Back in rotation with a touch of disco-revivalism:

It’s taken a while, and few (literal) stumbles along the way, but Mr Sparrow is back for 2012

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). Check Falling Arrows, a rapid-fire, Chicago-tipping house with an irrepressible, ‘fuck you and put your hands up now thanks’ break.

All the hot news from Russell The Chime on Electrorash, official online media partner of Russ Chimes Industries Pty Ltd.

Blood Diamonds

mandu — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 08:14:20 +0000

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 dreamwave’s standard tropes.

More Blood Diamonds here.

Also – what a dumbo for thinking Google would rank a DIY electronic act over the might of a Leo DiCaprio star vehicle, amirite?

RIP Acid Girls

mandu — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 01:29:19 +0000

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 these songs and think they deserve to be heard.
There is a track which was written in 2006 and is the first song I ever finished in Ableton, and the most recent one was finished just a month or so ago.

Here’s a full album of unreleased Acid Girls goodness. Merry Xmas and RIP.

ROMA

mandu — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 07:28:40 +0000

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.

He’s also flipped this crunchy garage dubstep track called “It’s Okay To Die Young”…. just enough bizarre trills and whistles to keep it out of that pustulating abscess of a genre known as brostep.

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:

Softlightes
mandu — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 07:00:07 +0000


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 sticker-bombing the local Starbucks. They’re hiring a van and painting SOFTLIGHTES on the side panels and driving around densely populated strips of San Diego. They’re making a Soundcloud and saying “Hey Pav, fuck you, this record would have scored you so much rack. So enjoy having slightly less rack than usual, because we’ve gone guerilla and dropped this record FOR FREE”. Read the full story here.
Here’s a few choice cuts – kinda sounds a bit Death Cab. Get in there before the band are prompted to buy a Premium account and downloads cap out:

VEEN
mandu — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 02:21:47 +0000

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:
