Digging this quite a bit, reminds me of Hidden Cameras and a melodic Suicide. Credit to Isaiah Seret.

Never to shy away from theatrics, Patrick Wolf is back with his new single, “Hard Time.” Flip the switch and black lights change everything.

Dan Black – “Symphonies” Dan Black has been making heads turn the world over with his Biggie/not-Biggie “HYPNTZ”/”Symphonies” song. The track was originally recorded as a cover but Black had to rewrite the lyrics due to issues with B.I.G.’s estate. With or without Biggie the song is totally catchy. Anyway “Symphonies” not only received the [...]

Major Lazer “Zumbie” ft. Andy Milonakis All I can say is “LMAO!”

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I hope none of you forgot that YACHT‘s new album,  See Mystery Lights, drops tomorrow! I am so excited about this. The single, “Psychic City”,  is simply beautiful. The repeated chanting of  “hang around baby baby” oddly brings me to tears. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] YACHT – “Psychic City” [...]

Canada’s U-Tern has been a busy boy with official remixes of the likes of Britney Spears, Beastie Boys, Lizzy Trullie, and LMFAO. On top of the remixes he has his blog and radio segment. In between all of this hes done this remix of an old (1981) disco funk tune “Dance On The Groove” by [...]

Duchess Says – “Black Flag” Check out the video for Duchess Says near classic “Black Flag.” The video splices together “a new age conspiracy film from 1984.” Supposedly. Wild. I love the people thrashing on the floor. The band has also released an EP on Backyard called “Begging The 3 T’s.” Not sure there’s anything [...]

BigStereo is coming to you Argentina, make sure to stop by and party with all of us. Party is on the 30th.

Dime & Mind (uh, Diamond Mine?) is a new band out of Seattle. Not too much info on these guys. But “Black Cherry Disco” is their standout track which has a bit of a dark disco flavor with hints of electro shining through. Promising: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Dime & Mind – [...]

New video from Numéro# for “Tout est Parfait” off their album Sport de Combat.

DAT Politics, the french eclectro rockers, are back again with a new full length titled ‘Mad Kit’. This album is full of jerk dance, synth and drum machine drenched goodness. Their punk and riot inducing electro edge is so raw and unforgiving that it makes the listener feel used and abused. One of the most [...]

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – “Ducks” This is so sick it hurts. And just wait until you hear the ep that will be out soon on Greco-Roman — or at least “Bournemouth.” Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs… I wanna jump in that mind and live there. This track is so fun… Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – [...]

Idjut Boy’s record label Tirk would have to be up there as one of my favourite labels having released artists Chaz Jankel, Todd Terje, Greg Wilson, and Fujiya Miyagi to name just a few. Tirk’s latest sampler as always was full of gems. A standout track was Acos Coolkas’s instrumental track Free Flight. Its a [...]

HEARTSREVOLUTION – “薔薇と彼女の王子 (The Rose and Her Prince)” Aw man, HEARTSREVOLUTION’s new video for “薔薇と彼女の王子” is an edit of the original Little Prince movie from the 70′s. I dunno if I’m loving it because nostalgia has taken over or if it’s just a really good edit or both. But the video definitely fits the song [...]

Just when you thought your one year lease was up on The Basta, Rainbow Arabia comes back with a new mini-album to keep your ears busy for the next year. Judging from “Haunted Hall,” Kabukimono promises that Rainbow Arabia is headed in the same direction. I kinda imagine this will be our soundtrack shortly after [...]

Marina and the Diamonds is back with another release on Neon Gold, The Crown Jewels EP. “Seventeen” isn’t quite as big as “Obsessions,” but it’s an interesting direction. And further proof that Marina’s voice and songwriting is a force. Look forward to hearing the rest of the EP — promise of a Starsmith remix on [...]

Oh man I cannot decide if I like the original version of Golden Silvers’ “Arrows of Eros” or The Shoes tough remix. Both fill a need. And both scream Summer. Whatever. “Arrows of Eros” will takeover your ears even after you’ve had enough. Sure of that: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Golden Silvers [...]

I know there are some Sneaky Sound System haters out there in Bigstereo-land, but set aside your feelings and give this remix a try. Sneaky Sound System have proven to be best in remix form and Thin White Duke leads the pack, duh. This is classic Stuart Price… layered synth dreams. He kinda resurrects his [...]

Maps – “Let Go Of The Fear” First things first, click on the “HQ” button on the video embed above. It’s worth the one click. You may have heard Maps is back… and while his 2007 effort was totally on point and successful on so many different levels, the time “feels right” for James Chapman [...]
