Digikid84 Mini-Mix

“Optimus Rhymes” by Corey Lewis The last time I posted about these guys was about a really schweet mashup against Daft Punk by Neon Coyote. The kool kids from koalaland landed a sweet exclusive mini-mix from the french duo. Tracklist bitches: 01 Overthrill – Burn Rubber on Me (Gap Band Cover)02 Per Qx feat Waren […]

Our favorite party promoters Dark Wave Disco are bringing one of the best DJ’s in the world to keep the hipster crowd happy at the beer friendly confines of Sonotheque. Be sure to RSVP for free admission before it’s too late. As always, Trancid, Mark Gertz, and Kid Color will be warming things up before […]

SOLVE Chicago

One of my biggest flaws is not keeping up with local news (that is, news that doesn’t involve electronic music). After reading both on Trash Menagerie and Hot Biscuits however, I was saddend to hear about the loss of a Chicago icon. The artist known as SOLVE will be greatly missed not only as an […]

I Am…

Leaving. I was torn whether or not to post about my impending vacation. A) because it literally ruins the “surprise” visit I have in store for my parents of whom I haven’t seen since Thanksgiving, and B) because it gives all you fockers a reason not to visit the best damn music blog on the […]

Are You Kidding Me Kurtech?

Where in the hell did this kid come from? Kurt Szelpuk, who goes by Kurtech, never even touched an instrument until he was thrown into the ‘Musical Directors’ job in his high school media class. The 17 year old from outside Melbourne has produced a handful of amazing productions (musical background or not), as well […]

LAZR Day

While watching the German team mount an incredible win over a fearless and formidable Turkey team (as well as enduring ESPN’s horrid broadcasting signal [sure sure, its not technically their fault, but someone as huge as ESPN should have weather controlling devices amiright?])… I’ve been enjoying some tracks from LA based LAZRtag. Their Crystal Castles […]

A Slew of Ish to see…

This week is filled with some pretty sweet gigs around the Chicagoland neighborhoods. Our own Kid Color (sure sure he’s originally from the west coast, but he’s Chicago’s now bitches) makes his grand return in doing 3 shows this week, all along side some phenomenal talent. Tuesday 6/24Outdanced at Funky Buddha Lounge:[bearries][kid color][dj kt] Wednesday […]

Yelle + La Dolce Vita

Andy and Graham from Chitown based La Dolce Vita released a fresh new remix of Yelle’s ‘Mon Meilleur Ami’. The track is heavy and glitchy as hell, I felt like Earth’s gravity tripled while listening to it. It’s a very well produced piece of dance floor bliss that could easily be fit into any DJ […]

Skimpy Swimwear from Canada

Got these in my inbox over the weekend and never got around to listening to them until today. My mistake, as I could’ve been chillin’ to a couple of really superb pieces of electronica during the weekend. Bikini is a Montreal duo made up of Johnny Penn and Aaron Aujla, who have rapidly been getting […]

Ayumi Sohotasaki

I’m not going to pretend to know anything about j-pop and the artists associated with that genre of music. But I do know that this woman is beyond gorgeous… and that Young Punx! and MSTRKRFT did a pretty schweet job at making her songs (western) dance floor acceptable. Mp3: Ayumi Hamasaki – Beautiful Fighters (MSTRKRFT […]
