Porter Robinson + Matt Zo /prog house

Porter Robinson started his ascent around the time when my blog went more-or-less offline for a while. There’s nothing I can say here about the young gun that you probably don’t already know, other than I haven’t really given the chap a good listen. I’m loving this track though, so perhaps that will change moving […]

Dillon Francis + D.veloped /electro mashup

First post in well over 9 months… doesn’t mean I’ve been completely devoid of indulging in good music, just that my time has been better spent in raising a family and getting my shit together in other areas of my life. It’s summer in most relevant places on this Earth (sorry Australia), and summer means […]

Back to my Chemical Brother roots /breakbeat

About damn time dont you think? The Chemical Brothers are (finally) releasing their 7th full studio album, Further (2010, Virgin) on June 14th… and seeing how I wasn’t really feeling We Are The Night… this makes over 5 years since I got some new *dust* for my cans. A quick search on hypem will give […]

Jesse Rose. /house

Somewhere between the reigning genres of yawn-inspiring minimal techno and the exhaustingly ear-piercing electro-blog-house sound is dance music. Remember house? Remember funk? Remember when party music made you dance sideways instead of just banging your head or scratching your chin? Meet Jesse Rose, the Berlin based co-creator of so-called “fidget house” – although a better […]

VVVVan She V /electro

In anticipation of the Aussie troupe-de-kick-ass Van She‘s new album release, V… I give you a pair of tracks that are sure to improve whatever shitty day you’re about to embark on. Err wait.. it’s friday.. so throw this on the stereo and slaughter something. I’ll have more to say about this incredible multiple personality […]

The Avalanches + New Album /news

Well… its on the horizon (hopefully). I know, I got just as hard (and probably wet too) when I first read the headlines today. But we still have to keep our fingers crossed, as first reported by NME, the Aussie turntablists’ sophomore offering is on its way. As written on their myspace page: “putting the […]

Daft Punk vs DigiKid84 /nu disco

You know how much I love the 80’s inspired electro, right? DigiKid84 is at the pinnacle of that movement, which is lead by the likes of Futurecop!, Xinobi, Hot Pink Delorean, and Moulinex. I dont think there is anything I need to say about Daft Punk’s late killer off Discovery, “Face to Face”; so I […]

Overthrill + Mixtape /electro

Overthrill are a DJ duo from Germany (no exclusive info yet, just via myspace). Earlier this month, they contributed to one of No Love Lost Records mixtape compilations, and simply put, it’s epic. Over 80 tracks are mixed into 56 minutes of heavy bangin’ sounds. On top of that, their track “Revolver” is just as […]

The Avalanches + new to me /turntablism

I feel embarassed for having never heard of these guys until Kid Color used a Wham! vs Digitalism mashup on his Carded & DisCarded mixtape. But I’ve been living it up now, as The Avalanches are uber talented, and been having their debut album, Since I Left You, on repeat since I got it. 3500 […]
