Blake Miller is Ruthless

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Sure, Moving Units may be mobilizing on tour to promote their new album, but somehow Blake Miller has found the time to start his own endeavors. I guess now it’s the norm for most djs to create their own edits so their sets don’t sound identical and thank goodness b/c I tend to get tired [...]

Thieves Like Us

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Kitsune Records and Thieves Like Us are proud to announce the official ‘Drugs In My Body’ remix contest!
Since everyone can be a producer in their bedroom (and most people these days seem to be), Kitsune is on the right track looking for submissions from the undiscovered ‘next big thing.’
The winner will have the track released [...]

Dgenetics

Friday, October 12th, 2007

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for quite a while for Dgenerate Nation to finish this video for ‘Skate with Me‘ and it’s finally here…like an overdue baby. Before I saw it, I envisioned a video like the Rapture’s ‘Get Myself Into It‘ with disco lights and roller rinks. But this is just a day [...]

Cut Copy

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

I’m sure many of you have been anxiously awaiting Cut Copy’s sophmore album In Ghost Colours due out early 2008 on Modular. Lucky for us because the wait isn’t too much longer annnnnd they’re releasing “So Haunted” as an Austrlian single to hype up their upcoming tour there.
If this the vibe of In Ghost [...]

Kylie

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Ah… Kylie Minogue is my ultimate guilty pleasure. And obviously, there’s no one better to school Britney on how to do a come back performance.
In her new video for “2 Hearts”, Kylie channels equal parts Goldfrapp, David Bowie and Marilyn Monroe… and omg: look at that skull microphone. Whoever did the art direction for [...]

Kasper Bjørke

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Oh how I love referrals. I was tipped off to Kasper Bjørke a little bit ago when Dominique from The Glass rolled through San Francisco for Lovefest. He promised to hook me up with all kinds of good music and this was nestled into what he gave me.
Kasper is part of [...]

Chromeo

Chromeo - “Bonafide Lovin’ (YouTube via Good Soul Department)
Chromeo’s new video for “Bonafide Lovin’” is a nice nod to Dire Straights — right down to the dog. Although it’s probably pretty easy to guess which we prefer.
Oh and here’s that Sinden remix of “Tenderoni” that has been featured on just about every single blog [...]

Black Kids

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Black Kids has been getting a lot of early Internet support and buzz — the latest fuel from a very positive Pitchfork review of their free Myspace demo ep. And it’s no surprise. They’re so f’ing easy to love… they hit a timeless Go Team-esque sound that hits every range of emotion. Black Kids found [...]

Envelopes + Sportsday Megaphone

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Sportsday Megaphone has quickly become a BIGSTEREO favorite. His latest remix is for Envelopes new track, “PARTY” — which hopefully means a new album isn’t too far away. Sportsday Megaphone takes “PARTY” from guitar pop to distorted disco madness. I been loving everything Hugh Frost (aka Sportsday Megaphone) has put out and this is no [...]

Bloody Beetroots presents Congorock

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Time for another round of guest bloggers. This time, we’re lucky enough to have the Bloody Beetroots sharing some of their Italian insider tips with us. They felt like Congorock fit the bill, so take it away guys….
One thing we really appreciate is people with inclination to work, no matter what’s on the plate, [...]

In Flagranti

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

:::::::::::::::::::: See those. Those are my literary equivalent of goosebumps. Ever since I heard In Flagranti’s full-length ‘Wronger Than Anyone Else‘ I’ve been a die-hard fan. Perhaps they gained my musical loyalty with their disco/funk/italo influences, or perhaps it’s because they make f’ing awesome music. They have an EP coming out October 18th on Speak [...]

Big Face

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

Big Face is set to release “Style Crusader” on Kitsuné on November 1st — more on that later. But there are a couple of demos up on the Big Face’s MySpace that are worth checking out. Like “Style Crusader”, these tracks are a bit formulaic in that they start out slow and almost atmospheric but [...]
