The Count & Sinden + Rye Rye + Don Rimini

The Count & Sinden + Rye Rye + Don Rimini

September 30th, 2008

Don Rimini’s remix of “Hardcore Girls” is kinda funny because it starts out all expected and then goes off into vampire rave mode and you forget you’re in a Count & Sinden track till he brings it back at the end… til it bounces out into space. A couple brilliant moment in the span of [...]

Little Boots + Richard X

September 29th, 2008

OK. BIGSTEREO has official reached creepy stalker levels with our posts on Little Boots. It’s almost embarrassing really. If only she didn’t make blogging so easy with super good and accessible material. Really, there’s nothing I can say that you don’t already know or I haven’t been all like BLAH BLAH BLAH before. “Bring It [...]

Dragonette + The Whip

Dragonette + The Whip

September 29th, 2008

Dragonette is coming to America which means we get to live the promo cycle for Galore again — the silver lining of delayed North American releases. I’m pretty sure The Whip’s remix of “Competition” is new this time around, though I could be wrong, but whatever — it’s the best “Competition” remix I’ve heard to [...]

Cruel Black Dove

September 28th, 2008

Aw, Cruel Black Dove kinda reminds me of Scanners — or digging further back maybe PJ Harvey. Or maybe just Cruel Black Dove. But anyway, definitely some much needed dark soul rock that’s filling a void in my music collection. RCRD LBL has a Clapp remix worth checking out here or stream it

Magic Wands

Magic Wands

September 27th, 2008

I kinda wasn’t into Magic Wands til I heard their “Teenage Love” — actually, I was really into Magic Wands on a visual level but wasn’t so much into “Black Magic.” “Teenage Love” brought the visual and audio together into one of those perfect music aha moments that I felt the need to share and [...]

Little Boots + Designer Drugs = blog bro party? Little Boots and Designer Drugs may both be the current blog darlings — so no doubt this remix will be everywhere.

AUTOKRATZ – “Stay The Same” We can’t always stay the same. So. How brilliant is this video? For like fifty different reasons. Evolution, genetics, food, you are what you eat… aw, it’s all here. AutoKratz’s album is out now on Kitsune. Buy it.

The Teenagers + Twins

The Teenagers + Twins

September 24th, 2008

We used to blog about the Teenagers all the time. And then we didn’t for a long time. I wonder what happened? Let’s be honest with ourselves and admit that the Teenagers are a novelty act. That’s why you love them or hate them but are never indifferent. It is also why I am sitting [...]

OrtzRoka

September 23rd, 2008

Sucker for three things: 1) Covers, 2) Joy Division and 3) OrtzRoka. Bonus points for all three. OrtzRoka’s cover never strays far from the original — but “Love Will Tear Us Apart” certainly lends itself well to OrtzRoka. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] OrtzRoka – “Love Will Tear Us Apart” Check OrtzRoka’s DJ [...]

VV Brown + Hannah Holland

VV Brown + Hannah Holland

September 23rd, 2008

Hannah Holland has re-worked this VV Brown song taking it from a classic rock vibe to a house-y club mix with hints of diva vocals popping out. Kinda one of those remixes where you may love the original and hate the remix or vice versa. Or maybe both if you swing that way. Anyway. This [...]

September 22nd, 2008

Larry Tee just finished up this mixtape of some of his choice unreleased tracks, cuts and remixes. Think of this as a little taste of his forthcoming album, Club Badd (named after THE Club Badd), due out this winter. Some good stuff going on here. And yeah… I’m still a total sucker for that Herve [...]

The Temper Trap

September 22nd, 2008

Here’s the video for The Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition” — visuals and sounds kinda haunting. And kinda wonderful. EDIT: Back up & better quality! Video by the fabulous Moop Jaw.

Lauren Flax

September 20th, 2008

Lauren Flax was kind enough to share her debut single “You’ve Changed” with us — the single will be released on Alexander Techniques’ label DANR as a Beatport exclusive. Sia of Zero 7 fame lends her voice on the track. There’s something about the melody that kinda reminds me of classic Janet Jackson but I [...]

Mt. Sims

September 19th, 2008

We posted a Mt. Sims reminder post a couple months back — well now Sim’s third full length Happily Ever After is right around the corner and the promo cycle is in full swing. “The Bitten Bite Back” is a surprising new direction — We got a glimpse of this with “Grave,” but Mt. Sims [...]

HEARTSREVOLUTION

September 19th, 2008

Astute reader “El Dorado” left this comment on our recent HEARTSREVOLUTION post: They may be trying to mature as artists… but whats with all this romanticizing suicide bullshit? The video for Digital Suicide is pure cheese. … Promoting suicide is known as one of the lamest gimmicks a band can use to sound ‘edgy’… continued. [...]

Light’s Down Low

September 18th, 2008

So the truth must be told, 222 Hyde was bought out and BigStereo’s Light’s Down Low is coming to a hault until further notice. We are very sad to see this place go and the combination of venue and party will be missed incredibly. On a side note we were nominated for best party in [...]

UFO!

September 17th, 2008

My dopplegänger is back with a release of a new video for his song “Forbidden Love”, which was on his full length from Sanguine Records entitled ‘Logic is Lunacy’. The song is beautiful already, but the video adds a new dimension. Reminding me of the days of the band Figurine, this video is a slap [...]
