Transformer di Roboters

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

Here’s a fun little club track for you. Check out the Metro B and Maslopè remix of Transformer di Roboters’ “Hi End.” Love how the vocals weave in and out of that heavy bass. Just a fun, harmless tune put out on Metrohead records. It’s available now on 12″ and will soon be released on [...]

The Knife have a new album coming out this year titled “Silent Shout”, they have a single out titled the same. I haven’t heard the new album yet but I am sure everyone is as excited as I am to get their hands on it. All I have found so far is a preview of [...]

New Young Pony Club

New Young Pony Club is an amazing band with a whole lot of potential. They have only released four songs in one year, but are in the process of recording a full length. The four songs released are incredible songs that really pack a punch. If you have heard of one of my favorite bands [...]

I recently received an email from DJ Paul V. who hosts Smash Mix every Friday on L.A.’s Indie 103.1 fm. His sets are fun, 20 minute hyper mixes that blend together pop, indie, hip-hop and new wave. If you like the bands we host here on bigstereo then you’ll love these mixes. Paul V. will [...]

Test Icicles
