All good things must...

All good things must…

January 31st, 2008

… come to an end. It’s with great sadness that I have to announce that one of BIGSTEREO’s finest is packing it up and moving it out. Misstoats had a great run as a regular contributor on this site, and she’ll be missed. The good news is she’ll be moving onto bigger and better things… [...]

Heartsrevolution

January 31st, 2008

Heartsrevolution has done it with their song “Choose Your Own Adventure”. Iheartcomix know’s how to do it right. They had a little remix contest for this song and brought in the usual suspect’s but the unusual result’s. I’ve gone through all the remixes and they all are gems. Remixed by Lazaro Casanova, Dan Oh, Brodinski, [...]

DJ Donna Summer

January 31st, 2008

DJ Donna Summer aka Jason Forest just sent out his new remix of GNR’s “Sweet Child O Mine” — ohmigosh, the other day at work someone parked below my window and played “Sweet Child O Mine” on repeat for six hours. At first it was kinda cool, and I had a mini head banger session [...]

Ssion + Nomathmatics

January 30th, 2008

I know we just posted the original and that amazing Glass Candy remix not so long ago — but when it comes to Ssion we can’t be post shy.
NOMATHMATICS recently got their hands on the song and created a remix that’s a little harder, messier and sassier. Yeah, the above photo describes it best… [...]

Robots In Disguise

Robots In Disguise

January 30th, 2008

We love Robots In Disguise. We’ve posted about this release already, but you need to go get it. I am addicted to this album. I can’t stress how good it is. I am also a bit of a riot grrrl and post punk womyn band nerd. The album ‘We’re in the Music Biz’ comes out [...]

Stop Die Resuscitate

Stop Die Resuscitate – “Bad Night” (YouTube)
Make it stop! Only cuz I have a fear that toys are gonna come alive and kill me in my sleep. Otherwise Stop Die Resuscitate new video for “Bad Night” is pretty damn cool — here’s what Luke from SDR had to say: “One part of the videos concept [...]

Muscles + Shazam

Muscles + Shazam

January 25th, 2008

Muscles is set to release his next single ‘Sweaty’ with remixes by both Shazam and The Juan Maclean. I can’t tell you how much I love love love this Shazam remix. This producer from Perth politely swapped Muscles’ husky vocals for the energetic and the hair-around-the-finger-twirling innocent (yet ironically singing about getting sweaty) vocals [...]

WOW

WOW

January 25th, 2008

Sydney boy/girl duo WOW seem to have come up out of nowhere — and bam, hitting us upside the head with some very likable “pissed off scuzzed out computer disco punk.” Their words, not ours… but I’m not sure I could’ve come up with a more accurate description. In short WOW encompasses that signature Australia [...]

The Teenagers

January 24th, 2008

Ok, so this marks our one millionth Teenagers post. Which officially makes us total fanboys. But I have to quickly mention that Reality Check blew away our expectations… it ended up being much more sophisicated than we thought possible. Maybe they’ll blow up to be a little bit bigger than a blog band after all… [...]

The Emergency

The Emergency

January 24th, 2008

Yet another diamond in the rough thanks to musical referrals. The Emergency are from Melbourne, Australia and their brooding, indie electro sound reminds me so much of Colder (who has since stopped making music much to my dismay) Well, maybe Colder mixed with Cut Copy mixed with Chromatics. Maybe I’m just a sucker for things [...]

The Death Set

The Death Set

January 24th, 2008

I think my first introduction to The Death Set was this past summer with Bang Gang’s Light Sound Dance disc — probably later than some of you cool kids, but Rad Warehouses Bad Neighborhoods has been hanging out with my ears since then…
My ear tends to migrate towards poppier sounds — “Negative Thinking” being [...]

Late of the Pier

Late of the Pier

January 22nd, 2008

There has been a lot of buzz building about Late of the Pier in recent months since their release of ‘Bathroom Gurgle.’ Perhaps it’s due to the oversaturation of ‘bangers’ in recent months, the lull in live indie electronic music, or perhaps it’s their the production work by Erol Alkan that struck a chord with [...]

The Kills

The Kills – “Cheap and Cheerful” (YouTube)
Omg, who is else totally psyched for the new Kills album?? It might be one of the most anticipated album on 2008 — I’m not sure if I’m more excited about hearing XXXchange’s production or new songs from The Kills.

Purple Crush

Purple Crush & Probe dms – “Beef With Me” (YouTube)
Purple Crush and Probe dms recently redid Britney’s “Piece Of Me” — the video is like a classic YouTube photo homage.
To quote Mrs. Crush herself, Isla wrote: “This is maybe the most self-indulgent thing we’ve ever made, and now that it’s done, I feel like [...]

Cool Kids Can’t Die

January 22nd, 2008

And cool kids belong together and all that. Cool Kids Can’t Die come to us from Italy and have a bunch of reeeeemixes for your grabby hands.
Ever since we played host to that Yelle remix contest, it seems like “Ce Jeu” remixes are popping out of the woodwork on MySpace, your Mom’s blog, etc — [...]

Freezepop

January 20th, 2008

Their new album has already hit the shelves, if you are into synthpop, electropop, new wave goodness I suggest you check it out. I was a huge fan when their first album came out and every album seems to be more and more produced, but I don’t see that as something negative.

Gonzales

January 18th, 2008

Gonzales is back from a long hiatus to drop his new album ‘Soft Power‘ on Mercury Records. For those not familiar, Gonzales produced both of Feist’s albums and has been a long time producer/collaborator with Peaches. He also seems to have Teki Latex doing his digital PR (he’s the one that sent me the [...]
