Enjoy!

Grhawke!

I’m enraptured by the Peaches RMX of Ladyhawke’s Paris is Burning. Possibly the growliest piece of ‘tro I’ve heard this year. I mean literally – it growls at you through a keyboard. You need it. Buy it from iTunes HERE. Dirty Dirty stuff. Have a listen then please buy it as Ms Hawke needs to [...]

Chromatic splendour

Telepathe’s wonderful split single with Sunni-Geini Chrome’s on it/ SG Main theme is out now on No Pain in Pop and you can buy the 7″ from Pure Groove HERE.
Pure Groove describe the release as;
“trippy, off-kilter freak-pop has a psychadelic intro that sounds like Prince, meaty electro synths that sound like Hot Chip and [...]

By virtue of

I’ve been threatening to post about Ipso Facto for some time now so I thought I’d make good.
Harmonise is about as perfect a debut as it gets; poised, potent but never polished the raw talent of the artists is allowed to pass through. And if I’m permitting myself to be [...]

Awesome Incisors

Well good news; the noise mongers that bowled me over with their support slot at the We Smoke Fags gig at Monto last Wednesday – FANGS have got back to me and said it’s ok for me to post up one of their RMXs. (Also big thanks to Marko for the kind words about my [...]

Sailors, Swift and Torture.

The Miss Pain three have a new stage show with cardboard Jonathan Swift scale romance novels as a backdrop and sailor costumes (obviously…) Their last live date until the Autumn, the trio will retire to bolster the single campaign [...]

It is by virtue of this blessed service that I can see that nearly a quarter of all people finding this page got referred to by typing BLACK [...]

Packaderm Lock Up

Tuesday just gone I was hauled in last minute to DJ the sold out Cage The Elephant gig at Monto Water Rats. The night was bananas – I’ve never seen Monto so busy. Everyone was buzzing around, people had trecked from Cornwall and further for the show:- Very special atmosphere indeed.
Kentuckians CTE sound like [...]

Disktopic Wonders

A while back when I was doing the learning thing at Uni I came accross this guy playing electro in the Union bar. He was the only one plugging synth based stuff back then and certainly the only person dropping The Juan Maclean out in Reading.
Thankfully he didn’t stay satisfied with just DJ-ing for long [...]
