La Musique Bruit

Where in the World have I been?

2008-09-12T18:08:00.004+10:00

You might be asking yourself what is the future of La MB... Has it ended? No. Its simply in tranformation still and since i have a very demanding day job and most other times am working on music projects like my new LP I have had very little time to make posts. But I'm keen to get some out this weekend for all your ears to hear. I have some exciting tracks coming out, including a few remixes that I'm sure you will all enjoy. So hang in there and spread the word that La MB is about to take off once again to bring you the best from Australia, Canada, Europe & beyond!!!

Much Love

Lukus

p.s. The page will look a lil crap till i get to fix it... All should be back up by the 17th of Sept.

AUST IDOL...stealing back the Ozzies from London

2008-08-27T20:56:00.003+10:00

It might seem a little crazy to talk about IDOL, but one contestant who they happened to find in London has really captured my attention. That girl is Sophie Paterson an Acoustic singer and songwriter who left Australia sometime ago to make it in the UK. Now though much to her surprise she is being shipped home to participate in the '08 Australian Idol process to being crowned the peoples next best thing. Take a listen to her self written track I don't wanna know straight off her myspace page and if you like her then why not get behind this talented chick and VOTE for her to win because she fair from the usual suspects.

Ra Ra Running to YOU

2008-08-19T09:47:00.003+10:00

Those of you that follow my blog would know that I'm a fan of Australian music and I too am an artist myself know as Son of Vader. Just recently I tried my hand at remixing the Sydney band Amy Meredith's track Running, now it took a while to get out, however this one has been sitting on my hard drive for a while now. It's got nice breaks and a few cowbells so grab it now and tell your friends.

Hatching Out a New Layout

2008-08-18T19:50:00.006+10:00

So I have been a bit slack on the posts lately and well its for a pretty good reason, La Musique Bruit has gone under the knife and has come back with a new layout. It's not completely finished but its very close to it. I hope you like the new transition from black to white. The good news is that the little lamb hasn't completely gone, he is now over on the side bar and we may see another mascot joining him soon. In other news my own music is pushing even more forward and I will have exclusive content this week so stay tuned and thanks for your patience.

Much love.

Addicted to Sparro

2008-08-11T21:42:00.004+10:00

I tried, I really did not to like Sam Sparro's Black & Gold but I just couldn't shake it and after a few weeks of envying the Australian talent I gave in and now I'm hooked on the single. It has that something special to it that just grabs your attention and also plays over and over in your head. I blame the intro, its very well done and I hope to work with Sam in the near future. It seems a lot are lining up to get in on the action and with the next single 21st Century Life just being release we are bound to see some big names in the music world pushing the remixes out.

Oh yeah and Sam if your reading this... Let's do a track together!!

DL: Sam Sparro - Black & Gold

Do You Hear The Bells?

2008-08-07T01:52:00.004+10:00

...Yes it's the sound of the Howling Bells, an Aussie band now living it up in the UK, and cooking up a new LP as I type and you read. Now I'm a bit slow so you will have to forgive me because the song I'm about to post is almost 2 and half years old now. And that song is Setting Sun a masterpiece that could easily be slotted into a soundtrack to the next big flick. Fronted by the haunting vocals of Juanita Stein she will capture your mind and send it deep into the HB world making you fall in love with this track of indie/rock/pop goodness. I heard it on the radio yesterday and thought it was a new track... Not to worry for me and those who have never heard it before let's just pretend it new.

Oh for a bonus I have also put The Presets remix of another one of their tracks Low Happening, however the guys renamed it when giving it the work over to How Happening.

ENJOY.

and one last thing...

Do yourself a favour get their current self-titled EP now, I promise that you wont be disappointed.

Mash it Bash it

2008-08-07T01:51:00.001+10:00

In previous posts I have briefly touched on the subject of my upcoming LP under the name Son of Vader, and now it's time to reveal my 1st single off it. GASH! A track about those misfit celebs and their constant flash of well, their gash. I decided to team up with a good friend of mine, Lady Clam for the track and the chemistry is off the chart. Some would call it a rap track that pushes pop and electro goodness to all sides of the globe. Hope you all like it, and if you do make it viral. If you don't listen to it till you do!

On The Choo Choo

2008-08-04T23:47:00.011+10:00

So while I was away I had a grueling time on the XPT train twice, here is story that followed...

PART 1: BRISBANE to SYDNEY

As I sit here on the train to Sydney it gives me a chance to look at some older tracks i may have brushed off over the past 6 months (and attempt to make a super post for the ones i wont get to post whilst I'm on my holiday)... Its mid 2008 and already we have had some pretty big hits and artists emerging out of nowhere. I myself has just released my 1st single off my 2nd LP which is still yet untitled... And that song is GASH which features my very good friend and co-writer Lady Clam formally known as Shell Heaven Lee. The song took a lil over a month to make and is kinda free style rap over some heavy synth and as always some pitch shifting vocals that give it just that little bit more of a edge.

Okay the train has just stopped in Casino.... NO not at a casino the place Casino and I have Venue - Kate pumping in my ears. I wish I could make a phone call but NOPE no network coverage. So back to my itunes TOP 40 most played tracks... And guess what the number 1 track is? Its the Cinematic Orchestra by 7 plays... followed by the Presets - This Boy's In Love. I should give you the whole list just to show you how different my taste in music changes over time. One theme stays obvious though and that is most of it has a synthomelotic (my newly created word ;-p). Take a look.

okay after a long 10 hours on this train i have discovered an old favourite of mine, that is the Phones remix of The Bomb by the uber cool New Young Pony Club... And it was this song that kicked off most of my indie loving future ambitions. I was lucky enough to see NYPC when they came to Australia in January and was highly impressed with the show they put on.

So here is the track that changed me forever

DL: NYPC - The Bomb [Phones Edit]

Since then I guess The Tings Tings have kinda taken over the indie rocking scene, although i must say it a lil more of the pop flavour then the NYPC guys did it. SO i say bring back the Pony Club!!! Before i die on this train. Just kidding i should be okay.

Whoa I just found another club jam... Its begins with NYPC, yet again the pushes into DIM then Larry Tee ft. Princess Superstar the perfect blend of 3 tracks that made clubbing worth the go! You might have heard this one before BUT have you heard it like this??

DL: NYPC - Ice Cream + DIM - Airbus Baby + Larry Tee ft. Princess Superstar Lucky (Work it Out) [Herve Goes Low RMX]

PART 2: SYDNEY to MELBOURNE

Arhhh!!! I'm back on the train... Had to get up at 6am so I could check out of my hostel. I didnt want to leave at all. Had So much fun meeting people from all around the world and Shell who happened to take me out to some of the funest clubs in the Cross. So i made the train obviously despite the fact that I drunk my ass off last night to go out with bang, the local bar was packed to shitters, so i decided to leave at 11 something I cant remember the actaul time. Anyways back to my "fun" train ride from Sydney to Melbourne, its full of people over 45 and i seem to be the only 20something in 1st class, im begining to think it was a stupid idea to train in this section. Oh well its all free, the main thing is Im listen to Missy's GH catalogue, tacks that would probly make the peeps in this train go nuts haha. When is her new album coming out??

Damn well here is a classic of hers enjoy.

DL: Missy Elliott - Work It

And thats just a fraction of how i spent my boredom on the trains.

Alice In Wonderland

2008-07-16T21:14:00.003+10:00

When searching on the net sometimes you find some of the most interesting creations. Just yesterday I stummbled over this one by POGO, an Alice in Wonderland mix. This guy is just amazing in his creations.

MGMT: REMIXES

2008-07-15T19:10:00.009+10:00

I have been given the request to talk about MGMT... who seem to be bigger than McDonalds at the moment. Personally I only like 3 of their tracks Time To Pretend my personal favourite, followed by Kids & Electric Feel . Maybe I need to listen to them more?

Anyway I have found a remix by DMoeFunk, from Portland, that is perfect for the club. Another merely of an older version of Kids & lastly James Rutledge's remix of their current single which pitch shifts the vocals a little higher. I like it.

ENJOY.

Ghosts of the Black kind

2008-07-10T22:05:00.008+10:00

Right now on my ipod is The Black Ghosts self titled debut album effort, and I cant say that I love all the tracks but the ones that standout give me enough pull to keep listening. I definitely think they have so far released some of the best songs off the LP, and with a blend of 80's pop/rock vocals and indie/elektro beats I still recommend it to those who love Justice, Does it offend you yeah? & Grafton Primary. Essential listening tracks include Some Way Through This, Anyway You Choose To Give It, Repetition Kills You, I Want Nothing & Force.

Here is one to get you started....

The Black Ghosts - Force.mp3

You know this one is going to be HUGE, why? Because its freaking Bloc Party and with a crossover into the clubs too they are sure to get a huge fan bass running from all corners to get their hot little hands on this number. & that number is Mercury, the upbeat electro/rocking piece of goodness new single off the yet untitled 3rd LP from the guys which is still in talks about its release. That really doesn't matter at the moment tho. So get in now and upload it to your ipod. Cause this baby will explode!!

VAN SHE Party@Empire

2008-06-30T19:29:00.006+10:00

With my growing love for Van She & the anticipation of their LP V released on the 9th of August I thought it would be appropriate to talk about their latest single Strangers & the upcoming Van She Party which kicks off this Friday at Empire Hotel in Brisbane. Firstly Strangers has been on repeat on my ipod lately and I'm highly addicted not just to the original version but also the Van She Tech remix. To hear the other remixes by the likes of Yuksek & Strip Steve head to Itunes to buy the whole EP which includes the B-side Black Dot.

Now on to the Van She Party @ Empire this Friday, its going to be HUGE, and I'm not just saying that because I love Van She, I'm saying that because of the line up, check the bottom flyer for the special guests. Also I will be doing a promo for Levity prior to the warm up of the party at the front entry of Empire handing out their latest mixtape. So come say hi and score yourself a free CD! Plenty of fun and pics to be taken so get yourself to the Valley this Friday night. SEE U THERE.

No No No Biterz

2008-06-29T12:04:00.004+10:00

After loosing out to DMNDAYS in the Miss TK & The Revenge comp for remixing their track No Biterz I thought it would be the perfect time to let you all hear mine. Its a combination of booty & house. Hopefully it gets around the blogging world and up the Hypem charts to maybe even make it into the club, who knows. If you like it be sure to let me (Son of Vader) know.

ENJOY.

2008-06-25T00:07:00.003+10:00

This video is so HOT! Oh yeah and so is the track by Thunderheist, a band from Canada who have a sweet as collection of songs that will leave you banging on all fronts. By the way the video is part of a comp to become the official clip for Jerk it, created by the talent team Thatgo so show your support and head over to Thunderheist's official page to make it the real deal for us and the guys.

Is She Really Gone?

2008-06-22T16:26:00.005+10:00

Well the world on the street is that M.I.A. has left the building, soon after a show in Bonnaroo announcing that it was her last show...

Do we believe it?

NO WAY!!!

Whilst the truth is revealed enjoy my remix of Buck Done Gun. Oh just so you know, most of my remixes now will be called "Son of Vader" instead of Aluedius mixes cause i liked the ring to it.

Sunday Arvo Session: Coldplay

2008-06-22T13:32:00.004+10:00

The hype surrounding Viva la Vida was much to everyone's expectations, bound to be good no matter the content. And not surprisingly it has delivered. Beautiful ballads and guitar pieces to die for, Coldplay has returned to their roots to make a standout LP for 2008. This is must have for anyone's music collection & the perfect soundtrack to let you unwind on a Sunday Arvo.

Circa 1996...Bring back Captain Planet

2008-06-19T21:49:00.007+10:00

When I was a kid I remember one of my all time favourite cartoons was Captain Planet. Now more than 10 years on I want a live action movie or something like it just to re-live those memories of running around the yard pretending to be a planeteer. So with that in mind I want to do a random post about some of my favourite tracks from back in '96 (When CP was canceled) and are still to this very day songs i never get sick of. & yes there are some songs on here I probably shouldn't admit to liking, but I don't mind. I guess you get more of an insight as to who I am.

Apparat: Walls

2008-06-17T21:07:00.005+10:00

If your in for a sound scape for your ears I suggest you get this album now from the German genius Apparat. Walls is an LP that is consist ant from start to finish and takes you on a journey like no other. He really has created a masterpiece here with electronics, glitchty ambients & pure guitar bliss. Apparat has also done remixes for Boys Noize and been remixed by the guys too. Even if you don't listen to the whole album I strongly just suggest that you listen to the tracks Arcadia, Holdon & Fractales Pt 1.

the Teenagers @ the Met

2008-06-13T22:03:00.004+10:00

Last night i was lucky enough to see the Teeangers gig at the Met last night. Shit it was sooo good. Highlights being the time I spotted the guys outside before they played, then when I bumped into Quentin inside by himself and he told me we should have a pic together and of course when the crowd all got up on stage and took over. The guys put on such a good show and I'm keen to see them again soon. Be sure to grab a copy of their lastest LP Reality Check, which is some of the best indie rock out.

Mcleod Loves Horses...Those of the White Kind

2008-06-08T11:03:00.005+10:00

So you all know how much I love Ozzie talent, and my love Sarah McLeod is a prime example of that. She is just putting the finishing touches to her next LP, yet untitled, and I couldn't be more excited. The lead single White Horse is already working its way around the blogging world and is set to be a hit in the clubs here and abroad. Personally I enjoy the Bass Kleph remix most with its dirty bass and hypnotic vocals. Can it be any better than this?? Nice job Sarah & MR. BK.

REMIX Phokus...Ladytron:Ghosts

2008-06-05T20:24:00.004+10:00

This one is on constant repeat of late ever since I purchased the new album by Ladytron... well its not just the original its the remixes too. The Toxic Avenger RMX pulls us to the dance floor with the killer instrumental in the mid section. Then there is the Modwheelmood RMX which draws on a reflective note and could be used quick effectively in TV show. There are more available on the single release so be on the lookout for them too. Oh and of course there is the original which i must say is a masterpiece. I'm looking forward to seeing Ladytron when they play in my city on the 1st of October at the Tivoli. I can't wait. Until then I'm going to keep playing their latest LP Velocifero, which i suggest you buy now if you haven't already.

ENJOY.

Spazz if U Want 2

2008-06-02T16:39:00.003+10:00

Just over a week now till N.E.R.D. drop album No.3 Seeing Sounds, and so far I have been hooked on the opening single, Everyone Nose (with the controversial video of chicks doing crazy things). Now it's time to introduce single 2, Spazz, a fusion of drum&bass, a hypnotic guitar riff and plenty of rapping goodness. I think this LP is set to be huge, even though I have enjoyed previous efforts by the boys I think now is the time for the rest of the world to take notice and hopefully they will this time round.

So Spazz if U want 2!!!

Sunday Arvo Session Inpetto does...ReFresh&ReCykle

2008-06-01T13:00:00.004+10:00

Hope your weekend has been one to remember... So to help you calm down and get back in the motions for another week I have hunted down the Inpetto remixes they have made of late to bring a breathe of fresh air to some old classics and turned them into house anthems for today. The 1st is Toca's Miracle by Fragma, a club smash worldwide in the past, and is once again in the top of the club charts crushing competition, crazy i know after all these year. Next is Children by Robert Miles, one of those songs I will never forget as the piano takes you away to another place. I could see myself dancing away at a festival to these songs no sweat, well maybe if it was a little hot. LOL.

KelisKelisKelis?

2008-05-31T15:32:00.004+10:00

Where the heck has she gone? Kelis has some of the best in your face tracks out on the commercial market. However I reckon she leans more towards the indie kids. Just recently her label release a greatest hit CD, but its still the beginning. According to Wikipedia she is in the process of working on her 5th LP, an indie/dance themed effort yet untitled with Cee-Lo Green & Calvin Harris. This year Australian Big Brother has used one of her tracks for its promotion, I don't think so! It's a perfect number off her last LP, Kelis Was Here, with a rock attitude and a FCK U theme. I would call it one of those songs that can get stuck in your head for a very long time...

In other news I have had this Kelis RMX of Milkshake on my hard drive for some time now (about a year maybe) so I thought it might be the right time for the world to hear it. It's a short edit as I never really finished it off, but i hope you all like.

2008-05-27T22:29:00.002+10:00

After seeing miss Uffie at the start of the year I kinda grew more on an interest in the Ed Banger singer. Many are divided as to whether she deserves all the credit she is given. I think yes. I mean despite the rumours she is talented, and makes a crowd standup. SebastiAn even chopped her up to make a killer RMX of Pop The Glock, which is hardly recognisable as always. Now with the release of Robot Oeuf, we are sent into the future sounds of POP music, a hard bass, and slapping drums back by a cute cut up vocalist.

Mondayitis Cure: Sample Flavours

2008-05-26T13:56:00.004+10:00

It's countdown time till Alanis Morissette is set to release her 7th LP, Flavours of Entanglement internationally on the 2nd of June. This time Ms. Morissette has hooked up with one of my favourite and most influential music producers Guy Sigsworth who worked with Imogen Heap when they teamed up to make Frou Frou. Now I haven't heard the album in full yet as most traces of it have been removed from the leaking internet pages by obviously the masterminds at her record label that hunt down leaks. However a few songs are floating around & I'm quite surprised by the direction she has taken, with elektro synths, heavy percussion beats & deep guitar/piano driven melodies. It's a new flavour, and im loving it. But could this mean that new Alanis fans may merge and older ones diminished as she moves into indie territories? My standouts so far are of course Underneath (which is standard Alanis) & Moratorium (which pushes the AM movement into new highest). So when June 2nd comes I will be rushing to get this new album of excitement, let's hope the world embraces this new Flavour with open arms.

TVP: ThomasVonParty

2008-05-22T15:00:00.004+10:00

Some like it mellow, some like it hard, I like it Von Party. Thomas Von Party to be precise, the younger bro of Tiga who can spin out a flipping great set. Your ears are in for a treat with the Edit he does of the D.I.M. remix of Disco Sirens by Midfield General. It's Turbo Recordings at their best, very dirty indeed. TVP also has podcasts over at Sid Loves Turbo, so go check them out.

Solange has Decided

2008-05-21T18:27:00.003+10:00

How can I describe the talented Solange? Ms. Knowles is a sexy, voice with so much energy that you just can't ignore. At just 21 she has written pop songs and collaborated with some of the biggest names in the business, releasing her 1st LP back in 03. Now 08 Solange is releasing album 2 on August 26 titled Sol-Angel And The Hadley St. Dreams with a different flavour of soul and jazz, think Amy Winehouse with a higher pitch and not on crack.

The 1st single off SATHSD is a Pharrell Williams penned/produced track called I Decided, also remixed by Freemasons, this track could of easily been released back in Bandstand time. This is not the last we will hear about Solange...so Check it out.

Save Music From Extinction

2008-05-17T20:53:00.005+10:00

Imagine a world without Music.... now read on how this could happen... This post is simply here to remind you that if you don't support the talented musicians and artists that bring you the music to your ears, then you will most likely not have it to listen to in the near future (refer to the video on Music In Tune). Most artists these days barely scrap in the dollars to survive. Their not in it for the money, their there to give you the songs you all so love and enjoy. SO much time is spent making a track, which is why it's really important that you consider this when you download a track and don't bother to buy the CD/Legally download it later. As an Australian our music industry is a lot smaller, so I urge you all to support the Aussies so they can keep making the music.

Thanks for your support. & Save Music From Extinction.

LUKUS.

AM: Amy Meredith

2008-05-15T10:16:00.002+10:00

I love finding a Aussie band who sound better than most others on offer, and that's just what we have here with Amy Meredith. AM sound like they are from the UK indie scene, and are dressed/styled to impress. But guess what they aren't!!! THEY ARE ALL AUSTRALIAN!!! & i Love them to bits. Take This War for example, it a soundscape that takes you away possibly to a concert scene with you standing right at the front trying to touch the band. Well thats what i felt anyway. LOL. Black Eyes channels a circa 2003 post The Killers sound, but with a better attitude of course. This band has much to offer and I'm looking forward to a LP soon, and when it hits La MB will be right on its tail. Until then enjoy their MP3 give away of This War or if your in Australia head to one of their shows. I know I want to on the 3rd of June.

Sunday Arvo Shuffle: Do you want to read this?

2008-05-11T21:26:00.003+10:00

That's what the lady in the sit across from myself attacked upon me as I listened to Crystal Castles, Xxzxcuzx Me. I can't believe she thought my music was too loud. Well maybe it was a little. Anyway I took one of my earphones out and replied, "Nah, that's okay." then quickly shot back, "If you wanted me to turn it down then you could of just asked." Clearly the lady just wanted to make a scene and doesn't appreciate CC or any great music for that matter. So here is my itunes on shuffle for 5 track which i plan to play real LOUD next time so she can her it.

ENJOY.

We Just Struck a GOLDmine!

2008-05-06T19:19:00.002+10:00

Most of you by now would have heard of the talented Santogold from Brooklyn, NY with a voice like M.I.A. mixed with Aretha Franklin this is one chick who is set to be a household name. Now with a LP under her belt Santogold, (or Santi White as she is formally called) is set to take over the world with lead single L.E.S. Artistes which I have spoken about previously on my podcast. This album is on fire covering all kinds of the music spectrum, such as indie rock, new wave, electro beats and funked out tracks that make me want to jive. There are too many standout tracks on this one so I'll let you be the judge. But I will leave you with my favourite track at the moment, which is track 2, You'll Find A Way. This is one goldmine to tell your friends about, so get on board the wagon now!!

P.S. Head to RCRD LBL to get the exclusive track Your Voice not featured on her LP.

One Shoe Fits All

A guilty pleasure of mine at the moment is The Shoes, a French band cooking up a storm of hard hitting Electro/Indie/Rock & POP (according to them). My standout track is America. The guys also remix a dozen & more other artists and are doin a freaking awesome job at it. So check em out and get into these shoes, cause you may never want to take them off.

TPC: In an Elephant Shell

2008-04-30T14:08:00.004+10:00

Maybe I'm slow, but i have just discovered how great Tokyo Police Club are. I must be stupid. It's great too that they come from Canada. Love it. With their garage sounds you cant go wrong, its raw overload and I'm goin to be in love forever. They just released their LP Elephant Shell and if your into the Indie Rock sound this is for sure the CD for you. At the moment I'm really digging the RAC remix of Be Good check it out now.

REMIX Phokus...Utah Saints:SG

2008-04-27T22:08:00.003+10:00

Its been on blogs for a while now... So I thought it would be my turn to talk about the recycled track by the Utah Saints, Something Good 08 . Why is it so good? Because A. "It stands out with its 90's classic sounds of the piano & vocals" & B. "Van She Tech & Bart B More have worked their magic to give us 2 freaking awesome remixs of it." For more remixes head to TheSexyResults spill on UT SG review.

Oh yeah and the film clip is NUTs, you won't forget it anytime soon. Or you will most likely be telling someone about it after you see it. Check it out.

Could this be Bad...?MJ is slowly coming back!!

2008-04-27T18:25:00.004+10:00

I don't know about you but I'm getting over excited about all the Michael Jackson tunes floating back, HATE the Beat It (Fall Out Boy & John Mayer attemping a) cover tho!!! Which makes me think that MR. MJ will be returning with a new album sometimes this year. It will be make or break for sure. So while we wait for the explosions of the new tunes... let's get down and dirty with the Mowgli remix of BAD. SHIT! this remix is so good. If you know of any other great remixes of MJ songs, be sure to pass em on.

ENJOY.

Another French guy on the Boys Noize Label, Brodinski who is cooking up some mighty fine RMXs mostly collabs with others from the same genre as himself. Club/Afro-beat/Disco House is what he describes his style as, and I don't doubt it at all, with banging Kick drums and super synths... This is one artists to lock into the playlist for a pre-night out soundtrack. And if you ever just want a full set down by BDS then head to his blog SmokeMashine for downloadable podcasts which wont disappoint.

REMIX Phokus...CC:Courtship Dating

2008-04-24T09:48:00.005+10:00

Since getting Crystal Castles self titled debut LP I have pretty much just gone crazy for the band snapping up all things relating to them and consuming all forms of medium attached with their name. Which brought this remix to my attention by J-La, a DJ from NYC, Brooklyn who is banging out some heavy remixes of late. A hard kick, plently of synths and bleeps and a constant bassline = HOT REMIX!!

Mr. French F.F.

2008-04-24T01:02:00.004+10:00

fredze fred is choppin up beats and giving my ears a workout (or should I say thrashing) of late. Just who is he? Well he is a little Filthy French man making some of the best Psychedelic /Club tunes around that will make you bleed till you can't dance no more. It reminds me of SebastiAn for some reason, maybe all the breaks??? So get over to his myspace and check the remix library he has got going for himself!!! Last Yr he pumped out a remix for another French act SaraZvati. Get your ears ready...

Indie From Down Under...Cassette Kids

2008-04-17T16:15:00.004+10:00

Once again another HOT aussie band has found its way to my ears! WHO are they? Well they are the Cassette Kids, from Sydney. A good looking 4some who bring all the best in indie rock to our ears. & For all those who live in Australia, you are in for a treat when they support the Presets in their tour this June. WOOO. Thats mean i will be seein the kids on the 14th.

CK bursted onto the scene when they scored the winning position to preform at Big Dat Out and have toured every nook and cranny since then. So they should be set to release a nice Phat LP real soon. To keep you on the same bang wagon, check out Acrobat below.

Sam @ MONO

2008-04-17T14:07:00.005+10:00

One of my favourite Djs is playing @ MONO again. It's the talented Sam La More, who has kicked out some pretty mean remixes of late, most memorable are the 2 tracks off Pnau's lastest CD. Using bleeps & synths to get the crowd goin Sam is definitely a crowd pleaser and I suggest you get your ass their if you a big fan. It's also my 21st party that night, SO i may just be around. I'm having it at Birdee Num Nums from 8.30pm mainly cause its cheaper to drink there and it suits a broader audience. But im not sure if i can survive a whole night without a bit of electro...

Just Drill Drill & Mash

2008-04-16T00:27:00.004+10:00

It's happened again, when i ventured out to Fluffy on Sunday I heard a freaking awesome remix of Fergie's London Bridge. However when i got on the net to search for it, I discovered it was not a remix but a mashUP. WOOO. haha. SO anyway its a mash of London Bridge & The Drill. The funny thing is the file says its a remix, but its clearly a mash. So I have included the original track below so you could do the comparison. In a nut shell it's a damn hard mash & great sound to dance to if you'd ask me. Let me know what do you think??

Foals: >> Electric Bloom >>>RMXXX

2008-04-13T16:16:00.004+10:00

Im pretty disapointed that the Foals are running a Remix Comp only open to UK residents for their song Electric Bloom. I think I might cry.... NAH... NEVERmind, I still got the acapella so im working on a remix of mine own anyway. In my search i found some remixes that might win the comp tho. They have been passed around the blogging world a bit so far but here they are anyway. Both of this 2 tracks would be easily slotted into a clubbing playlist somewhere.

Mondayitis Cure:...Goldfrappen Happiness

2008-04-07T23:48:00.003+10:00

Last weekend was insane, Electrik Kiss was off the hook, will post some crazy pics this week... BUT...Now its time to get back to reality, I found the best song to put me back on the straight and narrow. It's the Metronomy remix of Goldfrapp's next single Happiness, (available April 14) which features the Teenagers putting in their ten cents worth on duet kinda vocals. Now I know some of you already have this remix cause its on high rotation around the blog world, so I thought it would be my turn. WHY? cause its a damn cool remix/song for Mondayitis Cure too. So get out the asprin and let your mind escape with HAPPINESS!!!

Kate M0$$ is F-ing H0t!!

2008-04-03T21:59:00.003+10:00

Just got this email from Venue, a 3 piece band from California who have a sound that really sticks. With an 80's sounding influence and co-ed vocals I could see myself falling deeep deep in love with this band. Nothing excites me more than a band with a chick, or a girl band with a guy. Just looks cool. My brothers band has a chick drummer and it gives them that little bit more of an edge. Anyway back to Venue, who sent me their lastest offering Kate, which screams the lyrics 'Kate M0$$ is fuckin' HOt!!' haha nice work guys. Its a very electric track that will get your head banging and your boots tripping. Also they sent me a nice remix to compliment the track. Have a listen & Tell me what u think...

Remix Phokus...This Boys In Love

2008-04-01T21:43:00.005+10:00

This Boys In Love is one song I've probably played too much on my ipod & itunes over the past few weeks. & Guess what? Im about to play it OVERTIME... Thanks to the recent findings of the remix by LifeLike. The LifeLike remix is a floater of a track, sending us into space. It looks like The Presets are goin to OWN 2008.

2008-03-31T18:47:00.003+10:00

He's done again, my good friend Dj Barletta has smashed out another great remix. This time he has taken on the great Bryan Cox track Let's Go To Work. I can already picture myself dancing to this track in my favourite club Monastery. I would have to say that all of Dj Barletta's song are masterpieces just waiting to explode on the international scale. So tell your friends!!! Play it loud... AND get the dance on!

ENJOY.

Sunday Arvo Session: ...Ladytron

2008-03-30T23:52:00.004+10:00

Yep... It's true, I'm addicted to Ladytron... I blame all the other blogs that are talking about them Oh yeah and the fact that they are a F-ing great band too. The hype and build up to their forthcoming LP, is killing me. Now with the release of Black Cat, I think I might just wet my pants. Can they just pull the date forward. June is too far away!!! Which is why I have been busting my back looking for remixes to keep me goin till then. So I have found 3 that have my attention at the moment. My favourite being the Soulwax Remix of Seventeen, you'll find it also on the sidebar Listening Station to the right, that's if your reading this blog in the last week of March & the 1st week of April. SO get addicted to Ladytron!!!

Introducing:...Ctrl Alt Del

2008-03-30T21:01:00.003+10:00

Well I thought I would give a little introduction into the band Ctrl Alt Del, which Mic Doney is apart of... & who recently sent an email my way regarding his Veronicas RMX, (see previous post). C.A.D are like Rogue Traders in many ways, there are 3 guys & 1 girl, they come from aussie shores, have dance/pop/rock tunes, yet without all the commercial strings. But if you have a few listens you will get my drift. Still I like them, I see a market for them and I believe in them... OR else i wouldnt be blogging about em. I really like Take Me Away where the guy vocals kick the track off. Sharing the vocal job is what makes them special. Head to their myspace page now.

HOOK ME #2: ...CTRL ALT DEL

2008-03-30T20:48:00.002+10:00

This is 2nd Remix I am posting regarding the song Hook Me Up by The Veronicas. Now this one came to my attention after Michael Doney of band CTRL ALT DEL sent it my way. The remix builds on the original, adding more dance & electro elements to make it last longer and give it more life on the dance floor.

ENJOY.

Remix Phokus...COCOTAXI Vs. Yelle

2008-03-28T11:40:00.004+10:00

It's really great to see my blog growing, and lately I have been getting emails from you guys to put your material here. I'm more than happy to, considering that COCOTAXI have remixed my gal Yelle!!! The guys from Sweden, have also taken on Cassidy & Three 6 Mafi. So head to their myspace where you can grab more remixes by them. I'm diggin their sound and hope to hear some original banging tracks by them VERY soon.

Cut, Copy & Taste

2008-03-28T02:53:00.002+10:00

Yep, i have just been listening to Cut/Copy's new LP, In Ghost Colours which came out a few days ago. AND I think I may just like it. The IGC journey is much like a happy little trip to a place of jumping bunnies & fluffy clouds. It really is an album to put on when your feeling sad or blue. SO chuck it on when you've had a big night/weekend and you need a pick me up for a background tune. Obviously the standouts for me are Hearts On Fire (the 1st single) & So Haunted. But after a few listens it feels as if the CD is one giant track. Like I said it really is a journey of an album not to be missed. Grab a copy now from itunes, which in the AUST store is selling for 10.99$ (bargain!!!) or get off the net & go get one from your local CD man.

2008-03-17T14:40:00.002+10:00

I while back I contacted a band on myspace, LOTO asking them if I could do a remix after they contacted me for a friend request... Now a few months on I have done 2, 1 being Back To Discos & the other my lastest being Golden Boys. Its a bit off center, with heavy basslines (as usual) & some fun dance parts. So crank it up and ENJOY.

P.S. Work continues on my 2nd LP, yet I plan to blog release the 2nd single off it called B4 the Life of Now.... So keep and eye out for it!!!

2008-03-14T20:02:00.004+10:00

Every time I listen to this remix I tend to escape to another planet... I feel as though im floating off with the stars... And by the middle of the track im usually lip syncing (on the bus) haha... Robyn's voice is great for dance numbers... The Tong & Spoon Wonderland remix is one that just promotes this track to greater hightes. Thanks to the Ministry of Sound Clubbers Guide to 2008 for pushing this track.

Dj Barletta...DISKOTEQ

2008-03-12T22:58:00.003+10:00

He has brought us some pretty pumping Remixes lately... so now it's time for DJ Barletta to release some of his original stuff... Making a nice entry with Diskoteq.

DIM...@ the Monastery

2008-03-08T00:08:00.001+10:00

ARHHHHHH!!!! That's how good D.I.M. was at the Monastery last night!! It was a moment of pure electro bliss... Just watching him work the dials and choose the songs that would make us "the mono rats" jump/krump/pump away was out of this world. The energy levels were sky high and the walls were shaking with the sounds of all the best mixes DIM has done so far. From the Fancy Footwork remix, Airbus & the more mellow, yet heavy My Moon My Man remix it all came together to bring the best set I have ever experienced in a club. Could i be a slave to the music of DIM??? Quite possibly... Reminds me of a zombie in the Thiller video.

FABIAN

2008-03-05T14:57:00.003+10:00

It's not everyday that you come across an artist that emails you asking to be talked about on your blog, only to find that they are actually really flippin good. & thats what I found last week with Fabian. He is a 20 something guy from Melbourne, Australia and has the talent to be called the little brother of Justice. Seriously Fabian should be a name you know already, so learn it, enjoy it and play it LOUDER than ever before. The synth guitars will get you pumped up and Krumping like its Hot for hours. Give Fabian a shoutout too on his myspace and tell him what you think. Cause this is one artist who is already goin places...

P.S. When you head over to his Myspace page be sure to check out the comp of Remixing his song POW POW POW!!!

2008-03-03T22:14:00.004+10:00

Just a quick... rehash on Lindsay Lohan... Yep there is another track bout the misfit Rang-hur (GINGER TOP)!! & It's from the rapping team from NYC Pase Rock, who bust out with Lindsay Lohan's Revenge. It's a pretty cool number and a nice way to get a intro into the band, (even tho this track has been around for a while) who also collab with none other than La MB fav gal Amanda Blank.

Thanks Tys for finding this song for me.

ENJOY.

Friday Flashback ...Chemical Boys/Girls

2008-02-29T11:44:00.003+10:00

Back in the 90's just before the 00's The Chemical Brothers slapped this track on us. Hey Boy Hey Girl. Which became a huge #3 in the UK for 10 weeks. WOOyeah. With its addictive synth looping at the start to the guitar pounding in the chorus, HBHG is a classic that I will never forget. Even before I got hooked on the Dance genre I remember back when I was 11 getting hooked on the song. Strange I know. LOL. The filmclip is also great, with the girl growing up and still seeing skeletons her whole life, creepy. Fortunately for me, I get to see the Chemical Bros do a live set as I head to Future Music Festival at the Doomben Race Course 2moro. HECK YES!!! Will try and get some footage to post. Until then ROCK out to this classic!!!

Lindsay Lohan...Once Upon a Time

2008-02-28T21:54:00.003+10:00

...She actually had some decent tracks, all which were quite well marketed at the commercial market. Still, lyrically some of these tracks are freaking awesome. Especially on her 2nd LP A little more personal (Raw) in 2006, which didn't do aswell her debut Speak in 2004. Tho I believe most artists who break away from the pop market never do aswell as their previous efforts in sales. Just look at Hanson's last 2 albums, which im sure you've near heard. Anyway back to Lohan. Yes, she has had a few trips to rehab, but most of the great artists have these days, that's why there great. Just do me a favour, and have a listen to her 2 albums and take note of her vocal work and emotion that she pours into most of the tracks, esp on the 2nd LP. Standouts include, Over, Disconnected, Very Last Moment In Time, Confessions Of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father), Black Hole, I Live For the Day, If It's Alright, A Beautiful Life.

MOS: Clubbers Guide ...To 2008

2008-02-20T03:11:00.005+10:00

I love it when the Ministry of Sound Annual CD comes out it means more great songs to hear and a load of banging tunes to get hooked on. Even more I love it when the Clubbers Guide comes out. The 2008 Australian Edition is here and jammed pack with some deep basslines and hard hitting kicks to keep you partying on for hours. After only a few minutes previewing the CD it's fair enough to say that I won't be listening to much more than this for at least the next month or maybe even more. So expect a few reviews of the track over the next coming weeks. For all those in Australia, get a copy now. For those abroad find it on the net NOW!!!

MOS: Clubbers Guide to 2008 is mixed by Sam La More (Who I have seen live a few times) & Hook N Sling. Both Uber COOL DJs from Ozzie Land.

Sundays @ Fluffy: ...Global Deejays & Rozalla

2008-02-19T01:00:00.003+10:00

After another great night out in the valley on a Sunday @ Fluffy (the Family Nightclub, and another night of discovery. It seems that everytime I hit up fluffy I come out of it with a new tune or at least a remix to hunt down. This weeks remix being the classic Everybody's Free (To Feel Good) by Rozalla. Last year the guys of Global Deejays created a new take on the 1991 smash, giving it the club bang. By the time the bass fully kicks in I can't help but get the moves out. Seriously have a listen and you try. It kinda reminds me of the the Eric Prydz club hit Proper Education.

HOOK ME TRASH

2008-02-15T19:45:00.006+10:00

Many thanks for you patience, my day job has been very damning of late and I haven't been able to post as much as I have wanted, So a big apology if you have returned many times to the same old material. BUT I'm back, still loaded by my day job, however I have a bit of time to blog about some of the tunes I have fond over the past week.

Just Recently I have stumbled across a Tommy Trash Remix of the Veronicas hit Hook Me Up. It's very catchy and short and sweet, so if your a pop hater it won't kill you forever. The Bassline is deep as it should be and of course the high synth is present. Let loose and get a hook up.

DJ BaRLeTTa ...REMIXd Rihanna

2008-02-09T16:04:00.000+10:00

This guy is making some pretty banging remixes and recently I was posting his remix of the Ashlee Simpson song Outta My Head. Now Barletta is taking on Rihanna's Don't Stop The Music. It's another well crafted mix for the club and clearly will be a crowd favourite with the chicks. Oh yeah we can't forget to give respect to MJ with his samples being used for most of the backing of the track.

Mondayitis Cure: ...D.i.M. & K.i.M.

2008-02-04T18:18:00.000+10:00

Mix the 2 together and you a banging FISTOGRAM!!! Thats the track by K.I.M. that my mate tyson got me onto for the mondayitis cure. AND woah. Seriously I blame him now for my cravings to go out to the club and get this track played with much force. However I highly doubt that they won't refuse to play in at Monastery my local shrine/club/place.of.refuge yep I'm a MONO freak. But it has hosted some of the best DJs from round the globe. D.I.M. is playing there too... OMG goin to be as good as when MR.OiZO hit the decks. that was one night me and Tys will never forget.

Anyway back to this club banger. Fistogram is perfect. a lil tranced a lil dirty and full of punch.

Outta My Head

2008-02-04T13:35:00.000+10:00

So it hasn't hit the Australia itunes yet. But it hasnt stopped me from gettin hooked on Ashlee Simpson's new track, Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya) off her next LP Bittersweet World due out sometime in this 1st quarter of the year. The style is created obviously by mr. Music of the moment Timbaland. Yes its great he is helping every pop act get well bigger and noticed, but does he have to do freaking everything? Anyway if your up for a club number then hit up DJ Barletta's Remix. So damn hot and perfect for the night out for sure. I love how it starts to build up at the 1 minute mark! WOO yeah get crunk! A perfect reason why its the song on the Listening Station at the moment!!!

Just finished my version of Kylie Minogue's 2 Hearts. Its a little dark and yeah its a lil glam rock. I think this could be my most challenging remix yet. But anyway I want you to hear it now. Head to my myspace to support me. aluedius

Sunday Arvo Session MODULAR: ...Leave Them All Behind

2008-02-03T13:17:00.000+10:00

This is probably one of the coolest Mix Cds out there when it comes to Indie/Dance crossover shit. Funny thing is, is that its nearly 1 year old but still sounds fresh. So I suggest you hunt this gem down. Modular sure knows what hot in music and certainly delivers here with the Bang Gang Deejays on the Decks. My standout tracks would have to be Skip To The End (Digitalism Re-Rub) by The Futureheads & Change Channel by Lo-Fi-FNK. Priceless.

Complete your Sunday Arvo now by at least listening to these 2 tracks taken right of the mix.

New Remix ...Bugaboo

2008-02-02T16:00:00.001+10:00

Well, here is my interpretation of the 1999 single, Bugaboo by the now disband Destiny's Child. This track was released when DC had 4 gals and Michelle wasn't even in the band. Who knows why i called my remix "the night remix" I didn't even make a day remix, but i did make another one. Might post it some other time. I think this remix, on the other hand has come together well. I tried to make it as hard hitting and dancable as possible. So let me know if you enjoy it.

Get REm!xd...Ms. Minogue

2008-01-31T16:27:00.000+10:00

I can't help but take notice of all the great remixes coming from the tracks off Kylie Minogue's new CD X. For some strange reason she is getting remixed by EVERYONE, well not everyone, but it kinda feels like it. And these remixes are not just good, they are great! Take the In My Arms track reworked by Spitzer. It's So Damn HOT that i want to club, or at least just dance everytime I hear it. Dirty and full of breaks. Thanks Tristian over at SEXY RESULT for making me take notice of these tracks. Another addictive track is the David Guetta Remix of WOW. Very club friendly.

Snoop&Robyn

2008-01-29T21:13:00.000+10:00

What happens when you mix veteran rapper with the hottest Euro blonde rapper/singer? You get the maddest tune. Snoop Dogg has re-crafted his Sexual Seduction track from his forthcoming LP Ego Trippin' to make a new take with our favourite chick Robyn to create a masterpiece Sexual Eruption. I can't help to think that it has a kinda Timbaland & Nelly Furtado feel to it. Meh! I like it. Maybe a lil too much...

Tuesday...HOT CHIP

2008-01-29T20:40:00.000+10:00

Sorry for the absence, it's been a week of partying here down in OZ because of the Australia Day Celebration. I had a great deal of fun, but I'm wrecked now. So its time to blog again. 1st Up I just want to say that I love Hot Chip's new stuff and I'm excited about the album Made In The Dark coming out this weekend... woooyeah. Ready For The Floor is too addictive not to take notice, especially when Soulwax & Jesse Rose are doing Remixes of the track.

So rush out this weekend and a get the new LP fast.

Operator Please

2008-01-18T22:45:00.000+10:00

Okay I'm a big fan of local talent and over the past week Operator Please from the Gold Coast (Only like an hour drive from me) have been poking through the music stack... Thanks to the likes of the great REMIX. Bigstereo last posted the G.L.O.V.E.S remix of Get What You Want, and yep I'm proud to say that they are Australian too and have done a fine job of turning it into a club hit too. Meanwhile Hipster Runoff posted about the Teenagers remix of For my 2 Seconds, both songs taken from their debut album Yes Yes Vindictive, pretty good for a band that has mostly teens in it. GO AUSSIES!!!!

Friday Flashback: ...Aaliyah

2008-01-18T21:02:00.000+10:00

If the plane crash never happened back in 2001, this gal would be the Queen of RnB and the world of POP that is now! A product of Missy Elliot and Timbaland, Aaliyah sporned hits that will be remembered forever. Although just at the peak of her career as things were starting to take flight worldwide the beauty was taken from us. So what did she leave us... Well her self-titled album was a start, which I believe was well before its time. Honestly if she released it today, it would still be a top seller. If you can't remember Try Again, then let me refresh your memory, ROMEO MUST DIE???

Anyway the girl's legacy carries on and her songs live forever. AND... it would have been her birthday this week on the 16th. RIP AALIYAH!

Flex it Dizzee

2008-01-17T22:44:00.000+10:00

Am I getting addicted to Hip Hop? Could this be? Yeah I reckon I am... Meh all good. Dizzee Rascal is worth getting addicted to. Especial when a pumping Dave Spoon RMX is out there too. I reckon it might also be the UK factor. I love the Brit Music scene.... So Get Addicted to FLEX!! NOW!! I love it when you flex like that...

All the Uff about

2008-01-17T09:19:00.000+10:00

You've heard of her I'm sure. Lil Mis Uffie. Man I had to check her music out again after she came to Oz at the start of this month for Summafieldayze... Now to be honest I didn't watch all of her performance. But I did study her enough to get a few photos and just see who this Uffie gal was. Still I wasn't satisfied. And I'm stil kinda annoyed at how she got to where she is... HOw much work has this girl actually done?? MEH! dont't care anymore. the UFF has some great tunes. To be honest it makes me wanna work harder at my own music and style. I think First Love is a great Tune, which steers away from the rap and more into the post-late-80's-early-90's pop with a twist. Which brings me to a huge Question... Is this the future of Girl-Pop Music? Only copiers/imitations will tell!!

So if you were like me and shunned the Uff last year, Do no more and give the gal a 2nd chance. cause she is .. Ready to UFF...

7th Tree: LP Preview

2008-01-15T17:19:00.000+10:00

Okay so i couldn't wait... I just had to have a listen to one of my most inspiration bands, Goldfrapp's new LP Seventh Tree. Blame all the hype and those damn sister blogs that keep raving on about it. Oh yeah and blame the Frapp themselves, they have been teasing us for SO freaking long now. How was that loop vid on their site? CRAZY i tell ya. Am i mad? In a way yes. I don't on the other hand encourage you to find the album on a file sharing network. But do encourage you to find previews and remixes of the tracks in all areas of the jungle Internet.

From my recent listen I would have to say that obviously A&E is a standout because its been in our heads for at least 2 months now, also others to look out for would be Clowns, Some People & Caravan Girl. I reckon this album will be talked about for ages. Featuring the sounds of the classic keys used in all Frapp albums and those floating synths that blow us away to another world. And that's what they have managed to achieve with Seventh Tree. A sound scape of acoustic-folk 70's and breathy chants that will have you sailing away in no time. It's a standout, mainly because its such a different direction to previous efforts. Still I likey!!

I just want to say this, the A&E clip is very Goldfrapp, down right weird and everything we expect from the duo. Now kick back and enjoy the clip as I did and pray for February 25th to come sooner....

Goldfrapp - A&E.mp3

EVE: Tambourine

2008-01-15T16:03:00.000+10:00

Nothing like a tune about a object... Such as the major hit UMBRELLA, so now its time to sing about a Tambourine... Featuring the sounds obviously of tambs thru out. Eve captures all Hip-Hop goodness in this track... Also take a look at the remix that i found whilst on Palm Out Sounds last year, though I didn't hear EVE at all on it.

P.s. I didn't mean to go a R'n'B splurg... was just surfing the bloggin world and found the original of this track and it stuck which is why i blogged.

Ms. Rowland Solo-isms

2008-01-15T14:09:00.001+10:00

Have you ever seen Dreamgirls with Beyonce? ARHHH I think Beyonce is an okay actor... Just made me think about Beyonce in general... When I was in High School I freaking loved that gal. Then Kelly Rowland tried her thing at Solo-ism & I reckon is a heck of a lot better at it than most people give her credit for... Her songs stick for longer and don't die with the rest of the commercial crap out there. BUT that's just my opinion you don't have to agree. So have you heard "Work" her 2nd single of her latest LP Ms. Kelly? Yeah I didn't you would have... If you did tho, take a listen to the Freemasons Remix of it, it incorporates a bouncy Bhangra beat... Club Heaven!!!

ENJOY.

2008-01-13T22:57:00.000+10:00

Just finished a 1st take of Garbage's Androgyny & I'm pretty happy, let's just say that it's the type of track I want to be hearing at the club these days... Let me know what you think about it...

ENJOY.

Christopher Robin

2008-01-13T21:35:00.000+10:00

Christopher Robin have just created some new tunes Vision 2020, The Forest & Always. I'm really digging Vision 2020, which has a similar Happy feel that is present in most Muscle tracks. I just reckon 'us' Aussies are taking over the music scene, SO the rest of the world better look out... CR are a young all male duo from Brisbane, where I reign aswell, and I not long ago blogged bout the boys cause of their awesome sets that i saw in just a week. The Guys are keeping it fresh and current with distorted synths, heavy basslines and rich indie sounds vocals... ARH Gotta love em...

So head over to their myspace page now...

In the meantime dance to this remix they did

Sunday Arvo Session: Chromeo

Chemicals

2008-01-10T09:46:00.001+10:00

I'm taking about the 2 guys we like to call THE Chemical Brothers... Why didn't someone tell me sooner how good We Are The Night is??? I think it could have helped me get through a Sunday just perfectly. Seriously I'm hooked on Saturate, track 4 at the moment. But let me tell you the scary thing, I wouldn't have downloaded this album if it wasn't for me hearing one of the tracks at Electronic Boutique, funnily enough I was just comparing prices of a game I just bought and there it was pumping in the background. I politely asked the cashier as to who the artist was & he was reluctant to tell me, might i add the customer beside me had a smirk, I have NO idea why tho....

Anyway back to WATN, I reckon it's a classic, obviously you have all heard the originals and remixes of Do it Again & Salmon Dance, so have a listen to the rest of the LP now and let the good tunes/times roll....

DEclare INdependance

2008-01-08T09:32:00.000+10:00

As the 3rd Single of Volta, Declare Independence continues in true Björk stlye by fusing ambient electronic sounds with her raw screaming vocals of punk distortion. Things always get even more interesting with her Video for DI which see her reunite with Michel Gondry. The 2 have already done 6 videos together, clearly cemented Bjork's arty side both on and off the box.

My recommendation is this, have a listen to DI once, then watch the Video, and then have a listen to the remixes. I honestly didn't like the song at 1st, but heck I'm a bjork fan so after the 2nd listen I was hooked.

Get it now on itunes Declare Independence

Ultra Violet MC

2008-01-08T07:45:00.000+10:00

This artist discovery came about through a work colleague's daughter, who to my amazement was off the chart. She is only 21 and making tunes that would make M.I.A. jealous... I'm serious! From my 1st listen I was hooked.
Ultra Violet MC has this fusion of rapping over the sounds of all those retro video games we so loved to play as kids, & may still do so now. What's even better is that she is all Aussie and is keen not to hit commercialism anytime soon. UV MC is one of a kind, although some might day she was the sister of Macomantics, Kid Sister or M.I.A. Thankfully she is nice enough to let us download her tunes right off her myspace page.

Next on the list is making a RMX with her. Hopefully she agrees.

Check out the song Starfish

Mondayitis Cure: Summafieldayze Withdraws

2008-01-07T11:46:00.000+10:00

Thats right all, I'm sad to say that it was 2 days ago now that I was busting out to the sounds of Spank Rock, Uffie, Kissy Sellout & New Young Pony Club + others at The Spit for Summafieldayze 2008. Nevermind i have pics that I will hold onto forever, just click here to view them if your on myspace. Otherwise make an account now. NYPC will always be my standout for the event, oh yeah and the mud. SO much fun. To help me wind down I have 2 tunes that got me HIGHer than ever.

Aloha 2008

2008-01-02T17:44:00.000+10:00

Welcome to 2008. There is so much to look forward to. 1st UP in Festival land, I'm hanging out for Summafieldayze on the Gold Coast this Saturday, so be sure to catch my feature post highlighting the artists involved. Other Festivals include Future Music @ the races again, in March, which i missed last year ;-( nevertheless the FMF is back and better than ever with the Chemical Brothers headlining. In other music news, 08 is goin to be the return for some of our favourite artists. Goldfrapp are set to release their mellow LP A&E + Madonna the Queen of POP/DANCE is perhaps/or more than likely goin to smash the charts with her next album. arhhhhh I'm getting more and more exicted. New Tunes to hear, New Artists to be discovered.... What will 2008 bring...?

Mondayitis Cure: Last Day Of 2007

2007-12-31T03:50:00.000+10:00

THIS IS IT!... This is the last post for 07. I guess this post should be rather be about the songs to help you get through the parties for the NY, but I bet all the other blogs are doing that, so I'm going keep Monday Mellow cause I bet some of you partied last night anyway?? So here are a two of my favourite chillout tunes from 07. Both of these are covers... See you in 2008.
