Old mate Frames on a wicked flip of Lancelot's upcoming single Blowing up the internet x

Back in rotation with a touch of disco-revivalism: It's taken a while, and few (literal) stumbles along the way, but Mr Sparrow is back for 2012 x Mandu

Rodeoclash are a Melbourne-based "electro country" 3 piece. A new genre that actually works quite well. They've just released an EP which you can listen to their their Youtube page, my highlight was Living In A Hotel. It's like a lo-fi remix of the soundtrack to an imaginary western. The rest are dark, spacious and sloooow. Check it out.

New on Russ Chimes' label UNO MAS is this release from 'mystery man' Celsius (you'll work out who it is if you dig around). Check Falling Arrows, a rapid-fire, Chicago-tipping house with an irrepressible, 'fuck you and put your hands up now thanks' break. All the hot news from Russell The Chime on Electrorash, official online media partner of Russ Chimes Industries Pty Ltd. x Mandu

First track from Sydney-based bro Lancelot's upcoming EP release "We Can Dance" - coming soon on Binary. French Express giving it heaps of mad/sweet props, so worth a listen we say: -Mandu

John Talabot's album "ƒin" has been getting an absolute thrashing since I got my hands on it a little over a week ago. I'll also be seeing him at Laneway on Saturday. But there is no such thing as too much Talabot so I'll be at this on Friday night. Good times.

This Saturday Feb 4th Vice and music streaming service Rdio are taking over Bondi's Beach Road Hotel and cramming it full of bands including Das Racist, Canyons, Alpine, Collarbones and Jonti with DJ sets from Twin Shadow & Austra. Better yet it's a free gig - you just need to win one of the 300 double passes, which also give you a free 7-day trial on Rdio. I would totally be there if I wasn't going to be going hard in the paint to Twin Shadow at Laneway Melbourne. That's a thing, yeah? [...]

Melbourne producer Cosmo Black pours a non-trademarked, glass-and-a-half of full cream dairy remix onto this, the chocolate anthem of our time: Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight (Cosmo Black Remix) by Cosmo Black Errybody on the airdrums! -Mandu

A not really new, actually track from Blood Diamonds that tickled me so lovingly, I just had to post it up. Blood Diamonds - Grins This Canadian fella has been a little bit quiet through the second half of 2011, but this was a timely little reminder of why we love BD's erratic interpretation of dreamwave's standard tropes. More Blood Diamonds here. Also - what a dumbo for thinking Google would rank a DIY electronic act over the might of a Leo DiCaprio star vehicle, [...]

A sad day... from Greg Acid Girls: Jamie and I are playing our last show tonight, and we uploaded this album which consists of songs most of you have probably not heard, mostly. I would appreciate it if you blogged it or whatever if you're into it, just cos I really like a lot of these songs and think they deserve to be heard. There is a track which was written in 2006 and is the first song I ever finished in Ableton, and the most recent one was finished just a month or [...]

A fellow from Bordeaux, France, who is "inspired by US Hip-Hop". His first EP, called No Future, is out on BeBup music shortly.. the title track is an absolute growler, kicking in arrogantly at about the 2:00 minute mark below. No future ep minimix by ROMA MUSIC He's also flipped this crunchy garage dubstep track called "It's Okay To Die Young".... just enough bizarre trills and whistles to keep it out of [...]

Two members of spontaneously combusted youth group Operator Please are back in the saddle creating carefree electronic music with a slight nod to 802s radio pop: Colour Coding - Perfect by Cosine Records More Colour Coding soon

Poor old Softlightes, looks like Modular wasn't too amped on their new record. But the good news for you and me (but not you) is that the San Diego twee-popsters aren't taking this slap to the crotch lying down - they're going guerilla. They're printing out flyers and dropping them in the school stairwell. They're sticker-bombing the local Starbucks. They're hiring a van and painting SOFTLIGHTES on the side panels and driving around densely populated strips of San Diego. They're making a Soundcloud and saying "Hey Pav, fuck you, this record would have scored you so much [...]

Composed of 2/9ths Ex-Protectors, 2/9ths(?) Ex-Ernest Ellis band, VEEN is showy, cosmic synth-pop that gives a wink and a nod to early Crystal Castles. Brand new Sydney music, see what you make of it: M I N D V I R U S by V E E N 8 B I T L E O P A R D by V E E N xMandu

New project from Jono Ma, formerly of The Valentinos/The Lost Valentinos/Valentines Day: The Movie. Here's something you wouldn't expect - some riffy beach-side crooner psych, replete with Ghostwood's leadman on vocals: Come Save Me by Jagwar Ma Does it make you want to wear weather inappropriate clothing and writhe around in the park? Perhaps it makes you feel like playing frisbee on campus with some mates from politics class? Thanks to RadgeRadgeRadge for the [...]

We took 5 minutes with the Russian Global Trance Junior Masters Champion, Arty in the leadup to Stereosonic this weekend. Seriously, look how young the punk is! - What is your favourite Russian pop song of the past decade and why? (the more random the better!) Hard to say because I do not listen russian pop songs at all. But there is a track from my 2 close friends - Leonid Rudenko and Alexander Popov - Stranger, really good song, especially in new club mix, BANGER! [...]
