The Keyishe

Monday, June 30th, 2008

P-p-party rap ebbs and flows. The Keyishe’s “Hollywood to Tokyo” sounds more akin to electroclash than new rave — which in this current soundscape somehow manages to be refreshing. These kids keep it stripped down and kinda minimal by channeling some classic freestyle and electro. “H2T” seems to have its money on the fact that [...]

Eine Kleine Nacht Musik

Monday, June 30th, 2008

This photo and mixtape make me long for an endless summer. Eine Kleine Nacht Musik is the side project of Riton. For all you classical music buffs, “Eine Kleine Nacht Musik” is also a composition by Mozart and translates to “a small serenade” or “a little night music” (according to Wikipedia). Anyway. If this mixtape [...]

The Rhythm Method

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Sebastien Grainger (ex-DFA1979) is set to drop his first release under the moniker The Rhythm Method (his “party” alias). But when you hear “party” don’t think electro bangers in the style of his ex-bandmate’s MSTRKRFT… or even along the lines of “Let’s Make Out” by DIOYY in which Grainger leant vocals. The double A-side features [...]

Goon & Koyote

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Disque Primeur sent us over Goon & Koyote’s EP release “Wellness Is Wild”. DJ Goon and DJ Koyote have been handling the french house and tittie booty bass scene next to some of the top players in the scene and their last release “Diamond Grills” was a must have for every fan of booty house [...]

Roshambo

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Roshambo are basically just dudes. 4 dudes in fact. Sleater Brockman, Spruce Lee, Moriarty and Jimmy Sing make up the collective. Have you ever seen the ad on tv I think it is selling tinned fruit or something? Anyway the famous Australian kayakers the awesome foursome are in the ad humming a tune. I’ve just [...]

Munk + Ed Banger All Stars

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I almost skipped past this remix — for similar reasons expressed recently by Nik at BiBaBiDi — but I gave it a second and was actually kinda pleasantly surprised. Ed Bangers All Stars (Busy P and DSL) deliver something a bit different than the formulaic bangers we’ve grown immune to… Ok, so maybe not something [...]

South Central

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

South Central are back with a remix for the new Sneaky Sound System single “Pictures.” This is less of a banger than some of South Central’s previous work and feels like a tease with the original song — stretched out and distorted at all the right moments:

Sneaky Sound System - “Pictures” (South Central remix) (mp3)
Pictures: [...]

Black Kids + SQZMYLMNS

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Ok, I have to be honest and say I wasn’t super crazy about the SQZMYLMNS remix that Melissa posted the other week. It was alright, but didn’t really add to original for me. That said, SQZMYLMNS’ new Black Kids remix totally does it for me… adding some much needed craziness to the original. SQZMYLMNS brings [...]

The Whip

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Let’s try this again — there was a prob with the original video so now it’s back up again. If you missed it the first time around, check out The Whip’s new video for their next single — “Blackout.”

Wolf & Cub

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

You’d have to dig deep into the vaults of BIGSTEREO to find our first post on Wolf & Cub, oh those were the days. Fast forward a few years to now, and Wolf & Cub are planning their sophomore release produced by none of there than Christopher Colonna of Bumblebeez fame. Ah, we love it [...]
