Shuv it

Wednesday, 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 It” [...]

New Wave Tuesday: Mathematiques Modernes - Disco Rough

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

We’re back with another edition of New Wave Tuesday & we’re also back on the ‘French Wave’ tip. This time we offer up this delectable piece of no-wave/new wave goodness titled Disco Rough by Mathematiques Modernes. Disco Rough was released as a single in 1980. You can still find the 12 inch [...]

Shout Out Out Out Out + Bang Gang

Tuesday, 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 is [...]

Check Yo’ Ponytail

Monday, 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 so [...]

Santogold

Monday, 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

Monday, 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

Monday, 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

Friday, 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 [...]

Softcore Clash

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

Don’t forget what got us here and brought us together.

If you aren’t Electroclash now you never weren’t.
Think about it.

Sneaky Soundsystem vs Van She Tech

Thursday, 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

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 like, [...]

New Wave Tuesdays

Tuesday, 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 [...]
