Catcall
Swimming Pool, undoubtedly one of the Rash’s favourite releases of 2010 has had a summer rerub courtesy of some friends. And possibly some enemies. Maybe. Jump on iTunes you can hear a swag of edits and remixes by a bunch of names, including this fabulous burner from Melbourne’s most under rated electronic outfit, The Emergency [...]
Russ Chimes
The man, the mystery, the very good pool player, the man with the silly camera and a fixy bike, will be on our shores NEXT WEEK as part of Stereosonic 2010. I have it on good authority he’s going to wedgie Tiesto. Check out this smashing mixtape of Russ Chimes originals, remixes and assorted rarities. [...]
Rat Vs Possum
Been meaning to do a post on these guys ever since I worked out I went to school with Daphne from the band, which makes me cooler than thou by association. Rat vs Possum have roamed the country non-stop for several years playing jangly, gang-vocally experimental pop. It’s psychedelic, but not in the scary acid [...]
Alpine
Having chased these cats around for yay upon 6 months we’ve got a new jam to share from Alpine, Melbourne’s latest hypebeast.. known in a past incarnation as SWISS (without the definite article of that Bubble Bath lot). Too Safe is their latest single. A simple, sunny guitar riff leads into hypnotic pop.. it’s a [...]
Russ Chimes – Midnight Club
Rusbo’s triptych, in all their vimeo’d glory, as the artist intended. Sorry we’ve been offline for so long, Electrorash HQ has had domestic internet connectivity issues. We threatened someones’ kids at Internode, so we’re all good now. Back in the game, so to speak. Hey, can’t wait to see the boy Russ at Stereosonic this [...]
Jam Xpress
Andy Murphy, Australia’s No. 2 ranked DJ, is throwing it back at the critics with a healthy batch of original productions set to go. Having worked on successful chart tunes under City Life and Little Rascals, here he’s taken charge with a smooth take on The XX’s anthem ‘Crystallised’. Give it a go: The XX [...]
Opiuo
I can’t say I really dig breakbeat or any of the various bastardisations of drum and bass that seem so popular in Perth, Adelaide, New Zealand and smelly people’s houses. I’ve had dalliances with Way Out West, and Luke’s been schooling me in the art of High Contrast (which has been very pleasant). Pendulum weren’t [...]
Moar Gypsies and Cats
The OG just got dropped our way. Further evidence of Gypsy and the Cat’s looming largeness in the game. Going to be a big year for these boys when they get back to Australia.. What do you think? Have you checked out the remixes yet? Grab the 7″ single from Young and Lost Club right [...]
The Swiss Melbourne Show – This Saturday!
I first got my hands on the Swiss via their first label, Really Real Records. I was so impressed by their understated disco-infused melodies that I bought everything I could get my hands on – which at the time consisted of four different colourways of the Really Real label shirt. I was just as excited [...]
Bikes Rock
The Bicycle Film Festival rolls back into town with the launch night on the 11th of November in Sydney. Think Nicole Kidman, BMX, fixies, bike polo and even recumbent cycling. Yes, even recumbents will be there – for better or worse. To make up for the recumbents the launch night will see Bridezilla, Jonathan Boulet, [...]
Russ Chimes
…is in town and we are beyond excited. Do yourself a big favour and see the saviour of blog-electro at the controls. If you’re lucky he’ll play that Outrunners remix. Catch him around Australia at the following spots: 7 Aug Limelite FREMANTLE 8 Aug Tank SYDNEY 14 Aug Electric Circus ADELAIDE 15 Aug The Prince [...]
Knightlife – Crusader
With his brand-new track, ‘Crusader,’ we can finally catch a glimpse of Knightlife’s second EP, the appropriately titled, II. Melbourne’s Cutters Records will of course be looking after this release, with more news of it to come in the following months. I’d love to gush about how nice this track is (because it is) but [...]
The Punks Jump UP
Punks Jump Up are in Australia at the moment embarking on their first tour for music and their second for pleasure. I was lucky enough to get Dave out of bed to have a chat about what they’ve been working on, their fusion of fashion and music and what they’re plotting this time around. So [...]
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 [...]
