So we haven’t posted as many mixes as before which I miss while I’m at work or I’m getting ready. I might have to jump on the bandwagon and become a DJ to create my own mixes. But in the meanwhile I got this mix from our good friends Gabe Vega and Saul Q (pronounced [...]

Ladyhawke – “Dusk Till Dawn” (YouTube)
All our favorite horror movies guest star in the new Keith Schofield directed video for Ladyhawke’s “Dusk Till Dawn.” Watch out for the Ghostface Killah cameo. Amusing, at the least.
See the “making of”

Thieves Like Us is back with a new EP called Your Heart Feels. The title track follows in the melodic dl pop vibe you have come to expect. The repetitiveness of their lyrics draws me in each time — there’s something mantra-ish about their songs even though their subject matter is rarely mantra-ish; or maybe [...]

Oh man Herve the man with million aliases is back as Action Man and a new EP. Teasing all us fanboys — as usual — is a three track sampler to get your palette all wet for the real thing. The sampler includes “Alarm Bell”, “Under Your Skin” and “Zombie Dance.” Look for it out [...]

Grand Popo Football Club – “Territory” (YouTube)
The original version of Grand Popo Football Club’s “Territory” is rad. The video is radder. Joakim’s remix is even radder. I want to spend the last days of summer listening to this song/video/remix on repeat. And I need to run out and create some last minute summer memories to [...]

Had this post drafted for too long, but Travis just posted Canyons’ remix of Ladyhawke so now I have no excuse keeping it a draft. Melbourne’s duo of Canyons is making me sexually aroused. “Apples and Pears” by Canyons is a favourite tune of mine. I’ve been listening to it to death.
Here’s “Big City Lights” [...]

Sydney’s Like Woah! is back with their second release on Bang Gang 12 Inches. “RAW/WAR” follows in the same tradition as their now classic “Oh I Like” release with each track on the release being a total gem.

Like Woah! – “O.S.O.F.”
“RAW/WAR” is out on August 20th. Obviously, you don’t [...]

New Santogold vid for “Lights Out” — Santi White directed by Whitey McConnaughy (who also did The Gossip’s “Listen Up”).
Are Santogold’s back up singers like Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Girls? Does she take them shopping and do they do girl things together? Does she let them talk? They’re like, everywhere.

James Kane has been sending me music for a little while now. Being only 16, I think he might have a bit of future in this game. If you’re into the whole Valerie thing, you might take a bit of a liking to “Heartthrob.”

James Kane – “Hearththrob”

Database has been stringing me along with bits and hints on their re-edit EP for a couple months now. Along with Database’s own work, they invited a bunch of their friends to contribute to the EP including Bo$$ in Drama, The Twelves, Cello Zero, Midnight Martyn, Roots Rock Revolution and Fabrizio Martinelli. WELL today is [...]

Trouble & Bass is holding a remix contest for Little Jinder’s “Polyhedron” (which we posted back here; you NEED to check it out if you haven’t already). The winner will be featured on her remix ep along with remixes by Drop The Lime, Math Head, Blackfinger, AC Slater, Goon & Koyote and more!

Shoot me in the face if Little Boots isn’t the all time best pop star to ever hit the Interwebs. If there is any justice in this world she’ll be riding at the top of the charts someday soon. Fanboy yes, but she’s got it all:

Little Boots – “Heart of Gold” (Cover)

Ladyhawke’s next single “Dusk Till Dawn” is up at the plate with mixes from The Shoes and Linus Loves. Gotta say it feels like Modular is throwing around Ladyhawke singles hoping that one will stick with the masses. Not sure who “Canyons” is (tell me in the comments) but they give Ladyhawke back her much [...]

Laurel Collective – “Vuitton Blues” (YouTube)

Underworld are making a pit stop in the U.S. this month and I got a chance to talk to Karl Hyde about Underworld’s previous life, the 90s, our current music scene, and their other artistic talents.
For those that don’t know, tell us a bit about your beginnings. You’ve been playing together since the 80s.
Yeah, [...]

Straight off Shir Khan’s Exploited label — RQM’s “Miss Pacman” is perfect amount of bounce per bass. The original is best taking you all over the place, but for the money go with the Oliver $ mix. People go ape for this:

New video for Partyshank’s “Virgin” — dirty, dirty. Thanks to We Can Be Honest for the heads up.

My friends Panther DLX are back with a solid little EP with remixes by Italy’s Casa Del Mirto and Sydney youngster CSK OK — both who I have posted on Bigstereo before (here and here). The EP titled “Into the Night” will drop sometime in September. Not long now. They are playing a few shows [...]

Ok so I might overuse the term “in love” but I am IN LOVE with Rainbow Arabia right now. This little husband and wife duo from LA pump out a raw EP with DIY punk undertones and attitude blended with an organic gypsy-ness. The way the vocals were recorded remind me of The Glass Candy [...]

Modular’s resident djs Bang Gang Deejays are back this autumn with a new mix cd called D IS FOR DISCO, E IS FOR DANCING. To keep us from dying of anticipation the Bang Gang posted up a ten minute megamix teaser on their podcast site:
