29Feb08

These London boys have been fairly busy in the last little while, pumping out some catchy jams and playing with Rihanna? But the punchline is the all star lineup of producers who got their hands on Klaxons tracks and remixed them to create some rippin’ electro club anthems. Remixes from the likes of Kitsunés’ Digitalism, [...]

Hasta Luego, Soundboy

28Feb08

Last week I had some family come through town, so it was an appropriate time to clean up. Doing so, I found my copy of Groove Armada’s Soundboy Rock. It had been a long time since I had given this album a good listening too, and was reintroduced to the mysticism of Big Beat and [...]

Mass Hystereo

23Feb08

Hystereo is Conor Murphy and Jack Byrne, two producer/DJ’s out of Dublin, Ireland; I have been keeping an eye on them since the release of their album Corporate Crimewave which caught my attention with its semblance to French house with a touch of nasty distortion. Sure enough the boys pumped out some solid rebrands, and [...]
