Turbo Recordings Australian Tour
Tiga’s Turbo Recordings is gracing Australian shores with it’s presence starting this weekend in Melbourne as part of the label’s 10th birthday celebrations. Tiga himself was a little tied up putting together his next album (with Soulwax and Jesper Dahlback) to make it but he’s sent his trusty label mates the Proxy and Thomas Von [...]
El Guincho Sydney Ticket Deal
It’s a sad state of affairs indeed when an act as lovely as Barcelona’s Pablo Díaz-Reixa aka El Guincho, has to sell his already fairly cheap tickets at 2 for the price of 1 just days before his Sydney show at the Oxford Art Factory. His debut album, Alegranza, was one of the most charming [...]
Boys Noize, D.I.M., Fred Falke – Sydney
As the perfect addition to your long weekend plans, The Music People Sydney (website coming soon) will be hosting the above three boys at the Forum on the 25th January. I’ve got my schedule locked in for Big Day Out, and it looks like I’ll be frantically galloping all over the showground with too many [...]
The Spirits
I went to see my brother’s band, The Detours, play at the Art Factory a couple of weeks ago, and was fortunate enough to catch unsigned FBi darlings,The Spirits’ opening set. I spent the entire time making the fairly obvious statement to everyone that, “Shit. These guys are awesome (and I’m getting another wine).” Formerly [...]
Metronomy + Architecture In Helsinki
With all the festival madness going on at the moment I’ve managed to avoid most of the hype and focus on a few key acts I wanted to see. For December it was Whitest Boy Alive who I saw at Nevereverland on Sunday and it was incredible. For January I’ll be checking out Lykke Li [...]
Anoraak’s Christmas Remix
This Christmas, I think I want a couple of pheasants, please. They could live on my balcony, eat corn and snails and things, and they’d be mine. I suppose this remix was always going to happen (for the obvious reasons) and it is, not surprisingly, terribly sweet. Head over to Valerie’s site for details on [...]
Shinichi Osawa – Last Days Video
Shinichi Osawa‘s Last Days is a great mix between sweet, melodic guitar and distorted, driving bass – and the video is no different. Using animated ink drawings the video starts off with blotter paper but turns into repetitive, interacting characters. Like almost all of the videos we’ve been featuring over the last few weeks you [...]
Holy Shit!
…is exactly what I said when I heard this announcement for the second edition of Nevereverland, the festival last year headlined by Daft Punk. When I heard the festival was coming back again I was kind of surprised. Surely you can’t beat Daft Punk, why do it again? Even though this festival isn’t quite Daft [...]
Punks Jump Up
Sure, Punks Jump Up are already pretty well known and respected members of the blogging world fraternity and sure both of these tracks are already readily available on blogs worldwide (you may not have stumbled across them). But you know what? Thats when you say “what?” SOME THINGS ARE WORTH EMPHASISING and this is one of [...]
MISSION CONTROL
Mission Control have begun to create quite the buzz recently, and for good reason, they have signed to etcetc the home of The Knife, Digitalism, PNAU, Mylo and many more. and with a song like this it’s not hard to believe,innerspace-mission-control These Melbourne Boys have the most layed back eclectic feel to them. They throw [...]
MGMT Australian Tour
The Frontier Touring Company has just announced the first Australian headline tour for alt heroes MGMT with shows slated for Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. I am excited to see these guys even though it will be a night surrounded by American Apparel and over-sized glasses. I am just as excited to see supports Tame Impala [...]
PANTHER DLX
These cats hail out of Brisbane and make some seriously catchy tunes, they slide into the current musical climate with enough vigour to take over the world. I’m definitely sensing some all conquering conquests from these guys. Having been selected to participate in the MTV kickstart parties, they follow this with their ep launch(INTO THE [...]
Shadow Dancer Australian Tour
Shadow Dancer is a name that not that many people in Australia are familiar with but who has been rocking the party across Europe for a while now. The Manchester based duo are signed to Boys Noize Records whose motto is probably “the home of the banger”. Their recently released “Cowboiz” E.P. was described by [...]
Aeroplane Australian Tour
Belgium disco mavens Aeroplane are heading to Australia in August for a rash of dates including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide – sorry but no Perth dates. I first got on the Aeroplane bandwagon (and it is fast becoming a bandwagon) last year when I picked up their remix of fellow Belgium duo Das Pop’s [...]
