Watching my creepily skinny naked exboyfriend pretend fucking a girl is kind of grossing me out even though I love the guy, but this song is driving me nuts. I love this track. A little Kate Bush, a little Ssion, and a little La Roux make for a lotta good time. Gay is the new black, get used to it. Check out Actually Huizenga and Chaz Windus’ project Wet Look and Actually’s now donezo project Hard Place’s split coming soon on Winter Palace Records.

Leave it to some boys from the Midwest to remind us how rad guitar rock is… Jaill’s new video has a beach/alien theme which is pretty rad by itself, but throw in some guitars and it’s like woah. No apologies garage rock sound… only makes me want to hear more.

Jaill – “The Stroller”

Debut out on Sub Pop.

I DJed with B-Roc of The Knocks a few months ago. Dude totally blew me away with both his song selection and technical ability. Though I love The Knocks’ single “Blackout,” their new release “Make It Better” was definitely the highlight of the set. The latter dropped today on Neon Gold, and BIGSTEREO is happy to premiere the Emil & Friends remix of the cut. It’s super and tight (and it’s the only remix on the actual vinyl release), so be sure to check it out!

The Knocks – “Make It Better” (Emil & Friends Remix)

Also be sure to cop the original from our friends at the Neon Gold blog and buy the remixes at iTunes. This song is an absolute summer necessity.

New Holy Ghost video! Clap it out!

Teeth will save us all. The Hocus Tocus remix of “See Spaces” is like dropping an eight ball — fucking fuzzed out bliss ready to warp your mind. It’s like falling down the rabbit hole. The way music should be.

The Lilies – teaser

Tahiti Boy is back with a new project that is simply called The Lilies. It features Tahiti Boy and Sergio Dias of Os Mutantes plus the entire Palmtree Family and special guests Iggy Pop and Jane Birkin (imagine trying to coordinate that many bodies!) — interesting, yeah! This is a true collective of creativity. Look for the album out in Europe last week of September on Cooperative Music.

Tonight San Francisco!

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs takes on Tinashé’s single “Saved” off his debut. The world needs more angels, obvs. Pretty straight forward remix as far as TEED goes — but, naw a straight forward disco mix of some smooth pop isn’t a bad thing.

Tinashé – “Saved” (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaur Remix)

…wish everyday was Halloween. Turbotito delivers a smooth slam dunk jam. Dead Man’s Bones has never sounded better…

Scion A/V Garage: Bad Lupo Grande 7″ Trailer

Oh man, finally some music with balls. Luca Venezia of Drop the Lime fame has an interesting new side project called Bad Lupo Grande (uh, or Big Bad Wolf). The first single “Rockabilly Fever” comes out on August 17th by way of Scion. Not sure even with Luca’s backing if rockabilly will be the “next big thing” but it is a much welcomed change in sound in a rather monotone landscape. Leave it to Drop the Lime to shake things up, keep things wild, and show off some well-versed creativity. A very nice surprise… slick back your hair and get ready to riot:

Bad Lupo Grande – “Rockabilly Fever”

We go through the motions… photo, video, copy, hype, mp3. Day after day. Like waves. The tide ebbs and flows. Nothing new. Always the same favors and fake friends.

We’re all Sybarites. We keep wanting more. The music is forgotten.

Hoping that this is something real…

Pacific! – “Venus Rising”

Fresh Sydney label Yes Yes Records is doing everything right it seems. I was very impressed by the Toni Toni Lee release which featured great remixes by Shazam and Pete Herbert. Now their latest offering from Diamond Lights & Amy B has hit my inbox. Its a deep house groover! Add remixes by Roof Light and production heavy weights Azari & III and you have yourself a package worth having! The release is out July 28th on Beatport.

Diamond Lights & Amy B – “Move On” (Azari & III Remix)

Klaxons – “Echoes”

Oh look, a brand new Klaxons video directed by Saam — it’s like 2006 never left us.

I wasn’t sure about “Echoes” at first. But now I’m totally sold. Welcome back guys, it’s been too long.

If there is any hope for bloghouse to be the vogue sound again then it all lies with Teeth. Finally, a natural, much welcomed evolution from the stale beats and distorted synth lines that have been clogging the Internet for the past couple years. Trends aside, Teeth excel on their own merits with “See Spaces” and its b-side, “Time Changes.” Blissed out beats, post-chillwave layers; makes your own teeth chatter with excitement.

Dreamtrak Diamond Sound makes “See Spaces” more club friendly, but the real money is in the original. Though, welcome:

Teeth – “See Spaces” (Dreamtrak Diamond Sound remix)

“See Spaces” out August 16 on Moshi Moshi. Pre-order.

Sunday Girl – “Self Control”

Laura Branigan lives on in Sunday Girl’s cover of “Self Control.” No one is a match to the power of Branigan’s vocals, for sure, but Sunday Girl brings a nice lilt here and keeps the original spirit alive. Azari & III take a darker approach, almost sleazy. The fog rolls in and all self control is definitely lost in this remix.

Sunday Girl – “Self Control” (Azari & III remix)

Single is out August 2nd with remixes from Young Empires, Fenech-Soler and of course, Azari & III.

Oh good day. Because if mp3s were physical then In Ghost Colours would be totally worn out by now. We hate the whole “sign up for a mailing list” approach, but it’s Cut Copy. And this is a wonderful new direction…

Modular back full force.

Young Empires – “AGAINST the WALL”

Fuck yeah, disco punk is back in full force. Nothing better. And Young Empires is leading the pack. “Against The Wall” is coupled with another one of the band’s now signature homemade video’s — this time splicing together the fashion world. But it’s the strength of the track that makes “Against The Wall” a winner; vocals that come like waves crashing against a “get your feet moving” instrumental. Perfect.

Architecture in Helsinki – “That Beep”

Architecture in Helsinki is back with a new Krozm directed video for “That Beep” — a super pop track. Just fun…

I’ve been digging this track and video by The Aikiu‘s for “Just Can’t Sleep”, a little bit of disco never hurt anyone. Alex Aikiu has been described as ‘Madonna with a dick … but with the voice of Simon le Bon’, and I’m not sure I really wanna question it. He’s been working with Pilooski, and Nile Rogers of disco legendary band Chic and I’m sure this is gonna get some noses itching and put some platform shoes to work.

Blissed out, Summer daze. The Bird Day hides well crafted music behind distortion and cymbal crashes. This one cascades through you… can you feel it.
