Here's a little something for the earbuds while you're chillin at the office trying to get some work done. The song is "Cold Dust Girl" by Hey Champ , and I just can't get it out of my head. Is this on MTV? It should be. I always appreciate when bands embrace the beats, basslines, and synths of edm. Check out these official remixes for the full effect. Hey Champ - Cold Dust Girl (Yellow Fever ReFix) [...]
Okay, so, I mean, finally, I found something "new". Who woulda thought. Here's the fun and mildly drawn-out story: I work on the security team for SEE ( Student Entertainment Events ). I was working at the Lupe Fiasco show on campus in Ritchie Coliseum this past Friday, and basically from the moment I heard this band Hey Champ soundcheck with this awesome song "Cold Dust Girl," I have had it stuck in my head. I probably contributed at least 25 YouTube plays this weekend alone because you can only hear it on the internet as [...]
Photo by Cherie Roberts Quite a week lined up for us in Chicago. Tonight we have us The Twelves , in from Rio on a long overdue tour that graces Chicago for the Outdanced! party over at Sonotheque . And they'll be playing with Yello Fever and Derek Specs . If you're really in the know, you might have already seen the Twelves at Debonair last night doing a DJ set... But that's neither here nor there. I was secretly hoping for a Lolla spot this year, [...]

Hi everybody, comme vous l'avez sans doute constaté, je n'ai pas été très actif ces derniers temps. J'ai une bonne excuse. En effet, je me suis, par un malheureux/heureux (à voir) concours de circonstances, retrouvé piégé dans une faille spatio-temporelle. Récit d'une épopée dans les méandres du temps. Tout commença Mercredi dernier. Je venais de poster mon article, quand tout à coup, et je ne sais pas pourquoi, l'idée m'est venue d'aller faire un tour sur me myspace des We Are Terrorists . A peine la page ouverte et le player lancé, je me fait aspirer par [...]
Sorry about the lack of posts readers, life has been a bit crazy lately. Anyway, here are the tunes that have kept me going in these past couple of weeks. Hey Champ is a Chicago band that has been recently signed to Lupe Fiasco's record label 1st and 15th. Cold Dust Girl is definitely one of the best pop songs I've heard all year, so I recommend a listen. Also, the 80Kidz remix is incredible. If you caught the Todd Edwards [...]
(photo via booooooom ) I stand by my statement that bloggers are the new A&R reps for the digital age. With Chicago disco-rockers Hey Champ now officially signed and on tour with Lupe Fiasco's record label, 1st &15th , all I have left to say is, "We told you so" . Hey Champ sent over their newest mix titled Jet Set and some fresh from the studio remixes. Jet Set stylistically follows suit with their other Hey Champ DJs material, with [...]
Trumpdisco have been stirring up quite a bit of noise with each new track they release. They are yet another Australian group with a great interesting sound. I'm really digging their remixes. They do a great job of chopping the songs up and changing them just enough to make it interesting and fun, but at the same time keeping the original intact. That's something I'm always looking for in a remix. Originals are also very cool. These guys are certainly someone I would keep an eye out for. I'm expecting big things from Trumpdisco ! Here's their latest. [...]
Sweaty dance floor gems like those found on Chicago-bred The Prairie Cartel 's first works, the two EPs titled affectionately EP1 and EP2 , aren't so dime-a-dozen anymore. Where most acts would be fine with making banal pieces that get kids dancing, The Prairie Cartel know that behind the beat, the driving guitars and basslines and the panting, riot-inducing vocals, there is a sort of punk ethos of tearing down the usual conceptions people have of what it means to really love disco. They weren't alive probably when there was that "disco sucks" backlash, but if [...]
Got some fresh stuff from Hey Champ . Their new mixtape, tour dates and, as promised, the 80Kidz remix of "Cold Dust Girl" just came in. I was a little surprised to get all these goodies in one email, because as you can see they're on tour right now. I can appreciate people sending me stuff that they've worked hard on, but I can appreciate people sending sending me stuff that they've worked hard on WHILE working hard on touring, a whole lot more. It's like, after a night of DJing or partying, the last thing I [...]
Justice - A Cross The Universe - Trailer from INDUSTREATE on Vimeo . My initial reaction when I heard Justice planned to grace Chicago with a New Year's Eve party to end all, was surprise. Justice has come through Chicago before, but on the biggest party night of the year? Wow. The promoters deserve a thousand gold stars. Don't panic if you live outside Chicago, because we are happy to announce that we are part of Industreate's JUSTICE FOR ALL contest . [...]
Only a couple of nights after Beck opened the brand new Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles, Lupe Fiasco graced our mortal souls for a spectacular, sold out show. This was my fifth time seeing Lupe (so my expectations weren't too high on seeing something new and spectacular), but something was different about this show. The way he controlled the stage was something he lacked the last time I saw one of HIS shows (the others were Lollapalooza '07 and '08, and the GITD tour). He has always had tremendous stage presence and energy, but he had a sense of [...]
( Original photography via Clayton Hauk ) (Edit via Me ) I've actually been hanging on to this Yello Fever remix for a while now, but I felt it was appropriate to give Everyoneisfamous some exclusivity for a minute. For those of you who aren't familiar with Yello Fever, it's a Chicago DJ/ producer collective consisting of Skyler , Kid Color and Jobot . If you've been out in Chicago in the past month, there's a pretty good chance you've caught one of their shows, maybe without [...]

Hello once again Recommender-lings. I have three tidy little beauties listed for you today, two of which have more of an 80's keyboard-slant than is probably healthy, but we persevere. You really never realised just how much impact Duran Duran would have back then did you eh!? Is it a good thing though? Only one way to find out - read on... HEY CHAMP This Chicago 3-piece are all echoing-guitar, drifting keyboards and upbeat 80's-influenced pop. Just resting the correct side of European pop music, with chromed-out lyrics [...]

Well, so much for doing work. I managed to read through a dissertation tonight while watching the Red Sox lose in painful fashion to the Devil Rays (not going to just call them 'the Rays;' shame on them for bowing to pressure from uptight religious groups/ not completely changing the name ). So, the Devil Rays are now champs, which segues nicely into the band I've been listening to nonstop for the past two days, Chicago's own Hey Champ . They make extreeemely catchy synth pop and just got signed to Lupe Fiasco 's 1st [...]
