Shuv it

February 28th, 2007

I cant shake Santogold out of my headphones, and I cant hold my tongue on this one anymore (which appears to be exclusive at this moment in time). Here is another great tune from our favorite new rude girl. “Brooklyn we go hard, we on the look for the advantage, we work hard.” Santogold- “Shuv [...]

Shout Out Out Out Out + Bang Gang

February 27th, 2007

“Find What You Get” was sent out in one those huge promo list emails, so I’ve seen it on a few blogs now. There’s a good chance you have too. But still, it’s worth mentioning. Shout Out Out Out Out have remixed Iceland’s Bang Gang (not the preferred, much more banging Australian Bang Gang). This [...]

Check Yo’ Ponytail

Check Yo’ Ponytail

February 26th, 2007

Hey! BIGSTEREO is a co-sponsor for Check Yo’ Pony Tail’s Lo-Fi-Fnk show in L.A. We’re huge fans of the Lo-Fi-Fnk… kinda strange that this is our first Lo-Fi-Fnk related post. The night also includes The Young Knives and dj sets by Snowden, Franki Chan and Paparazzi. We have a few ticket spots to give away [...]

Santogold

Santogold

February 26th, 2007

The first time I listened to of Santogold‘s “Creator” I thought I was hearing a new Gang Gang Dance song. Mainly because of Santi’s intense and haunting vocals on the intro, but once Freq Nasty’s BIG break-yo-neck rhythm dropped I knew this tune would be on dance floor repeat for a long time. A bit [...]

Sleazemore and Justin Baum

Sleazemore and Justin Baum

February 26th, 2007

Sleazemore is the man to go to when you want to party it up big time. This guy doesn’t sweat, get tired, or lose his cool. He is my brother from another mother, and he is definetly someone to keep your eyes peeled for. Originally from Florida and imported to San Francisco he has been [...]

Gameboy/Gamegirl

Gameboy/Gamegirl

February 26th, 2007

Okay, Gameboy/Gamegirl is only a couple songs out the gate so any news of anything at all is totally exciting. Their sound has yet to be defined, but there is a pattern starting to emerge: total, pure fun. “Fruit Salad” sounds like Gravy Train doing JJ Fad with a little electro twist. So simple, yet [...]

Miami Horror

Miami Horror

February 23rd, 2007

A few weeks ago I posted that fabulous Gameboy/Gamegirl track and I kinda mentioned Miami Horror in passing. At the time I want to do a full post, but I was pressed for time and you know how it goes… Listen to that synth! I keep thinking that if Justice was fun then this is [...]

Sneaky Soundsystem vs Van She Tech

Sneaky Soundsystem vs Van She Tech

February 22nd, 2007

Sneaky Soundsystem and Van She Tech? Too good too be true. I know we just posted one of their mixes very very recently but this is too good to be missed. Van She Tech is definitely the team to go to if you want a remix done right. These guys are not going anywhere. They [...]

Dandi Wind

Dandi Wind

February 21st, 2007

photo by Matt Irwin I’ll save you from all the obvious Dandi Wind remarks (ie a unitard collection that would make Karen O. jealous)… “Searching Flesh” is the hottest track I’ve heard in for like ever. The more I love something, the harder it is to write about it, and my words degrade to something [...]

New Wave Tuesdays

February 20th, 2007

[BIGSTEREO is proud to present: New Wave Tuesdays, a new weekly column by Missingtoof.com] Today for New Wave Tuesday we have minimal-electro-synth gem Mary Moor’s ‘Pretty Day’. Sparse beats, macabre lyrics sprinkled with electronic accents. ADULT.’s ancestor? Pretty Day is not your traditional 80′s pop, new wave but it came out during the era where [...]

VansheTech vs UtahSaints

VansheTech vs UtahSaints

February 20th, 2007

I’m gonna assume you don’t read Fluokids and/or that you somehow missed this track in your post-Valentines Day love haze. “Something Good” is further proof that VanShe Tech is the just about the best remixer on the planet… eh, this mix has the potential to seriously wound people on the dance floor. Utah Saints have [...]

Kiiiiiii

February 19th, 2007

Kiiiiiii might be the biggest wtf moment since like ever. There’s a lot to say about this band but I’ll keep it simple: you must check them out. You’re either going to instantly love or instantly hate. There is no middle ground. Total Japan art rock gone… extreme. This is a lazy comparison that isn’t [...]

SXSW

February 19th, 2007

The “official” schedule for SXSW has been announced — which of course totally has us psyched. IHEARTCOMIX and AM ONLY have the best showcase planned for Thursday night — and all under one roof. There’s no excuse to be anywhere but the Beauty Bar on 3/15… a ton of BIGSTEREO favorites. Like, woah. mp3s via [...]

Shy Child

February 17th, 2007

Shy Child – “Drop The Phone” (YouTube) New Shy Child!! Not much to say about the video, but the track itself is pretty happening. “Drop The Phone” might be their most solid work yet though it’s hard to imagine them surpassing their brilliant debut.

Shakes

February 16th, 2007

Ok, I know I just posted Shakes a couple weeks ago, and it’s way too soon to be doing another post. But this song is just way too good not to go nuts for… and it’s Friday! “Disneyland Vacation” explodes… it’s totally out of control. We’re digging this track like twenty times more than “Sister [...]

Snowden

February 15th, 2007

Atlanta’s Snowden has a new remix ep of tracks re-worked from their album Anti-Anti. A couple of the tracks are familiar… like their (originally Kill Peaches) cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” and Le Castle Vania’s “Black Eyes” remix (that we were so playing out this past summer). Jordan’s alter ego Stutter has created a dance [...]

Robyn

February 13th, 2007

Robyn – “Konichiwa Bitches” (YouTube) Robyn’s “Konichiwa Bitches” has been bouncing around the internet for a couple years now… never seeing an official release until recently. It’s perfect little slice of internet rap and the first single off her new self titled due out this spring. Menta’s remix is pretty damn happening too… I played [...]

Lazaro Casanova

Lazaro Casanova

February 12th, 2007

I haven’t had the chance to meet Lazaro Casanova in person yet, but the guy seems so genuine and relaxed that it seems like a shame for everyone not to know who he is. Apart from DJing and remixing for the likes of The Knife and recently MSTRFKRFT he is now creating his own music [...]
