Moulinex and Xinobi have created a kinetic explosion of disco madness in their theme for their Lisbon-dance night. As part of the promotion for their mini-East Coast tour to Brooklyn and Philly Moulinex and Xinobi have released parts of the theme song to be remixed for the No Big Deal contest. Sweet. The due date [...]

The Return of Ed DMX
-
Artist:
-
Track:Bass Drop
It has been much too long since the last DMX Krew release. Ed DMX goes way back to Rephlex Records and his own label Breakin'. You can call him an analog purist. He makes music that sounds wonderfully dated. Turbo records has impressed me yet again with their diverse catalog. Please also check [...]

RIP Ron Asheton
-
Artist:
Punk rock began in 1970 when Ron Asheton wrote some songs with Jimmy Osterberg and formed The Stooges. Osterberg changed his name to Iggy Pop and Ron showed a generation that you didn't have to be Hendrix to generate pyrotechnics on guitar. There's a reason the amazing, un-put-downable book "Please Kill Me" by Legs [...]

Some of my favorite BUFFETLIBRE REWIND tracks
-
Artist:BUFFETLIBRE
-
Album:REWIND
Before I list off some of my favorites I just have to mention how much I loathe 3oh!3. Only once every three thousand years do I drink the haterade on this blog, but I just have to say it's some of the worst shit I've ever heard in my life. I turned on MTV just [...]

Disco Sunday #46: Buffet Libre Rewind 2
The 2nd installment in the incredible labor of love known as the Buffet Libre Rewind project est arrivé! Rewind 2 has 89 artists covering 89 songs by 89 bands (give or take, there are a few duplicates). If, like me, your new year's resolution is to be more efficient as you make the rounds of [...]

WORSHIP remixes
-
Artist:WORSHIP
night porter, 1974 WORSHIP has really been gifted with so many good remixes as of late. His original music is dreary yet apocalyptic, so the more high-energy french touch remixes have given the tracks an added fluorescent flavor. The influence of Lifelike is pretty heavy throughout both of the following tracks and I'm totally loving that. [...]

Bearbaby’s Top Ten of 2k8
-
Artist:
a couple in love // found from flickr 2k8 seems to be getting a lot of shit on the internet as of late. Granted it wasn't the epic year where the progression of electronic music seemed to gush out of the watershed, but I think it's getting too bad of a rep. For the most [...]

FAUX PAS has left me floored
-
Artist:faux pas
I think a bunch of unicorns just shit out clear prism rainbows then delicately pranced over diamond fences… Seriously Faux Pas is remarkably experimental yet melodically soothing. I have to give great thanks to Waves at Night for turning me onto this. At first I felt a little out of my element listening to it [...]

“INTERSTELLAR” MIX
Finally this mix got finished. After wading through piles of homework, hard drive crashes and moving through three houses my insane passion for italo and french house has been fulfilled. The mix includes a bright palette of neon keyboard italo through space traveling disco. The collaborative effort between Johnatron and I was totally awesome in [...]

Super awesome remixes
-
Artist:
Before I go into my little rants/explanations of the following mixes I have to put this on blast: the johnatron&bearbaby mix is finished! I am posting it sometime this week ? And I am.. beyond ecstatic. It's my third nipple. My firstborn. Anyway.. I fell in love with Ghost in the Water's remix of 80s Stallone [...]

Slowing down…
-
Artist:Roberto Zanetti
As your night winds down and you've knocked over one too many beer bottles the perfect track to sulk on the couch to has to be Savage's "Don't Cry Tonight." Every bit the awkward euro-charmer Roberto Zanetti made this foreboding italo classic in 1983. This track is much slower than the usual fare we post [...]

Disco Sunday #45: Expensive Sounding Music
-
Artist:
Why do we make things? Why do we spend hours agonizing over a beat, a lyric, a mix, or even a blog post, when there may or may not be any clear tangible benefit from its propagation? A piece called "What is Art For" in the New York Times Magazine a few weeks ago details [...]

PALM AND EIGHTIES VACATIONS
-
Artist:
-
Track:Valet Runner
On a beach somewhere off the coast of France Palm must have felt inspired to write his bright homages to eighties tropical synth jams. A perfect soundtrack to girls crashing into sparkling waves, Palm inspires a chirpy happiness. The high-pitched synth in Valet Runner and Invisible Beach sound as magical as the twirling wind chimes [...]

Electroclash Flashback: Waldorf
-
Artist:
I am not sure if Waldorf is around anymore. However, my friend Albert busted out this song a couple of weeks ago at a party. Eight years later it was still a hit. It was the closest we got to a sing along all night. Waldorf was (is?) comprised of Clark Steiner, Kid-Italy, Rubio & Cathand [...]

Disco Sunday #44: Dancing in Heaven
-
Artist:
Semi-mustaschioed Brits Q-feel used every synthpop trick in the book when they released this classic workout jam in 1982. It came in 6th in the Eurovision song contest, which means you should listen to it right before you listen to Monsieur Tellier. mp3: "Dancing In Heaven (Orbital Be Bop) - Q-Feel

COMBO FENECH-SOLER WORSHIP FREAK YOU
-
Artist:
Persona, 1966 Combo has a magical touch when it comes to making catchy electro-disco. His remix of Fenech-Soler's "Cult of Romance" is no exception to his disco charmed remixes. The track is an entranced trip into a laser-beamed dance floor in an underground London club. You could easily imagine a doe-eyed duo dancing to the infectious [...]

Electric Youth redoes epic eighties horror soundtrack
-
Artist:electric youth
Boogeyman (1980), part one directed by Ulli Lommel I had briefly listened to "Electric Youth vs. Boogeyman" last month when Valerie posted it up for Halloween, but just this week I finally noticed its sinister beauty and depth. The song's trembling and eerie synth sounds like an electronic gremlin. It's a post-nuclear holocaust anthem that seethes [...]

Hemingway remixes Christov
-
Artist:christov
Liquid Sky 1983 I am seriously head over heels for "Estella's Invitation" by Christov. It's got a magical swimming in the tropics feel to it that can't be denied. Hand me a coconut with booze in it, give me a rainbow colored lawn chair and call it a day. With that in mind I was pretty [...]
