Turbo Recordings Australian Tour
Tiga’s Turbo Recordings is gracing Australian shores with it’s presence starting this weekend in Melbourne as part of the label’s 10th birthday celebrations. Tiga himself was a little tied up putting together his next album (with Soulwax and Jesper Dahlback) to make it but he’s sent his trusty label mates the Proxy and Thomas Von [...]
Shazam Remixes The Tough Alliance
Now then, my raggedy subjects, I think we can all agree that this here is one ridiculously spiffing tower. I could quite easily fit a billion of my very expensive horses inside it, plus a good number of those little goaty things that are always lying about my stables, eating sandals and what have you. [...]
The Rogue Element
I’m pretty sure The Rogue Element was the subject of my very first post for this fine blog, all the way back in November. Well, I assure you that my love has waned naught in the interim, even if he hasn’t put out a wealth of new material over the last six months. More excitingly [...]
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 [...]
Ellen Allien/Modeselektor/Lindstrom
Finally, something to spice up the general monotony of Perth nightlife – a night devoted to reasonably monotonous Germanic techno. Yay! Tonight down at Shape we have all three of the above mentioned Berliners swinging through town for a ‘Beck’s Fusion’ session – close to the only proper techno evening this town has seen in [...]
Luke Goes to the Future Music Festival
Let’s be honest, the Future Music Festival is really only notable for one thing: the Chemical Brothers. And fuck me if I haven’t been waiting a long time to see them. And it’s going to happen tomorrow. And I’m going to get messy. With excitement. Of course, festivals being as they are, I have any [...]
Reasons to Resent Perth #1: Gui Boratto
There are, of course, many reasons to resent Perth (recently they’ve instituted a policy on outdoor drinking requiring any pub with a licenced area that borders the footpath to institute an al fresco dining policy i.e. you can’t bring drinks outside from inside, they must be brought to you by a specified staff member. You [...]
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 [...]
