  Supermayer Go Acoustic (Sort Of…)
  Remix, Short Post (0)

  Not that I thought I'd see myself doing requests, but my interest was piqued when I received an email asking about minimal mega-teamSupermayer's remix of the seemingly everywhere 'Heart's a Mess' by Melbourne's Gotye (the exceptional Ocelot remix of which has been previously profiled here). A little bit of exploration later and I discover not only that particular gem, but also Supermayer's similarly under-publicised remix of Rufus Wainwright's 'Tiergarten'. And best of all, they're both stunning. And epic. The Rufus one clocks in at 13 minutes. Whew. Perfect fodder for your Saturday afternoon. Settle in with some chocolate and wine ...

  Plimsouls Saves The Day
  Remix, Short Post (6)

  It's safe to say I've had better weeks. Finding out that the tumour growing on the top of my right lung was essentially inoperable did not, it must be said, make for an overly enjoyable Wednesday afternoon. 'Essentially' in that it is operable, but any operation would require the removal of my right arm from the shoulder down. Which is not the most palatable concept I've ever been presented with. So instead I've opted for more chemo, and the long-term uncertainty that comes with leaving a hopefully dormant tumour inside your body. Fun times. And I was kinda down about ...

  Happy Easter!
  Short Post (2)

  So I Google-Imaged 'evil bunny' and this is what came up. I don't get it. But ok, I did grow up with Watership Down, and those rabbits were nothing but tiny, long-eared, forest-dwelling satans who liked to chew each other's faces off... Now I get it. I knew a girl in highschool whose parents gave her pyjamas every year for Easter instead of chocolate. What a shit substitute. She wasn't even allergic.

  Bandit
  Release, Short Post (0)

  More blistering Frenchness, this time from self-described 19 year-old 'student in politics (France), beginner in electronic music' Bandit, a currently unsigned but nonetheless awesome French kid with a knack for making melodramatic, melody heavy electro-funkers with breakdowns to die for. Well, maybe not actual death, but I'd definitely consider taking a bullet for them. Through the arm or shoulder. Somewhere non-vital... Yeah, that seems about right. So, um. The music: Bandit - Gas [MediaFire] Bandit - BSE [MediaFire] He's vaguely promising a new track this month, so keep your eyes on his MySpace for future goodness. And in case you're wondering, the man trying ...

  How Many Tracks Do You Have?
  Short Post (14)

  I was actually thinking the other day about how much music I have on my hard drive that I never listen to. There is quite a bit in there that I almost always skip over when it comes on. That said I have never been able to bring myself to delete any of it. That would be madness! Like the 2 demos I got in 2006 from some dudes called Midnight Juggernauts. I didn't know who there were but it sounded cool. Now you can't get that shit anywhere (the demos, not Midnight Juggernauts, you can get them in Europe and ...

  DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist Tour
  Melbourne, News, Perth, Short Post, Sydney, Tour (2)

  Not strictly electro or indie news but certainly for fans of these genre-spanning DJ's this is news you don't want to miss. Previous DJ Shadow tours have sold out really quickly so get your tickets ASAP if you don't want to be left out in the cold. I imagine he will probably play his reworking of Children Of The Mission - Tears by Giorgio Moroder. Also known as Organ Donor. xox nek
