If press releases are to be believed — then Ebony Bones has been blowing it up in the UK, or London at least. And it won’t be long before she’ll own the world. Take the outer space elements of Kelis and the ferocity of Spektrum and the slickness of Grace Jones, well, then you might [...]

Operator Please + G.L.O.V.E.S. = L.O.V.E. Yama from Damn Arms works his magic all over “Get What You Want” and makes the track up into a total electro anthem. Sounds a bit like if Karen O fronted Damn Arms… you get the drift. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Operator Please – “Get What [...]

Ready for another mixtape sunday/Tuesday? Everything in music tends to get slow around the holidays either due to lack of material or pure sloth. But now that the craziness is over, let’s start this party with a bang….. The Lillis Brothers are two guys from Athens, Greece who may be physically far from most of [...]

NNB – “Live Good” (Daily Motion via Johnny Hockin) OK, so the effect is very simple to figure out, but Naive New Beaters’ “Live Good” video is cool times a hundred. The single features remixes by In Flagranti and Bloody Beetroots so you know you’re gonna want to pick that up: Juno.

Dandi Wind – “Searching Flesh” (YouTube) Here is Dandi Wind’s new animated video for “Searching Flesh” — we posted the track a while back, and it’s still a favorite. Dandi Wind is finally releasing their remix album, Sacrificial, on SLU and it’s chock full of remixes by Stop Die Resuscitate, Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya, [...]

URB dropped us a line to tell us that they had the Justice mix “rejected by Fabric.” This one is for anyone who has every questioned Justice as a DJ — they start it off with Sparks! Sparks! Download via URB or mirrored below: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Justice – “Rejected Fabric [...]

Better late than never — here are the results to the 2007 BIGSTEREO Readers Poll. No surprise that Justice is at the top of most of these lists. There is no arguing their impact. They made dance music popular in the States for the first time since like the days of disco or at least [...]

After the Swedish explosion a little while back things were a bit quiet from that corner of the earth….or perhaps it fell in the shadow of the French domination of the electronic music scene. Regardless, I was thrilled to stumble across The Touch thanks to referrals from two different friends from two different countries! That [...]

Nominated by our readers as an act to watch out for in 2008, Partyshank has some new untitled material for our ears. There are some pretty big sounds on this one and I’m loving the vocoder on the vocals and the instrumental takes us to about ten different places and… yeah. These guys are totally [...]

I’m sure this will be all over the blogs in about five seconds (if not already)… but Ssion is one of my favorite bands since the beginning of time and Glass Candy does no wrong. So a post is unavoidable. Ssion’s Fool’s Gold has been getting a lot of blog love as of late — [...]

…and then there were two. Panther has gone from a solo act to a duo with the addition of Joe Kelly on drums. The sound has shifted from sounding like a freaky art school Justin Timberlake to something a little more organic and fierce. It ends up sounding a little more legit… though never shaking [...]

Well happy new year everyone! All the distractions and craziness have passed and it’s time for our next guest blog. This time Junior Sanchez wanted to dish on his new favorite group…. So here we go! Its years end and with so many great acts,dj,producers and,serato users!!! its hard to pick the absolute best!! so [...]

You wondering who that crazy looking Mexican is? Well it’s none other than Saul Q, the most loved person in San Diego. The love for him is huge here at BigStereo. He sent us this mix a while back, but you know I lag. I love you Saul, thanks for this mix. I play it [...]

We posted the video Don Juan Dracula’s “Take Me Home” a year ago… but Johan Agebjörn of Sally Shapiro fame recently remixed the track with additional vocals from Sally herself. A nice breath of fresh air — Sally Shapiro adds an element that definitely takes the song a bit further. [Audio clip: view full post [...]

New Klever mix — no tracklisting on this one but it sounds fortified… start your Saturday night off right: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] KLEVER – $KI MA$K WAY!!! (mp3)

Leave it to the Swedes… they must have pop music running through their veins because they can do no wrong in that arena. Rocca follow in the great Swedish tradition of creating synth heavy pop songs that will light up your nights and keep you warm throughout the winter. Not sure if they’re doing anything [...]

Krames will be taking over SoCal the next week — starting out with BIGSTEREO sponsored party Free Range in San Diego tonight at Kava Lounge and ending next week at IHEARTCOMIX’s Still Fucking Awesome on the 7th. We got our dirty little hands on some new Krames edits and remixes that should have you psyched [...]

We’re Villains fans. They did it again — this time working over San Diego’s Buddy Akai. “Cut Me Up” is already a pretty solid track, but Villains take it a step further… making it a bit harder and with near perfect vocal production. Brilliant proof that Villains will be a force to reckon with in [...]
