French producer Michael Creange and WEKEED, that I discovered with their remix for Niki & The Dove, are back with another remix, this time for Electric Guest. They bring to "The Bait" a great electronic touch to this joyful song. ... Continue reading ’]]> text/html 2012-12-13T23:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4671677/story-of-the-running-wolf/
Reference the picture above, a wolf shooting neon pink lasers from its eyes. I don't think much more is required to prepare you for the electopop dance fury you will hear below. The LA duo Story of the Running Wolf (SOTRW) craft pristine retro-futuristic fun in the vein ofEmpire of the Sun or Duran Duran.

Here we go... 1. CHROMATICS - KILL FOR LOVE (Italians Do It Better) MP3: Chromatics - Kill for Love It sounds like it's of it's time yet instantly timeless, while using music videos and imagery to create an aesthetic that shines in it's possibility. It'll break your in half, but keep you optimistic the entire ride. A+++ stuff here, and Johnny Jewel's work ethic and dependability certainly helped put this at #1. 2.

Here is the final part of three where I revisit my tips for the year. If you've missed the others you'll find them here: Parts One // Two. Niki and the Dove - Facebook Niki and the Dove were the only band I picked in my tips that ended up featuring in the BBC Sound of 2012 , the latter inclusion meant the year started off well for the Swedish electro duo, their album Instinct [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-30T17:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4647569/fingerbanger-friday-hydrozoans-in-petri-dishes/
We all got a gang mentality. Republicans are fukking idiots. Democrats are fukking idiots. Conservatives are idiots and liberals are idiots. Anyone who makes up their mind before they hear the issue is a fukking fool. Everybody, nah, nah, nah, everybody is so busy wanting to be down with a gang! Im a conservative! Im a liberal! Im a conservative! Its bullshit! Be a fukking person. Listen. Let it swirl around your head. Then form your opinion. No normal decent person is one thing.

The crowned prince of that blissed out California sound, Goldroom , is back with a new song "Sweetness" featuring the oh-so-lovely vocals of Swedish twins Saint Lou Lou. Goldroom has been ruling the chillwave/nu-disco sound this year with cuts like "Fifteen" and "Angeles" and remixing peers like Gigamesh , Niki & The Dove, Poolside, and Penguin Prison . We're pretty big fans of his seasonal mixes too. Call it California Dance, call it Daytime Disco, just make sure you take a listen.

Nothing does it like a throwback. If you're a clubgoer, a festival fanatic, or over the age of 30, then the thought of hearing something that's out of the ordinary, especially because its initial release date is older than the age of Avicii and Madeon combined, should catch your attention. Originally released in 1983 by the the British band better known as New Order, this early rendition of electronica meets rock will without question bring a crowd to its feet. Here is an updated version remixed by none other than Vandalism. Cheers. -lev Blue [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-26T21:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4639120/fenses-radio-show-november-23-2012/
Alright, so I have a treat for you. Being that I spent Thanksgiving week on vacation in Vancouver, WA with my parents - yes, a full week - I was out of town for my normal Friday show. Rather than having Stuarto cover for me, as holidays aren't the best for extra shifts at the radio station, I put together a pre-recorded show. So I'm presenting that to you now, in full form. Here's the track so you can begin streaming, and below that is the setlist to enjoy while [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-23T16:33:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4635242/arcadia/
As many are saying, it appears that the vintage Mau5, the character and ingenius behind the head we once fell in love with has been making a gradual comeback. "Arcadia" is an upbeat progressive jam that is free from the industrial, live-show catered tracks we've been seeing from him. Go buy some shit, it's Black Friday ladies. Cheers. -lev Bonus: A year-old Goldroom track that's yet to be put to rest...]]> text/html 2012-11-21T16:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4632407/charli-xcx-dance-4-u-sinjin-hawke/

Labrador As predisposed as I am towards things Swedish, melancholic, and anthemic, it took me a little bit to warm to Jönköping's Mary Onettes because, well, their name is pretty awful; thankfully, their music is most definitely not. Their 2009 album Islands was a glorious thing , all Cure-meets-Bunnymen '80s romantic angst in stadium dress. And as happy as I'd have been to have more of the same, the band has other ideas. Their Love Forever EP released back in February [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-13T16:23:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4616678/niki-and-the-dove-touring-north-america-in-january-remixed/

Little Daylight have been on an absolute roll lately with a handful of delightful electro-pop remixes. These guys have really caught our attention reworking some of our favorite indie acts such as Niki & The Dove, Freelance Whales, and St. Lucia to name a few. Their most recent stroke of genius has come in the form of a drum heavy, tropical tinged remix of Passion Pit's Constant Conversations , off their summer smash album Gossamer . They've updated it with a speedier tempo than the original which carries you through nicely, along with some great [...]]]>
