Wax Motif
Well this is a bang0r if I ever heard one. Rave cave material; I spy shiny speleothermic mineral deposits of up-front riddim hanging from the roof, dropping slippery techno residues onto the chamber floor. Waxy is busy – an established Sweat It Out playa, he’s got releases penned for Southern Fried and CR2 in 2011. [...]
Tim and Jean
Fuck the Similou rip-off allegations, where the fizzle did that band go anyways? Up their own high-pitched egos I guess. This is the current single for Tim and Jean (which is pronounced Gallic-like, not like a nice pair of denims). Shot in the desert around Coober Peedy, Australia and directed by Stuart Bowen. That ‘I [...]
Feral Media vs LOFLY
This year I’ve been doing some presenting (at obscene hours) for Sydney’s flagship music station FBI. One of the great things I’ve taken away from this is a new found appreciation for the diverse and deep array of electronic music coming out of Sydney and Brisbane at the moment. Collectives – as much as the [...]
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. [...]
Cosmonaut
Like some kind of flammable bird that’s been set fire, but rather than dying, it transmogrifies from ash into an even better bird – so rises Cosmonaut From where? From whom? From Sydney, yes. But Sydney is large, no? Yes it is. I’ll never tell. But when I do, you’ll know all about it. Until [...]
SYDNEY BLOG PARTY
For the first time EVER in the HISTORY of ANYTHING, Sydney's longest running music blogs are banding together for a night of making party at the recently reopened GoodGod SmallClub. Featuring DJ sets from some blog faves including MATT VAN SCHIE, TED AND FRANCIS and DANIMALS
Fishing
Happy Wednesdays launches at Spectrum, Oxford St, Sydney this Wednesday. Curated by those legit cats at Select Music, expect the best new Sydney music week in week out accompanied by bleeding ears from Spectrum’s screeching low slung cans. Alex and the Ramps, Shady Lane and Fishing front the opening night. But lend me your ear [...]
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 [...]
Catcall
Catcall is back, and I couldn’t be happier. With GLOVES at the wheel of her new single, Swimming Pool, the grooves are mellow but the chorus goes boom. Can’t wait to see her at the GoodGod danceteria this Saturday in Sydney. PLUG. I’ll be there, as will Alpine, not just in eccentric, ecstatic band form, [...]
More from Idea Idea
Sydney electro-trippers Idea Idea have made a spectacular clip for their new single Set Sail. Featuring the always devine Lanie Lane and a range of vintage keys on the bottom of a pool, it’s a pretty spectacular affair for such a new band, and, based on what I’ve seen, just a hint of the wildness [...]
Castratii
Castratii have emerged from the mysterious misty mists of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales. I don’t really know much about them – apparently they all play in a few bands around town and have recorded as Castratii for about a year. They’ve got a blog, but that doesn’t tell you much either. At [...]
World Bar, Sydney, Tonight
Electrorash mood selectors from 2:30 til silly-o-clock in the band room, so come say hi. You can also catch these silly munchkins Idea Idea. A kinda wonky dubstep performance troupe featuring the unique vocals of Lanie Lane and a bunch of people in weird costumes. Pretty eye-opening. “idea idea” Live from idea idea on Vimeo. [...]
Keep deep
Trust it taking a couple of english ex-pats to deliver a proper deep night to Sydney… CO-OP have been running night’s in the harbour city for a year now, one of a select bunch of party crews who bolster Sydney’s dance scene against the ravages of electro mediocrity. They’ve hosted acts like MCDE, The Revenge [...]
