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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

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 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:

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 [...]

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.”

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 [...]

Another Monday, another Black Ghosts video — this week it’s “Something New” in a silent-esque film direct by Chiara!!
Story behind the video: “Two characters from the turn of the century, a doctor/scientist and a clown/magician, walk through one day in their lives in search for something new to break the monotony of repetition. [...]

The third instalment of my Italian fetish gives you The Phonograph a seriously catchy tune called “The Absence” in which they sampled a fellow Italian, David Genco. Listen to the original and you will see what a great job these guys did.

In town here in NYC and preparing for the fun tonight at Webster Hall, where he will be djing a massive event hosted by our friends at GBH, Famous Friends, BPM magazine, 66Sick and others, Vincent from Midnight Juggernauts took some time off of the Coney Island Mermaid Parade to chat with me about [...]
