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.

Unklejam - “What Am [...]

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 [...]

Teki Latex feat lio - “Les matins de Paris”
Teki, Teki we love you. One of the most anticipated albums of 2007, Party de Plaisir, drops June 4th — so psyched. Not holding my breath for a Stateside release… eh, will be saving up the pennies to buy it on import or download.

Montreal’s We Are Wolves were not only my favorite wolf band of 2005, but they also released one of my favorite albums, Non-Stop Je Te Plie en Deux. Two years later and the Wolves are back with a new single… and later this year their sophmore album, Total Magique.
“Fight & Kiss” is the lead single [...]

I’m way too tired to put up Mix Tape Sunday so let this hold ya over til next week…
Beth Ditto interviewed Yo Majesty for XLR8R a few weeks back. Can’t make this shit up… who can’t wait for the Yo Majesty/Beth Ditto collaboration? First person who sends it to me when it’s complete wins.

i am OBSESSED with this song. This collaboration is by two of my recent favs Dragonette and Midnight Juggernauts, that is long overdue. It’s a match made in heaven like mixing peanut butter and chocolate, fake boobs and blonde hair, vodka and tonic, or S&M. This song is featured on the upcoming Kitsune comp, and [...]
