La Roux

La Roux

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 [...]

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

Party Sausage

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

The Whip

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?

We Have Band

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 [...]

Ladyhawke

October 24th, 2008

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, [...]

The Bang Gang Deejays + The Presets

The Bang Gang Deejays + The Presets

October 24th, 2008

Now that the Presets have won three Arias (the Australian version of the Grammy) we can assume they’re gonna go all mainstream on us — expect Gap ads. Ha! But for real. Modular’s resident djs — The Bang Gang — have put out their second disc for the label and have created an exclusive remix [...]

Matthew Dear + The Juan Maclean

Matthew Dear + The Juan Maclean

October 22nd, 2008

Watch out. Matthew Dear and The Juan Maclean collide. The Juan Maclean have provided Matthew Dear with four remixes of “Pom Pom”, the latest and greatest single from the critically acclaimed Asa Breed. Yes four. I imagine Ghostly International played it smart and realized the DFA nerds wouldn’t be interested in anything but the Maclean [...]

Keith

Keith

October 22nd, 2008

First off. Keith is a band and not a man.
“Up In The Clouds” is the first track off their forthcoming album, Vice & Virtue. It has some straight up bass that when coupled with guitar sounds like the ground is gonna erupt below your feet. There’s something totally unnerving and raw and driving to [...]

Jimmy2Sox and J-Flex

October 22nd, 2008

Jimmy2Sox and J-Flex aren’t using the pseudonym “To Shades” anymore — I posted To Shades way back here. However, they are still making some cool remixes and originals. Here is their remix of Cat Empire’s off-shoot Jackson Jackson.

Little Boots + CMJ

October 19th, 2008

Little Boots is making a huge splash this year’s CMJ — she’ll be playing live and dj-ing a ton of showcases and parties. Of course, I recommend catching her dj our party, but that still leaves quite a few opportunities to catch her perform live with the band…
“Mathematics” live :

Boots is also streaming [...]

Matt & Kim

October 19th, 2008

IHEARTCOMIX pointed us in the direction of the new Matt & Kim video for “Daylight.” I’m still convinced Matt & Kim are muppets… especially when they’re in the fridge and dumpster. And I’m also convinced that their popularity (or at least some of it) is owed to the fact that they’re always smiling. People like [...]

Nid & Sancy

Nid & Sancy

October 18th, 2008

Nid & Sancy dropped a new track!! “Kidzz” is a guitar driven anthem with hints of distortion and fuzziness. It sounds like the party and the morning after all in one single song. And with lyrics simple enough to be taken up as a call of action, the track itself is begging for a dance [...]
