Tronik Youth Presents Shinichi Osawa

December 12th, 2007

Another week, another guest blog. This time, Tronik Youth takes the reins and steers us into the territory of people ‘in the know’. There has been plenty of buzz about this artist already so be prepared to be briefed on ‘the next big thing.’
Shinichi Osawa has been the most exciting producer for me in [...]

Check Yo Ponytail

Check Yo Ponytail

December 12th, 2007

Check Yo Ponytail! Saturday! This one is fucking schizophrenic — you have a clash of styles that is gonna end in a dance off between the bloods and the crips. Tittsworth & Klever! The Black Ghosts! Ima Gymnist! Japanther! Franki Chan & Paparazzi! And somehow it all makes sense…

Guns N Bombs

Guns N Bombs

December 12th, 2007

Ahhhhh nostalgia. It’s the best when a song rears its familiar head to bring back a flood of musical memories. Well, how about an entire mixtape by Guns N Bombs? This little guy was born back when Kitsune was obscure and back before Johnny’s hair started to curl (probably around the time of this lovely [...]

Cazals + autoKratz

Cazals + autoKratz

December 11th, 2007

When trying to select which Cazals remix to give me, Kitsune made the perfect decision when they tapped into my recent obsession with autoKratz and slipped me this little slice of heaven. I heard it and, true to its name, my heart began throbbing…or maybe that was my head left hypersensitive from this weekend. [...]

Mixtape Sunday

December 11th, 2007

Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about Mixtape Sundays and my deepest apologies if you’ve been fiending for some good chunks of music to sustain you through the work week. So enough jabber, let’s get to it…
I’ll start off with a mixtape by Tronik Youth aka the man who can survive on four hours of sleep. [...]

My Robot Friend

December 10th, 2007

My Robot Friend – “Robot High School” (YouTube)
Everybody’s favorite robot (ok, besides those two punks from France) is back with a brand new video and song. And this time he’s going to school. My Robot Friend has always been a tad bit conceptual, but it looks like it’s going to a new level with a [...]

Revolte

Revolte

December 8th, 2007

Revolte is in the process of exploding onto the electronic music scene. Not only are they smack dab in the mecca of electronic music (France), but they’ve had a track featured on the Kitsune Boombox compilation and were commissioned to do a remix of Kylie Minogue’s ‘Boombox’ (which is one of the best ones of [...]

Soft Tigers

Soft Tigers

December 6th, 2007

We’ve posted Soft Tigers a few times before (here and here) — but Bang Gang 12 Inch has just released “Mr Ice Cream” on their perfectly curated vinyl series. Knife Machine takes the track in a totally different direction shaking away the original’s pop roots. Still a favorite. It’s nice to hear a darker spin [...]

The Presets

December 5th, 2007

The Presets – “My People” (YouTube)
Sooooo it’s here. The new video for The Presets new single “My People.” The track leaked a while back on the world wide webs, and it seems opinions are mixed. This one took a while to grow on me but I have to say it’s grown and grown and grown [...]

Mendetz

Mendetz

December 5th, 2007

With the exception of the amazing venue Razzmatazz, I haven’t heard much in the way of electronic music come out of Barcelona recently (feel free to correct me if someone comes to mind). Well, allow me to introduce you to Mendetz. They narrowly escaped the hardcore scene and emerged to begin creating self-described ‘casiopunk’ [...]

Tyskerhar

December 4th, 2007

If you’ve been reading BIGSTEREO for any amount of time then you may have picked up on our love for Tyskerhar — or at least my love for Tyskerhar. Yay for today because the duo has a new track up on their MySpace. “Pink Mustache” comes off Forever which is due out in 2008. In [...]

Paris

Paris

December 4th, 2007

I’m a jack ass and I let one slip. Now it’s all over some other blogs. It won’t stop me I will still post it up, just because I think it is significant. This remix comes from Paris as in the NYC duo, you might remember them from a post quite a while ago here [...]

David E. Sugar

December 3rd, 2007

David E. Sugar’s “Chelsea Girls” has been sitting comfortably at the top of my playlist since release but somehow the video slipped on by me. Until today. It’s not gonna change the world, but it’s definitely charming. Check out the white boy dance…

Autokratz

Autokratz

December 3rd, 2007

Perhaps you aren’t familiar with Autokratz. Perhaps you managed to scroll by their first release, Reaktor, which debuted on Kitsune in September. Well, just in case you did here’s a lure that’s sure to hook you. It’s part glitchy, part pop-y, and part Kitsune-y.
Consider it a prequel because they have another EP coming [...]

MSTRKRFT

MSTRKRFT

December 1st, 2007

I managed to track down AL-P from MSTRKRFT for an ‘interview’ on their stop thru San Diego. After a riot-inducing set and I don’t know how many bottles of their beloved Canadian Crown Royal whiskey, he graciously agreed to answer all my questions through his inebriated haze even though I failed to round up some [...]

Chromeo + FrankMusik

Chromeo + FrankMusik

December 1st, 2007

“Needy Girl” is one of those songs that just gets better with age — and damn, who can’t relate?? FRANKMUSIK recently remixed the Chromeo classic. A little less funky, it’s totally reworked and fucked up into that signature Frankmusik sound. This girl comes off a little bit more needy than the original… and maybe even [...]
