I ♥ filthy beats that make me want to dance. Startlingly, like a slap in the face late last year, I became an electro-whore. Can I say whore here? I'm both elated and exhilarated at how most artists are really starting to dabble with the electro sound. I'm all about the 80's revival, fashion colour and music. I'm a child of the 80's and as such, I'm a sucker for my dad's old LP's, which still turn on a Sunday afternoon at my place. That being said, I'm also a huge fashionista, I work in the industry and love every minute of it. I've got a dog named Boo and I'm also a Treehugger. ♥ xo

Miami Horror, released!!!

November 13th, 2008

I never thought I’d see the day — and I’m sure neither did he, where 22 year old DJ/Producer from Melbourne would see his own EP come to fruition.  It is indeed being released TOMORROW! (The 14th of NOV.2008).  I couldn’t BE more thrilled.  

You probably mosly know Miami Horror♥ from some pretty smashingly hot and superfresh retro inspired remixies … filled with synth, killerhooks and dancyness!

He’s remixed bands like Pnau, The Presets, Faker, Datarock, Party and Midnight Juggernauts. In the space of a year, he’s turned megastar on the interwebs and blogosphere.… Read more »

Thursday, Throwdown

October 23rd, 2008

There are a couple of bands that are really jiving with my chi. I’ve fully been working overnights doing Xmas setups at the department store — and the IPOD filled with this kind of stuff has helped a horrid experience become like a hot-knife through hemp-butter. Read more »

Ladyhawke - Debut, reviewed.

October 21st, 2008

I’m feeling blue. I don’t usually do a bad review. Mostly because it leads to BORING reading. This album is NOT BAD! It’s just, lackadaisical. I want to squirt petro onto the fire, but I wouldn’t do that because I burnt myself as a child spraying hairspray and lighting a match. No, that’s not why I have bad spelling and grammar. I’m an artist, not a dictionary. McCoy would be jealous … except, he used Doctor … never mind, I digress. Read more »

October 3rd, 2008

So TUMS UP for best new band name … EVER?!  I’m insanely sick, and can only come-up with a somewhat ‘tossed salad’ … if you will, posting.  Not in the tossed salad way you think I meant, either.  I ♥ cold meds.

Last.FM sayz:

Luke Smith and Shaun Libman always wanted to form an electronic band; the only problem was they couldn’t play any electronic instruments. After their initial attempt at being an “a cappella electronic band” failed, they turned to a nearby drum machine and synthesizer (both made before the members…

September 13th, 2008

Have you ever heard a REMIX of a song & really creamed over it … then you hear the original and you’re like, WTF?!?  That’s what happened over ‘This Heart Attack’ by FAKER.  They released a wicked remix single & there’s a couple of tracks that I really ♥.

I thought I’d post them both and then give you a chance to hear/watch the original tune.  Make sure you hear both remixes before you watch the vid.  Hopefully you’ll have the same reaction I had.  Then I can say I told… Read more »

My mouth waters for the day when these two Sweedish boys release a new album. If you’ve never checked out ‘Boylife’ … where have you been?!?!

I thought I’d post a couple videos the duo have done, that I enjoy.  Tomorrow’s FRIDAY!

Keytar + Synth + Beats = ♥

If this doesn’t take your rainy days and Mondays away … I promise to personally mail you a Xanax.  Je suis trés trés allumé.

They call themselves Grafton Primary.  Gee, I’m starting to think Australia is giving Sweeden a run for it’s money … sexyelectrobeatishly speaking.

meet electric♥youth

September 3rd, 2008

Electric Youth are everything that I love about where duo’s like Bronwyn & Austin are taking music.  I dig the pure creativity, the electro-vibe and the synthtasticality of it all … ♥♥

I happened to discover Electric Youth as I was browsing a few of my favourite electro-pop blogs.  They’re completely fresh, not even signed.

Wait a minute! Somebody broke into my car and took my UNDERWEAR, that’s GROSS!

August 26th, 2008

Is anyone in the room a Tori fan?  I have to admit, I’m a fanatic.   When my parents bought a brand new plymouth acclaim in ‘92, I was 12, awkward and blasting my eardrums full of ‘Little Earthquakes’.

Before Tori started on her solo frontier, she was in a band called ‘Y Kant Tori Read’ … I know, right?  I had to post this YouTube video because the acting bit at the beginning just puts me in stitches.  ALSO, an added bonus, the song is RAD!

♥Juvelen♥♥♥

August 24th, 2008

Honestly, I haven’t been as excited to discover a new artist on last.fm in a LONG time!  NOT only that, but have EVERY song by said artist work my wiggle!!!  His name is ‘Juvelen’.

He says about himself:

Straight from the motherfuckin dungeons of pop! Born in a Stockholm basement some two years ago, rising from the ruins of compromise and time wasted, Juvelen signalled the start of something funky fresh. Finally the record will be set straight. The good name of pop music will be restored, and sexy will once again be…
