Tronik Youth

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Tronik Youth just doesn’t quit (and thank goodness for that). This remix of Jape is just another reminder of what a solid musical producer he is.
Tronik Youth has also gone through a few fundamental changes. While he still DJs on his own, Neil Parnell has enlisted the help of his sound engineer to [...]

Bo$$ In Drama

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

I’ve been keeping an eye on Bo$$ In Drama ever since someone suggested him in the comments section — then he sent us his new “Shake” mp3, and I’m totally sold. This track is total top notch bedroom producer stuff… reminds me of a Brazillian version of the Glamour or something. This’ll have you dancing [...]

SoftLightes - Microwave SongUploaded by modularpeople
SoftLightes has a new video out for their “Microwave Song” directed by Kris Moyes — who has directed a whole bunch of other Modular artist video. Much, much better quality on Moyes’ site.
Reminds me of the Helping Hands from the Labyrinth… those used to freak me out as a kid. [...]

Grafton Primary + Miami Horror

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

May 80’s revival never die — Australia’s Grafton Primary delivers a healthy dose of synth pop, new wave action. “I Can Cook” sounds like it could’ve been ripped straight out of a John Hughes movie circa Sixteen Candles. Miami Horror adds his usual flair to the track — though he doesn’t stray too far from [...]

Mel Merio

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Aw, the Pet Shop Boys would be proud. Here’s some total floor filler, dance anthem potential… This is almost too sweet to love, but the hint of “Around The World” is so perfectly timed (or timely perfect) that it impossible not to fall for Mel Merio’s “Domino Dancing”. The “wha wha wha wha whawha” [...]

The Black Ghosts

Monday, October 29th, 2007

We’ve been posting The Black Ghosts for over a year now — and it looks like they’re finally set to blow up in the States just as the other Simian descendant did. They’re releasing their first domestic EP this week on IAMSOUND — we have a couple B Sides that didn’t quite make the cut [...]

NYPC + The Twelves

Monday, October 29th, 2007

New Young Pony Club and the Twelves are two artists we post a lot of work from — so when they combine, well watch out!! NYPC is releasing their umpteenth single from Fantastic Playroom — and “Get Lucky” is an obvious choice for a single. It’s catchy and upbeat and all the rest that makes [...]

Mixtape Sunday

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Surprise! I got ‘Mixtape Sunday’ up on a Sunday.
To start off, here’s a mix from Touchpad who claims that he only djs for fun, but his mix sounded pretty good and the song selection was pretty spot-on, too. Those Parisians are too modest….

Touchpad - Halloween
YAY! Another mix by Louisahhh. We posted her last [...]

Fatal Bazooka + Yelle

Fatal Bazooka feat Yelle - “Parle à ma main” (YouTube)
You don’t have to speak French to find this little video funny — though I’m sure it helps. Oh, how much do I love Yelle? The Gwen Stefani parody is priceless. Bananas.
Maybe some of our Francophone friends will let us in on the joke in the [...]

Kylie

Friday, October 26th, 2007

I’m about to get all super gay on you, but I love me some Kylie — and as far as Top 40 Pop music goes, I can’t be more excited about X. EMI dropped us this megamix of X which of course is such a f’ing tease. I have to say some of these tracks [...]

Bumblebeez

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Maybe you heard? One of our favorite Australian bands, The Bumblebeez, has a new album: Prince Umberto & the Sister of Ill. We already know we should expect anything from the Beez, and with James Ford producing that anything goes ante is upped. Apparently they recorded over 175 tracks for the album, so there must [...]

The Teenagers

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Well it’s been a year since we first posted The Teenagers — and what a year it has been for the band: they’ve gone from MySpace/blog darlings to international cool kids. “Starlett Johansson” has been kicking around the tubes for a few months but it had its official release on Merok this week. If nothing [...]
