HEARTSREVOLUTION is a girl boy band from LA, now in New York. Their label is IHeartComix. They announced a remix contest for their upcoming remix single: C.Y.O.A (Choose Your Own Adventure) which will be out 11th March. Here’s the video. The 12” will feature a lot of remixes by big names (Brodinski, CFCF, etc). In addition Flosstradamus and LA Riots made remixes for their tracks as...
Made in the Dark, Shining in the Light
New Hot Chip album is on the way. ‘Made in the Dark’ will be out on DFA/Astralwerks at the beginning of February. Huge hype is going on.
Somehow I never really liked ‘Over and over’. Of course, it was a hit and everything but it was somehow mediocre. Too sophisticated for disco, too disco to be a ‘laid back’ post-punk hit.
Ready for the Floor was much...

For our Hungarian readers, just to make sure you know about this. We are going to be residents more or less each week at Trafo alongside Miss Lucifer (Death Disco), KittenKillers
Michael Jackson Eats Boys Noize
My favourite and trademark M.J. song ‘Beat It’ was raped by Boys Noize. (Thank you Missingtoof. The post there is called ‘Pop Remixed’ - awesome.) Or was it the other way around? I think I’ll go along with the second version.
Guilty pleasures are becoming cool. Everyone has them and everyone likes to deny. Just take a look at this picture and ask yourself: can you...
You Never Do Reality Checks While You’re Young
Super-hyped band The Teenagers finally released their debut album entitled ‘Reality Check’ only in digital format and the real thing follows in March. Okay, everyone reported this, but nevermind. This had to be posted.
After a couple of listens the album is great. Not full of surprises though. More or less it’s the same sound you could anticipate from the singles. However, the...
Mano remixed Digitalism
I have to make a statement:
fuck january
Thank you.
Now, let’s turn to music. There is a song from the last year that was something like D.A.N.C.E. from Justice. Everyone loved Pogo by Digitalism.
It had a funny video, it is beautifully crafted electro-pop of the new generation. And they are from Deutschland, ja, not France, haha. Actually I think (Forgive me Lord for I have sinned)...
Sometimes way too much can be just right
CSS: a band that’s remixed everyone, and been remixed by everyone. The last thing we need is another CSS remix of any sort, right? Well, I’ll hand it to New York-based Kill the Noise, they nailed this one. And with a website like this, it’s a clincher. Props at ya boys for hitting it straight on with enough edge, but not too heavy on the overused French glitch.

The voodoo, who do what you don’t dare to, people
Over the past couple of years, so many subsets of the neo ‘rave’ genre have been annointed i’ve given up trying to keep up — nu rave, who rave, jew rave, blue rave, stew rave, poo rave, er.. — on second thought, you got me, i never bothered trying to keep up. And i don’t care if you’re Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, or whoever the fuck: if...
SoCal is That Much Better with Poneys
AM radio. Backseat. Father’s car. Early 80’s. Southern California. That is: my upbringing.
How is it that the French seem to grasp the concept of that era better than Americans? I guess it’s that whole ‘perspective’ thang. I remember the Air video for All I Need blowing me away on how crazy accurate it was. Fast forward 10 years and Poney Poney are pumping out...
Giant Tittsworth remixes post
Okay, here we are, this guy is pretty cool. From the USA, Washington DC, he’s one of the coolest club djs now. Should’ve done this probably a year ago but Discobelle posted their series of ‘12 days of Titts’mas’ for the holidays and I suppose now is a good time to post these remixes. His own stuff is not really for me (80s, hiphop, turntablism, etc) but he has THE...
Late of the Pier
Is it late to wish happy new year? Sorry, we weren’t too active in the last couple of days. We are kinda exhausted after the holidays.
Anyway, here’s a new song I definetly have to post since we played the remix of Space and the Woods by The Neon Plastix like a hundred times. BiBaBiDi posted Broken’s remix by Portasound.
This is the new generation of synth-driven British acts...
