WELCOME TO THE PARTY
We are constantly seeing rising stars emerge from our own soil everyday and CSK OK is set to be our next home grown talent. I’ve been following the quick uprising of this local Sydney producer quite closely, ever since he amazed me with his acoustic rendition of the Bag Raiders hit Fun Punch! It didn’t [...]
RATATAT & CAZALS
Photo: Xavier Connelly
I think it must just be me, it seems. I never really got into Cazals. Phil’s voice just got on my nerves. I never knew why. Now that Ive listen to the album I do. All the songs are just radio friendly, meandering indie fodder. But you know, Im not saying this means [...]
SHOW
Romanthony (best known for his work with Daft Punk; his voice on featured on tracks “One More Time” and “Too Long”, on the Discovery record), has teamed up with Laidback Luke and Top Stephan, churning out a fine housey track indeed. It’s nothing like the classic Roule hit Romanthony had in 1999 with “Hold On“, [...]
TST
TST. No, I dont know what it stands for. Doesnt really matter. These guys make some dark, energetic, indie post-punk. There has been so much good music coming out Melbourne lately that I feel I barely have to look anywhere else but down the road to find it. If you dig these guys, just wait [...]

The Presets – Are You The One? (Lifelike Remix)
The new clip for the BMW endorsed, updated 2005 track.5
KIM-BERRRRRR-LEY
OK so we have this equation:
p = j + k
(where p = the presets, j = julian and k = kimberley isaac moyes (k.i.m.))
So therefore, k = p – j …
Yeah, so anyway, KIM is The Presets, minus Julian. Confused? Well you could also say KIM is 1/2 of The Presets. OK, I think you [...]
HEARTACHE
Definitely not the promised French Friday but it’s close to it; trust me, there will be one next Friday. I know I’m slack. Plus so very, very cold…
Heartache:
(n) grief, heartbreak, brokenheartedness (intense sorrow caused by loss of a loved one)
MP3: Heartache – Numb (Kris Menace Remix)
MP3: Heartache – Don’t Stop (Lifelike Remix)
MP3: Pryda (Eric Prydz) [...]
COLD COLD WEEKEN
I…love…this album. Nowhere is one of THE best shoegaze albums of the 90’s. After Loveless obviously. I would like the re-spread the love of these British gentlemen, because it seems like people are just getting onto My Bloody Valentine and not some of the other, great stuff out there. Well, here is my favourite track [...]
SICK SIRENS
Calling in Sick boys have done it again. Mass props to the lads as the original + remixes weren’t doing it for me, but this shit’s huge. TIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! If this doesn’t get you moist then get back to listening shit like this. Get it while its hot and steamy.
Oh and some news from their camp: [...]

Pivot – In The Blood
First official video by the first Australian band to be signed to Warp Records.
THE FINGER PRINCE INTERVI...
We managed to catch Gus da Hoodrat, one sixth of the Bang Gang Deejays, just before he boarded a flight with Jamie Doom to Europe for their epic 100% Mega Dance Tour for Modular. Gus has been part of the Bang Gang dj posse ever since their weekly nights at the infamous Club 77 in [...]
MINIMUM CHIPS
One of my favourite groups, Hot Chip, never failed to astound me with anything they touch and these two reworks are nothing short of amazing. The first is a short little remix of a Stones classic, which easily captures the spirit and warmth of the original, perfect for those kite flying afternoons in the park.
The [...]
LIFE ON THE STREET
Finally the blog is back rollin & scratchin’ again. While writing this I am listening to Mashed 4 which I was anticipating a tad since the last compilations in the series were pretty cool (having Ajax and even Bang Gang doing mixes). But still I’m not one for Ministry releases and despise them greatly. And [...]
<><><><><><><><><><><>
Back into it. Being at work 6 days a week is tiring. Barely had time to listen to anything new in the past couple of days. One thing that really has caught my attention though is a band out of California called Pocahaunted. Awesome name. They play some amazing psychadelic, ambient folk. Think something along [...]
LOCAL PRODUCE…
I didn’t take long for Australia (and the UK) to fall in love with the intergalactic foursome that is The Galvatrons. In just under 12 months these synth-bearing mavericks from the future (or past?) have conquered the indie-dance world with their addictive 80’s movie soundtrack melodies and power ballad anthems. They now have a shiny [...]
