NWT: Zom Zom

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Zom Zoms are a Texas based New Wave act armed with a synthesizer & some more synthesizers. Their library of songs are quirky & bizarre, often times teetering on ridiculous. Like Yip-Yip whom they often tour with, they were banned from Canda for a whole year. Think Devo and you’re pretty much spot on. [...]

7 Day Weekend

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

7 Day Weekend is a trio out of Perth, Australia that is creating dancey little diy rap songs. Judging from the sampling of tracks that I’ve heard they’re a bit formulaic but regardless totally enjoyable. Ok, what I’m trying to say is art school rap has become a genre of its own, and I love [...]

Pish Posh

Monday, May 14th, 2007

For those of you in the YAY AREAAAA, check out this Pish Posh of North America/History Invades album release party at 222 Hyde this Friday in SF.  Some of our local favorites are going to be all sweaty and rubbing all over each other in the name of good music. (Last time ATAK performed, there [...]

The Glamour

Monday, May 14th, 2007

One of our current favs, The Glamour, sent over their brand new track for us all to enjoy. They’re rapidly starting to build quite the catalog. “Get Into It” is a nice little jam… a bit funkier than some of their previous tracks. It kinda reminds me of Les Rythmes Digitales’ during his Darkdancer era [...]

Mix Tape Sunday Vol II

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Ohmygoodness. So many mixes… so little time.
1) First up: Bald Eagle out of Chicago sent in the this one — Midwest taking over. He starts out with his very own Spektrum vs. Hollwood Holt edit. Hot. Notice the Spektrum vibe running through most of these mixes this week. Love it.

Check Yo’ Ponytail: Crystal Castles + Purple Crush

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

L.A. folks: make sure you’re out at the new Check Yo’ Ponytail with Crystal Castles and Purple Crush on May 26th at the Echoplex… with resident DJs Franki Chan and Paparazzi.

Digitalism

Friday, May 11th, 2007

It’s just gonna be one of those Kitsuné weeks. No complaints here. Digitalism’s video for “Pogo” makes me dizzy… such great effects for such a great track. And I want those gold shoes.

The Glass

Friday, May 11th, 2007

I’ve been intrigued by The Glass ever since I heard my friend spin their part of the “Sound of Young New York” vinyl at a house party years ago. They just put the finishing touches on remixes for Shitake Monkey and Vice records’ 120 Days. And while looking over at their myspace I got a bit dizzy looking [...]

Kitsuné Maison 4

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

You’re no stranger to Kitsuné Maison series… already on it’s fourth installment it’s a catalogue of the best of the best of the best. Dazed Digital sent along their mix of the compilation… certainly more exciting than the mix used for Kitsuné Maison 3 since it gives you a little flavor for all the tracks.

Kitsuné [...]
