It’s been a while since Pelski lay waste to the blog world (or blogosphere, if you must) with one of his illustrious pelski playlists – and, incidentally, a while since he’s nauseatingly referred to himself in the third person. This playlist is a bit of a mixed bag: old and new; some pleasant vocal soothers, big-kick house boomers, inventive remixes, Chirpy Baltimore re-edits, the obligatory electro bangers and wonky fidget... and even a touch of tech-house. Jesse Rose’s taken a while to knock up his long-awaited album, but it’s by [...]
…is what the gifted English girl Eleanor Jackson calls her exciting project, but in French then; La Roux . And it’s good, really good. She released her first single “Quicksand” last year on the French label Kitsuné . Great tune, check out the video directed of Kinga Burza (Kate Perry, The Teenagers, The Thrills, Ladyhawke): VIDEO La Roux - Quicksand (the video could not be embedded) The English newspaper The Guardian tells us that we should keep an eye on La Roux during 2009. And I can ensure [...]
Ovenpå endnu en travl uge og weekend, synes vi lige det blev tid til at smide en bunke tracks ud, helt præcist fem af slagsen, som vi ikke har haft plads til i vores blog-program gennem det sidste stykke tid. Vi har knyttet et par beskrivende ord til hver af de kunstnere der står bag de udvalgte tracks. Vi starter ud med en omgang ren nydelse for ørene. Den finske producerduo Komytea (Matti Heininen & Erkka Lempiäinen) har lavet et sandt mesterværk kaldet 9 . Tracket er meget progressivt og er yderst velproduceret, [...]

A really good line-up that is totally free if you RSVP! Head over here to RSVP for the event. I can only hope Heartsrevolution have improved as a band. I saw them play their first show at Hiro Ballroom and it was just a bit sloppy. Guns n Bombs will definitely be tearing it up with Beni and Classixx. See you there. Here is the mix too. Now Kitsune can be added to Scions onslaught of mixes from the likes of Franki Chan and LA Riots. Kitsune - Pioneer Scion Sampler 23
Beni seems have a much lower profile than he should. I dont know why, but he is very underated and seems to have a lot of talent. As you may already knpw, Beni is formerly of Riot in Belgium , who made some seriously pumped up electro tunes in 2007 (think La Musique for a starter...) Beni has since released his latest discoey house stomper 'My love sees you' a good while back on french label bigwigs, Kitsune . I do really like the original, a funky number, with slap bass, housey [...]
From Blah Blah Blah: "Filthy Dukes, the dance rock DJs have been at the forefront of the club scene for sometime as both DJs and promoters, propelling themselves from the grotty sticky floors of the Camden Bar Fly to the more pleasant surroundings of Fabric with their outrageous ability to effortlessly combine the best upcoming live and DJ talent, presenting the likes of Justice, Late of the Pier, Bloc Party alongside your Sindens, Boy 8 Bits and Erol Alkans…… and if that wasn’t enough they have now taken the Kill em All [...]
By now you've probably heard of Filthy Dukes. Remixes of their tunes are bouncing around all over the place. But they're also the founders of Fabric's legendary 'Kill Em All' night - proudly offering up the best-of-the-best in rocky electro noise, with the like of Justice, Erol and Chemical Brothers gracing their decks. Filthy Dukes started off as promoters, then DJs , and now a three-piece indie- electro band. Their current single This Rhythm featured on You Can Call Me Pelski a year ago in [...]
The Filthy Dukes have been with us since 2004 and those of you who understood the net before the blogs told us everything we needed to know, would have no doubt stumbled across a dance rock infused Filthy Dukes mixtape from time to time. The dance rock DJs have been at the forefront of the club scene for sometime as both DJs and promoters, propelling themselves from the grotty sticky floors of the Camden Bar Fly to the more pleasant [...]

My dear lovers, there are exceptions to all things, including, spreading a little Valentine's cheer, even for those like myself, who do not celebrate it. My gift to you comes in the form of the gorgeous and immense voice of the fiery English red-head, Elly Jackson and partner Ben Langmaid, who together, form English synth-pop duo, La Roux . Due for a March 2 release on Polydor , La Roux's upcoming track "In For the Kill", is perfection, as well as the video directed by Kinga Burza, produced by Sarah Tognazzi. Seemingly so simple, effortless, yet [...]

Altyrone Deno Brown - If You Love Me (mp3) Beni - My Love Sees You ( Classixx Remix) (mp3)
Beni is a new producer from belgium signed on kitsune. He does some kind of light fidget, that is more European in style. From what he has released recently, I like him. On the other hand, what Etienne de Crecy does has never, and will probably never be my type of thing. I don't like aggressive high pitch sounds, except in some cases (i.e. simian). But I still thought I could include his last remix of Beni's track My love sees you released on the official EP. Enjoy! Beni - My love sees you [...]
In October of 08 I stumbled across a few tracks from the Scion Sample CD volume 22, it was a Fools Gold Release, I then raided hypem for any tracks I could find from it. It seems that the SCION people have their finger on the pulse about who are hot musically, and then let the record labels do a collaboration for a release, free of course. The latest one is a mix by French powerhouses Kitsuné, and includes two Ted&Francis remixes and a Beni Remix, repping the Aussie pride. In recent times deckhead has been added to [...]
Hi again, similar to all the stuff I've been posting recently (Siriusmo, Treasure Fingers, etc.), here is another electro pop artist (this time a duo) with a retro touch: Classixx . The two producers from Los Angeles have been doing this for quite a while now and I've always enjoyed their tracks. Here are the two most recent ones. Guns n Bombs - Riddle of steel (Classixx version) Beni - My love sees you (Classixx remix) Here is the video for a song [...]
LA duo Classixx , have just released two new remixes for you listening pleasure. First we have a remix of ex Riot in Belgium 's Beni called "My Love Sees You". It's a nice chill track that reminds me of the 80's for some reason. I love it. The airy synths and relaxing vocals in this track makes for some easy listening. Next, Classixx has released their awesome interpretation of a song i posted a couple weeks back, "Riddle of Steel" by [...]
SCION is at it again with number 23 of their CD SAMPLER SERIES. This time it's French & Japanese combo boutique label KITSUNE's chance to shine and boy do they bring it! It's 11 tracks of pure goodness harnessing the combined power of electro, pop and french touch. It's a real masterpiece and I've enjoyed listening to this record from start to finish multiple times over. Below is all 11 tracks avail for download along with the descriptions the promo agency sent over for each. I hope you get as much a kick out of these as [...]
Photo Credit: Caesar Sebastian These tracks came straight from LA from the Young Americans duo, Classixx . These songs aren't banger, but who said they have to be in order to dance. The mixing is spot on and definitely worth a listen. For you CO readers, make sure to catch them the 20th in Engelwood. Won't want to miss it, or even better if you got the money and time, catch them along with every other great dj act at SXSW along with our friends Hey Champ (March 18-22). I included a bonus song that [...]
Six more weeks of winter for us. Alright, no more Katy Perry for a while. But you know what? I bet after you heard those tracks you loved it and you were like "FUCK SUNDTRAK!" Ya, put on that tough front, I know you're listening to Katy Perry right now. First track today is the Le Matos remix of Coeur De Pirate , as Canadian as you can get, both are out of Montreal. Listen to the original and you'll be quite a bit more amazed at what Le [...]
