These guys are such a delight – easy, breezy listening. Comparisons to Phoenix are inevitable and deserved… but :Kinema:’s lyrics actually make sense. I mean – you notice when you’re at a Phoenix gig or listening to a track at ‘teh club’, everyone in unison is screaming ‘baby when I saw you turnin’ down the [...]

Another stellar indication of the US’s healthy underground scene drops tomorrow – we checked out a crew from Boston last week, now we’re heading to Chicago. Ghetto Divison is a new label featuring established and fledgling contributors to the Chicago underground rave sound. Their first release is a compilation boasting house monsters from Rob 3, [...]

I loved Exceeder. I loved it so much. I even liked it a little bit when Princess Superstar made that terrible bootleg. But they’ve been hit and miss since then – popping into the electro camp one minute for some tea and glowsticks, then heading straight over to tech’s house for a couple Stellas and [...]

Proper Villains – Big Top Grab the full release from Beatport, which features a 4 industrial [...]

SECT

A new collaboration featuring members of of this year’s hardest working house duo Soul Clap and part-time DirtyBirders Tanner Ross + Sergio Santos. Here’s a free taste of this sexy union’s capabilities. We’re right into deep and grooving house territory, but SECT maintains that creepy grit and tension to keep me pumping like Reeboks. SECT [...]

Sticking to what they know best…. and absolutely killing it: Grab an MP3 for free over at UnderworldLive.com. Underworld play the We Love Sounds Festival in June. See you there for sky-kissing, hand-holding and general denial that the 90′s ever finished. -Mandu

I am so hungry right now, I’m literally salivating looking at the words on the screen. Sweat It Out’s in-house swamp riddim expert, Pablo Calamari, has released an entire EP of riddim. Four riddims to be exact, each tacking their cue from classic house samples. Here’s my favourite example – it’s called Zombie Riddim and [...]

Human Life – In It Together

Written by ned. Filed under Release, Remix. Tagged , , . 3 Comments.
I woke up fucking early this morning and plugged these remixes in. I’d watched the video earlier in the week, Electrorash writer Luke’s chop-up is in it, and heard massive things about the Polygon Palace remix. Human Life – In It Together (Acid Girls remix) Human Life – In It Together (Polygon Palace remix) <= [...]

As you could probably tell from this post, I had no end of love for Fuck Button’s ‘Tarot Sport’ last year, and even went so far as to crown it my Album of the Year to anyone who’d listen. And I’ll tell you something for nothing, sure it can be kinda tough to pin them [...]

The new single from Matt’s sunny debut EP ‘Balmy Nights’ is called Journey. Produced by Mikey Di Francesco and Diamond Cut, it’s glorious vintage pop with kicks and basslines that roll on and on into the distance. More M83 than the playful pop of ‘Saturday Night’ – Matt’s voice was made for slow jams like [...]

I was personally branding myself/reading an article in Vice magazine the other day about obese Asian gentlemen who buy large pillows of popular hentai characters. This upset me greatly, so I put the magazine down and made a delicious ham sammich instead. If I was going to marry a cushion or other soft derivative thereof, [...]

Plugs

New sketchy, choppy, dance-like-a-boom-gate jams from London’s Plugs. Plugs – All Them Witches (Original) This, apparently, is the new release from an upcoming EP slated for June, which must mean things are slowly turning up again on Plugs-land. We know how much Does It Offend You Yeah? love Australia, they seem to gig here every [...]

Now, i’ll be the first to admit I don’t quite ‘get’ HURTS. I see what they’re trying to do, I just don’t know if I like it that much. Wonderful Life makes me think of George Michael for some reason. That’s not a bad thing necessarily, Kitsune and Sony obviously don’t think so either… Hurts [...]

The Glitch Mob Album is COMING!

Written by luke. Filed under Release. 2 Comments.
My last post on The Glitch Mob, wasn’t exactly high on subtlety when it came to my my feelings regarding the West Coast’s premiere glitch trio (currently comprising of edIT, Ooah and Boreta). The phrases “the best and most exciting dance music I have heard all year” and “completely reformatted my approach to dance music” [...]
