOG PARTY
Last month we threw a fucking massive party on the eve of Good Friday the results of which you can see here and here. The stage was graced by Miami Horror battling Knightlife and the laneway outside had a line all the way down the street. This time we bring you something equally exciting with [...]
Hey Now
I first noticed Hey Now when I was searching for the track “We Don’t Walk” by the Paper Scissors out of Sydney. The original is a great track by an awesome band but it was the Hey Now remix that I was seeing people talking playing in mixtapes. The Paper Scissors – We Don’t Walk [...]
Switch – The Original Crookers
Everyone goes crazy for Crookers but personally I don’t really get it. I think it’s guys like Switch who really do the whole fidget on k thing so well. But then a couple of months ago someone told me a story about how Switch is a hell of nice guy and gave his Logic environments [...]
