The Wooden Sky remind me of a less poppy, and possibly more talented, version of The Fray. The band is comprised of four dudes out of Canada with a penchant for truly wholesome music, the brand of music that I think the "industry" is lacking these days. From start to finish their newest album, If I Don't Come Home You'll Be Gone , is a perfectly balanced blend of on-point vocals atop hearty guitars, pianos and strings. Pretty much everything one would look for when digging into the "chillacious indie" realm. In [...]
We've been pretty busy! We're psyched to announce two showcases going on during CMJ. First up we've teamed up with our friends at The Culture of Me and Sheena Beaston . Half the roster will be throwing a big dance party right after a band showcase at Greenpoint's Europa. You'll find the Subdrive crew Viking , VDRK , Terror Dactel , Mr Vega , and others spinning that night. Then, literally two days later, we've got the CMJ edition of HEAT at N 4th Bar! We've [...]
(via Erin Keefe ) Oh my God. I can't tell you how hard this event is going to rock your asses. First off, you have Culture Culture ( Diamonds + OCD Automatic + Double Drop ), who just happen to be some of Milwaukee's hottest DJs. Then you have Bag Raiders ... Fucking Bag Raiders! In Wisconsin! Not to mention the city in Wisconsin that was formerly dubbed the nation's #1 party school; MADISON. So yeah, you could say that this is most definitely the place you'll want to be [...]
image: ballon via flickr I'm eagerly awaiting a full-length Chateau Marmont album in the near future especially after the killer Solar Apex EP released last year. Speaking of new, Chateau Marmont along with fellow parisians the Teenagers, Koko Von Napoo, and Housse de Racket teamed up with Jean Touitou of A.P.C. to make some neat band t-shirts. Buy them here . To refresh your memory, Chateau Marmont did a stellar remix of Midnight Juggernauts which you can listen to here and this next [...]
Big apologies to OCD Automatic ! He sent me "I Know" with ample time to get it out for his Chicago show with Diamonds and Shadowdancer, but I simply forgot. Better late than never though right? Right. So yeah, here we have a WI native who just happens to produce some pretty nice feel-good electro, aka a win/ win situation for me given the fact that I'm from WI and I love feel-good electro. "I Know" features an 80's vibe with a sort of grungy nu-rave bass-line. Win/ win/ win/ win? Yes, indeed. OCD Automatic [...]
Whitney Houston released I wanna dance with somebody and had everyone moving. OCD Automatic remixed the track and has everyone grooving. The track is the kind of pulsating electro that everyone can appreciate. If your a DJ it should be in your set, if your dancer it should be making you move and if your me it been one of your most played tracks in iTunes for quite some time. It's a shame this remix didn't get bigger because i feel it is deserving of more praise than it ever received. Yours, StSH P.S [...]
original photography: Jeff of The Culture of Me OCD Automatic is a dj, promoter, and all-time party man from Madison, Wisconsin. You may have heard of his Whitney Houston remix over on BigStereo . He was in New York for a little and played a few gigs, including the one you're about to hear. Recorded live in a wall-shifting art gallery tucked away in a shady non-descript street in Manhattan, OCD absolutely killed it and got the kids going crazy. Get transported to Wisconsin [...]
Not only will OCD Automatic be playing alongside Flosstradamus at the Forward Music Festival later on this month, but he has also remixed one of the greatest classics of all time, and turned it into something that will be making everyone move on the dance floor in no time. This track is really good, it's got a sing-a-long quality as well as a nice bass line for all of the lovers of the harder stuff. Below from OCD Automatic , you can find Whitney Houston's I [...]

Chelsea never saw it coming. Though far away from anything close to civilization (aside from storage facilities, taxi repair shops and seafood distributors), the kids over at Famous Friends relied upon their clout (and they have much of that) to get the partiers to come to their DIY party this past Saturday. And boy did they come in droves. We ended up working the door for the first hour or so and judging by how the turn-out was just for that short period of time, well, mission accomplished. Killer sets from Bradley D [...]
"I Wanna Dance With Somebody" always makes me wanna get super gay and take off my shirt and dance with my hands in the air. It's a weakness. OCD Automatic exploits this weakness. When I hear this played out I'm gonna embarrass myself sober.

If you didn't download it then you can still download it now.

Drawing by Dirty D Asher Diamonds of The Glamour brings us the next instalment of our 'artist presents' series - this time hyping up OCD Automatic : I met OCD Automatic over a year ago and since then he has become one of my closest partners in crime.
