Chromatics - “In The City” (YouTube)
Demo tracks have been floating around for a while now — but Chromatics’ Shining Violence might be the favorite of 2007. Okay, we’re not even into 2007, and I’m calling best albums which really isn’t fair… but I can’t imagine any album being better. I know I sound like typical [...]

Happy Friday. Here is Amsterdam’s dj duo Dans Le Rock to take you to the new year. There are a couple of our favorite tracks from the past year in this one… along with some new favs. Check it out…

Tracklisting

The Gossip - “Jealous Girls” (YouTube)
I think I have now officially seen the 80’s rehashed one too many times. Oh, this video could be so much better, but at least we can close our eyes.
This was my first pick from Standing In The Way Of Control. Anyone know if “Jealous Girls” is getting remixes?

I’m pretty much posting the Black Lips only because their press photo has a donkey painted like a zebra. Well not exactly true. They’re the Black Lips and have been owning for a while now. Since “Not A Problem” is off of The Black Lips’ 2005 Let It Bloom, you probably are already familiar with [...]

Don Juan Dracula - “Take Me Home” :

I just get so happy when the bunny rabbit meets his own kind. Check out this weird little video from Norway’s glam act Don Juan Dracula. Actually, a few of their tracks are worth loving. Fo reals.

DJ Paul V of the Smash Mix has a special Christmas mix up. The Rainbow Brite Christmas song is the creepiest track ever… but the mix does highlight some the commercial high and low points of Christmas.

I posted “I Wish You A Merry Christmas” last year, but [...]

Paris is doing it again! This time with Minty Fresh band Prototypes. Great Rock N Roll feel with fuzzy guitars, dry humpin beats, and sexy Parisian style. You can go download their EP for free from Minty Fresh: here. Just go to Stimuli.
The blogs are going crazy for them and you can tell why. Nothing [...]

So they never fulfilled my interview and it kinda bummed me out, but I fucking love this video. Great Kylie cover.

I am heading home down south for the holiday’s. So I am taking advantage and spreading christmas cheer to all of you BigStereo fans. Wanna dance with half of your favorite blog on earth? Come check out my DJ sets among other top notch DJ’s of SoCal and Baja.
Let’s party it up!!! Don’t be shy [...]

The Valentinos - “Nightmoves” (YouTube)
I totally thought the new video for The Valentinos’ “Nightmoves” was like some poorly converted flash video or something. But… it’s supposed to look that. I’m slow. After figuring that out… “Nightmoves” is a pretty damn cool video.
And I know most of you have already heard the Bagraiders remix of “Kafka” [...]

We finally finished counting all the votes for the 2006 Readers’ Poll. There were over a thousand votes… so, um. There was a lot of counting. A couple of these are so ‘05, but maybe they were big for you in 2006?
This was fun, we’ll have to remember to do this again in ‘07. Thank [...]

Unfortch rave is back, but if it is reinventing itself like madonna, then I don’t mind so much. These guys were introduced to me by my good friend Sleazemore(watch out for this guy). I checked out their webpage and its quite a hot hoot, go check it out. They’re from London and they rock it [...]
