Playdoe

May 14th, 2008

Spoek + Sibot = Playdoe. You’re already familiar with Spoek from Sweat.X… well Playdoe is his other project and is more proof that Spoek is a very promising new mc. The two just released their debut EP which delivers a healthy and much needed dose of a new breed of post-electro hip-hop. [Audio clip: view [...]

Son Green

Son Green

May 14th, 2008

There seems to be some cool stuff coming out of Ireland of late. I really like the stuff JAPE has been doing. Son Green has taken his Jape remix the opposite direction in which the other remixes of floating have gone. Son Green’s tunes aren’t really suitable for the club, but I’m really getting into [...]

The Black Ghosts

May 12th, 2008

Ok, if you read this blog on a regular basis you know my obsession with The Black Ghosts. It’s kinda creepy. But being creepy paid off. The Black Ghosts teamed up with CULT-GEIST to have a video commissioned for each song from their debut album due for release July 8th on IAMSOUND Records. IAMSOUND asked [...]

La Chansons

La Chansons

May 12th, 2008

“Sparklin” is my fav song off La Chansons’ Love Love Love All Day — they recently gave the track a bit of a facelift and now it is even more of a favorite. Such a perfect little pop song… all about rediscovering yr youth through a pair of twenty year old skates. We were solid [...]

Peaches

May 9th, 2008

Peaches – “Get It” (YouTube, thank you GSD) The best Peaches ever — so perfect. Kinda reminds me of one of Adrian Piper’s early art projects… or maybe just a modern retelling of Rapunzel. I would’ve loved to witness the random people who witnessed the filming of this…

Le Corps Mince de Françoise

Le Corps Mince de Françoise

May 7th, 2008

Woah, I am in blogglove. Le Corps Mince de Françoise is so fucking wacky. Perhaps CSS would’ve nerded out like this had they been born in Helsinki. Or they kinda remind me of Chicks on Speed re-imagined for 2010. And yeah, well it may be way too early to declare this, but Le Corps Mince [...]

Shadow Dancer + Dolby Anol

Shadow Dancer + Dolby Anol

May 7th, 2008

“Cowboiz” is one of those records you’re gonna end up hearing everywhere… and is the next single release on Boys Noize records — Dolby Anol had a take at the Shadow Dancer track and came up with something perfect. Due to timing, the remix didn’t quite make it onto the single, but aw — that’s [...]

Annie

Annie + Get Shakes

May 7th, 2008

I dunno if we’re more excited to have a new Annie single or a Get Shakes remix. Probably the latter, but Annie is alright too I guess. Anyway, this was sent out to all the blogs today so it’s the must listen for May 7th: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Annie – “I [...]

Hugh Frost is back under his moniker Sportsday Megaphone with a new single and debut album set for release this summer on Sunday Best. “Young Lust” is the perfect song heading into summer for anyone looking to score their first love. Total flashback for anyone else. Something perfect and timeless about this one: [Audio clip: [...]

Salem

Salem

May 6th, 2008

Salem has been blipping on and off the radar for a few months now. Totally bizarre — one of those bands you listen to and say, “why isn’t everyone doing this?” Like so simple and unique that a genre explosion is sure to follow after. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Salem – “Brustreet” [...]

Debbie Harry

Debbie Harry

May 5th, 2008

Dear Debbie Harry, What could I say on BIGSTEREO that would even being to measure up to the icon that you are… I’m just gonna end up sounding like a total fanboy and embarrass myself for like ever. Debbie Harry has been writing and recording some new tracks, and “Fit Right In” is from these [...]

Metronomy

May 4th, 2008

You guys know my love for this band, I don’t have to go into detail. I’m anticipating the full length and good news is it’s almost here. Here is the video to their single ‘My Heart Rate Rapid’ directed by BigStereo friend and sister in crime Dandi Wind. She never disappoints.

Skins vs Calvin Harris vs Lady Gaga

Skins vs Calvin Harris vs Lady Gaga

May 2nd, 2008

Which house party would you rather be at?? Lady Gaga’s party looks like the party after the Skins kids are done… and only the creeps are still out. Total rip off right down to the mascot bear. And doesn’t the first 10 seconds synth sound like it could be a direct rip from Matt & [...]

Beaufort

May 2nd, 2008

Beaufort is Quincey Beaufort and Brigitte LeGrand. There music is pretty special. Quincey tells me there will be a proper blog appearing soon to track Beauforts creative process. As these two cool cats are filmmakers as well I think it will be a blog worth a look. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Beaufort [...]
