Nombreux sont les groupes qu'ont peut qualifier de « crystal castles copycat » comme les tueurs en séries. Vous savez, les gens qui imitent par la suite le célèbre tueur dont ils sont totalement fanatiques. Dans le cas de crystal castles on peut penser à toute cette vague de pseudo groupes de jeunes composés d'un garçon et d'un fille, dans un style indie-punk tout à fait typique. Le mec étant l'espèce de tête pensante du groupe, musicien à ses heures perdues et informatitien sur les bords, la fille sans aucun talent à priori venant calé son [...]

The kids want Electro-Punk! And that's what they'll get from new Belgian group TEX TAIWAN . In the footsteps of acts such as KAP BAMBINO & CRYSTAL CASTLES comes another sonic assault of scream-fuckery & synthtopia. An epic remix from YOU LOVE HER COZ SHE'S DEAD shows that thoughtful use of pitch correcting software can sometimes give a track that little extra sparkle. <3 The Album hits the shelves on June 21st care of [...]

Okay, my last post for the day focusses on some younger and new talent trying to get there stuff out there. First up are two youngsters who go by the name " Tex Taiwan " they started somewhere 2008 and are finally coming with their very first album. Their music style falls in line with bands as Crystal Castles and Kap Bambino. Damaged Hearts is the name of this album that will be released digitaly the 21st June, but first there will be two single releases: 'Labyrinth' plus YLHCSD remix released on the 10th May & 'Haphazard' plus Aerotronic [...]

So I loved Aerotronic's remix of these guys, and that made me curious. And after some listening, I must say Tex Taiwan are fucking kick-ass awesome! And they're Belgian, double the awesome! Ok, enjoy their punk electro! Tex Taiwan - Time Machine (Mediafire) Tex Taiwan - Burial XI (Mediafire) Tex Taiwan - E E Erase (Mediafire) Tex Taiwan - Floppy Disks (Mediafire) Tex Taiwan - Magnify (Mediafire)

Aerotronic is another producing/dj duo from Belgium. When they started, they mailed me some of their first productions, I'll have to say, ... I wasn't a big fan of their first productions, they had some stuff missing. Now, some time later I checked back at these guys and I have to admit they improved a lot. Especially their latest remixes are quality stuff. And I'm not the only one who noticed, they played at this years suikerrock festival and have a lot of good gigs coming up. I contacted the guys and they linked me up with their latest remix [...]

Tex Taiwan (Pieter Carels/Evelien Van Steenbergen) is een jong, nieuw, Belgisch electropunk duo. Ze zijn van start gegaan in maart dit jaar en hebben sindsdien zo'n 14 nummers geschreven, alle met een zeer verschillende "sound". Alle nummers zijn 8-bit beïnvloed, maar ze zien zichzelf niet zo als een chiptune band. Hun doel is electronische muziek en rock samen te brengen in een energieke mix. Op hun myspace ( http://www.myspace.com/textaiw an) kan je nog drie andere nummers beluisteren. Ik vind deze nummers toch geslaagd en vind het wat Vive la fête achtig, niet meteen om op feestjes te draaien, maar [...]
