We feature a TON of electronic music on this site but we rarely cross genres and move over to something a little more analog. This morning I was sent over something that had me tapping my foot and fighting the urge to dance from the first note Like most "indie" bands, I have never heard of Lovett but after this video and song, I am now an official fan. HEARTATTACK from Lovett on Vimeo . For those [...]
Yesterday we let you know that we had two really amazing international gems for your listening pleasure, and if you thought TOG was good.. just wait till you hear this collab between SEB x Fred Falke x Burns.. Seb is a vocalist / singer / man of leisure from beautiful sunny London. He has pretty much done everything from selling cookware to working in a movie theater before he decided to focus on just music. We can most definitely relate to that. When we [...]
It's very rare that our inboxes get filled with GOOD music now a days especially when it's international but this week we have got very lucky with two amazing gems... one from France and one from Norway Meet Norwegian horror-house pop act Tôg - sizzling synthesizers, 60's combo organs, arpeggio swirls and thumping, italo-house beats. Beginning through a chance encounter, songwriter Lars Christian Olsen and his room mate would conduct "disturbing" sessions of electronic music experimentation using laptop synthesizers and an old Farfisa organ. But as luck will have it with true musical genius, [...]
If you have been frequenting this site for awhile, you may remember that our very first featured artist by the name of Prince Klassen. Needless to say, we have been big fans of this guy ever since we met him 4 years ago when he did his Cinespace / Avalon / Dance Right tour and this morning I woke up to an email from Prince with a pleasant surprise inside. Right now one of the most popular songs on the remix scene is Jinder's Youth Blood there are at least 1000 [...]
3 years ago Australia invaded the world with a handful of bands that would change the music scene across the world and Cut Copy was one of those bands.. Cut copy was actually formed in 2005 by Dan Whitford and before he added the additional members (Tim Hoey, Mitchell Scott and Bennett Foddy in 2003) he had already released 2 songs under the Cut Copy name... In 2005 is when they made their presence known to the world with a tour that included London, L.A. and New York. From there the band gained national noteriety and just kept [...]
It may seem like was are ALWAYS putting up mixtapes from our dude HEAVY ACCENTS and the reason why is very simple.. THEY ARE ALL REALLY GOOD!! We get at least 30 new emails a day relating to new music and 99% of the time it all sucks. I hope I don't alienate half our readers here by saying this, but we are sick and tired of "buzz saw" electro. If it has to be played at full volume and there is a slight chance it might be played on Kiss FM or Power 106 for their [...]
There are some people who keep their dreams at arms distance and there are some people who do what they can to grab those dreams and make them their own. Brett Guidry aka MC IMPRINT is one of those people who don't let excuses get in his way of grabbing hold of his dream and making shit happen. I remember two years ago when his brother Cottrell told me about him and asked if we could book him to open for our 80s v 90s party with FATLIP. I said yes without really [...]
79 days till Coachella and it's only fitting that we put up a relevant post right? So why not another rare Death From Above 1979 video? Yeah good idea, we know! Death From Above 1979 was first formed in Toronto canada by Jeese F. Keeler and Sebastien Grangier after they met at a Sonic Youth Concert. Their first album "Head's Up" was released in 2002 under Last Gang records was their attempt to blow the heads off the stale music scene in Toronto and it did just that..... [...]
There is only 81 days left until Coachella and although that may seem like a long time, you will be surprised one how fast those 81 days are going to go by. So from now until C-day, we will be featuring artists that we can hardly wait to see in the cocaine covered deserts of Indio. There are so many great bands playing Coachella this year, that it might be difficult for you to plan your schedule accordingly but for me it's very easy... I'm going to Coachella for one reason and ONE [...]
It's easy to say that music captivates your soul but did you know that there is now scientific evidence suggesting that music actually affects you mind much like a drug? An "outburst of the soul," the composer Frederick Delius called music. The sounds associated with the form produce "a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without," observed Confucius. It is the art "which is most nigh to tears and memory," noted the writer Oscar Wilde. It turns out that these guys were more on [...]
RÜFÜS is one of those names that stay in your head after you hear it for the first time, and it's a very good thing. As every brand new project, RÜFÜS came out from a friendship story and started with some fun in a studio towards the end of 2010. The three friends involved started to write some songs and to sample "noise" directly from the forest and the beach; you can clearly hear this on most of the tracks. The sound can be [...]

One of our good friends, MC IMPRINT is getting ready to make your heads explode with his new album entitled "The First Impression" dropping next week 1/27/10. In case you have missed it, we have always been huge supporters of MC IMPRINT even way back since our 80s vs. 90s Jam when he opened for FATLIP, and so when we heard he was releasing an album we couldn't wait to be a part of it. Plus another good friend of ours STAMP'D LA will be [...]

So to pay homage to this day, here are a few of our favorite "One's".. Highlander.. there can only be one! Mercedes c1-11 BMW M1 Harrison Ford in "Air Force One" [...]

You know that feeling you get when you take a vacation somewhere and you are immediately seduced by it? I got hit by that feeling hard when I took my first trip to New York in December. New York is one of those fast paced cities that you can't help but fall in love with, and that's exactly what makes it so unique. Unfortunately sometimes some really amazing things get covered up or get forgotten about in the midst of such a fast paced culture. Urban explorers from [...]
We have lost way too many musical talents this year and Bobby Farrell is most definitely one of those genius' who will be greatly missed. Fronting the group BONEY M, he brought a level of sexyness and smooth that the world wasn't quite ready for. Maybe that's why many of the most popular artists today are sampling all his old songs? Heart failure caused the death of 1970s disco icon Bobby Farrell in a Saint Petersburg hotel room this week, his agent said Friday citing Russian authorities. [...]
This year certainly has had it's ups and down's. It's really hard for me to look back on this year and reflect on how amazing it was, because it really wasn't. Yeah there were some really good times but the majority of the year was filled with troublesome times. But like my good friend once told me, "Years like this are necessary" and I couldn't agree more. We need tough times like these to build our foundation so we can move forward and move up. So here's to 2011, I am looking forward to what [...]
