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 [...]
SALEM on Big Love
When people ask which new bands they should be listening to right now, SALEM (and Telepathe) are easily my first response. Their tormented lo-fi electro with its crooked, otherworldy vocals might at times seem an uneasy listen, but there’s so much depth to it, it’s an addictive uneasy listen. Following their first two releases on [...]
Bones Brigade
Alexis Taylor, anti front man of Hot Chip sends his love via this gorgeous version of a song from New Yorker Mike Bones. Alexis Taylor – What I Have Left (mike bones cover) -christen
Kilometre
Like Woah! alter egos Ted & Francis sent over a package entitled ‘Fun for all’. I’m not sure if its fun, but I really like this Tellier remix I found inside. T & F define it as the ‘Chiller’ mix, it contains an extra warm bass line and just enough piano to get you bobbing. [...]
All The Small Things…
I couldn’t decide on something to do a long post about, so I thought I’d give a run down of little things that you can go find out more about yourself: 1) R.I.P The End. (Photo above, courtesy of Nicole at Popscene.nl) 2) Herve has done a rather good dubsteppy mix of the new Lily [...]
No Music
I haven’t posted in ages, and I have no music to share with any of you. But I had a really great time yesterday dancing to Holy Ghost! at the Gold Coast Big Day Out. Aren’t you glad you now know this? -christen
