2 Comments Electro, Indie

May I introduce to you Andrea B. and Sky Antnori, two of a quite amazing Swiss band, Division Kent. Who’re lately been remixed by the awesome Shook who’s the mysterious young talented producers with the magic glasses, you remember. Also Shane Fontane aka Mr. DRTY DRT has given it a shot to remix this already stunning She’s Going Places of these Swiss sexy rockers.

Ronin E-ville

1 Comment Electro, Indie

Ronin E-Ville alias of Colin Patrick McGuire a Toronto-based producer and DJ recently released his new album Big Dirty Hifi. A unique album colored by various influences and gernes like electro, breaks, dub, lounge funk, rock … you get what I mean when you hear it. Awesome how these genres get bended into this electronic sound which makes you dance or even get you extremely relaxed. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a producers creative as Ronin E-Ville.Experience it yourself.

I’ve selected two of the thirteen tracks of this amazing album. Two tracks that already shows you the variety in this album. One is String Beats featuring Jasmine Ramirez on the vocals. Check the videoclip on youtube. Enjoy!

Nightsweats and more …

3 Comments Electro, Indie

It’s been a while since we’ve heard something from our friend Ryan Moore aka Kid Nexus. But no news is good news. Right? Yeah, it defenitely is. Ryan was very busy with a new project that he recently launched with his friend Johan Collins. They’re calling themselfs Nightsweats. They’ve already been live and apparently that’s been a good live session because so many people including some big names in the electro scene have been begging for their brand new tracks.

The Foals, an english rock band from Oxford are organizing a remix competition together with last.fm. They offer you the chance to remix Electric Bloom from their debut album Antidotes. The winning track will be chosen by Foals to be released along with a future single as a 7digital download bundle.

There’ve been already some quite remarkable entries. I really liek the way the different producers add their personal touch to this already rocking tune. I’ve selected my personal favourites…It was kind of hard though, they are all so good!

The Fire And Reason, I never heard of this NYC rocking band, not until Toxic Avenger worked out their forth coming single “NME”. Damn I love MySpace if it can get to these amazing collaborations. I really must thank the beatiful Bella to introduce me to this track and to their band. I love their original sound and I totally dig the distorted, chopped up version of the Avenger. Don’t forget to check oout mor upcoming tracks at The Fire And Reason MySpace!
