Trouble & Bass is ready to show their softer side with the release of Little Jinder’s “Polyhedron” EP on August 5th. The vox come off as your ‘typical’ whimsical Icelandic/Nordic/Swedish pop fairy chick, but um the production is pretty damn fresh.

And “Polyhedron” is great and all but it’s like the [...]

Outlaws and Le Castle Vania bring us a couple new Walter Meego remixes for you guys from two different directions.
Outlaws takes “Girl” and adds in a little Bryan Adams circa Robin Hood into the mix… which might be the first time I’ve ever enjoyed Bryan Adams so congrats. Le Castle Vania’s mix of “Through [...]

Mount Sims was always my favorite of the electroclash generation… in 2002, “How We Do” was the anthem all by itself, and I must’ve listened to Ultra Sex one point one million times. His sophomore release Wild Lights ended up getting a lot less play on my stereo… partly due to it’s release during a [...]

The Presets - “Talk Like That” (YouTube)
During his recent interview on BIGSTEREO, K.I.M. mentioned the video for “Talk Like That” directed by Jonas & François (who also did the “D.A.N.C.E” video) — well, here it is. Watch a creepy Presets’ fangirl dance around and destroy their instruments. Who hasn’t been there? Kinda brilliant.

“Mama’s Boy” debuted on MTV.com over the weekend… in case you missed it, for all the mama’s boys:

I need (need) to share a song with you that is so easily on my top ten list of favorite songs of the year — if not decade. And no, that’s not a hyperbole. “The Rose” is epic. This builds up to the most fabulous break. I imagine it being like three am and the [...]

I expressed my ode to Cosmo Vitelli’s Cliché record label a couple of weeks back. Cliché are doing some releases of New York’s duo of Marcos Cabral and Jacques Renault also known as Runaway. Cosmo is definitely on the money.

Runaway - “She Did It For The Money”

Runaway - “The Lorimer Stop”

My most favorite part about Invasion is their drummer looks like she’s never missed Ozzfest. And no sarcasm html tags needed… for real. But it’s the energetic frontwoman who pushes this track to the top of my playlist… Chan is like a Tina Turner for the twothousandtens.
Invasion’s debut album is being produced by James Shaw [...]

I was just sitting around wondering out loud, “Whatever happened to Friendly Fires? I super loved their first couple eps/single.” So I jumped on the MySpace, and sure enough their debut album is right around the corner. Good news.
That said, I’m not sure I am totally sold on “Jump In The Pool”… it’s kinda [...]

In New York for a DJ set, K.I.M. from The Presets took a moment to talk to me about The Presets, their work ethic, his time as a Raver, and In & Out burger.

What were you doing in London?
We were touring. We did a couple of weeks in the UK, did some dates in Europe, [...]
