Hifi Pirates

Sampling is a rarely used talent these days. It doesn’t take much to grab an old favourite 70’s Funk/Soul track and turn it into a modern day success, and this is exactly what I like about the LoFi Samurai.
Hailing from west Germany, the violent twosome have been creating this form of ‘filter tech house’ for [...]

Right Over The Top

Not to be outdone by the astounding Aeroplane remix, Here’s A-Trak‘s Radio version of ‘Kilometer’, just because I only just discovered it, and it’s really quite good.
Did anyone manage to grab any of the Tellier apparel why it lasted? I’m still confused about the partnership with American Apparel, I wonder what it was that kicked [...]

Girls Girls Girls

The newest EP from Project Cyborg was released today through independent label ‘Monkey See Monkey Do’ and although it’s not quite the fidget-fest ‘Hit It’ (featured over here) I was expecting to be released by the guys, it’s still a corker of a track. Originally their remix of Dre’s ‘The Next Episode’, the track has [...]

Summertime Psychedelica

Wouldn’t it have been fantastic to grow up in California during the ’60s? When LSD was legal, readily available, and not recognised as the threat to modern society that it is today. Listening to “Apollo” – by We Plants Are Happy Plants – may take you back to a simpler, more idealistic era. This is [...]

Post-Goth Goth-Punk

I’ll spare you the part where I sound like I know what I’m talking about… BUT, what I do know is that The Horrors are a part of the Beggers Group, which has it’s roots deeply tied to the gothic music scene of the late 80s (who the Horrors seem largely reminiscent of).
Their image as [...]

Ethan Hawk

Do you like dancing? Do you like girls? Then you’ll probably like this.
Make The Girl Dance came relatively out of nowhere on my radar with this ’sex-sells’ inspired music video (and damn, it worked).
MP3 Download: Make The Girl Dance – Baby Baby Baby (Radio Edit)
Before you sign me off as an entry level pervert, I [...]

Fairground Electro

Summer is coming, it’s right around the corner I’m told.
Which can only mean one thing! The fair (I guess it also means beach barbeque’s, bike rides and over exposed midriffs but we’ll keep hold of that for another post)
This is music I like to call ‘Fairground Electro‘. It gives off that fun atmosphere of a [...]

Utter Filth

This is just wrong, so wrong. There is nothing valid to be said about this track. Pure pure filth in aural form.
This is THE bassy, late night dance floor moaner. You know that part where you just get too tired to dance anymore and the music just goes bizarre? That’s this track.
In fact, I wouldn’t [...]

8Bit Love

Did you ever own a Game Boy? I’m not talking about one of the modern advanced versions,  but the original monochrome design – a plastic slab straight from the 80s. If you did, you’ll remember the game that came with it, a previously unknown little gem called ‘Tetris’.
Californian electro/hip-hop producer DJ Ghadi remembers. And he’s [...]

Set Fire To My Heart

‘Captivating’ is the word I think. ‘Two Suns’ is the new album from Bat For Lashes and I’ve been listening to it quite a bit this week.
It’s a little melancholic but wonderfully emotional when you dig deep into it.
This is the first single taken from the album, ‘Daniel’ which is one of the more accesible [...]
