Oh shit, is it already Friday? I was going to have this post all fancy before I took off but… I leave for vacation next week so I’m dropping it now. Really, words don’t matter. You just need to take a listen. And guys, don’t worry… bigstereo will be on auto-pilot until my return. (If [...]

Ok, like I know you were just getting used to the rave being over. Perhaps, if you live in the Midwest or in Amish country, you might not know that the rave is over. No worries. Klaxons seem to be spearheading a neo-rave movement of sorts. But don’t think lame ass candy ravers waving glow [...]

This track starts out with normal Freeform Five fanfare. Like, you know what to expect with their signature electro-house sound. Except when you’re about to just play it off, they surprise you and lay Alice Smith’s f’ing amazing vocals on top. The track ends up being anything but typical Freeform Five. About three minutes into [...]

We Are Wolves is the one wolf band that I never get sick of hearing from. Their debut is easily still a favorite… even a year later. Not an easy task for a band to pull off.
W.A.W.’s latest video is for the track “LL Romeo” and is directed by Jean-Fraois Caissy. It is a total [...]

Tell me: is this really the video for The Gossip’s “Listen Up”?.. I don’t get it. I guess the lesbos get the video, and the fags get the remixes. I know we’ve already discussed, but isn’t that MSTRKRFT remix fucking delicious?
I do like when they let Beth dance with her pizza.

Love or hate, Test Icicles short career has been material for some stellar remixes. You could say Test Icicles is living an afterlife in remix. Spank Rock brings the latest — a Baltimore-electro infused mix of Test Icicles most solid track, “Circle Square Triangle.” XXXchange turned the angular rock jam into some heavy synth action [...]

What a week… but it’s officially Friday night. Time to start the weekend. Our friends Audioporno sent in their latest mix to share with you all… It’s like Baltimore has been put through a Swiss filter. There are some hot tracks on here… you’ll smile. I promise.
Listen: Audioporno mix (mp3)
I posted an Audioporno track not [...]

An interesting thing is happening my friends. The Stranger (via Arjan Writes) reports that Linus Loves’ “Waterfall” is simply the 10cc version on vinyl played at 45rpm. Well, kind of. Curiousity got the best of me so I ripped the original version of 10cc’s “Waterfall” at 45rpm. I mean… how could one band just play [...]

The Raconteurs “Steady, As She Goes”
Yeah, I probably wouldn’t even normally post this… I mean: Jack White is kind of played out and is totally super creepy. Tell my he’s not super creepy… and not in a good way. But Pee Wee Herman is in The Raconteurs’ video for “Steady, As She Goes.” You know, [...]

This track has been sitting on my desk for way too long… Under Electric Light is a Montreal duo creating some downtempo synth pop rock. More proof that Montreal is still so hot right now… when’s it going to stop? Under Electric Light’s “Night Out” reminds me of some mid-career New Order mixed with all [...]

Ah shiz, my mama’s gonna be so proud. A big thanks to the pop writers over at the Telegraph for including bigstereo on their recent Top 40 list.
A glimpse into the hip young club/gig scene where pop, electro, hip-hop and indie rock collide. The site is written with true youthful enthusiasm, and regularly unearths fresh [...]

Zeigeist is yet another brilliant act from Sweden. If you thought the whole electroclash performance art act was dead, you are wrong. I in fact have been craving more of that and seeing Fischerspooner on tour last time was an incredible disappointment due to low energy and lack of innovative costumes and theatrics. Zeigeist bring [...]
