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 [...]

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 [...]

Some gems for you here. All very highly recommended.
You probably would have heard this one before out on some big speakers. Skatt Bros cult classic ‘Walk The Night’ was, and still is, a dance floor bomb.
MP3: Skatt Bros – Walk The Night (12” Single)
Finally got around to picking up the latest RVNG of the [...]

One of the best eclectic mixes I have heard in ages. As good as/better than most Optimo or Glimmers mixes. Huge props to Tosh Ohta (and to one of the best blogs around for the link, The Beat!).
Tracklisting:
# Happy Mondays – Wrote for Luck (Tribute edit) / Tribute
# Moloko – Sing It Back (Mousse T’s [...]

Wither With Her EP // Cover design by: JD
A fresh beginning – that’s the way Bachelor of Arts are approaching 2010 and the release of their new EP, Wither With Her.
After their 2009 US tour, the band reflected on collective experience. It was a year split between three continents and in which time, a lot [...]

This may perhaps be my last post before christmas as Im off down the coast to soak up the sun; and while Im in a happy, sunny mood I think Ill lay out some great disco cuts for your listening pleasure.
I saw Tim Sweeney play last weekend here in Melbourne (well, Meredith Music Fest to [...]
