Bitchee Bitchee and Ya Ya Ya have been busy working on their debut album, and they were kind enough to drop us a little teaser from it. “Love Beauty #1″ isn’t as distortion heavy as “Fuck Friend” — it’s more like its distant surf influenced cousin. I imagine a big dance number to this one [...]

Purple Crush – “Shopping on the Dance Floor” (YouTube)
“Shopping” was heard on Purple Crush’s “Welcome 2 Emo-Club” ep last year… well now the track has gotten the video and remix treatment from AC Slater, Mike Genius, Krames and Shir Khan. Rad. This song is so easy to like… such a sing a long and easy [...]

Golden Bug has been posted on BIGSTEREO quite a few times now, but “Rocket City” is such a fun track that I can’t resist once more. The song offers up a wonderful dose of hidden disco — mixed with some layered synths and bits of French distortion that’ll get everyone moving across the floor. I [...]

Lismore is heading off for a West Coast tour and in celebration have dropped a new track — “More”!! Keeping in Lismore tradition the song is pure pop drenched in synth that’ll have you shaking and dancing. “More” puts Lismore at the top of their game… and uh, leaves up wanting more. Luckily there [...]

Ok, I kinda want to be selfish and NOT post Mono4 because I want them to be “my little secret”… but what would be the point if I couldn’t share my love with the world? We posted them a few months back, and they have definitely remained a favorite since then — but if yr [...]

In case you missed it, IHEARTCOMIX’s laaaaasssst Check Yo Ponytail is Tuesday. This is it, and they’re going out with a bang. The cat is finally outta the bag… the secret guests are Erol Alkan and Dan Deacon!!! PLUS last minute guests Le Castle Vania and Hollywood Holt. PLUS Totally Michael, Acid Girls, Wallpaper and [...]

South Central just gave us their remix for the Wombats to premiere — I fucking love the break in “Backfire at the Disco.” It totally comes out of nowhere inserting a dose of the original before it jumps back to electro rave. Ha. The track struggles with its sound throughout (in a good way) but [...]

KIM is one talented cat. The producer/drummer/programmer and one half of The Presets has been getting remixed of late. Tomboy’s take is my favourite. Modular Records is set to release a series of limited edition KIM 12″s in the coming months. Definately worth a purchase.

K.I.M. – “Party Machini” [...]

Dystopia is old news to most of us by now — but Midnight Juggernauts is finally hitting shelves outside of Australia which means you won’t be alone in your love for long. You probably know this album and remix inside and out, and there’s not a damn thing that we can say about Dystopia that [...]

Is Van She the new Bravery? Not only will they be going on tour together in June, but Van She’s new video looks like a page out of Sam Endicott’s playbook. The clip could be better but “Strangers” as a song is pretty damn likeable. Look for it with remixes by Yuksek, Strip Steve and [...]

I really like Panthers. They’re cool animals. As seen by the picture Panther dlx are pretty cool too. I’ve seen Panther dlx play live several times now, and the kids seem to dig it. They have such a seasoned on stage presence for a band who has only played a handful of shows.

Ah, listening to this remix I couldn’t help but think of simpler times when all you had to do was throw on some hot pants and call yourself Electroclash to be cool. Nowadays you need to be from LA, remixed by someone from LA, or… in this case, both. It’s all so complicated. Anyway, another [...]

The boys from Database are back with two excellent remixes. First up is of “Personal Fuck” by Jo Mistinguett… I’m in love. I thought this was just a super good remix but then tracked down the original and realized it’s just a good a song period. Database helps though:

Kap Bambino – “Save” (YouTube via GSD)

Woah, we’ve been posting a lot of Designer Drugs as of late. And I suspect this won’t be the last we hear from them. For reals. They’re everywhere these days. They recently remixed FLOU and push the original into something much more dynamic. Hot track both on and off designer drugs:

The E.L.F. hooked us up with a new remix by ONEMANPARTY (which is the new project of Steve Slingeneyer from Soulwax) of his track “Stevie Nicks Hearts.” The charming awkwardness of the original is stripped away and the song is turned into a late night jam for midnight make out sessions. I swear to god. [...]

I’m not gonna lie to you. KATO is one of my favourite dj’s. It’s hard not to dance along when you see him shaking along behind the decks. I’ve been shaking along ever since listening to his new mix and people, no ableton tricks on this one. Kato’s shakin it old school with a good [...]

Straight out of Brazil, Madame Mim is a nice inbox surprise — so much fun. Gotta say on a surface level she looks as colorful as Yelle, but her music is more akin to a lot of DIY electro-pop coming out of the States (and elsewhere): very danceable, very pop, very dirty and rough around [...]

So I’m heading out to Venezuela and Colombia and possibly Brazil for some much needed vacation/work. Gotta keep this going one country at a time.

Dates to be confirmed in São Paolo and Bogota, but here are the one’s that are:
Caracas:
SAT 19 AEON DJ BAR (ORTKELE ANIVERSARY)
WES 23 PRAGA BAR (w/ORTKELE+ KARNE FREZKA)
THURS 24 AEON DJ [...]

This made me laugh quite a bit. Any tribute to Michael Jackson with a Chromeo song is ok’d by me.
