Sorry about the absence, it's been a long crazy week. Will be in recovery mode for a while yet! Just going to whiz through this. I'm quite mortified to discover our deathstrobe email has mysteriously died in the ass, sincere apologies to those who sent stuff that bounced back. For now pretty please resend label submissions to deathstrobe(at)gmail.com and we'll do some listening. Sorry sorry sorry! Just got this new Messengers Re-Edits record last week, it's dynamite! The A is a furnace-like funky jam, complete with dangerously obese bass and bitch slapping [...]

He is one fourth of the totally "disco" disco band The Swiss . He is the touring bassist for Mr. Steele and his Empire of the Sun . And he is responsible for one majorly catchy chilled out track in Millionaire [...]
For most successful bands, all of its member need to be present to truly make the magic happen - Imagine what could have been if Hall left Oates... But in the case of Empire of the Sun , a vanishing partner is something to be shrugged off. Per NME , frontman Luke Steele has revealed that bandmate Nick Littlemore hasn't been in contact for five months. In fact, his other half isn't even sure where he may be at. "He disappeared about five months ago and I haven't really heard [...]

On March 29th, 2009 this is what the Schengen will look like with the full implementaion if Switzerland's inclusion. Now you can roam all of Western Europe (excluding the UK and Ireleand, because they have an agreement on their own). Romania and Bulgaria are in the process of getting in by 2011.

Most likely you've heard of boys noize (aka Alexander Ridha). There's been quite a buzz surrounding him. A friend of mine (John) can't get enough B.N. so I thought I'd do my part (So what if B.N's been blogged to death). His debut, Oi Oi Oi , came out in 2007 but his been putting out singles since 2004. Here's a vid for boys noize's & down . I feel like Electro, in very general terms, has gone in two directions. The first is more disco and poppy [...]

(photo via MarcG in Winter ) College radio, for me, is a mixed bag. I try and take the good to be found with the bad, the painfully obscure with the indie Top 40, the idealists who believe that having an eclectic palette is enough to make someone bite and the DJs whose time is spent napping for 40 minute at a time. Larytta - Ya-Ya-Ya (320 kbps) This track by Swiss laptop duo Larytta is my favorite thing to come out of the [...]

Lethal Bizzle, JME, Skepta, Wiley, Ghetto, Klashnekoff, Roll Deep, Bigz, Bashy, Sway, Pyrelli…the list does go on. Believe this mixtape is big, if this type of music is your bag. Also it's so much of a mixtape, more of a tape, well, a CD. It's just the full tracks collected and sequenced – [...]
