WAVES AT NIGHT

LATE NITE TUFF GUY

I’ve been pretty excited lately to feature new releases from fresh label Lightspeed Records, the latest project for Melbourne DJ turned producer Agent 86. Last month saw the first release, ‘Let There Be Light’, his own collection of funk-filled edits that included the Olivia Newton John inspired track ‘Magic‘ (you can grab it here if [...]

FORMERLY…

I’ve been on an intense binge diet of The Artist when he was formally known as Prince. Everyone knows his hits, Kiss, Raspberry Beret, Purple Rain etc. but his early back catalogue reveals gold that far eclipses his later number ones. These tracks have literally been on constant rotation keeping me sane and dancing for [...]

❒ HE▲LTH ❑

CHAINS

Dead Mellotron hails from Monroe, Louisiana and is made up of one member, simply known as Frazier. He has made his debut EP, Ghost Light Constellation, available for free download in its entirety on the band’s website.
Full of sweeping distortion and epic spaced out drums, especially on Untitled, the EP gives me the same feel [...]

R.I.P HUGHES

A belated post to honour the late great director John Hughes who past away last week. He was responsible for creating some of the most iconic teen flicks of the eighties. I paid tribute to him this weekend by digging up a classic record from the ‘Ferris Bueller’ soundtrack, the instantly recognisable theme song, ‘Oh [...]

DESIRE THE VERY BEST

Johnny Jewell of Glass Candy and Chromatics has yet another side project to his name, Desire, and once again it consists of him doing production duties while an ethereal female sings breathily over the top. While part of me wants to just shake him and say make another Glass Candy record dammit! it’s a welcome [...]

HIATUS

With all the shit that’s been going on recently I haven’t really found the time to post anything, or even keep up to date. There’s been so many new things happening to me that the thought of actively seeking MORE new things to digest seems crazy. Regardless, I have picked up one or two things [...]

FINK PLOYD

Just adding to my post last week featuring DJ Agent 86; he’s been kind enough to share his amazing remix of the classic Pink Floyd anthem ‘Another Brick In The Wall’. You’ll be happy to know that he doesn’t steer away from the [...]

UNISON

I hate friend requests from bands on myspace because usually its some hip hop due who loves to mix in classical music with hard hitting lyrics about how hard life is on the street in North Balwyn.
But I’m still dickish enough not to click on the option ‘block band requests’ because that happy little ‘you [...]
