Valerie is like the your slightly older cousin from France who you visit when you are thirteen and she is fifteen or sixteen, and you go to the beach together, and, this being France, she is topless, which is no big deal there, (but for you! it’s a VERY big deal!); and she sort of [...]

The long awaited EP from Long Island band “Robbers” is now out on Unicrons! This is for fans of bands like Dredg or the like. It is like Sigur Ros or Radiohead with less ambiance and more pop sensibility. Robbers does a good job of proving this isn’t always a bad thing.You can buy the [...]

Without a doubt one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen was the rave/electro/punk onslaught that is The Prodigy a few years ago at Coachella. They’re back in the US to promote their new record Invaders Must Die, and I had a chance to interview founder/producer/lead songwriter Liam Howlett about the band’s creative process:****Baron [...]

OMG this song and its many remixes has absolutely infected me and makes every square inch of my skin stand on end shivering with ecstasy and thwarted desire. The change from the second chord to the third chord is so eerie and amazing…Words Cannot Express, just listen:mp3: “The Girl and The Robot” - Royksopp featuring [...]

I know absolutely nothing about these songs or who made them. They were sent two us with three cryptic pictures including the one above. Their myspace says they are from New York. They are highly unrefined, dirty, messy, and careless with no sheen whatsoever. Neither of the songs sound particularly well thought out [...]

I woke up musically empty this morning, mocked by the Silver Lake sun, uninspired and cold. I’m still figuring out what exactly I’m doing in LA. I like the idea of writing pop songs by day and personal songs by night. But I worry that the pop stuff isn’t pop enough, and the music I’m [...]

Los Angeles Remixer Black Lights was kind enough send us his adaptation of the new Gossip song, “Heavy Cross”. His version keeps you on your toes by alternating between a slow and melancholy dubstep beat and a jackin’ house beat. The bpm shifts and pitched up loops make the song playful and [...]

I love this track because it is so atmospheric, emotional, energetic, and organic feeling. Starting out like a dark sexy anthem, the bass guitar and use of reverb on the drums put you in a breezy warehouse party with your hair standing on end expecting something big to emerge. With a sneaky [...]

Fresh as can be from Twitter comes a brand new blast of disco euphoria from Dragonette, one of my 2007 faves. And it does not disappoint, as Martina’s harmonies are once again a stack of multi-timbred laser beams, a blinding display of hypersexual electro aggression, all ear candy all the time:mp3: “Fixin to Thrill” [...]

brad eltermanBogdan Irkük, also known as BULGARI, is one of those rare artists that meticulously integrates the emotional space of progressive house with the funk of italo-disco. BULGARI states he is from Bulgaria, but he sounds suspiciously from the area of northern lights. His music illuminates that Lindstrom sound gorgeously, but with a particularly unique [...]

I’m taking another break from the textbooks. I’m about to go make an egg and some toast, but first I wanted to share my latest disco-obsessions. Only two tracks for the time being, but they are really fucking good songs. I’ve had my headphones on for the last nine hours listening to them in loops [...]
