If there's two things that I'm really good at doing, it's being hyper AND developing crushes on people, songs and inanimate objects. That said, we've got some tunes full of 8-bit radness that speaks directly to the ADD-riddled schoolgirl underneath this beastly facade.Hyper Crush is the doo-hop, electro, deathcore super group of three shit-faced extra terrestrials known amongst the elite simply...

Swedish/Dane, RebekkaMaria, first fell across our desks around this time last year with her brand of inspired and intrgiuing blisspop. Formerly known as AsInRebekkaMaria, the chanteuse nixed the (sorry, yes it was annoying) "AsIn", and has new songs to prove she can stand up to her solo name status.Rad man, Raj, over at EQ got the dish on the happenings..."The first album went of in...

Roll call: Fool's Gold? Check! Wallpaper? Here! Mariah Carey? Wait...what? Let's do a little explaining.We geeked out for Fool's Gold's catchily cutesy song, Surprise Hotel, a bit ago...and if there was one recommendation we'd make to make it better, well, we wouldn't look to Mariah Carey first, but then again, we're not the masher here.Eric, of Wallpaper, writes:When I first heard Surprise Hot...

Pop, rock and electronica...all thrown together to collectively amount to one of the most overlooked and easily digestible albums of the year. That, in a few words, sums up the rise of Norway's Donkeyboy.The Donkeyboy quintet is fronted by brothers Cato and Kent, who write and share lead vocal duties on almost all of the band's fresh, melody driven and 80s-inspired songs. The siblings are joine...

Every time we type this Hungarian power duo's name, we feel a little naughty...and we like it! Then we move forward and listen to their dynamic reworks, and we get even filthier, because their mondo ace mixes make us want to do all sorts of devious things.Tits and Clits produced this remix of Royksopp's Tricky Tricky for the competition that the Swedish boys had surrounding the release of the s...

It's a known fact here in Beastonia, that I await with baited breath at the mere mention of new music coming out of camp Kite in the Air.

Ok, so this post title might come off as outdated if you've been hot on Zambri for the past few months, much as we have. So in digging through my archives, I was appalled that I had yet to actually write anything about the pairing of NYC sisters, Jessica and Cristi Jo. Hence, their introduction...Zambri caused quite a stir late last month with handful of dates during CMJ. Being hailed as everyt...

This bit of news thrills me greatly. Earlier this fall, Miike Snow tore through 2 dates of NYC showery, and sadly, we missed both of them due to other concert engagements. Now, with the announcement of a headlining tour, sadcakes no more shall we be.Receiving great reception for their live translations of the highly refined electronic compositions featured on their self-titled debut, the combin...

I have so many random and equally rad tunes floating around in my email, that I simply don't know what to do with them. Some are timely and relevant, while others are massively major, yet don't really have any pertinent info tied to them. So here's what we've come to embrace...In an effort to bring you the widest assortment of new tunes on a consistent basis, you may have noticed over the past ...

Mikey Mic is an artist with a unique style influenced by worldly travles and great musical influences. A Jamaican native living in Stockholm with a deep love for electronic music isn't the norm, but his sound can be seen as a fusion of club, urban, electronica and futuristic radnessMikey has gained attention from major recording artists including 50 Cent, Flo Rida and David Guetta, each of whom...

Last month, I let you in on the news that was the announcement of Tiesto's next single from latest studio album, Kaleidoscope.

First off,...

There's a majorly mondo killer show happening in NYC tomorrow night, and basically, if you're not in attendance, then I don't know you. All jokes aside, this lineup is one of unique beats, eccentric personalities and ultimately, some of the most quality crafted music you'll soon come across.Starting off with Portugese headliners' Buraka Som Sistema, le poisson rouge is sure to be set ablaze wit...

Sweden, the unofficial headquarters of epic-creative-pop, seems an inevitable launching pad for Versant. Led by Carah Faye, former frontwoman of yes, those Shiny Toy Guns, the band synthesizes the melodicism of a true pop siren with up-to-the-minute textures that can ignite both dance floors and dirty rock clubs. While the troupe was deciding to split time between Vänersborg of that rad country..

In a huge departure from our last post, local boy Terror Dactel knows exactly to make me go from reveling in reflective tunes to raging my damn face off in a split second. Let's see/hear what duderman's got up his mixin' sleeves today.Fellow Subdrive member, Charlie Tippie, approached the dinosaucerous DJ to do a dance remix of his song, Vocaloid, but as it turned out, it became another version...

Lately, I've been on this kick of listening to absolutely gorgeous songs on repeat for extended periods of time...especially when in the throes of a busy workday. It calms the nerves and lowers the stress level. And so goes the tale of my reaffirmed love of Alicia Keys.With new album, The Element of Freedom, due out December 15, Keys is set to hold a constant spot in the Beaston rotation if her...

About a month ago, I introduced you to Baby Monster, a northwest US bred duo worthy of all sorts of love and affection when it comes to mysteriously cool electropop.I'm still kicking myself that I didn't get to catch the boys during CMJ...a solitary blogger's life throughout that week is a rough and insanely busy one, yo! But thankfully, we've got a bit of news from the team of the monstrous ba...

Earlier this summer, Danish darlings of the dance floor, Aqua, released a greatest hits album that included sixteen of their smashes along with three new tracks. We slightly swooned over new song Back to the 80s, but it was fresh jam, My Mamma Said, that gave me the fits of joy.Last month, it was announced that My Mamma Said would be the band's next single, and now there is a brand new video to...

With mentions of a new album, We Are Born, in 2010, alongside penned and produced works for friend Christina Aguilera, this year has been quite a tease of news from the camp of Aussie darling, Sia.So naturally, I got all sorts of excited when perusing the telly channels a few weeks ago and hearing a familiar tone flowing over the visuals of a luxury car commrcial. In the 2010 Lincoln MKT commer...
