A-Trak’s new mix for Nike+ landed in my mailbox yesterday, and I have to say it’s been on repeat for the past 24 hrs. If I actually ran, like the title of the cd suggest, I’d have run myself to New Jersey by now. For reals. A-Trak’s Running Man is gonna be a must have [...]

It’s been a minute since we heard anything new from The Grates — they’re back with a new single called “Burn Bridges” off their new album, Teeth Lost Hearts Won. The video is directed by Krozm (who also did this Midnight Juggernauts video and this Van She video)

Ah, does Kasper Bjørke do any wrong?.. upping Bjørke’s own ante is his remix with Filur bandmate Tomboy of “Doesn’t Matter.” The original is pretty etherial with vocals by the Pierces, but this brings the song to the next level. Look for the single out soon on Plant Music — includes this remix, as well [...]

Thieves Like Us – “Program of the First Part”
When I was a kid I thought TRON was the future — in some ways it is. But not in the literal sense I was hoping for. Anyway, Thieves Like Us released a teaser video for their upcoming album Play Music… which is how I want the [...]

Franki Chan and Radioclit are heading off on a mini-June tour and to celebrate they’re dropping a couple mixtapes. Franki recently released a mixtape as part of the NLLR series and Radioclit is letting go of an unreleased BBC mix. Check them out live for FREE in a city near you — and yo, Crystal [...]

I have a strange little fetish for Italian music of late. Broke One has a nice little ep “We’re Crossing the Same Road” which the following 3 tunes are from. The whole ep is worth a listen.

WTF.

Come out to the original BigStereo party, at three years old now this party always has held itself close to my heart. This was the beginning and the end will happen here as well. Come out and feel the love with the stiffest cheapest drinks and tightest carpeted dance floor on the west coast.
Enjoy the [...]

Muscles has been quiet for a minute but he is back and with a video for one of my favorite tracks from his Guns Babes Lemonade album: “The Lake.” Director Jaron Albertin unveils a somewhat nightmarish vision for the song — not sure if I’ll ever hear it the same again.

Bufi(pronounced boofee) from Mexico City has been tearing up my itunes for a few weeks now. Eric Lebleu hooked me up with some dates down there, hence the BigStereo mexico tour, and one of my first nights I played with Bufi and Nuuro(of which you will hear of soon). Bufi’s sound is totally in it’s [...]

I dunno why but I feel like I want some Reeboks real bad. OK, the email said:

Kitsune has been on a roll with the autoKratz singles — releasing one stellar single after another. Their fourth single, “Stay the Same”, will be released this June and continues in the tradition. This leaves me wanting only one thing: stop with the singles and start with the album!!

I will never regret saying they are on my list of top ten bands ever.

Another Monday another Black Ghosts video — by now you know the drill… the Black Ghosts blah blah blah Cult-Geist blah blah blah IAMSOUND Records blah Missing Toof blah and blah blah blah.

The Black Ghosts – “I Don’t Know” (imeem)
“I Don’t Know” is directed by Gordon Hull of Surface to Air fame. When I read [...]

Don Cash just won’t stop – 11 records just isn’t enough for this poet whiz kid. He will soon be releasing yet another album, Don Cash III, on Headman’s Relish label. He sent over two preview tracks to hold us down meanwhile and they don’t disspoint at all. He seems to bend genres touching on [...]

We’ve post about Robots in Disguise a few times before, but the duo has the next single off their We’re In The Music Biz album so it is time for another nod. “The Tears” is hitting stores the end of June and gotta say Billions Dollar DJs is the highlight:

Alan Braxe ft. Killa Kela & Fallon – “Nightwatcher (Show Me)” (YouTube)
