GusGus – “Add This Song”
When GusGus is on they are on and they are on with “Add This Song.” You’ll want to pay attention to the video — kinda creepy. And it’s not one you’ll want to miss a beat on. The track itself is one of their more interesting one from recent years. Off [...]

August 31st, 2009

Memory Tapes’ “Plain Material” is kinda the perfect follow-up to “Bicycle.” Though certainly anything off Seek Magic would be a perfect follow-up. Kinda the perfect album to close Summer with…

HEALTH + CFCF

August 29th, 2009

CFCF’s last outing with HEALTH brought us the most memorable remix of “Triceratops” to date. It’s even still getting a ton of blog play. Wellwellwell CFCF is back with another memorable HEALTH remix — this time around for “Before Tigers” off their new album, Get Colors. As you can probably imagine CFCF strips away much [...]

August 26th, 2009

After a bit of a hiatus, Teenagersintokyo are back!! Seriously been wondering what happened to these kids. “Isabella” pretty much picks off from where the band left off — you know, the sum of everything you love. So good.

Visitor + Fear of Tigers

Visitor + Fear of Tigers

August 26th, 2009

Fear of Tigers’ remix of VISITOR’s “Los Feelings” kinda downplays any complaints I may have had of the original. Kinda wish this was the original. Still might be a little too theatric but it will definitely sweep you off your feet and try to steal your heart. Wish John Hughes didn’t die so he could [...]

Ghostcat

Ghostcat

August 25th, 2009

Ghostcat could be the band that makes me fall back in love with mutant disco electro rock shit again. Potentially. The Choreo remix of “This Is A Bust” sounds a bit like the MSTRKRFT remix of Juliette and the Licks from like fifteen years ago — rougher and harder though but just as infectious. The [...]

Grum

August 25th, 2009

Grum has a new video for his “Heartbeats” single — nice to see Grum take a break from the tried banger formula. The heavy synth and filtered vocals give the track a much bigger dreamwave sound. Not sure about the kissing liquid metal people but the track is wow.
Single plus remixes available at Beatport.

Felix da Housecat

August 25th, 2009

“We All Wanna Be Prince” may be Felix da Housecat’s catchiest single since “Silver Screen Shower Scene” — but the video, ugh, the video. I can’t put my finger on why, but it makes me wanna crawl outta my skin. At first I was like “ew, Perez’s bare chest” but then realized it wasn’t just [...]

Binary artist Keenhouse has two new remixes for his “Civic Transit” from Anoraak and Fabian. Such a feel good song:

Keenhouse – “Civic Transit”
The Anoraak remix first popped up on Nightwaves’ Dreamwave Hour 2 mixtape, but now you can enjoy it as a standalone. Totally smooth and rich; Anoraak works [...]

Burns

August 24th, 2009

Burns recalibrates Warriors and has it set to his new single, “Teknique.” Yes, the imagery has been used near and far, but the video editing on “Teknique” is nearly perfect, giving Warriors a bit more life. I dunno if it’ll ever get old.
“Teknique” shows some growth for Mr. Burns. There’s enough variation and [...]

Kolombo

August 21st, 2009

Belgium’s Kolombo is coming to Australia in September. Producing under his real name Olivier Gregoire, Kolombo, half of Lou Lou Players, producing music with Geoffroy as Mugwump, with Compuphonic, with Ante Perry, with Oliver Klein, and probably more I’ve missed! He must be one busy lad and I can’t wait to hear what he brings [...]

Health

August 21st, 2009

HEALTH’s new album Get Color has been dominating my iTunes’ top listened charts the past couple weeks. While their self-titled debut will always have a special place in my heart, this follow-up is just leaps and bounds ahead… total growth. Their sound has matured in such a good way. And HEALTH is never to shy [...]

Calvin Harris

August 18th, 2009

Calvin Harris has been working on his sophomore album – Ready for the Weekend – for quite some time now. And quite frankly, it’s ticking me off. Dude’s I Created Disco was remarkably on point, and thus expectations for the upcoming release are off the charts. Thank goodness August 17th has finally arrived. (See: I’m [...]

Duchess Says – “Black Flag” (Tronik Youth Mix)
As far as singles go, “Black Flag” has had a nice, long life. The latest face lift of the dare-I-say-classic Duchess Says track comes from Tronik Youth — and, as can be expected, is a much more electronic approach than the original. The melody on the [...]

Gloves

August 17th, 2009

G.L.O.V.E.S., or now just Gloves, “long” awaited debut single is out on Bang Gang! Rejoice. The title track “PYX” is backed by remixes from Strip Steve, Golden Bug and Ben Browning. But the killer track is b-side “Too Much To Dream.” Sounds like something Daft Punk might make if they were men instead of [...]
