Oh shit, PARIS is going to come at you and split your eardrums apart. We’re emailed a ton of excellent dj mixes, but rarely are they this dirty and down to business. “Is This Thing Loaded????” is straight up party and a totally solid mix that doesn’t rely on the track of the moment. Bonus [...]

With the success (or at least popularity) of Young Love, emowave is all the new rage – maybe. Hot on the heals is fellow Texan Luis Dubuc aka The Secret Handshake who is set to drop his second album this spring. Produced by Ocelot Mthrfckrs, “Too Young” is a melodramatic indie-pop-punk track that in itself [...]

DJ Paul V. of the Smash Mix has a new radio show Saturday nights called Neon Noise. The show plays 12am to 3am Pacific time — if you’re not in LA you can listen live over the Internet.
Here’s a hint of what you’ll hear tonight:
* Justice – Phantom
* Peter, Bjorn & John – Young Folks [...]

New Young Pony Club – “BOMB” (video)

I can’t believe someone hasn’t YouTubed this shit yet. New Young Pony Club’s “The Bomb” is a pretty straight forward performance video. I had pretty high expectations, but it ended up not so surprising — certainly not another “Ice Cream.” The song is rad though.
The single is to be [...]

The Avalanches have a new bootleg for you — you should know both the tracks that went into “Ray Of Zdarlight.” The track ends up more bangin than Wham ever was… really, it ends up sounding like a killer Justin Timberlake track. Is Justin just our modern excuse for George Michael? Put that into perspective.
Maybe [...]

I’m a bit of a mash up freak… though I try not to post them too often: Partly because they are a dime a dozen these days. Mostly though because it is easy to make a good mash up, but it is almost impossible to make a perfect one. You already know the recipe for [...]

Muscles is my new favorite artist thanks to recent spins on Whothehell.net and Kiss Atlanta. And judging from Hype Machine I am totally late on this game. You know you’re late when Fluxblog has hit a band not once but twice. AND I don’t know how I missed Muscles the first three times Fluokids posted, [...]

Ok peer pressure made me do it. I promised myself to never ever create a MySpace page but… I break promises:

I can’t say anything because I’ll make it on America’s Most Wanted.

LA is quickly becoming the dance capital of the States — move over New York, Miami, Detroit, Chicago. There are more acts coming out of California these days than those other cities combined. Young Americans is one of those acts to keep an eye on. “Turning Inside Out” has a Justicesque electro banger feel to [...]

Goose has been on pretty much every important music blog, but not here. I kind of figured they were everyone’s favorite new band, but I was mistaken. I am posting these guys on here even if there album release is old news, because you all need to know who these guys are. You need [...]

The first time I heard frYars it was pretty much instant hate… like I wanted to turn it off and never hear it again. To spark such an instant gut reaction is actually a good thing though, and I find myself returning to his music. At times, his music seems a little hokey, but the [...]

You’ve probably already heard that Yoko Ono’s latest record, I Am Not A Witch, is collaboration project with a ton of different artists — an eclectic mix from Le Tigre to Cat Powers to Antony to The Sleepy Jackson. Each artist picked a track from Ono’s back catalog and basically did a remix. This [...]

OMG!!! This is what happens when two of the world’s best bands totally collide. New Young Pony Club remixing the Gossip!! I’ve been waiting weeks to hear this remix in it’s entirety and yeah… I’m not disapointed. Short story: this is a perfect blend of both bands… like if Beth Ditto fronted New Young Pony [...]
