Computers Want Me Dead
Ignore the derivative, En Zed made video clip. This song from New Zealand’s ‘Computers Want Me Dead‘ is amazing: Someone sign them and force them to change their name stat. -Mandu
Fuck Buttons x Spaceman
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 [...]
STREAMBOAT
You remember La Mode? Those precocious young scamps behind one of the most popular bootlegs of the bloghause era? They’re back, kind of, in mysterious black n’ white / large font format. What does this mean? After what? Afternoon, afterlife or just after tonight’s episode of House MD. I will continue to agitate for something [...]
Roxanne’s Third Birthday
Melbourne’s premiere alt-electronic hub Roxanne has come a long way over the last three years, going from being a semi-derelict, fifth floor fire trap to being a semi-derelict, fifth floor fire trap with a lift, an absolutely kicking soundsystem and an impeccable line in local and international DJs and events. Boy, the number of brain [...]
Modeselektor Radio
New radio show from Electrorash’s all time super faves – Modeselektor. Always quality jams. Exciting stuff from Siriusmo and a SBTRKT remix of BOTH Art and Cash. Zany. Stream below Setlist through the jump
Radio 2ManyLCDSoundsystems
For the first time ever, 2ManyDjs are teaming up with LCD Soundsystem (James and Pat) for a three hour slam-fest, live on triple j radio. It kicks off from 10:00pm this Friday 8th on your wireless or streaming online. The four guys will be going back to back, swapping records and running commentary on their [...]
Bloody Beetroots vs Cassette Kids
Exciting collaborations afoot during this year’s Stereosonic circus! On a dark and stereotypically stormy night, Bob Rifo (the man in the silky mask), took time out with indy darling Katrina of the Cassette Kids (she’s in the background there) up in Byron Bay. They shacked up for a week or so and in between the [...]
Midnight Juggernauts new album ‘TNT’
Or ‘The New Technology’.. kinda like the ‘The Energy Never Dies’… album doesn’t hit til early 2010, so there’s still time for at least a dozen more cheesily acronym’d rekkids to hit before Christmas. Please don’t become a trend Good excuse to have a tour, dates after the jump:
Delorean – The Ayrton Senna EP
It took its sweet ass time, but finally, oh so finally, Delorean’s (previous posts here, here and here… Yeah, I kinda like them, hey) stonking new Ayrton Senna EP has dropped on Fluo Kids’ excellent Fool House imprint. The name, as much as anything, seems like a bit of a nod of the head to [...]
Starks & Nacey
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 [...]
Third time lucky?
Duran Duran did it back in 1998 with Night Versions. Soulwax did the same in 2005 with their own Nite Versions. It is 2009 and Van She have ‘reworked’ their debut album, V, into Ze Vemixes. ‘Reworked’ is the word because Ze Vemixes doesn’t sound like the Van She Tech remixes that went out with [...]
No Sense in Moderat(ion)
I have no end of love for German electronica maestros Modeselektor, and am at least moderately fond of German minimal/IDM don Apparat, so when I heard that they were rekindling their German collaborative project Moderat (geddit? It’s a portmanteau!) I was very, very excited. So excited that I may have actually fallen off my chair. [...]
Jesse Rose + Zombie Disco Squad + Oliver $ = STROBE
Every time I look at the title of this blog, my mind flies back to the heady days of 2007; the year when electro first exploded into the mainstream, propelled forward on a wave of stomping house beats spliced with synth-rock and electroclash sensibilities. I remember thinking at the time how amazing it was that [...]
