Video of Buke & Gass – Page Break From the publicity stills Brassland Records has given out of Buke & Gass (which is pronounced byook and gace, if you were wondering), you would imagine the combination of Arone Dyer and Aron Sanchez would be producing cute music à la pop duo Little & Ashley. You couldn’t be much further from the truth. Hailing from Minnesota and Maine respectively, the two produced a full length record with the gusto of fellow … →
I have to give some serious credit to the remix artist of this track, Prime. I was not that interested in listening to a remix of the Bloodhound Gang’s ridulously catchy and corny song, “The Bad Touch” but Prime turned it into an insanely addictive dubstep mix! Prime has a sense of humor (he also remixed the “Muffin Man”) and a gritty dubstep style that make this UK producer someone I want to see more tracks from ASAP! Bloodhound Gang … →
The fact that a producer can dabble with stems of a song and layer it with basslines and electronic melodies to create a new experience that sets it apart from the original track is quite exhilarating. Having said that, not all songs should be remixed. There are songs whose melodies are so profound to its musical core, and the emotional core of the listener seeking comfort in them, that changing the original formula by the slightest usually results in utter … →

Houses take on Talamak is a massive departure from Toro Y Moi’s bright-eyed and danceable original, and is better for it, taking the listener on a slow euphoric trip back to the summer, where angelic ‘ahs’ shine through the rain of disjointed beats. Although at first the track seems like a collection of layered rhythms and samples, by the end it has morphed into an involving burst of woozy pop that will surely be soundtracking love, loss and longing in … →
On “ANGST:ONE”, Paris’s Black Strobe take The Toxic Avenger‘s relatively straightforward original into a very different place. By resampling the original’s piano backing and forcing it to follow a bionic bassline all over the chromatic map, they’ve created a wholly new track. It zooms away from electro house and shoots past electroclash into the kind of unblinking funky weirdness I’d expect to encounter on an Ersatz Audio compilation. It’s definitely not boring. I just wish it were longer. The Toxic … →
Aww yeah! You thought the handclap was gone but we got it back in all it’s gated reverb glory! Signed to Sony in 2009 and recently winning 2 awards at the 2010 New Zealand Music Awards for best New Video and New Single, Kids of 88 are really starting to make some waves in the sea of new music. The boys (Jordan Arts and Sam McCarthy) recently released their album Sugarpills in August which jumped straight in at #2 in … →
Though the concept of “New Wave” isn’t as “new” as it was in 1983, the music genre seems to be coming back to life in this day and age. A slew of new bands are trading their snares in for drum machines, and their grand pianos for synthesizers –and many music zealots like it. The synth-overload may sound too pop and staged through many artists, but George Lewis Jr., mastermind behind ‘Twin Shadow’ has brought “brand-new” to “New Wave”. The … →
Ever since ‘One’ was dropped in Miami WMC this year until the very last closing party at their Masquerade Motel at Pacha in Ibiza this summer, the Swedish House Mafia have dominated audiences and sales charts alike with their live shows and trailblazing productions. So far we have heard the likes of Pharrell Williams and UK hot shot Tinnie Tempah feature on their album ‘Until One’. To mark the release of their Movie Documentary this week, we at the Music … →
