Outside their university's classroom walls, after the textbooks had been closed for the night, a small group of students would come together for late-night dance parties. In the ceremonial musk of their college house basement, the sounds of Miles Davis and Alice Coltrane faded into the beats of Daft Punk and Michael Jackson. As their friendships and passion for 4-on-the-floor house beats grew, those parties morphed into the dance band known today as My Dear Disco. Enjoy
Lollapalooza is one of the biggest music festivals of the summer, but with 100-plus acts on the lineup, not everyone hitting the stage has the name-recognition of a Green Day or a Lady Gaga. In this two-part feature, PopMatters follows one band as it prepares for its first gig at an event that is expected to draw almost 100,000 excited music fans. Dance Think My Dear Disco first formed as a two-piece back in 2006. Originally a computer-based project for Tyler Duncan, the group began to expand when his University of Michigan School of Music classmate Bob [...]

How many of you have ever heard of a band called My Dear Disco? I first discovered them when searching for remixes of Kanye West's Love Lockdown last year. Kanye West - Love Lockdown (My Dear Disco Remix) [click to download] I discovered they also had an album, but I decided not to buy at that time, a decision I now regret. They didn't really come back into my life until several weeks ago when [...]
Seattle's a pretty stubborn crowd. It's hard enough to get them to show interest, let alone dance along to a non-local band. Somehow, My Dear Disco pulled it off. click to enlarge If you missed My Dear Disco last night at the High Dive, you missed Tuesday night's diamond-in-the-rough performance. These scrappy, fine folks pulled out a solid set or electro-rock tunes [...]

Todd the God. Who is that? Todd Edwards, the man is the God in the house music world. Actually, it's possible that he's influenced more than just house music, as he was pitching vocals on tracks like Daft Punk's "Face to Face" long before acts like Burial and Kanye ever came along. His influence is [...]
Ann Arbor, Michigan's My Dear Disco was handpicked by Todd Edwards to remix his new single I Might Be .

Having also remixed songs "Love Lockdown" by Kanye West and "Ulysses" by Franz Ferdinand, their remixes [...]
I love this time of the year. Although, it feels like Winter still has a firm grip on Spring, today is scheduled to be sunny and a high in the 60's. Who am I to argue with that? Opening day at Coors Field is going to be electric and exactly what I need. This time of the year intersects with the NBA playoffs and the NHL playoffs, and we as residents of Denver have a lot to be excited about. The Nuggets fought off those pesky Kobe-less Lakers last night and the Avs have squeaked out an [...]
Todd Edwards is a legend in these parts, co-producer and singer on Daft Punk's 'Face to Face' from the album Discovery (song reached no.1 in 2004) and remixer of Justice, Surkin & Klaxons but more commonly known as the Godfather of UK Garage. He has new material out soon, but to keep you moist the Scion Sampler series has released his single 'I Might Be' with remixes from MJ Cole, Feadz, Joy Orbison and these guys - My Dear Disco . Todd found these guys after seeing the band live and [...]
Sinister, smooth, but still very very dangerous, the new remix of the upcoming Todd Edwards Scion A/V-released single "I Might Be" from the kids in My Dear Disco, is just as much fun as any four on the floor fun...
The Ann, Arbor Michigan band My Dear Disco was hand picked by Todd Edwards (a collaborator on Daft Punk's Discovery album leading to a #1 Billboard Club Charter with the track "Face To Face") to remix his new track "I Might Be." The band took Todd Edwards' track and added their famous glitchy club [...]
Scion must have read my mind, they used to send out these giant packs of remixes, say 15-20 of them all brilliant just too much to devour in one sitting though! The latest is a Todd Edwards lick 'I might be' and has just a staple diet of 4 remixes and the original. Todd himself is an interesting character, he's an old school house producer, not your usual 2k10 kinda dude sampling daffy duck but finding real meaning behind the music and an innovator too. He uses things like layered vocals and melodies [...]
Free-sies! Who can resist? Especially when mastered by Feadz, Joy Orbison, MJ Cole, and My Dear Disco. All of them throwing down their take on Todd Edwards, "I Might Be". Thanks to Ed... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Den sidste uge har været lidt stille og det skyldes egentlig blot, at iTunes-biblioteket har stået ret stille. Der har ganske enkelt ikke været ret meget musik, som har været værd at skrive om. Til gengæld tikkede der en mail ind i går aftes fra Scion Audio/Visual , som havde godt nyt. Vedhæftet var den længe ventede I Might Be EP , fra Todd Edwards , som vi har ventet på siden starten af året. Personligt, blev der her på Data Sapiens første gang stiftet bekendskab med Todd Edwards tilbage i [...]

The Twelves finally broke through into our sunny climes recently with their Essential [...]
