Parallels are bringing their unique brand of dark, shimmering dance pop to Brooklyn, and whoa whoa whoa, who the heck is this band? Some information: Parallels is an electronic-pop duo consisting of Cameron Findlay (former drummer of Crystal Castles) and honey-haired front girl Holly Dodson, whose vocals combine the intense balladry of Kate Bush with the sweetness of Kylie Minogue and Madonna's true- blue era. Their sound is easily likened to classic pop sentiments of the "big guys" like New Order and Depeche Mode, but with a modern relevancy. [...]

Quelques mignardises sucrées pour finir le week-end avec légèreté. the ghost of the saber tooth tiger -jardin du luxembourg- folded light -kelly- liechtenstein -sophistication- foster the people -pumped up kicks- beach fossils -golden age- au revoir simone -all or nothing (jensen sportag remix)-
Max Cooper 's carved out somewhat of an esteemed reputation for himself. And his production output is nothing short of prolific. His recent remix of Hot Chip cuts the original's vocals into a distant arpeggiated flow. Behind it sits a medley of clicks, clacks and deep pulsating bass pads, together forming an enchanting, oscillating ripple of techno rhythms: Hot Chip - I Feel Better (Max Cooper Remix) [pelski highly recommends] Cooper pulls in a killer groove [...]
A lot of exciting things are happening this month, Hear No Evil continues to lock in clients, EMPT did over 2 Terabytes of traffic last month which is flat out ridiculous for this underground baby, and moves are being made on a daily to keep things in motion - We get's busy ya'll. On top of all that I woke up not too long ago to work on this mixtape and I was in pure delight when I finally got to listen to this months LMDM. Steph and I call ourselves twins when it comes to music and the song [...]
On day 2 Phara and Isabelle had joined us - just for the day. On day 3 we got the company of Sofie (her twin sister Stefanie, as well as Hermine, had arrived the day before) and I finally met Jort (who runs the awesome Over Muziek ). But now for the important part: what did I see? Cymbals Eat Guitars Comment: in all honesty guys, we JUST missed Cymbals Eat Guitars. Which left us sad and disappointed. Gisèle had caught them a couple of months before at Trix in [...]
Electronic dream pop band Au Revoir Simone is Erika Forster (vocals/keyboard), Annie Hart (vocals/keyboard) and Heather D'Angelo (vocals/drum machine/keyboard). Since 2003, the Brooklyn-based outfit have been making subtle, breezy, electrofolk and their sound has been praised by the likes of Q Magazine and NME. On the heels of their widely acclaimed third album, Still Night Still Light (Moshi Moshi 2009), considered by many as their best work so far, Au Revoir Simone recently released a companion remix album called Night Light . The album takes the twelve tracks included on Still [...]
Brooklyn's hotshot duo Punches sets the dance floor on fire with this trumpet-laden track of Au Revoir Simone's. Looking forward to seeing these guys perform with Classixx and and Eli Escobar this Saturday at the Brooklyn Bowl. Only You Can Make You Happy (Punches Remix) - Au Revoir Simone
We featured newcomer Little Loud, a few weeks ago and we were more than seduced by his melodic, disco beats - he's obviously young, naive and happy and this comes across in his latest remix of the fantastic "Believer" by Goldfrapp. His sound sits somewhere between Mylo, Air and Royksopp. Perfect synth pop for the summer months. We've arranged for him to make us a mixtape soon, so keep your eye's peeled. He's also completed a slew of remixes for other happy people including Memory Tapes, Au Revoir Simeone and HEALTH. Check his Soundcloud out too [...]
Brooklyn boys PUNCHES aka Alan Astor and DJ duo Finger on the Pulse, bring disco vibes by the bucket load, whether it's through their remixes or their own material. This is actually where they're at their strongest, their track Let Go being a great example of how to bring such a retro disco/house sound back to life; comparisons to Aeroplane are apt and well deserved. Also here's their trumpet-led remix of Au Revoir Simone's latest single. It's a real summery treat. PUNCHES - Let Go [...]

Die süsse Verschmelzung aus Melancholie und Disko: Am Montag spielen Au Revoir Simone im Abart. "W e're in a keyboard band" - Genau wie die drei Bandmädchen, so klammern sich ihre Songs an den Keyboards fest. Seit sieben Jahren perfektionieren Au Revoir Simone das Zusammenspiel aus mehrstimmigen Gesang, Keyboard-Klängen und Drum-Machines. 2005 debütierten sie mit dem Minialbum "Verses of Comfort, Assurance and Salvation", im vergangenen Jahr veröffentlichte das charmante Ensemble ihren zweiten Langspieler "Still Night, Still Light". Wieder verträumter Electro, wieder harmonieseliger Pop: Die drei Brooklyner bleiben sich glücklicherweise treu. Wer [...]

PUNCHES is a trio composed of twin brother DJ's Finger on the Pulse and Alan Astor from Brooklyn, New York. They describe their sound as Summer Disco, influenced by disco vibes with indie elements. We can hear that in their original track called 'Let Go', which is a very catchy summer suited track. It seems like this is the only original track they have made so far but hope they make more of those sounding tracks in the future. They have also made some remixes, including Jackie Wilson & Kele. We are posting Au Revoir Simone's 'Only You Can [...]
Today we give you an exclusive interview with one of the great young hopes in Swedish electro – Stay Ali . They released their debut EP, "Vat:Auhlau", on Monsieur Adi's label Technofavrik just before the summer. We met up with Bård and Elias from the trio (unfortunately Johan couldn't make it) over a couple of beers. The interview lasted for two hours and we recorded it on a cell phone, which made editing hard but necessary work. Here's the interview after we boiled it down to the essentials. What music do [...]
SLOW MOTIONNNNN VIBESSSS FO' LIFE, MUUUFUCKA. DJ Screw did it right; showed us the promise land of the chopped and screwed, slow-mo vibes, and gave us a right speed for life. Swishahouse made the gangsta rap demons spill out from hell. Nowadays, we got the new-age dragged out goth madmen and women pitchshifting down so low, so slow we're literally napping at our laptops. The paper cups full of purple fluid that makes you sink into the floor are in all our hands. Fuck, can't... stop... nodding......

I was originally going to make this post about Williamsburg trio Au Revoir Simone but the more I listened to this remix I realized I had to give the credit where it's due, Aeroplane. Vito De Luca and Stephen Fasano are the Belgian DJ/Producer team that makes up Aeroplane and they have been topping the underground nu disco charts for quite some time. I posted their latest non-remix work We Can Fly recently and if you haven't heard that track scroll down a few post because it's an epic adventure that is certainly worth your time. [...]
Many of the sites I've featured in the "Other Stuff You Might Like" series have a common thread: excellent, impromptu concerts by established and upcoming musicians. We've looked at Luxury Wafers , Black Cab Sessions , They Shoot Music - Don't They , and NPR Music . (And I'm sure to get around to Daytrotter before too long...) Now, from France, we've got the excellent blog La Blogotheque, and its excellent Take-Away Shows (or, if you prefer, Les Concerts à Emporter ). The site's catalog of artists is truly amazing, as [...]
