Crossover- “Lucida Obscura”

Matt & Kim + Ocelot

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Free booze + good friends + amazing music = great times. I know this was sooo last month, but Matt & Kim may have been my favorite performer at SXSW. Such good memories… though we may have harassed them a little too much afterwards. Ah well.
When we caught Ocelot’s dj set a few days [...]

datarock+para one

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

I must say that I love this incestuous dj remixing circle happening lately.   Para One’s been remixed by Boys Noize, Surkin and Mstrkrft but has also done remixes for Teki Latex, Daft Punk, Block Party and now Datarock. ‘So and so’ is getting remixed by ’so and so’ who is also producing for ’so and so’ who is [...]

The Teenagers

The Teenagers - “Homecoming” (YouTube)
I’ve already seen this video on like almost every blog I subscribe to… but it’s just too perfect not to repost for the millionth time. So much love for The Teenagers.
Ah… in the past six months they’ve remixed like every trendy band ever. The band has become so much more [...]

Sleazy V

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Dontcha just hate kids sometimes….the ones who grew up just assuming that doing amazing tricks like a 720 alleyoop inverted aerial mctwist were normal.  They spent all their time watching videos of professionals doing trick after trick then took their boards out and did those tricks b/c they didn’t know any better. Now those 8 [...]

NWT: Mix Tape

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Most of the previous New Wave Tuesday’s have been single artists entries, today we switch it up & bring you the first ever New Wave Tuesday mix tape! Below are a few tracks that we just can’t do without when it comes to the new wave/post punk genre. Some of them are new, [...]

Soft Tigers

Soft Tigers - “MARIA” (YouTube)
Soft Tiger’s “Mr. Ice Cream Introduces” is just about one of my favorite songs ever. Unfortanetly their “MARIA” doesn’t do much for me at all. BUT for whatever reason the Bumblebeez remix does. Jerry thinks it’s a bit too chopped up, but that’s why I like it… I guess different strokes [...]

Crossover

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Crossover come back from the dead everyday, and this time they bring us something rare, something beyond anything we could ever contemplate, but they do it with pristine style and grace. Their new single/b-side/ep whatever is out and about, and you can only get it through them and their label Cellar Door by contacting them [...]

Jean Nipon

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Man, I loved this track… I don’t care how old it is. It is pretty hard to improve on perfection, but Jean Nipon did it. Totally love how this track went from smooth and sexy to hard and bangin. Ciara sounds like she’s on a mission. Perfect.

Jean Nipon - “Ciaroh” (mp3)
Jean Nipon recently [...]

another great post from guest writer Patric Fallon:
Music fans love a good collaboration, don’t we? For a while it was all about mash-ups and now we just remix any raw audio we can get our hands on. Vocalists are “feat.”-ed on every producer’s track or vocalists just hire a million different producers to create their [...]

Lions At Your Door

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Since we seem to love all things Australian, Bigstereo wrote about Pinky Tuscadero last year and shed a few tears when they disbanded shortly after. But by some miracle from the ‘band gods’ they’re back as Lions At Your Door with a new singer and new songs….ready to rock your f’in socks off. [...]
