Peaches - “Get It” (YouTube, thank you GSD)
The best Peaches ever — so perfect. Kinda reminds me of one of Adrian Piper’s early art projects… or maybe just a modern retelling of Rapunzel. I would’ve loved to witness the random people who witnessed the filming of this…
Woah, I am in blogglove. Le Corps Mince de Françoise is so fucking wacky. Perhaps CSS would’ve nerded out like this had they been born in Helsinki. Or they kinda remind me of Chicks on Speed re-imagined for 2010. And yeah, well it may be way too early to declare this, but Le Corps Mince de Françoise is my new favorite band even with only one song on their MySpace. “Cool and Bored” is just waiting to be the hipster anthem… watch out:
“Cowboiz” is one of those records you’re gonna end up hearing everywhere… and is the next single release on Boys Noize records — Dolby Anol had a take at the Shadow Dancer track and came up with something perfect. Due to timing, the remix didn’t quite make it onto the single, but aw — that’s why we’re here. Kids, go crazy to this:
Shadow Dancer - “Cowboiz” (Dolby Anol brokeback remix) (mp3)
I dunno if we’re more excited to have a new Annie single or a Get Shakes remix. Probably the latter, but Annie is alright too I guess. Anyway, this was sent out to all the blogs today so it’s the must listen for May 7th:
Annie - “I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me” (Get Shakes Remix) (mp3)
Look for other remixes by Feadz and Session. Album Don’t Stop out July 7th — produced by Timo Kaukolampi and Richard X.
Hugh Frost is back under his moniker Sportsday Megaphone with a new
single and debut album set for release this summer on Sunday Best. “Young Lust” is the perfect song heading into summer for anyone looking to score their first love. Total flashback for anyone else. Something perfect and timeless about this one:
Sportsday Megaphone - “Young Lust” (mp3)
The seven inch single “LA”/”Young Lust” comes out June 16th. Look for the album So Many Colours / So Little Time in August 08… w/ more singles and remixes by Maps, South Central, Copy, E*Rock and many, many more.

Salem has been blipping on and off the radar for a few months now. Totally bizarre — one of those bands you listen to and say, “why isn’t everyone doing this?” Like so simple and unique that a genre explosion is sure to follow after.
Salem - “Brustreet” (mp3)
You can pre-order their EP on ACEPHALEU — 7 inch limited to five hundred copies. It is gonna sell out.
Dear Debbie Harry, What could I say on BIGSTEREO that would even being to measure up to the icon that you are… I’m just gonna end up sounding like a total fanboy and embarrass myself for like ever. Debbie Harry has been writing and recording some new tracks, and “Fit Right In” is from these sessions. Total straight up dance pop that should have Kylie and Madonna shaking in their boots:
You guys know my love for this band, I don’t have to go into detail. I’m anticipating the full length and good news is it’s almost here. Here is the video to their single ‘My Heart Rate Rapid’ directed by BigStereo friend and sister in crime Dandi Wind. She never disappoints.
Which house party would you rather be at??
Lady Gaga’s party looks like the party after the Skins kids are done… and only the creeps are still out. Total rip off right down to the mascot bear. And doesn’t the first 10 seconds synth sound like it could be a direct rip from Matt & Kim? LADY GAGA = TAME. Calvin Harris steals my heart but I think it is the Skins kids plus the Gossip who really know how to throw it down.

Beaufort is Quincey Beaufort and Brigitte LeGrand. There music is pretty special. Quincey tells me there will be a proper blog appearing soon to track Beauforts creative process. As these two cool cats are filmmakers as well I think it will be a blog worth a look.
Beaufort – “I Don’t Wanna Die” (mp3)
Beaufort – “Fuck the Google” (mp3)
And this Susumu Hirasawa remix is one of my favourites:
Susumu Hirasawa – “The Girl in Byakkoya” (Beaufort remix) (mp3)
And this is a Pomomofo rework which Beaufort translated into French and rerecorded. Did someone just say genius?
Bitchee Bitchee and Ya Ya Ya have been busy working on their debut album, and they were kind enough to drop us a little teaser from it. “Love Beauty #1″ isn’t as distortion heavy as “Fuck Friend” — it’s more like its distant surf influenced cousin. I imagine a big dance number to this one with ladies dressed in feathers. Nice surprise from BBYYY who promise a lot more surprises ahead…
Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya - “Love Beauty #1″ (mp3)
Ah, and this an oldie by blog standards, but a favorite still. A while back Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya remixed Apache Beat for Summer Lovers, check it:
Apache Beat - “Tropics” (Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya remix) (mp3)

Purple Crush - “Shopping on the Dance Floor” (YouTube)
“Shopping” was heard on Purple Crush’s “Welcome 2 Emo-Club” ep last year… well now the track has gotten the video and remix treatment from AC Slater, Mike Genius, Krames and Shir Khan. Rad. This song is so easy to like… such a sing a long and easy fav.
Mike Genius is the first artist on Purple Crush’s label Crushed (besides Purple Crush, of course). We think his remix is swell:
Purple Crush - “Shopping On The Dance Floor” (Mike Genius rmx) (mp3)
Purchase at Turntable Lab and iTunes.
