This is by far my favorite album promo ever. Montag a.k.a. Antoine Bédard is putting out his third album, Going Places, which looks exquisite. So go have a lookee listen, then go find the album on June 5th and listen some more….
Montag – Best Boy Electric

As Americans, we’re usually pretty snobby about our lyrics. Average Americans can’t get past anything that’s not in English… eh their loss is our gain. I have no idea what Catherine Ferroyer-Blanchard is singing about, and I don’t really care. Not as dancey as her countrymate Yelle, but there’s the same sort of irresistible poppy-fun [...]

Gameboy/Gamegirl messaged asking me to post this up on Mix Tape Sunday. But I says Tranterco deserves his own day of the week. If you’ve been paying attention then you already know Tranter as part of Gameboy/Gamegirl — or if you’re really down then you know him as one of the Streetparty crew.
Tranterco just [...]

Here’s some proof that we’re not all glow sticks and pom poms over here at BIGSTEREO. Misha’s Teardrop Sweetheart recently landed on my desk and woah, totally excited by this album. Teardrop Sweetheart is the most perfect Summer pop album… totally timeless and delicious indie pop that you’ll find yourself humming along with while chowing [...]

Shakes – “Disneyland Pt 1″ (YouTube)
We were pretty hot for Shakes a few months ago. Lucky for us… there’s more Shakes love this spring as their Sister Self Doubt ep is being released here in the States on IAMSOUND records. Ah, the familar disco punk sound that we love…
Purchase the Sister Self Doubt ep [...]

The Bollock Brothers we’re a punk rock novelty act started in the early 80’s led by Jock McDonald. Their early albums were pretty much remakes of older classics, but with tongue in cheek spins on the lyrics. The song ‘Horror Movies’ is irreverent lyrics about horror flicks on top of The Zombies’ ‘Spooky’. [...]

Little late on this one… Saturday’s Check Yo’ Ponytail with Chicago house legend Green Velvet aka Curtis Jones. If you were alive in 94 then you know him from his single “Preacher Man” — if you weren’t then you should know his recent record “Shake & Pop” which you can stream over at GreenVelvetSpace. Help [...]

You don’t know how excited I was when I got a bunch of remixes of Surkin songs in my inbox from his label, Institubes. But I soon got even more excited b/c included in the bunch were a few songs from Bobmo, a fellow French kid who isn’t even out of high school. [...]

Back this week with another edition of Mix Tape Sunday. Kinda have a lot for you all this week since we took last Sunday off.
1) First up is a mix by the Black Ghosts. Who doesn’t love the Black Ghosts? They’ve been a BIGSTEREO favorite for many, many months now. Their mix is a [...]

Here’s a new remix by Audioporno of Poney Poney’s now almost classic “Junior.” A nice poppy take on the original. Love love love the vocals in this one. Ah shiz, ready for the dance floor.
Poney Poney – “Junior” (Audioporno remix) (mp3)

Audioporno also sent us their Top Of The Pops Vol. 3 mix a little while [...]

Luxxury is another gem out of Frisco….If you’re not familiar with them, you’ve encountered them at the perfect time b/c they’ve commissioned quite a list of up-and-coming producers to remix their “Rock and Roll is Evil” album. The result is a whole lotta dance-rock-disco-electro goodness. Luxxury has actually adapted their live show to [...]

Hot new video for Dead Disco’s hot new single: “You’re Out.” I love them… and not just because they’re three of the hottest chicks ever. Hot.
We posted the Frank Music remix of “You’re Out” a few days ago. Make sure to cop that if you haven’t yet.

It was a year ago when Young and Restless first tore up the blogs with their demo mp3, “Satan.” Since then the band has gone on to take notice in Australia… beating out thousands of other entries in Tripple J’s Unearthed national competetion.
The band is back with a new single “Kapow!” taken off their debut [...]

This twosome from Jersey City have a love affair with lo-fi electronic music. Lismore sounds like Matt & Kim’s cousins from the wrong side of the tracks. A little grimier, a little less pop-y and a little more of an edge.  But it sounds to me like they have a sound that would be even more enhanced [...]

Check out the Saam directed video for Unklejam’s “What Am I Fighting For” — f’ing neon. This is one of my current favorite pop groups for obvious reasons. Oh and the jamm… LA Priest mixes up “What Am I Fighting For” and creates a ravetastic anthem… gonna blow yr brain open.
[Audio clip: view full [...]

Melbourne’s Midnight Juggernauts are finally at it again. Last year they rocked us with their self titled EP which rocked DJ deck’s all over the world with pretty much every song on the damn EP. They have remixed and been remixed by pretty much anyone you need to know, especially in the Australian market. They [...]

I’m coming up to Portland, as in Oregon, not Travis’ territory in Maine. Come dance and have a few drinks, the party is free!
I’ll be partying with my good friends Joee Irwin and the beautiful Andie. Joee will be starting a new night in Portland on Thursdays, so hit him up for gigs!!!

Tyskerhar have a new track out called “Workout” that’s sure to fuel a few Tae Bo inspired sessions. “Workout” kinda has that retro-90’s vibe to it… I almost expect someone to shout Mortal Kombat in the background — but seriously that’s why I love it. For fans of MIA and Uffie; watch out cause Tyskerhar [...]

Van Kaye & Ignit was a minimal wave trio circa 1980 in Holland. Van Kaye previously had performed in the Monomen in 1977 but began working with the new instruments that were invading the scene around the time called ’synthesizers’. He was joined by Ignit Van Kasteren they recorded their debut ‘A Slight [...]
