Washington party starters Starks & Nacey have released a cheeky little EP off the back of their hugely successful Nouveau Riche nights. Not that I’ve ever been or intend on going to said night but that’s what the email said, and in my experience the only thing more trustworthy than an email is a man [...]
Electrorash favourite, Diamond Cut, has very kindly taken time out of his crazy schedule to send us his latest remix, that of British pop duo, Booty Luv’s new single, “Say It.” Dude has totally straightened out the rather textbook original with his driving bassline and those eternally lovely synths that I’ll probably never grow weary [...]
I think one of the best things about the rapid ascendance of this current crop of electro-pop songstresses (see Boots, Little, Goulding, Ellie, The Diamonds, Marina and) is that they are, to a person, proving to be ripe, varied and exciting remix subjects.

‘Reworked’ is the word because Ze Vemixes doesn’t sound like the Van She Tech remixes that went out [...]
Initially I’d observed this year’s escalation of dubstep in a rather disdainful manner, but figured there was only so long I could hold out before I’d start to look like a wilful idiot. I might still look like an idiot for being so reluctant to embrace it in the first place, but at least now [...]
Acquired from the hallowed corridors of the Grindin network,* Reims’ The Shoes have given London’s I-guess-they’re-a-buzz-band-aren’t-they? Golden Silvers the remix treatment with their latest single, Arrows of Eros. It’s all tinny percussion, crunchy guitars and broken vocals, which is admittedly a little unremarkable, and yet it is fun, and The Shoes are nothing if not [...]
This photo notwithstanding, I really like Evil Nine, and have done for quite a while. I was (electronically) coming of age in the nu-skool breaks scene just as their debut album ‘You Can Be Special Too’ really started making waves in late 2003, so from the get go their particular brand of stomping, rock-tinged, snare-kick [...]
