Having explored a number of directions in their formative stages, World’s End Press (Melbourne) have somehow found their feet moving about in a post-millennium adaptation of classic Disco and House Music. Their loyal following of dancers is testament to an extravagant and exciting live show. Having spent the latter part of last year recording their [...]

HEALTH – Die Slow (Tobacco Remix)
Brutal video for a remix of a brutal track. I caught HEALTH last week here in Melbourne and it was amazing, if a little short. This remix comes courtesy of the head of the awesome 70’s-throwback mellowtron drenched band, Black Moth Super Rainbow.

Bryce Isbell (aka FUR) resides in Denton, Texas, which is why I can see the idea of collaborating with Alan Palomo of Neon Indian and VEGA fame on his new release ‘Witches’. I was going to post that track, but decided this one was actually better. The whole album floats around Chill Wave/Glo-Fi territory [...]

With each dose of disco, I need a dose of something slightly darker to balance it out. So along comes the punk/darkwave.
Malaria! were an all female German darkwave band, existing primarily around the early to mid 80’s. Probably their best known track, ‘Kaltes Klares Wasser’ (or Cold Clear Water), has been featured on heaps of [...]

‘People’s Potential Family Album’ is a wicked compilation collecting together the best of the Peoples Potential Unlimited catalogue so far. All of the tracks on the album were previously only available on 12″ or 7″ vinyl releases and this is the first time that these obscure 70’s & 80’s soul, funk & disco gems have [...]

Black Van is Kris Menace and KoweSix (1/2 of Moonbootica). One could say this is one little exciting side-project, as the boys are now bringing out their first release “Yearning” on DFA (avail. 20th of Feb).The release comes backed with a Emperor Machine remix of the titled track. “Yearning” is quite nice, still growing on [...]

As we like helping friends here at the blog, we are happy to put out the good word of this spectacle, [...]

Antony & the Johnsons – Crazy in Love (Beyoncé Cover)

Simple Minds back in the day were amazing. Before they went all poppy ‘Breakfast Club’ with ‘(Dont You) Forget About Me’, they were actually quite experimental and produced some dance punk gems, namely on their third album, ‘Empires and Dance’.
MP3: Simple Minds – This Fear Of Gods

ZE Records, back in the late 70’s and early 80’s, released some of the best and most iconic No Wave and Mutant Disco tracks of the time. Not just from New York (such as the founders Partner, Lizzy Mercier Descloux) where the label was based, but all over. It pretty much died in the late [...]
