CHECK OUT THE NEW LAYOUT<3
"At the height of our disembodied digital era, two disguised femme-bots descend to deliver their funkpunk message to undiscerning humanoids inclined to the sounds of artful proto punk, exuberant electro-pop and new wave expressionism..." London based electro-punk duo Robots in Disguise are one of my fave fave fave bands, so much so that I can't believe [...]
Dave Gahan, of Depeche Mode fame, has just released the next batch of remixes from his single "Kingdom" off of the album "Hourglass". Heavy hitters Digitalism and Booka Shade are on board as well. Digitalism's remix is distorted and moody, while Booka's remix is not quite typical of them but is still a really pleasant [...]
Health (from LA) sounds like a late sixties garage-psychedelia band combined with the angsty noise of the Velvet Underground. If you enjoy shroom trips in dark forests where visions of rainbow colored snakes slither through trees, then you'll be enraptured by Health's perfect mixture of pscychedelia and modern alternative sounds. Interestingly they put three remixes [...]
"Eutow" by Autechre has long been one of my absolute favorite songs of all time. This song, along with a couple of other classics such as "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin, represents a time period in which WARP records was at the top of its game. They are still awesome now, but in the early [...]
I think DJ B.Cause is pretty much the shit. Usually edits of old school songs come off sounding really corny or like 1995 in a bad way. Not this shit,... it's tight like who knows what. I could only think of really crass things to compare that to. It's pretty difficult to find a good [...]
Fans of Midnight Juggernauts and Cut Copy's disco-rock beats, sweeping synths, Beatle-esque harmonies, vocoders and laser beams: we need to talk about Electric Light Orchestra. And not the ELO who brought you "Evil Woman" or even "Don't Bring Me Down", but specifically their hugely influential and yet under-the-radar 1981 synth-heavy experimental space-disco/rock concept album, "Time." [...]
Music is a time machine. It puts events, things, and feelings in a tangible vessel. Today the Proustian madeline is working its devastating magic on me with this band. We went to a Blonde Redhead concert at the Knitting Factory. It was probably 1996. Ian Svenonious was there too I think. We went backstage. It made [...]
Gucci Soundsytem might be known to a lot of you as the guys that brought you the awesome remix of Tiefschwarz's "Wait and See". This joint, "Acarpenter", is a bit different. Let's call it minimal disco. This record sounds like Moroder teamed up with (insert something stupid here) and made a record in this modern [...]

Hello friends. I have some help this week as I am busy making my apartment inhabitable for a human baby. First up is Faux Rock's rendition of Digitalism. You may remember him from his remix of the Toxic Avenger's "Superheroes". This one does not disappoint either. Your own personal rave right inside of your headphones. MP3: "FCKING DIGITALISM (Faux Rock Remix)" - Digitalism [...]
I think I'm in love. Pocketknife and Cousin Cole are teaming up as "Flagrant Fowl." They're taking classic songs by Nico, Bruce Springsteen, Iron & Wine and others. I think what I like most about the remixes, from what I've heard, is that they are gentle like the originals. They just add a little more effervescence and modernity to the tracks that somehow makes them a little more tranquil. I'm really quite sad that these aren't released yet, but a blog post on Pocketknife's myspace says that they should be released by the end of September on vinyl and [...]
Hybrids Kids was a 'compilation' released on Cherry Red Records in 1979. It was supposedly a collection of songs made by a number of bands from Peabody, Kansas. However, In actuality all the songs on the album were created by British keyboardist Morgan Fisher , who was best known for his time spent in glam rock band Mott The Hoople . "Recorded while Fisher was still in Mott, Hybrid Kids is an affectionate demolition job of pop classics". And that it is! Fantastically experiment and almost whimsical covers of [...]
Every couple of years or so someone does a bootleg of "Born Slippy, NUXX" by Underworld. The original, a massive anthem, was so infectious that it topped the UK charts. This bootleg, done by DJ Joe K from Brazil, takes the original and gives it an electro-house twist. MP3: "Born Slippy (Joe K Remix)" - Underworld Buy this at Juno. Buy the Born Slippy, NUXX cd single from Amazon. - Johnatron
Finally, finally, finally Rex the Dog has struck again after much to long. Now, Rex the Dog (aka Jake Williams, aka JX , early 90's euro-dance sensation) has been picked up by the fabulous Kitsune. His signature throwback sound never ever disappoints. I know this has been posted elsewhere, but noone else seems to have the original up. MP3: "Circulate" - Rex The Dog - Johnatron
Holy shit it's a band with a redhead. Yeeesss!!! I'm glad to see a redhead breaking out of the usual and UNFAIRLY type-casted nerd roles (example; Adventures in Babysitting). All hail Wisconsin from which The Glamour come from. Their songs have appeared around some blogs the past 2007, but I think they deserve to be highlighted here for their exceptional taste in zippy synth and breakbeats. It seems they've been touring and they recently went to LA. Their LA pics are super dope... including keg stands, disco lights and did I mention a redhead. They are [...]
There are some real gems in this past Monday's Fluo -as-translated-by-a-robot. The post is called "They Is Always The Same Gestures." Oh, is they? pic : rita vogt "I révé too much of the scénari of horror where the headstocks take life, I always wondered what that would have been the monstrous one if one had put a little artificial intelligence Warp in cranium of the TLC. Mondkopf tries the blow and the headstocks of ice become the true comforting sisters [...]
These might not live up to the Cousin Cole edit, but maybe they do. You decide. MP3: "Crank Dat Push It (Johnatron Edit)" - Soulja Boy, Salt, and Pepa MP3:"Crank Dat + The Cat (Johnatron Edit)" - Soulja Boy and Dusty Kid Buy souljaboytellem.com at Amazon. Buy "The Cat" by Dusty Kid at Beatport. Buy "Hot, Cool & Vicious" by Salt and Pepa at Amazon. - Johnatron
Hi, I'm Baron von Luxxury. I'm gonna be like Joan Rivers to Disaster's Johnny Carson and do the "New Wave Tuesday" column every other week, which will be syndicated on The Workout , MissingToof and BigStereo . Try all three! Dusseldorf's Propaganda is probably my favorite band from the 80's. Sounding a bit like a Nico-fronted Kraftwerk in an Autobahn collision with ABBA, they created a nearly perfect blend of synthpop, disco and sturm und drang. Their dark, robotic songs were given a larger than life sheen thanks to the lush, wittily [...]
