CELSIUS
New on Russ Chimes’ label UNO MAS is this release from ‘mystery man’ Celsius (you’ll work out who it is if you dig around).

All the hot news from Russell The Chime on Electrorash, official [...]

Blood Diamonds
A not really new, actually track from Blood Diamonds that tickled me so lovingly, I just had to post it up. Blood Diamonds – Grins This Canadian fella has been a little bit quiet through the second half of 2011, but this was a timely little reminder of why we love BD’s erratic interpretation of [...]
RIP Acid Girls
A sad day… from Greg Acid Girls: Jamie and I are playing our last show tonight, and we uploaded this album which consists of songs most of you have probably not heard, mostly. I would appreciate it if you blogged it or whatever if you’re into it, just cos I really like a lot of [...]
ROMA
A fellow from Bordeaux, France, who is “inspired by US Hip-Hop”. His first EP, called No Future, is out on BeBup music shortly.. the title track is an absolute growler, kicking in arrogantly at about the 2:00 minute mark below. No future ep minimix by ROMA MUSIC He’s also flipped this crunchy garage dubstep track [...]
Colour Coding
Two members of spontaneously combusted youth group Operator Please are back in the saddle creating carefree electronic music with a slight nod to 80′s radio pop: Colour Coding - Perfect by Cosine Records More Colour Coding soon
Softlightes
Poor old Softlightes, looks like Modular wasn’t too amped on their new record. But the good news for you and me (but not you) is that the San Diego twee-popsters aren’t taking this slap to the crotch lying down – they’re going guerilla. They’re printing out flyers and dropping them in the school stairwell. They’re [...]
VEEN
Composed of 2/9ths Ex-Protectors, 2/9ths(?) Ex-Ernest Ellis band, VEEN is showy, cosmic synth-pop that gives a wink and a nod to early Crystal Castles. Brand new Sydney music, see what you make of it: M I N D V I R U S by V E E N 8 B I T L E O [...]
JAGWAR MA
New project from Jono Ma, formerly of The Valentinos/The Lost Valentinos/Valentines Day: The Movie. Here’s something you wouldn’t expect – some riffy beach-side crooner psych, replete with Ghostwood’s leadman on vocals: Come Save Me by Jagwar Ma Does it make you want to wear weather inappropriate clothing and writhe around in the park? Perhaps it [...]
FIREFOX x GHOUL
This got me to thinking, if you were to pitch a web-browser against an undead creature, how would one determine the victor? Pages cached versus limbs severed? Bookmarks stored against humans tainted? It hurts my brain too much to think of, so I’m going to spin this glowing remix from Ghoul instead. Unexpectedly jolly. More [...]
MESAN
A fantastically muscly mini-mix from two deep diving Sydney gents, put together for a gig at the Entertainment Quarter last weekend. Spring Music Promo by Mesan Nothing else to say apart from that really – Mesan OG’s coming soon (I hope)! xMandu
Strange Talk (again)
New single from the boys that did that OOOOOH LIKE CHEATA LIKE A CHEATA LIKE A CHEATA song and the other song about climbing things. I really like it: Strange Talk – Sexual Lifestyle by viceroyalty Strange Talk sow their seed nationwide this November – first gig is tonight at Sovereign Hill in Ballarat. Thursday [...]
ACTIVE CHILD – DIAMOND HEART
Going hard in the paint on Australian radio, Active Child is one of the many, many, many, many artists I’m a little bit amped to see at Laneway Festival this year. After a blinder run for You Are All I See, local label Spunk are a preparing a deluxe edition of the album. Here is [...]
