CHANGE . Art by ChangeTheThought . Well well well. Last week was pretty fun, eh? DJ Mehdi, Local Hero and Beats all wrapped up into one night at Deonair. Some Flossy-D and Yello Fever going on last Wednesday. Some Cut Copy and Presets, too. All parties pretty much at capacity, Chicago, you definitely impressed me this week. I don't know what got into y'all, but I'm sure a great deal of you were hurting the past few mornings. Who saw Kid Sister get on the mic the other night at the Abbey Pub? Who saw VHS [...]

Here I was thinking that the whole distortion-electro had died altogether! But alas no, I can still swoon for something with amped up distortion, overdrive and a hell of a lot of kick. Namely I've been watching the Jonas and Francois directed commercial for Nike's Windbreaker series, which of course has a monster soundtrack courtesy of Teenage Bad Girl . Fuck it's nasty. To celebrate, here's another mega crunchy jam that I'm currently [...]

Friday: Hello! It will be a short one today. I'm in a hurry meeting some friends at school in a quarter. I've just picked up my parts, putt them together and manage my self to get up from the bed. After the first school week I'm totally exhausted. But it will change. Think I'm just a little of my chains after the summer - Thank God it's Friday! Soft and beautiful from Jupiter, Paris, France Jupiter - Starlighter [...]

Go home with your mother! This is one of the slickest hottest things that came between my teeth the last 28days! Whatever your neighbour is screaming through the backyard at you to make you switch off the black strobe and put the needle off that record: you would be more street and gang than ever before, if you ignore that bstrd and start a dripping wet dance-lesson with your chick and kids!!! And to be the loosest stepfather on the planet: Drop Calling In Sick and Shitdisco a "Holla!", a "You do, yes guys, [...]

Bonjour. En cette belle journée ensoleillée (hé oui 32° ici : P), pour le post, petit changement ! J'ai vu que sur Electrocasts on appliquait pas assez le mode "post ou je balance tout ce que j'ai sur iTunes sans commentaire"... C'est pour ça que j'innove, et décide de mettre en place ce genre de post (rébélion). Donc ce soir, ça sera post en vrac avec tout ce qui tourne le plus en ce moment, et les demandes diverses des uns et des autres. Enjoy It ! Santogold - Creator (Cheewy [...]

Our buddies from down under, Calling In Sick , recently put out their newest track, a remix of a Heartache & Cujo collab (found on Electrorash ). You can see our original post of their Midfield General remix and original work we posted perviously here . This newest track is an electro/hip-hop marriage that would get a paraplegic off their ass and will be released on US based OMG Recordings . Heartache & Cujo - What Does It Mean (Calling In [...]

On sait peut de choses sur Calling In Sick si ce n'est qu'ils viennent du Commonwealth d'Australie (encore ! ) et que ce sont 2 jeunes qui s'efforcent de faire du bon son pour faire dancer les gens ! Du son bien péchu aux alures de jeux vidéos Calling In Sick - Ninja Gaiden Calling In Sick - What [...]

Before I start this post, I know that I have jumped on the bandwagon late, but I couldn't contain my exciting of seeing the boys finally perform live. The month was April, and my body was telling me that I have been going to hard, attending too many festivals, and going out way too much so one Saturday night I decided to stay in and update my music collection. After hours of downloads and blog reading, somehow I stumbled across yet another remix of Bag Raiders epic track Fun Punch. I reluctantly downloaded it because of the comical [...]

As promised, we will continue to post 1-2 artists a week that we feel aren't getting enough attention in the blog world (or in general). This week, I wanted to take this time to put the spotlight on two Aussies (aka Calling In Sick ) who have mastered the art of the remix, along with some sick originals. These guys seem to fit right in to the current (extremely successful) Australian music scene, which seems to stress having a good time making music over blatant self promotion and pointless seriousness. The guys just had their 1st live show this past [...]

Couple of boys from down under commin' up in the electro scene by the name of Calling in Sick . Personally I love the Midfield Generals remix, electric guitar synths. Along with that you'll find a stellar remix of Bag Raiders and an original track from them. The official video for Fun Punch is after the break, Go-Go Power Rangers!

My beloved Sydney electro duo Calling in Sick have brought out the goods, once again. Ever since I was told there was a 'Fun Punch' remix in the works a little while ago my little heart jumped. You all should remember the original, made by the infamous Bag Raiders ; without doubt it was one of the biggest tunes of 2007. A few remixes have been churned out (I'm talking about ZZZ and Bag Raider's own remix in particular) but the Calling in Sick boys managed to cope with the pressure and bring out their own version, [...]

I have been listening to a lot of albums over the last month so my knowledge of remixes and dance music has slightly fallen behind. Luckily I was still able to gather a few very special tracks for the next instalment of A Derogatory Playlist. A Derogatory Playlist PT V - Easter Egg Special Download; 1. The Ting Tings - Great DJ (Calvin Harris Remix) 2. Settlefish - Summerdrip (Amari Night Members Club Rmx) [...]

Why are there so many big things in Australia? 160 of them. Your dick isn't one of them. The big banana, the big merino, the big prawn, the big pinapple, the big avocade, the big sundial, the big gumboot, the big guitar, the big fucking everything. I think we've thoroughly asserted our authority in the domain of big things. Steve went to the Big Day Out. He's big. And very nice. The next big thing is unquestionably The Gameboys. Hugely magnanimously and overwhelmingly large with fame, fortune, bitches, caviar and champagne, palm fronds, little men in nappies feeding them grapes [...]
and I'll probably continue to do so in the next two weeks, because my exams are ahead and I have to spend my time studying rather than looking up stuff for your listening pleasure. Even though I prefer the latter, I still want to keep on going to university, so I won't be posting that much. So I've done a somewhat big mix for you, consisting of something old, something new, something that has

These posts don't come around too often, the sort of ones that if you miss them your missing something huge. Not the most original sound but these are two bangers that will burn long and sweet. Not bad for a group that has only been producing for just over a month. Already apparently copping homage from peeps like The Bag Raiders, out of Sydney I'm happy to bring you; Calling in Sick.
