Before New-Rave there was Output. Before Disco-Punk there was Output. Before Electroclash there was… Output. Groundbreaking, innovative, cutting edge — all understatements when decribing what Trevor Jackson accomplished with Output. It’s been a year since Jackson called it quits, but it’s not all death and gloom. Output recently merged with MRC who will be handling [...]

It’s a busy week for The Glass. Their EP ‘Couples Therapy’ came out on Sept 25 on Plant Music and they began their short US tour (including a stop in SF for Lovefest) before they take off overseas. They bestowed on us a little present in the form ‘Fourteen Again’ remixed by one of my [...]

Best Fwends – “Dream Off” (YouTube) Oh man, Best Fwends are so whacky. I always think that they must be the byproduct of A.D.D. and boredom… like they ran out of ritalin and had nothing else to do but pick up microphones. If you’ve ever been to their hometown of Fort Worth, Texas then you [...]

Hybrids Kids was a ‘compilation’ released on Cherry Red Records in 1979. It was supposedly a collection of songs made by a number of bands from Peabody, Kansas. However, In actuality all the songs on the album were created by British keyboardist Morgan Fisher, who was best known for his time spent in glam rock [...]

Australia’s Like Woah! created a mini blog storm last year with their track “Oh I Like.” Now they’re back with “Oh I Like” on their first release with Bang Gang 12 Inches. Armed with the title track and remixes by Whitenoise and Knightlife… well, needless to say this release is a must have — every [...]

Theater Of Disco is jumping on the radar. I have already heard some of you talk about this amazing band, that is sure to break grounds and do something that has definitely been anticipated in music lately. Their antics made into stage show, costumes, make up, and the refusal to become a stricly Electro band [...]

I thought Clash the Disco Kids were kidding when their Myspace profile said they were from Singapore, but they’re for real. They may be halfway around the world from most of us, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know good music. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Clash The Disko Kids – You say [...]

A$BO KID is here to steal your wallets! Formed by James Atkin(EMF[duh "Unbelievable" anyone?]) and Pilly Bob in 2005 they are bringing rave back and not in the form that New Rave has but in a way that really is getting the punks on the dancefloor with glow sticks and head bangery. The whole album [...]

Two more events on Saturday, come watch me sweat it, I will be DJing 4 hours on Saturday, two venues. Come follow me around the city. We at BigStereo are celebrating two new collaborations with two of San Francisco’s most awesome promoters for a love affair that is long overdue. We will be doing more [...]

You love them and there’s a shitload of things to do in San Francisco that night but its motha fuckin’ Daft Punk, and it’s free. So go check it out!! Come to Bad Habits the official BigStereo happy hour at Beauty Bar before too from 7-10 then stay for some robotic beats.

Punks Jump Up "Dance to Our Disco" YAY! Punks Jump Up and our lovely friends at Kitsune just released this video for ‘Dance To our Disco‘. It makes me reminisce about Max Headroom, Devo and all those other totally 80′s music videos that MTV used to play before they discovered reality shows. Can’t beat the [...]

Ok, I’ll admit it. For the longest, longest time I thought Boys Noize was a duo and was totally confused the first time I saw Alexander Ridha dj. Sooooo now that that is all sorted out — One thing we’re certain about is Boys Noize has put out some of the best remixes in recent [...]

Hi, I’m Baron von Luxxury. I’m gonna be like Joan Rivers to Disaster’s Johnny Carson and do the “New Wave Tuesday” column every other week, which will be syndicated on The Workout, MissingToof and BIGSTEREO. Try all three! Dusseldorf’s Propaganda is probably my favorite band from the 80′s. Sounding a bit like a Nico-fronted Kraftwerk [...]

So things have been pretty quiet in ‘Presets-land.’ They’re probably just exhausted from the non-stop touring these past few years. Well, you can imagine my hysteria when i stumbled across their remix of this track by another Australian (and the UK?) band, Howling Bells. The boys give the band’s erethral indie sound an infectious, pulsating [...]

So this had every intention of being our 2nd installment in the ‘guest blog’ series, but TEPR felt more comfortable with his role writing music as opposed to ‘inspired music journalist’. For his ‘guest blog’, he would love to introduce us to Fortune. We’ll let TEPR’s own words to describe the band: “Fortune’s first EP [...]

Well, The Twelves are at it again. I’ve become a big fan of their remixes ever since our first post with the MIA and Asobi Seksu tracks. They sent me this older track to hold BigStereo off until they finish their current projects….which I hope includes a good amount of original material. It’s a bit [...]

Digitalism – “Idealistic” (YouTube) Today is the day for videos — here’s Digitalism’s new video for “Idealistic”, a schizophrenic mix of images by Rokk. Annnnnnnd we posted the Idealistic teaser a while back — grab that while you can. UK dates

The Black Ghosts – “Some Way Through This” (YouTube) Lego videos are a dime a dozen on YouTube, but none are quite as good as the video for “Some Way Through This” from The Black Ghosts…

Now I’ve been getting pretty tired of every Kanye song that’s been floating around and even more complacent about the Kanye vs. 50 Cent ‘battle.’ This Kanye remix concocted by Junior Sanchez has been the only exception that i’ll keep in my iTunes. He blended in a bit of ‘Crystal Castles-ish’ dance flavor without making [...]

I was initially tipped off about Danger by Jean Demery (you may remember our post about his brilliant filmmaking). Danger sounds like the love-child from a tantric affair between Daft Punk and Kavinksy…not a bad gene pool, much like Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. This 23 year old monsieur has been making music for seven years and just [...]
