Chicago’s The Race have crept their way into my subconscious and are currently tinkering with important brain waves whilst I try to get some work done…their music is fueling my creativity and pushing me over the edge. I immediately compare them to Depeche Mode, but a little rougher…so naturally that would line them up with [...]

What happens when one electronic disco artist clashes with another? Great things. France’s premier disco-house dj Fred Falke has reworked the epic disco masterpiece “Warm In The Shadows” by California’s Music Go Music. The result is classic Falke. No big surprise since the original has a similar vibe to his sound. Check it:mp3: Music Go [...]

This past summer Heartbreakbeat Records released a stunning split family affair EP featuring Baltimore/Houston artist Jana Hunter and her brother John Hunter’s band Inoculist. Jana Hunter has long been in my ears, but I had yet to hear her bro’s band and this split has me focused and ready for more. Inoculist was started as [...]

I’ve gotta hand it to The xx…they’re pretty good at being awesome. They’ve produced one of the more memorable debuts albums this year and are also lighting up the nets with some solid remixes. One of those remixes, a redux of Florence + the Machines “You’ve Got The Love”, is receiving a whole lotta attention, [...]

When Cut Copy hand picks a band out of a sea of demos to come on tour with them for some select east coast shows…it helps you get noticed. This is the case for New York’s Kordan aka Arthur Eisle. His demos were featured on NY’s East Village Radio when Cut Copy were hosting it [...]

Wow. The internets have swelled with Yeasayer’s new track “Ambling Alp” which is the first single off of next February’s ODD BLOOD out via Secretly Canadian. Compared to the material off of their debut All Hour Cymbals, “Ambling Alp” is more shaped and defined… and focused. I’m definitely diggin’ it.mp3: Yeasayer – Ambling AlpMmmmm…this track [...]

Seattle 5 piece Black Whales were a pleasant surprise a few weeks ago in my ever-crowded inbox. Their Origins EP out now via Mt. Fuji is filled with un-glamorous rock. There’s no spectacle in their sound, rather just a knack for some pure ringing rock and roll.mp3: Black Whales – Books On Tapemp3: Black Whales [...]

That’s it! The Twelves are friggin sick. End of story. Fever Ray’s “Seven”, one of my top tracks of the year, was re-done by CSS a little while back and I didn’t think I’d hear a better effort. Not sure if The Twelves are better but it’s damn near close. Check it:mp3: Fever Ray – [...]

It’s Friday. It’s grey. This day feels like it’s going in slow motion. The band Psychic Powers pops up on my computer and every thing fits. I easily fall for their new wave electronic pop that could be the backdrop of a dark grey London evening…but these guys come out of LA? Where’s the sun [...]

You know I really don’t have time for music that does not motivate me. I NEED some motivation alls the times holmes! Enter The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt! and their ridiculously long name, but sporting some simplistic smack me on the side of my Isaac Brock loving music brain and BAM! I’m motivated to do [...]

San Fran’s Ring Trick, producer of perhaps one of my favorite Radiohead remixes, is being quite the ambitious musician this month by posting a demo a day on his tumblr blog. If you’re in the mood for some solid electronics song sketches then please dig into what he’s doing here. He was nice enough to [...]

Boston’s Bodega Girls play that off beat Architecture In Helsinki meets Black Kids indie dance funk hip hop that interests me greatly. This style also blends seamlessly when they introduce it to Passion Pit and their sweet remix of “To Kingdom Come”. Check it:mp3: Passion Pit – To Kingdom Come (Bodega Girls Remix)mp3: Bodega Girls [...]

Way back when this blog was first cutting it’s teeth I had the pleasure of catching New York’s Ravens & Chimes at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC. Needless to say it was an amazing performance featuring a super sweet cover of Leonard Cohen’s “So Long, Marianne”. Then I picked up their debut album [...]

Two bands with completely opposite styles come together in a seriously friggin sweet way when NYC’s new wave experimental rockers Violens step up and remix the afrobeat jam “Warm Heart Of Africa” by The Very Best. Take a listen:mp3: The Very Best – Warm Heart Of Africa feat. Ezra Koenig (Violens Remix)extra->mp3: The Very Best [...]

Okay. I’m sure you’re looking at the name Fizzy Dino Pop and wondering whether Pasta has lost it a little bit. Trust me, I have, but this band is legit. They sent me an email the other day with two of their tracks and a message informing me they were Neon Indian’s favorite band on [...]

Two bands that put out stellar albums this year clash when YACHT does their bestest to bring their infectious styles to Phoenix’s “Armistice”. I was pretty much hooked as soon as I heard the thick bass line bounce through the track, but the when Bizarre-Love-Triangle-like synths kicked in I nearly died and went to heaven.mp3: [...]

A few weeks ago Midnight Juggernauts unveiled their first slice of new music with the single “This New Technology” (get it here via Acephale). Now they’ve backed that up with a handful of remixes for the single. I was pumped when I saw that Memory Tapes and The Juan Maclean were some of the contributors, [...]

It’s rare that I use the term “club banga” on this site. It’s even rarer that I actually enjoy the track that the term describes. This rarity has occurred today when I ran across Switch’s “club banga” remix of one of this years best singles “Dominos” by The Big Pink. Switch pretty much strips any [...]

Okay. You’re thinkin’ I’m a bit late on this one…yes? Well that’s true, but the real truth is I’ve been listening to Washed Out’s Life Of Leisure EP for a while now…but couldn’t quite put together coherent and successive words to describe this music traveling through my ears. Sometimes extraordinary music has that effect on [...]
