A-Trak

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

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 [...]

The Grates

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

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)

Kasper Bjørke + Tomboy

Monday, June 16th, 2008

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 + Radioclit

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 [...]

Broke One

Monday, June 16th, 2008

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.

Broke One – “EVRBD!”

Broke One – “Tempo”

Broke One – “New Wave”
His remixes are tight to:

Casa del mirto [...]

WTF.

Hold Yr Horses

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

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

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

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

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

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 [...]
