La Roux

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

I have to admit that I’ve been kinda obsessed with Eleanor Jackson aka La Roux ever since her “Quicksand” first popped up on Kitsune. Well, well La Roux has another brilliant track up her sleeve: “Fascination.”
“Fascination” has an awkwardness that is both beautiful and brilliant… all packed into an irresistible melody. If “Quicksand” was channeling [...]

The Mezzanine here in San Francisco has given us the great opportunity to give tickets away for their shows tonight for Soulwax and for Saturday for Switch!!! Don’t miss this great opportunity to see a fucking amazing show at a great venue. This is the deal send me something stupid or funny whether a picture, [...]

Pharaoh

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Pharaoh (of Todosantos’ fame) sent out a new mixtape. There are some super fucking great tracks on this one… including his own remix of Ninjasonik. A must download to keep you up all night — or for at least the next fifty nine minutes:

Party Sausage

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Party Sausage = 1/2 of Partyshank; the party half (Christian Shank being the shank half). This blog post is reading like a mad man’s diary. Whatever.
If you’re familiar with Kids In Glass Houses then don’t dismiss this remix right away — it pretty much sounds like the original in a blender… which to my ears [...]

The Whip

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Last week, in New York during CMJ I caught up with The Whip to talk about their Official U.S. release of “X Marks Destination”, touring in America, sex, death and horror flix.
For those that are new to your music can you describe your music.
Danny – It’s electronic music, isn’t it?
Nathan – Electronic dance music played [...]

Munk + Shazam

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

“Down In L.A.” is the lastest single from MUNK’s album Cloudbuster and has gotten the remix treatment from none other than Shazam. Video above, single on iTunes.

We Have Band

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

We Have Band - Oh! from We Have Band on Vimeo.
The video for We Have Band’s “Oh!” seems a little contrived, yeah. But whatevers. It doesn’t take away from the post-wave pop radness of the song itself. And all and all not a bad video for the band’s debut single — as long as you [...]

Cosmo Vitelli Australian Tour

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Cosmo Vitelli, one half of Bot’Ox and founder of Parisian label I’m A Cliché, is about to arrive in Australia for a stint of dates.
To celebrate he’s sent me over this eclectic mixtape full of current tracks, remixes and edits by some of my current favourites including Runaway and Pete Herbert, one half of LSB [...]

Ladyhawke

Ladyhawke - “My Delirium”
Certainly one of the better Ladyhawke videos, but it still kinda feel like they’re throwing singles like darts with the hawke hoping one hits a bulls eye — any bulls eye. I dunno. But like every other Ladyhawke single, the best part lies in the remixes — Toddla T & Ross Orton, [...]
