Armed with a keytar and a parrot, The Similou are one of the many new electro-pop exports from Sweden. Although released a year ago in their home country, their debut album, So Hot Right Now, is (slowly) starting to catch on internationally. So Hot Right Now succeeds where it fails. The Similou are able to [...]

So I got the opportunity to interview one of my favorite musicians of our time. If I would have known years ago that I would get an opportunity to talk to the man that changed my perception on current music forever, I would have probably gotten nervous and probably would have [...]

It has been raining for almost two weeks here in New England. But today, I woke up and the sun was shining through the window and it looks like the most perfect day outside. “Take It Off” is the perfect track to enjoy a day like today. Upbeat and fresh, this track comes from Bam [...]

You guys know I’m like a total Erlend Øye geek. So it should be no surprise that I am on the edge of my seat for his latest project, The Whitest Boy Alive. I feel like a total fan boy in a super lame way, but oh well.

The Whitest Boy Alive is a slight [...]

Otur, aka Emma Bates, started out in The Lightbulb Project alongside Christina Roos and Hanna Göransson, who both went on to Swedish girl group Cat5. With Bates work as Otur, she creates diy electro-pop with strong dance roots. Initially, it almost seems over the top, really. You might want to write this off as typical [...]

Curtis Vodka has a new remix out for Uffie’s “Pop The Glock” up on his Myspace. This track basically rips apart his original mix… kinda like those crazy pop edits that Dsico used to do. It should probably catch your interest because not only does this remix totally destroy the original, but it totally fucks [...]

Friday homework: Head over to Daytrotter to listen and read about seven exclusive and rare Jason Forrest tracks.

To be fair, my knowledge of Tomcraft starts and stops at “Loneliness.” It’s hard to believe that song is now almost four-five years old. Time flies…

If “Loneliness” was eurodancepop’s answer to electroclash, then DJ Tomcraft’s “Sureshot” could easily be eurodancepop’s answer to grime. Certainly a departure from the club ready “Loneliness”, “Sureshot” is a little [...]

Finland’s Star You Star Me has been putting out minimalistic house grooves for the past couple years now. In 2005, the duo released a trilogy of eps called Star 1, Star 2 and Star 3. This week brought us the end cap to this work — their debut album, Simple Things.
“A Place In My Heart” [...]

I was sitting at work today, and it was just one of those “Feeling Good” type days. Even though my allergies are making me ill and I’m completely broke and my email has been all sorts of fucked up and about a billion other personal things I’m not about to get into, it was a [...]

The Sleepy Jackson’s “God Lead Your Soul” is starting to make the blog circuit. If the track isn’t compelling enough, then the imagery of the video should be. Even though on totally different ends of the spectrum, the video kind of reminds me of something we would see from Fischerspooner: rich colors, high contrast, theatrical. [...]

Ok, admittedly Nelly Furtado’s video for “Promiscuous” left something to be desired. But then a day later she premiered the video for “Maneater” on Germany’s TRL… if “Promiscuous” is how a club video shouldn’t be then “Maneater” is how a club video should be. Whatever, videos aside — both songs are still hot.
We all know [...]
