Maybe just because it’s a slow news week, but Wiiwaa is for all you hipster-tots out there. Best use of D.A.N.C.E. In 2009?

Magic Wands – “Kiss Me Dead” Our favorite boy/girl duo Magic Wands are back again with a video for “Kiss Me Dead” off their Magic, Love and Dreams EP. So good.

NSFW: Yeasayer – “Ambling Alp” I’ve been a bit hesitant to post anything about the new Yeasayer. Mostly because the Stereogum/Pitchfork types have already shot their proverbial collective load all over it — but whatever. I’ve been eating and breathing Odd Blood for a few weeks now, and you should be too. It is quite [...]

Little Boots – “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”

“It's Christmas (And It Won't Be The Last)” Christmas is here once again — a signal that the year is grinding to a halt and a new year is ready to begin. Tahiti Boy of Palmtree Family fame has put together a Christmas song featuring fellow musicians, artists and friends that feels so natural that [...]

I’ve posted Rui Maia on Bigstereo previously, and he’s sent over some more tunes under his other production alias Mirror People. The tunes included this tight original “Diamonds” and this remix of the brilliant Neon Indian. Dope!

UK duo Tape to Tape (formerly The Devil Made Me Do It) have an EP out through Headman’s Relish label titled “The Devil Made Me Do It.” It features 3 tracks titled I, II, III and a great remix by another UK duo the C90s. The EP’s full of warm, analog synths, nice chords, and [...]

Hecuba – “The Magic” Was loving this album earlier this year, and still am. This video is amazing. Credit to Isaiah Seret.

Oh No Ono has been getting a lot of buzz and there’s not much question as to why. These guys put out a really great album called “Eggs” earier this year which is just now getting released here in the States. The album has this band from Denmark embodying classic English and American bands yet [...]

Here we have an All Leather video that was shot on tour with Bloody Beetroots, who also remixed the track. There’s something about Justin Pearson’s stage presence that still gives me chills and makes my eyes and ears bleed after all these years.

At the height of the bloghouse bubble there was a track that epitomized the entire scene — Ocelot’s “Our Time.” With Daft Punk gestures and “live today, die tomorrow” lyrics, it was the ultimate anthem of anyone sporting DayGlo and Reeboks. And a rather elusive anthem at that as it was often trainspotted but never [...]

Sia – “You’ve Changed” The song lives on and on and on…

Golden Bug has been getting a huge amount of blog attention of late. His electronic disco is sounding fresh and very much his own. His Assassin EP recently released on Bang Gang 12 Inches is a slamming release. Here’s another taste from it. Also check out his WhoMadeWho remix. Bomb! [Audio clip: view full post [...]

The XX seem to be very flavour of the month, and there’s no doubt going to be a stack of people doing covers. Canada’s Vitaminsforyou has done a brilliant mellow electronic version of “Shelter.” Soothing stuff. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] vitaminsforyou- “Shelter”

It’s here!! This remix has been loved so much and it hasn’t barely been heard yet. Van She and Holy Ghost together, does it get better? And does it live to the hype/expectations? Let us know… [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Van She – “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” (Holy Ghost! B-live remix) Bacardi [...]

Adam Freeland is releasing his album ‘Cope’ and with it comes some remixes by some pretty big names in the blog scene. Here is a remix done by none other than Siriusmo that gets a little industrial at points but calms it all down with the strings. I love what he did with the vocals, [...]

We Have Band – “Honeytrap” We Have Band’s video for “Honeytrap” is out — directed by Price James, it’s a bit of a travel log of their recent trip to Dubai. Not as visually stunning as “You Came Out” but nice. Download “Honeytrap” from We Have Band’s website or the Le Matos remix here.

MillionYoung let us post two tracks a few weeks ago, and now we have another great track called “Mien” from the forthcoming “Be So True” EP that will be released by Arcade Sound Ltd. on the 19th of January. It’s great to hear electropop again with fuzzy guitars, reminds me of Soviet. Big heart, big [...]

Congratulations to Birds & Batteries who just made 7×7′s top ten Bay Area Albums of 2009. Their EP “Up To No Good” is a refreshing blend of pop, electro, and rock that reminds me of Queens of the Stone Age gone Gomma Records. “The Villain” is a stand out track that reminds me of a [...]
