Ebony Bones

Friday, January 18th, 2008

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.

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

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.

Ah shit, [...]

Mixtape Sunday

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

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…..

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.

Readers Poll Results

Friday, January 11th, 2008

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 [...]

The Touch

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

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! [...]

Partyshank

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

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 [...]
