Rapids

Rapids

May 25th, 2010

“Get Better Then That” by Sydney band Rapids is pretty infectious. This video is pretty cheesy but its good seeing a band making fun of their own pop sensibility. If you’re keen for more, they have an EP out through Pedestrian TV.

The Good Natured + Baby Monster

The Good Natured + Baby Monster

May 23rd, 2010

Photo Yann Faucher As promised, here is the Baby Monster remix of The Good Natured’s “Your Body Is A Machine.” This remix is quite a bit more dance focused than we’ve heard Baby Monster before, though The Good Natured naturally lends herself to this sound. I mean, it’s not really a departure from her work. [...]

Gino Studio

May 23rd, 2010

Gino Studio is a project by Gino Fontaine. At first listen you think Emperor Machine / Chicken Lips funky analog and you’d be right Gino has been working closely with Andy from Chicken Lips who is producing Gino’s forthcoming album! This is the first taste and I can’t wait to hear the album when it [...]

May 22nd, 2010

Disco party pumping Honey Soundsystem are expanding from just throwing some of the best events in San Francisco to releasing mixes, and now producing. I recently had the luck of receiving a beautiful box in the mail, that looked more like a present than a new CD they just released. I opened the box and [...]

Zebra and Snake

Zebra and Snake

May 20th, 2010

Zebra and Snake is one of my favorite bands to emerge last year with their somewhat anthemic track “The Colours” — so obviously we are totally psyched to be part of Zebra and Snake’s newest project. Over the next few weeks Big Stereo will be bringing you brand new Z&S goods, piece by piece, to [...]

Showgirls

Showgirls

May 19th, 2010

Showgirls is a new pop French trio worth keeping an on… if “Foolin’ Around” is anything to judge from. Super cute and super pop, with just enough disco to keep it in check. The track has gotten some remix love from Hypnolove which we’re premiering to the internet world today. Yay, it is like freestyle [...]

Elite Gymnastics

Elite Gymnastics

May 18th, 2010

Elite Gymnastics – “Parachute”. It has been a good two weeks since we first posted Elite Gymnastics, and our adhd riddled brains haven’t lost interest yet. If chillwave was a knee jerk, polar reaction to bloghouse then Elite Gymnastics is the next step… a full embrace of both genres only to create something bigger, better. [...]

Rainbow Arabia – “Holiday In Congo” Continuing in the great tradition of Rainbow Arabia videos is “Holiday In Congo” — certainly not as dark as “Omar K”, but just as humorous. Hello clan of Michael Jackson impersonators. Shot by Cadu Cavalcanti. Edited by the always creative Isaiah Seret. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] [...]

In Flagranti

May 17th, 2010

Following on from “Ex Ex Ex”, In Flagranti is unleashing their latest single :Through a Rabbit Hole: with vocalist Natalie Smash, who was also featured in “Ex Ex Ex.” “Through the Rabbit Hole” is a low slung plodder with a quirky vocal and a wonky arpeggio. The remixes really shine on the release with Moscow, [...]

Miami Horror + Baby Monster

Miami Horror + Baby Monster

May 14th, 2010

We’re not going to lie. We hate signing up for mailing lists just to get mp3s. But Miami Horror and Baby Monster are two artists we just have to support, time and time again. And really, the occasional email is totally worth this tune. “Moon Theory” is the title track off Miami Horror’s upcoming album, [...]

Kelis

May 13th, 2010

Kelis goes in for the kill with this live cover of La Roux on Radio 1′s Live Lounge. Whoever thought we’d see the day that Kelis sings a La Roux track? Granted Kelis has always been known for the unexpected. And gotta say Kelis sultry voice is a welcomed change from Eleanor Jackson. Unfortunately, Kelis [...]

Cocosuma

May 13th, 2010

Kind of an older video, but really excited about the full length. Cocosuma has not disappointed. Reminds me a bit of Siouxsie Sioux and some 4AD artists with more of a synth, funk, and uplifting feel. Here’s their new video for their new single “The Jar”, super sexy!

Friends Electric

May 12th, 2010

Too often the race is on to only find the freshest new sound, whatever that could be. I’m not convinced Friends Electric is doing anything “new”, but I’m also not convinced that that in itself is a bad thing, especially give the strength of “Wall of Arms.” Sure it channels the best of Ellie Goulding [...]

Obviously super psyched about this news. Grab a sneak peek of their live show from a couple nights ago in Berlin. Ok, rather grainy, but I guarantee they’re not [...]

Young Empires

May 11th, 2010

Young Empires thrilled us last month when we premiered their almost epic “Rain of Gold” — well, well Young Empires continue to thrill with their new demo “Glory of the Night.” Dark, moody and chill… “Glory of the Night” has all the elements we love. I think it’s a pretty safe bet that we want [...]

Our best friends Amari are back with a brand new sci-fi video for their single “Tiger”. They used clips from some of my favorite space movies and made it all their own. I love the funky feel to it and can never get enough of these guys. Give’m some love.

Silver Columns

May 10th, 2010

Silver Columns – “Cavalier” Silver Columns is debuting their very first video for their standout track “Cavalier.” A little less wacky and more bit pop than their first couple tracks, but still, can’t get enough. And look! A brand new remix from Astronomer who takes the track to a darker, more geometric place: [Audio clip: [...]

Azari & III + Tensnake

May 9th, 2010

Snippets & streams = automatic boo, but this makes up for both times ten. Like woah, the most amazing tune to ever be pumped through Soundcloud’s servers… already up and coming legendary future children. Look for the real thing on Permanent Vacation. AZARI & III – “Reckless (With Your Love)” (Tensnake Remix) SNIPPET
