I was first introduced to The Cardigans back in 96 or 97 when I first started paying attention to Much Music. At the time I couldn’t get enough of ‘Lovefool;’ I was coming to terms with my heterosexual love for dance music (especially the funky-cheesy type) and as the hormones were raging, bleeched-blonde Scandinavian girls [...]

Flashback
18Oct09Calvin Harris’ new single ‘Flashback’ is set to drop this November 2nd featuring David Guetta and Eric Prydz on the remix. If you scope out the mixer he’s using at the club, you’ll see that it’s a flashy Korg Zero 4. Sexy.
Live: Saturday October 17th 2009

She Came Along
17Oct09So Sharam (of Deep Dish) has a new album out entitled Get Wild with possibly the cheesiest album cover ever. In a very different direction, I believe Sharam nails this western/country themed track. Smooth double bass lines, guitar twang and country piano set the mood to an ancient 50s sample which somehow just manages to [...]
The Kickdrums + Left/Right
17Oct09The Kickdrums are a singer, songwriter, producer and DJ duo originally outta Ohio who have combined real instruments, vocals and synthesizers music into that perfect indie-dance blend. It seems they needed just a little help when it came to the dance part, which is where Left/Right came in — a production duo outta Texas who [...]
Royal Ruffian + Missingtoof
17Oct09So last night I was perusing my usual favourite blogs when I decided to see what Missingtoof was up to. To my surprise, they’ve returned indefinitely after getting some advice from a Beatport engineer on what to do about hosting. Their first post just happened to be a goodie. It’s been awhile since I’ve really [...]
You’ve Got The Love
17Oct09So while we were on our blog-time-out, we definitely missed a few of the newer and bigger indie artists who have made their way into the blog / dance music scene with some amazing remixes and covers n’ such. For example: Florence + the Machine, covered The Source’s ‘You Got The Love,’ the iconic 1990s [...]
Earthquake
17Oct09This week we posted the Treasure Fingers remix of ‘Earthquake.’ It seems that the original has had a video release just a few short hours ago! Enjoy.
My Secret Lover (Diplo Remix)
16Oct09Back in July, I posted a remix of Private’s ‘My Secret Lover’ by the mysterious Juxx. Since then, the Michael Jackson-esque track has been reworked by the always amazing Diplo to sound something a little like The Cool Kids or other 1980s inspired rap tunes. “I’m plugging in keyboards one at atime.” Private – My [...]
Kissing Cliché
16Oct09Sean Terribilini aka S-T3RRA was introduced to the blogosphere by DOCKSTA back in July and since then he’s been doing pretty well for himself. Actually, tonight he’ll be Djing SexFest with the likes of DJ Bam Bam, Hot Pink Delorean and Disco Villains! Not bad for a young DJ just starting off! So, if you [...]
K-DART
15Oct09Rex The Dog returns to 2009 with two stunning remixes that I’ve missed: Röyksopp’s ‘This Must Be It’ and Fever Ray’s ‘Triangle Walks.’ Both tracks include vocals by Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife or the newly formed solo project Fever Ray. ‘Triangle Walks’ is a standard Knife-like track with Rex’s synthesized magic thrown on [...]
Paparazzi (Chew Fu Remix)
15Oct09It’s been a long time since we’ve posted anything from Chew Fu. Quite frankly the site has been blogdead for a little bit now with the exception of random music videos and our live shows. While we were off frolicking, Lady GaGa was shocking audiences to possible phalluses as Chew Fu was remixing her ‘Paparazzi.’ [...]
