“Kids, don’t do drugs” might serve as a good motto for MGMT’s latest video for their incredible single “Kids.” The video’s story follows around a toddler (most likely on acid. lol) who seems to see monsters everywhere he walks around, even in people. Guess there’s a dormant monster within every of us, even in your postman! The mom was totally annoying though, compelling me to smack my notebook’s display multiple times out of disgust for…
Karin Andersson’s debut self-titled record, released under her Fever Ray moniker, is one of the loveliest of the year, packed with a vibe of serenity and bliss. It’s incredible how Karin channeled her creativity and talent on the album, proving she will never really be able to stay away from music. Let’s just hope she doesn’t forget about her other creative outlet, as part of The Knife, anytime too soon. Her third single from her…
I wasn’t left very much impressed by Beastie Boys’ last album, the all instrumental The Mix-up. Sure, it had some really nice beats, on which you could easily groove to, but at the same time it kinda felt a bit repetitive. My more or less disappointment was caused, however, by the sentiment of loathing for more of the same material present on Beastie Boys’ extraordinary 2004 effort, To The 5 Borrows – a truly memorable…
OK, this is one weird ass music video, but weird has always kinda been a good word to characterize Royksopp’s work, be it visual or musical. Basically, it’s all about a hilarious soap opera between the talented Swede Robyn and a red tin headed robot. Robyn is left alone in her bead, watching MTV (Ouch!) and texting her robot lover, whose quite busy doing gardening and stuff. The video ends on a sad note, as…
The latest remix from The Golden Filer of Empire of The Sun’s “We Are The People” is proof yet again of the duo’s remarkable mixing skills, as they’ve managed to turn the original 180 degrees, providing us with a stunning electro anthem. Contemporary percussion mixed in with old school ’80s drum beats and some awesome synths scrapped off Golden Filter’s latest single “Solid Gold,” make it quite a listen. Check it out bellow.

Last night Animal Collective played a set in D.C.’s 9:30 club, where they simply rocked the sold out crowd. On top of that, fans had the chance to hear in first audition a new AC song, going by the working title of “Bleed.” One can plainly see it’s still a very raw version, but even so the track impresses through its sophisticated sound layers and trippy vocals by Panda and Geologist. Check it out bellow…
1901 is maybe the most catchiest songs of the year. It’s fun, upbeat and has a really steady flow of rhythm – can’t go wrong, right? Anyway, we’ve got two awesome remixes for you today of Phoenix’s single. First, the one by The Tremulance in which 1901’s upbeat chorus is taken to the max with a tempo increase on the beat and a few extra, lovely synths added for effect. Then there’s the one in…
Justice’s latest mix of Lenny Kravitz’s late 80’s debut single, “Let Love Rule”, is packed with a lot of groove, sex and funky beats, as well as the duo’s signature sound, making it quite a interesting rehash. It provides some definitely good practice for two as well, seeing how they’re due to hit the studio to start the production of their next LP. [via Kanye West’s blog] [display_podcast]
80’s old school synth pop, mixed in with contemporary beats and CSS-like anthem chants in the chorus – that’s how Clubfeet’s latest single Teenage Suicide, in a nutshell, sounds like. Clubfeet is an Aussie electro outfit that once again enforces the already solid dance music scene in the land down under. Yes, quality dance music is hard to come by these days. Check out their myspace for more song streams, as well as their iTunes…
After last year’s fun, but somewhat mediocre “Last Night” LP, Moby wants to make a bit of shift in direction with his upcoming new record “Wait For Me” – an album centered a lot more on emotions and creativity, as the American DJ himself confessed to in a recent interview with David Lynch. Apparently Lynch even influenced to quite a degree Moby’s new album, thanks to his well known evangelization of creativity as the epiphany…
