Charlie Why!

Charlie Why!

April 15th, 2008

Seventeen year old Charlie Why! should probably be hanging out at a chocolate factory with Willy Wonka. But instead he is mucking around on Logic 8 making experimental tunes which remind me of Jackson and His Computer Band (all hail jackson). I spoke with Charlie the other night and he reckons he has some more [...]

Jeppe

Jeppe

April 15th, 2008

JEPPE!! Jeppe from Junior Senior is working on a solo album that sounds very, very promising. His first song is a cover of Fine Young Cannibals “Johnny Come Home” and was recorded with Filip from Guns’N’Bombs and Thomas Troeslen from Private (and a million other projects). Funny enough Filip used to play bass in Junior [...]

Is the Bumblebeez’s Prince Umberto & the Sister of Ill ever gonna come out in America?? God only knows. But this “Ed Records Allstars” remix of “Pump Up The Bass” by DJ Mehdi & Busy P just landed in our inbox so I guess we have something to hold us over a bit. Dirrrty:

Cloetta Paris

Cloetta Paris

April 14th, 2008

Last year we introduced you to the Sally Shapiro-esque Cloetta Paris — we were all hot for their similar icy, italo-disco style. Well the duo is back and with a full length release on Skywriting Records. The record comes out on 4/22, and you can pre-order it through their website — for only $10 which [...]

BMX

April 14th, 2008

Ethics? Blogs don’t care about ethics! But I want to be straight up because you know Jad from BMX is writing on this site. That said… I’d be posting this song even if Jad and I were worst enemies or wrote for Missing Toof (nothing against them because I love them) or something because it [...]

Protokoll + Designer Drugs

Protokoll + Designer Drugs

April 13th, 2008

We’ve been so all over Designer Drugs it is not even funny. We’re addicted. Every remix is better than the last. They recently hooked up with IHEARTSCOMIX and did a remix for Protokoll which was found on Franki Chan’s Scion Mix Tape thing that everybody is kinda nuts for.

Twinpitch

April 12th, 2008

The photo doesn’t really have any relevance to this post except the fact that when I google imaged “twinpitch” it was the first result. Baseball isn’t big in Australia, and I had no idea what the image was of.
Anyway back to the music. This song isn’t new. It was released in 2005. I’m not [...]

Alphabeat + FrankMusik + Leon Jean-Marie

April 11th, 2008

Alphabeat, FrankMusik and Leon Jean-Marie recently did a cover of “Digital Love” — obviously the song itself doesn’t need an introduction. Daft Punk is pretty sacred but we’re such suckers for covers. The kids end up turning the track into the ultimate POP jam that has warm weather and first loves written all over it.

Ssion – “Day Job” (YouTube)
Ssion puts out videos like some bands bang groupies — often. Which is good because two things I like are Ssion and videos. Oh man, “Day Job” is a sentiment we can all relate to at one point in our life. Oh and. I love “Day Job” because it reminds me [...]

The Black Ghosts – “I Want Nothing” (YouTube)
So far “I Want Nothing” is my favorite song by The Black Ghosts — and I’m not just saying that. Pinky swear. The single is out on Beatport and includes an incredible mix by Sinden that you’ll want right now.

Summer Mixes

April 10th, 2008

I dunno about where you live, but over here this past Winter has been extra hard and long and snowy and never ending. Luckily, the snow is now gone and warmer days have started. Perhaps a little preemptive, but two friends of BIGSTEREO sent us some early Summer mixes to warm up these last chilly [...]

The Tough Alliance

April 10th, 2008

The Tough Alliance is back with a new b-side to their single “Neo Violence.” “Lucky” is like the perfect pop song — quiet and sweet and lyrically amazing. It reminds me of Summer and walks through fields and the sun.

UFO!

April 9th, 2008

UFO! is not new to BigStereo, but of course there’s never enough love that can be given to the man. Recently we posted a killer Air remix he did while living in Costa Rica. Recently he has packed his belonging’s and headed to New York. He recently helped us launch a new BigStereo monthly called [...]

Walter Meego

Walter Meego

April 7th, 2008

Walter Meego is seriously one of my favorite bands of the moment. Their new CD “Voyager”, which I’ve completely failed to review on time, is a masterpiece. From beginning to end it is the work of masterminds. The most romantic dance album of the past 5 years easily. Justin’s vocals melt the heart and the [...]

Headman

Headman

April 4th, 2008

I was all set to post the Bagraiders remix of Headman’s “Catch Me If U Can” — that is until I took four minutes to listen to the original and realized that any remix of this track is superfluous. Totally perfect on its own. Headman released his third studio album three weeks ago — if [...]
