Foals Remixed by Loud Pipes
I honestly don’t know what’s going on in this picture. I mean, I thought I got it: you put “let me show you my,” and “horseballs,” into a sentence and present it to a certain demographic, and you’ll have guaranteed laughs, or at the very least a silent appreciation of your superior homograph-dependent comedic skills. [...]
A-Trak…
…is cool. So cool in fact he turned down an offer from Jay-Z to be his touring DJ. Mans got skills, and this definitely proves he’s got balls. He’s already Kanye West’s touring DJ, so perhaps this was a premeditated effort to prevent ‘beef’ from occurring. And he’s got a new LP coming out soon. [...]
Miami Horror vs Knightlife – Electrorash.com Party
So we have finally decided to throw an electrorash.com blog party. We saw the kind of cool shit that guys like Bigstereo.com had done and wanted to be one of those people putting on a party for no reason other than that we like music and want to share it with you. The first (of [...]
The State Of The Music Industry
A very interesting article on the music industry as reported by the Digital Music Forum East was on Wired.com today. It raised some interesting points from the point of view of both existing ‘old-school’ players and the digital guys as well. If you like downloading music and paying nothing for it or if you think [...]
Klaxons Vs Rihanna
So yeah, Klaxons are collaborating with Rihanna (is anyone else concerned at how increasingly bad her hair is getting?) on her hit single, Umbrella, for the Brit Awards tomorrow night at Earls Court, London. And I hear the indie purists weep. I’m not too worried about it though, it’s a catchy song, (if you disagree [...]
Cut Copy – Lights And Music (Moulinex Remix)
Cut Copy got some great remixes going for their latest single. They could have taken anyone off of their label Modular or off of their own imprint label Cutters (Knightlife?). Instead they have made different choices but they have definitely paid off. First up there was the Boys Noize remix Cut Copy – Lights and [...]
Kanye West With Daft Punk At The Grammys
Title says it except that this is really cool. Despite the haters that say that it wasn’t really Daft Punk (it probably wasn’t) and they weren’t really doing anything up there (they definitely weren’t) this is a great video and something that would be amazing if it ever happened in real life. Check it.

DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist Tour
Not strictly electro or indie news but certainly for fans of these genre-spanning DJ’s this is news you don’t want to miss. Previous DJ Shadow tours have sold out really quickly so get your tickets ASAP if you don’t want to be left out in the cold. I imagine he will probably play his reworking [...]
We Back (Again)
Hey Yo! We are finally back and running again. Things are going to be a little different for a couple of days as we get everything back to where it was but stick with us and we guarantee it will be worth it. In the next couple of days we have a bunch of exclusives [...]
Kitsune/Motorola Mobile
Motorola have partnered with a lot of people to promote their phones, especially the RAZR. They even have Kanye West turning down a B&O in favour of a RAZR. Now, I really dig Kitsune. It was their first two compilations that really turned me onto indie-dance and electro in a big way after a mate [...]
Triple J Hottest 100
January 26 is Australia Day where we celebrate being how much better we are at cricket, swimming and electro than the rest of the world. Every year the largest national youth radio station, Triple J, also broadcast their hottest 100 tracks of the past year as voted by listeners in the largest listener poll in [...]
When A Liar Falls Down…
I ADORE Liars. Words cannot describe the level of affection that I have for that band. Well, if I was forced to pick a couple, I’d probably say, ‘crazy’ followed by ‘obsessed’ would actually be quite sufficient. For me they are musically, lyrically and conceptually flawless and if you don’t agree with me, I’ll fight [...]
