On Young Love’s Myspace, he lists his influences as: “Zoot Woman, Pheonix, Bloc Party, Bowie, Michael Jordan, that one jam by Nu Shooz, m83, Kraftwerk, Thriller, Air.” That should get your biz excited, no?
This is so hot right now. Weird Science’s mix of “Discotech” has achieved a perfect hybrid NY/LA sound… seriously if I had [...]

Hey. Check out the new video for The Valentinos’ “Man With The Gun.” The track is off of their debut ep which was produced by K.I.M. of The Presets. Finally, some electro rock that isn’t afraid to rock.
The band is set to release their second ep soon… produced by Pnau.
You can stream and buy [...]

I don’t care what you say. Played out or not, ironic or not: I will never tire of mash-ups. Never ever.
The latest from DJ Paul V. pairs up Gary Glitter and Peaches. He points out some obvious Gary Glitter influences going on in Peaches’ “The Boys Wanna Be Her.”
Best when played loud:

DJ Paul V. - [...]

Well, well. The artist formally known as Bitch Lap Lap. I have never been totally sold on Feist. Lovely voice. Interesting friends. But it feels like she plays it safe way too often. I find myself wishing and waiting for whatever inspired Bitch Lap Lap to wear hot pink spandex pants. Unfortunately, this is not [...]

I posted a track back in March from Zetena. Recently, he sent in another one from a project he’s working on with some friends.
There’s some feel good madness going on with this track. At the 1:21 mark it totally reminds me of some kind of warped 70s/80s game show theme song. I imagine Vanna White [...]

Spektrum is on the verge of releasing one of the best albums of the year. I haven’t even heard it yet, but I can tell you that I have not heard one song of theirs I did not like. On the site it claims it will be released at the end of the summer, but [...]

Anyone familiar with Rudyard Kipling’s short story “How The Leopard Got Its Spots”? Short story even shorter: Leopard can’t catch Zebra and Giraffe because they camouflage into the jungle. This is like before Leopard has spots, and he’s just unicolor. So anyway. Leopard is all annoyed so Man paints some spots on him, and then [...]

Remember the first time you heard “House Of Jealous Lovers” and your head exploded and you had one of those totally rare aha moments? “Gravity’s Rainbow” has been doing that for me… every single fucking listen. Everything is coming together.
Van She’s remix of Klaxon’s “Gravity’s Rainbow” is one of those rare occasions when the [...]

A Peaches remix of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? I know, I know. You’re thinking that you accidently time warped back to 2001. But no. We’re halfway through 2006, and this year seems to be shaping up a lot like ‘01. To my knowledge this is the first Peaches remix that she did not drop her [...]

No matter how many times it’s done, I will never tire of artists sampling or remaking Corey Hart’s “Sunglasses At Night.” Hart’s classic was the ultimate bad ass fashion statement. And the quintessential 80’s attitude that has been able to cross generations and genres.
Tiga’s now classic electro cover in 2001 was filled with both [...]

My love for You & The Atom Bomb has flickered off and on over the past year. Not that their music has been inconsistent. My taste is just not always consistent. You & The Atom Bomb’s “Mudwig Bahnhoff” is so fucking on… sounding part Talking Heads, maybe a bit Maximo Park, definitely their own thing [...]

The video for “Work On You” may be the best thing I’ve ever seen. I never, never get sick of robots. Especially sexy robots. Both the song and video certainly have a Daft Punk feeling to it… like Interstella 5555 or something.
Ecard here.
