Sydney’s Pomomofo is set to release their EP In Super VGA — the first single being “Island” with a remix be Toxic Avenger and video by Beaufort. This remix is pretty typical Toxxie… like makes you feel like your eardrums are being rubbed together. Typical in this case is good:

Pomomofo “Island” (Toxic Avenger remix)

And here is Pomomofo’s cover of “White Horse” by Laid Back. Have to say I like Pomomofo’s version better… kinda gives a “House of Jealous Lovers” feel to it.

Pomomofo - “White Horse”

We’ll post up the Beaufort video of “Island” up as soon as it hits the interwebs. From the video stilla above it is probably safe to assume that there will be werwolves. Oh and, Beaufort’s own rework of Pomomofo back here.

Some exciting Little Boots news!! She’ll be releasing her first American EP called Arecibo on IAMSOUND in November! To hype it up Ms Boots dropped a new mixtape on the Internet:

Little Boots - “Computer Fairyland Mixtape”

Little Boots also put up a cover of Alphabeat’s “Boyfriend” on her popular YouTube channel (make sure you subscribe). That’s her little bro on the drums. For real. Like the Partridge family or something.

There wasn’t a tracklisting included with “Computer Fairyland” so I had to transcribe from memory. Fill in the ???’s in the comments.

SPORTSDAY MEGAPHONE - I THINK IT’S LOVE

Skydiving!!

Point your attention to NightWaves, part of the LA collective that is calling themselves Binary. They’re promising to bring “the romance back to LA. A little bit less banger, a bit more 80’s, and a lot of great synth work.” Sounds good to me. There is a Valerie-ish aspect to their music that they’re interestingly calling “Dreamwave.” Dreamwave is the best nu-fake genre name I’ve heard in quite a while.

The Twelves are back with a new mixtape — including some of their new official remixes for Zeigeist and The Virgins. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve headed over to The Twelves’ MySpace to listen to their remix of “Humanitarianism.” Like at least a million. The mix also includes some of their home brews for Radiohead, Lykke Li and Fleet Foxes. Based on their previous Thirty Minutes of the Twelves mixtape, we can assume without listening that this one is nop totch. Yep, it is:

Kinda in love with SMALL. “Comic Girl” kinda reaches the same pop great heights as perhaps Van She’s “Kelly”… like you wanna put this on, open all your windows and scream along. Shitty bit rate but it gives you a decent idea of the epic potentials of this song:

SMALL - “Comic Girl”

I’m also digging this track which also has a Van She remixed by someone else feel to it:

SMALL vs Hippo - “Come Around”

I could only find SMALL for purchase at this Danish MP3 Store — I tried purchasing but they wouldn’t take my credit card and I don’t speak Danish so I dunno. SOOOO if anyone can find a domestic provider I’ll love you forlikever. Googling for “SMALL” is an exhausting process though.

“I Wanna Dance With Somebody” always makes me wanna get super gay and take off my shirt and dance with my hands in the air. It’s a weakness. OCD Automatic exploits this weakness. When I hear this played out I’m gonna embarrass myself sober.

Whitney Houston - “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” (OCD Automatic remix)

The Glamour posted up OCD Automatic’s mixtape up on BIGSTEREO a while back. If you didn’t download it then you can still download it now.

Naughty Nites is three bad ass guys from Denmark who are also members of bands Kiss Kiss Kiss and I Am Elektronik. The vocals on these two tracks are a bit of a distraction from the instrumental… the beginning of “Bad Boy” is kinda solid but there’s an awkwardness with the rest that doesn’t totally do it. Maybe with a guitar base it’d work better but the current juxtaposition leaves a slight uncomfortable feeling. Though, maybe that’s the point.

Anyway.

There’s great potential here for something special:

Naughty Nites - “Bad Boy”

Naughty Nites - “Action Man”

WOW!! I’ve been totally in love with everything WOW has been doing ever since their first songs started popping up on their MySpace — “Icy Cold” is no exception. The track kinda feels like the middle ground between the Presets and Muscles… but infused with some much needed rock and roll that’s been missing in my diet.

WOW - “Icy Cold”

WOW’s “My Holiday In Space” EP comes out August 23rd on Levity Records — an offshoot of a certain jeans company with a very similar name.

I’ve got a little crush on the stuff Boy + Girl are doing. If you haven’t heard of the Melbourne duo, you will soon enough.

Geek Chic Soundsystem’s remix of “Shirly Temple”:

Boy + Girl – “Shirley Temple” (Geek Chic Soundsystem remix)

Boy + Girl’s remix of Melbourne’s Young Lovers:

Young Lovers – “Talking in French” (Boy + Girl remix)

Ssion - “A Wolves Eye”

The only thing more exciting than new Ssion music is new Ssion videos — “A Wolves Eye” is the centerpiece of Ssion’s unique vision. Ritualistic synchronized dancing around a bon fire, wolf men, hellish imagery, and, um, is that a woman in a hood eating smores? It’s awkward, funny, somewhat stylish and totally timely.

Ssion also re-worked a song off an album that shaped my early music tastes… then & now Ssion’s update breathes new life and meaning into “Credit in the Straight World”:

I had to double check our archives twice cause I couldn’t believe we haven’t post Mixhell before. Obvs we’ve been being lazy… especially since the wunderduo has remixed all our favorites countless times. Brazil husband/wife team Iggor Cavalera/Laima Leyton are no strangers to the blogs or parties — here we have them remixed by two of my favorite Brazilians: Database and Bo$$ in Drama. I had to sit on this for a while which was killing me but got the nod today to go ahead and post; so here you go for you!

Mixhell - “Dance or Die” (database remix)

Mixhell - “Dance or Die” (Bo$$ in Drama remix)

Drums of Death is on just about everyone’s short list these days… starting with one of the most blogged remixes of the Summer with Tricky’s “Council Estate.” Well the man, with his own brand of genre splitting music, is gearing to release his ‘Drums of Death Steps into the Ring’ EP this September following up in early 09 with his full length. “Ozzzy” is worth a million dollars — the track starts out slow and then crushes itself into a bunch of ones and zeros. Like an mp3 in a digital storm:

Drums of Death - “Ozzzy!”

Tricky - “Council Estate” (Drums Of Death Remix)

And posted last year on BIGSTEREO — reupped for a little bit:
