Vin Sol

February 12th, 2008

This tough guy here is none other thanVin Sol. He has been a well recognized DJ here in San Francisco for years and years, mostly in the hip-hop crowd, but has slowly started letting his guard down and is appealing to DJ’s and partygoers abound. This guy can scratch, beat match, and show you up [...]

Bo$$ In Drama

Bo$$ In Drama

February 11th, 2008

Bo$$ In Drama sent over his new track called “All The Love” — I have to say I’m totally psyched for this kid. It is no secret that Brazil has been a hot spot for party music the past few years, and Bo$$ In Drama continues this tradition… though his sound tends to be bit [...]

Amari

Amari

February 10th, 2008

We posted a remix by Herr Styler for Amari a little way back. This time I’m posting up a remix by Amari for Settlefish. Can I just tell you how much I love Amari? I love Katamari, and Amari comes very close. They are from Italy and have been holding the fort down. They claim [...]

Little Boots

Little Boots

February 8th, 2008

Little Boots has one of those annoying MySpace profiles with no photos or band info — which can only mean two things: either they’re ugly beyond belief or they’re some mysterious side project of some superstar band. Sounding like Moroder does Kylie, we suspect the latter might be the case. Luckily Little Boots’ “Stuck on [...]

La Chansons

La Chansons

February 8th, 2008

I am so in love with husband/wife duo La Chansons. Straight of Georgia — they remind me a lot of fellow Georgia girl/boy synth pop duo I Am The World Trade Center. Vocalist Carson has similar vocal qualities as Amy Dykes, and their synth is just as yummy. “Workout Love” is such a perfect little [...]

photo: Mike McLaughlin Yes! Yes! and Yes! Miss Tk & The Revenge made my year when their last album ‘XOXO’ came out. It was nearly impossible to find the record, which i just ordered directly. A year later to my surprise at a Tower Records blowout sale(due to bankruptcy) in their vinyl section I saw [...]

Hail Social

Hail Social

February 6th, 2008

Hail Social put out one of my favorite albums last year, Modern Love And Death — for reals. This was one of those special albums that felt like a complete album and not just a collection of songs or singles. A year later the band is back with a double disc remix album taking their [...]

The Slips

The Slips

February 5th, 2008

Finally more “The” bands. The Slips from London are releasing an album all of their own. They’ve put aside other people’s projects and are ready to showcase themselves for once. They’ve worked with Fischerspooner, Madonna, Björk, and Gwen Stefani to name a few. People will easily compare this to “electroclash” of days past, but they [...]

Heavy Vee

February 5th, 2008

Omg, thick girls don’t need a hook. I am in love: Heavy Vee is as much fun as last year’s Lil’ Mama — bets on if she’ll be as annoying in six months.

Operator Please + Sportsday Megaphone

Operator Please + Sportsday Megaphone

February 2nd, 2008

We posted that fabulous remix of “Get What You Want” by G.L.O.V.E.S. a couple weeks ago… but today we have a new one by BIGSTEREO favorite Sportsday Megaphone. Hugh Frost takes the track in a totally different direction than G.L.O.V.E.S. and creates something totally drenched in synth pop magic. I don’t know — if you [...]

February 1st, 2008

Everyones favorite compilation album is back and is turning fiiiiive. You know the drill by now: a bunch of Kitsuné favorites, a bunch of Kitsuné exclusives, a bunch of good old fashion Kitsuné fun. And if that’s not enough this one is extra special because it is gold wrapped. Everything is better when it’s wrapped [...]
