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 [...]

Boys Noize

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

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 [...]

NWT: Propaganda

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

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 in [...]

Presets + Howling Bells

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

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, [...]

TEPR introduces Fortune

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

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 [...]

The Twelves

Monday, September 17th, 2007

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 [...]

Today is the day for videos — here’s Digitalism’s new video for “Idealistic”, a schizophrenic mix of images by Rokk.

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…

Junior Sanchez

Friday, September 14th, 2007

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’ [...]

Danger

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

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 [...]
