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.

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 [...]

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 - Sweet Disposition
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.

Canadian STA just sent me this. Anyone who can sample Gerry Rafferty is a hero in my eyes.
In STA’s words Gerry-fucking-Rafferty………

STA - “Baker’s Dozen”
And he’s also done this nice little September mixtape, enjoy.

Tracklisting

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 [...]

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 has [...]

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.
I had not seen the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
