From Adelaide, home of twitterlebrities such The Swiss, Joel Amos and Louis Schofield come electronic duo Mammoth Logic. They’ve got a new jam out, it’s called (ME) and Richard Kingsmill seems to like it. I’m not convinced, but it’s always great to hear new sounds from our fair South Australian buddies. There’s some strong vocal [...]

I have it on very good authority from a friend of a friend who works for a friend who once picked up my friend’s cousin that the lords of electro, Justice, are 100% confirmed to play Field Day (and therefore Summadayze) in Australia this New Year’s. Pen is on paper apparently. I could go ‘oh, [...]

At risk of being taken too literally Kid Adrift took to the waterways of Scotland to piece together their upcoming electronic opus.. and it’s sounding lush Ever the riddler, when Iain sent this video over he also asked what we reckoned these lyrics to current single ‘Oxytocin’ meant. “Oxytocin in my blood, it is all [...]

More eclectic, eccentric and often amazingly beautiful tunes from the connoisseurs at New Weird Australia. If you’re not up on this crew, they’re a collective of dudes from various parts of Australia who irregularly release a compilation of cutting edge noise, pop, dub and ambient electronic music completely for free. Here’s two of my favourites.. [...]

New track from Paul Mac’s other other side-project, Stereogamous who we’ve featured before touching up the recently defunct The Scare. This time it’s a bash of fellow EMI stable mates LCD Soundsystem See what you think, personally the original still pushes all the right buttons.. http://soundcloud.com/theinsound/lcd-soundsystem-i-can-change-stereogamous-remix -Mandu

No way…

seriously… seems ironic they’d spend that much time making something to house a CD. At least put a USB key in it.

Sydney’s next Mad Racket party will be featuring Dutch house weaver and Rushhour regular Tom Trago. Trago’s known for spinning a more sultry brand of house than his gallic bros from further south.. it’s more about groove than sidechain. At a time when ‘Dutch House’ is impregnating the charts with its pitch-house and afrojacks, it’ll [...]

New Chem Bros

First track lifted from their upcoming album Further. High-speed-pursuit techno that’s slightly reminiscent of La Rock 01, but with signature Brotherly bleeps and blops. For me, Chemical Brothers albums are all about that one mellow tune they sneak on each release. The one that resolutely proceeds to kung-pow your brainy bits in to beef jerky [...]

Coin Laundry vs 360

Australian hip-to-the-hopper (and new EMI signing) 360 has made an oddly satisfying booty of Lisa Mitchell’s hit ‘Coin Laundry’ Lisa Mitchell + 360 – Do You Have A Dollar (Coin Laundry) Bit of different spin on, erm, the ‘themes’ of the original but interesting none the less. What do y’all think about hip-hoppers making mad [...]

Rainbow Arabia

I have been meaning to write a post about Rainbow Arabia for quite some time. And now I am. Good lord, what a redundant opening. Not really sure what has precipitated my finally getting around to it; the initial oversight was perhaps more a symptom of having fallen off the music blogging bandwagon than anything [...]
