In 2005, Kitty-Yo started a sub-label called Kitty-Cuts which focused on releasing above par club tracks. “Cuts & Pieces” is the product of that. Kitty-Yo/Cuts recently chose to release a CD compilation of rare and exclusive tracks and remixes to showcase their roster.
Compilations are always hard to post about because it’s hard to choose [...]

The Vibration is the soul clash that my heart was needing on this snowy, cold winter night. Their press release compares them to Sleater-Kinney, The Gossip and Siouxsie & the Banshees, but you know press releases — full of grandiose statements that rarely hold. Well, this time the comparisons are dead on. This post-punk, post-riot-grrl [...]

Friday = Lazy blog post.
I’m not sold on Jeff Saltzman’s production, but I’ve been giving The Sounds’ new record a lot of spin as of late. Always happy to see the return of a favorite band.
Listen: The Sounds - “Painted By Numbers” (mp3)

Oh it’s so hot right now to post pre-Madonna Stuart Price tracks. Isn’t it?
I had to go into the vault for this one. My first introduction to Les Rythmes Digitales was by way of his remix of Beck’s “Mixed Bizzness”… way back in 1999. I might still have it on 12″ somewhere. Really, this remix [...]

1) iTunes has an “exclusive” Postal Service remix of Feist’s “Mushaboom.” Kind of “funny” considering the Postal Service’s most recent hissy fit with Apple…
2) Goldfrapp’s “Ooh La La” is the free download of the week.
3) You’ve heard Diplo’s mix. You’ve heard the original version. Now hear what Nick (Zinner) has to say about “Gold [...]

Yo. Put Peach in the mix. I’ve been trying to hold onto this one for a while now, but I can wait no longer. Mr. Oh?!, this track is for you.
Dim Mak have released the first of their “Connect The Dot” series: the Bloc Party “Helicopter” remix single sporting remixes by Diplo, Weird Science and [...]

It’s a bit surprising that I never wrote about one of my favorite albums last year — Maxïmo Park’s A Certain Trigger. Maybe I read too much praise about it, and really, what did little ol’ me have to add to the chorus?
This track is off the latest UK single, “I Want You To Stay.” [...]

Here are a couple of mash-ups to brighten your Sunday.
The first one comes from bigstereo friend, DJ Paul V.
Listen: Dj Paul V. - “Cheneys Got A Gun” (mp3)
… too funny. And while you’re at it play the Cheney Quail Hunt Game.

The second mix comes from Peter aka del piero. Ok so V-day was last [...]

This group from Philadelphia are sure to be on top ten lists for this year. Their album titled ‘Yoyoyoyoyo’ is set to be released this spring on Big Dada Records. The album as a whole is incredible, their style is so unique and breaks all the rules as far as a hiphop and rap go. [...]

Like Franz and Shape before him, Kavinsky takes on high speed driving, house beats, and arpeggios with his track “Testarossa Autodrive.” After dying in a car crash in 1986, he is a zombie, and that means two things: he eats brains, and you don”™t want to be in the passenger seat.
Although, [...]

Music from Sweden always defines generations. You ask for proof? ABBA and Max Martin. Well add the Ark to that list because they’re about to take over.

The Ark is one of those bands that hype has slowly been building and building and building around. I have to admit I was kind of waiting on the [...]
