  DCup Remixes The Heat
  Remix, Short Post, Sydney, Video (4)

  Not one word. Now I’m going to get a little bit Sydney on your arses with this post, because The Heat are a notorious Sydney-based duo, and they’ve just been remixed by the similarly-based DCup aka Duncan MacLennan. I'm all excitement over this one. The Heat - The Celebration (DCup Remix) Thanks, Blouse. Oh and the dogs have nothing to do with anything, but you can't argue with cute things in large quantities, or the irony of the snow. In hindsight I probably should have posted a bunch of big-eared desert mice instead. Bonus: Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill (The ...

  Redial Ghost EP
  Release, Remix, Sydney (4)

  “Who the fuck is this kid?” was the first thing I said when I saw Redial play in Sydney a while ago. As much as this question appears to spring from disgust, it was actually out of awe, because this guy is a sharp producer. He’s had recommendations from the likes of Nicky Van She, JFK and Danger, and holds a coverted spot on Ajax’s Sweat It Out roster, along with other local favourites such as Miami Horror and Gameboy Gamegirl. He’s just released his debut EP, Ghost, last Saturday, and it has that eerily dark and swirling synth-laden quality ...

  The Rogue Element
  Melbourne, Perth, Remix, Sydney, Tour (4)

  I'm pretty sure The Rogue Element was the subject of my very first post for this fine blog, all the way back in November. Well, I assure you that my love has waned naught in the interim, even if he hasn't put out a wealth of new material over the last six months. More excitingly though, is the fact that he's coming to town this month, kicking off his Australian tour this weekend with gigs in Perth and Sydney. Less excitingly, I miss these gigs due to a holiday with friends, but that's no excuse for you to do likewise. ...

  Institubes in Sydney
  Sydney, Tour (5)

  Next Friday night the crew from Institubes will be playing at one of my favourite places in the world - The Oxford Art Factory. The aptly named Institubes Paris Terror Club, which features Surkin's scruffier adopted little brother, Bobmo, plus DJ Orgasmic, and Alex J. Murphy aka Das Glow, will be finishing up their one-week Australian tour in Sydney with the help of local kids, Beni from Riot in Belgium and the Bad Teeth DJs. It's not every day we get an Institubes tour down here, so make the most of it by picking up a ticket for $35 here. ...

  Ellen Allien/Modeselektor/Lindstrom
  Melbourne, Perth, Remix, Sydney, Tour (8)

  Finally, something to spice up the general monotony of Perth nightlife - a night devoted to reasonably monotonous Germanic techno. Yay! Tonight down at Shape we have all three of the above mentioned Berliners swinging through town for a 'Beck's Fusion' session - close to the only proper techno evening this town has seen in a good solid year or so. I didn't manage to frequent any of the famous Berlin clubs in my brief time there, which I kinda regret now, but hey, I'm sure this will recreate the non-stop 24 hour party mayhem that is a night out ...

  VHS Or Beta - Half Price!
  Sydney, Tour, what? (3)

  I guess this is one of those situations where you just go along with it and don't ask why. Signalling the return of good bands touring down here after a brief period of near nothingness, VHS Or Beta are doing some sideshows around Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney before headlining the Sydney Festival, Come Together (*cough* mediocre *cough*). For their Sydney show on the 6th June at the Factory Theatre in Enmore, VHS Or Beta have inexplicably offered a limited number of 2 for 1 tickets, so you can pick them up for just under $20 each. Not bad value really, ...
