‘Home Away From Home’ is the first single from Touch Tone , the new alter ego of Andrew Verner, better known to you lot as Binary staple Short Circuit . Whether this draws a line under his Short Circuit work and represents a new era for Mr. Verner or if this is just a side project we are yet to find out, we’ll have to bug him about it, but it does showcase a big new sound. A couple of years ago we referred to Short Circuit as RoboPop, with ‘Home Away From Home’ [...]
It’s almost for the release of Young Empire’s new EP, Wake All My Youth. In the meantime, grab the latest Short Circuit remix of “Enter Through the Sun” & Canada, don’t miss live on their national... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
From the glut of reMixes of Young Empires ’ ‘Enter Through The Sun’ we’ve been inundated with recently, Short Circuit ’s was actually the first I heard about, and the one I was most looking forward to hearing. It doesn’t disappoint either. With a melodic refrain that is pure B-Boy Electro injected into Short Circuit’s RoboPop the mix delivers a rich, thick synth backing and a Disco beat for the piercing, icy lead lines to bodypop all over. It totally changes the feel of the track, for the better. [...]
So here we are. After a year when the current wave of ElectroPop, Nu-Disco, SynthWave, Nu-Italo and Dreamwave all seemed to find a maturity, seemed to suddenly become a lot more confortable with themselves and their groove, we find ourselves with a nearly impossible job for picking the top twenty songs of the year, and a winner. To those we missed, or forgot, we’re sorry. We’ll be beating ourselves up about it for weeks to come as some awesome track from January slides back into our brain, but it’s time to stop worrying and just go [...]

The king of RoboPop™, Short Circuit , has just dropped a brand new free single. ‘After Burner’ is a companion peice, an epilogue to his ‘Late Night Drive’ EP and comes complete with three minute intro. After the intro slowly builds, layering lush synth sounds and building anticipation with a sense of urgency, the track proper feels as much a spiritual successor to ‘Let Go’ as it does to the ‘Late Night Drive’ EP. This is one of Short Circuit’s slickest productions to date, everything sits together nicely, the combination of growling bassline, 16-bit melodies [...]
LA Dreamwave innovator Short Circuit is here to send shivers down your spine with a track full of dread. Opening with the synthesizer equivalent of nails on a chalkboard, ‘Visitors’ assaults your senses on three fronts, growing electronics and spooky melodies and banshee lead lines. Amongst all the chills, though, is a damn cool track, the shuffling percussion in particular lends the track an ‘80’s funk. ♫ Short Circuit - Visitors Short Circuit’s ‘Late Night Drive’ EP, is out now on [...]
Apparat's soft, Coldplay-esque song, "Song of Los," has brought us one of the best music videos I've seen in a while. Admittedly, the concept isn't exactly original, i.e. a robot develops its human side from interacting with the world outside its lab. Actually, it's pretty much Short Circuit in short form, but, hey, it's leagues better than the other indie shit stinking up the place. Aside from the typical sequences of a robot learning how to communicate, witnessing violence, being dismembered, etc. we get to see our apparently female android poke a boob, get laid [...]

In the end, it all blends together for one awesome release; “Late Night Drive” explores all the possible [...]

The NBA draft went down last night and something unexpected happened. It appears one of two things is happening. Either the talent here in the US is shrinking or the international leagues are getting better. I could hardly pronounce four out of the first ten picks. I'm ecstatic that the Nuggets made a move in the right direction. They dumped the indecisive Felton and picked up old Coach Karl favorite Andre Miller. A more passive point-guard to Ty Lawson's move quick, shoot quick style of play. However, the Nuggets not only got their first pick (Morehead [...]
