So I’ve been transitioning to San Diego from San Francisco, and in a few months to Argentina to discover and promote some latin music. I apologize for not having had a chance to post. I got this new video in the mail from SF band Girls and of course it’s filmed all over San Francisco. [...]

I posted Beni’s “Maximus” a couple of weeks back, and now the remix promo has dropped with some killer remixes by the likes of Alex Gopher, Andee and Ooh EE, and this huge remix by amazing Finish producer Jori Hulkkonen. Looking forward to playing this in a big system. Woah! [Audio clip: view full post [...]

Acid Girls has put out a steady stream of quality remixes the past couple years… each one better than the last. And now the Los Angeles duo are set to release their first single to the world on September 1st. Ok, second if you count the Kitsune split from earlier this summer, but “Lightworks”/”The Number [...]

Two new videos for Memory Cassette’s “Call & Response” release — Pat Vamos for the a-side and Sebastian Rozenburg created a video for the b-side. Interesting idea. Both totally dreamy in different ways. Pat Vamos video for Memory Cassette – “Surfin”/”Body In The Water”: Sebastian Rozenburg video for Memory Cassette – “Asleep At A Party”: [...]

Don’t know why I love Dead Man’s Bones so much, maybe my inner hipster is just a sucker for children’s choirs, but we’ve been following the Ryan Gosling music project from the start, and it just strikes a chord. Hello run on sentence. “My Body’s A Zombie For You” pretty follows in the same vein [...]

I wanna live in that ^ world. Another brilliant/beautiful video from The Sound of Arrows.

Japansese producer Atsushi Yano’s Polyrhythm EP is out through NANG on August 24th. Its one of the most exciting EPs I’ve heard for a while. It’s full of African tribal rhythm and groove and all four songs are terrific. I couldn’t find Atsushi on Myspace and there is no info on the Nang Records website [...]

The xx – “Basic Space” The xx’s debut album is just about the best album all year. And if anything comes along better then we’re all in for a treat. 2009 will be the year that silence between notes became important again, thank God. And the xx are masters at creating silence, pauses, at the [...]

Jump Jump Dance Dance are Australian label Etc Etc’s latest signing since Pnau and Lost Valentinos. The Californian based duo consists of LA DJ and Vocalist Chris Carter and Simon Lewicki aka Groove Terminator aka one half of the now defunct Tonite Only. From the Jump Jump Dance Dance originals I’ve heard it’s a nice [...]

Album out on Lovepump: iTunes.

I don’t know too much about Australian duo No Device. But they have given me 2 seriously fun and well produced remixes of some up and coming great Australian Indie acts Hungry Kids of Hungary and The Basics to share. Their original “We Were Lions” is also fantastic. Expect to hear more from No Device [...]

Good morning, time for a new Charlie ASH video. Nice little pop song put together with body parts.

Photo Phil Gay Thecocknbullkid’s “Querelle” EP is out today on IAMSOUND. The EP is worth the purchase for “I’m Not Sorry” alone but if you already picked that one off the Moshi Moshi release then there are three more must have tracks as well. Grab it from iTunes. Esser remixed one of the EP tracks, [...]

Florence + The Machine – “Drumming Song” Florence and the Machine is back with a new single from her Lungs album — sososo happy that “Drumming Song” got a video. Such an intense song… James Ford was a good match for her. And so happy that they ditched the barftastic Renaissance Fair vibe from her [...]

Hungry for some new Fan Death? Well look for a new super limited edition 12 inch out on Big Love in Japan. And “Cannibal” will satisfy your appetitive — as expected, big disco movements, you can imagine the ghost of Little Edie to flip her skirt into a cape and twirl off to this as [...]

Ex-Bonde De Role Marina (not the one with the diamonds) has teamed up with Soko to form Marina & Soko. “Mum” is literally begging for you to put the top down and head to the beach, like now. Skip work, beach now. Produced by Radioclit, the track relies on an unforgetable WAR sample. The release [...]

Our buddies Database are back with a new EP made in collaboration with French Horn Rebellion. God, The Twelves remix is so fucking delicious. Makes me remember why we fell in love with Database and The Twelves in the first place. Huge movements in this one. Beaches and friends — wish Summer would never end. [...]

Never thought I’d be posting Shakira but whatever… “She Wolf” has taken over my life. Best Top 40 pop song of 09, whatever you say. Who knew she’d end up making hipster disco but good move. Not sure if the cheesiness of this video is on purpose or a fortunate misstep but loving it either [...]
