post Ratatat - Drugs (Music Video)

August 5th, 2010

Filed under: Electro, Indie, Music Videos — Andrew @ 6:34 pm

Speaking of Ratatat, the Brooklyn electronic duo have dropped a new music video for the track “Drugs” off of their latest CD, LP4. The video which was directed by Carl Burgess, is not unlike their past video accompaniments, this time weirding viewers out with shots of awkwardly posited people.

post Nowonder - Manic (Mp3)

August 5th, 2010

Filed under: CA, Electro, Indie, Los Angeles, Pop — Andrew @ 6:08 pm

Nowonder is the alias of aspiring Los Angeles-based electronic-pop recording artist, Danny Choi. With an extensive background in music, including a stint working with the music production staff of the hit television program “Yo Gabba Gabba,” Choi has long since honed his craft and geared it towards developing his own burgeoning production career. Stylistically, the highly infectious hooks and atmospheric electronic bits in the Nowonder tunes delineate the young musician’s diverse tastes and songwriting precision. Like many independent musicians today, Choi utilizes a ‘one-man operation’ approach in the skillful writing, production and mixing processes in his work (the quality of such, however, sets him apart from the rest).

The track “Manic” is one of Nowonder’s first public offerings and a great one at that. Influences like French dance duo Justice and Brooklyn electro favorites Ratatat are definitely felt in this chaotic dance song. More importantly, however, is the fact that it sounds as if Choi’s been at it just as long as the aforementioned artists.

Listen to “Manic” here:

The track, along with two others (”Fall” and “Dream”) available for download on Bandcamp.

post Caribou - Sun (Music Video + Mp3)

July 27th, 2010

Filed under: Dance, Electro, Experimental, Indie, Lo-Fi, Music Videos, Pop — Andrew @ 2:24 am

It should come as no surprise that Canadian electronic pop maestro Caribou (alternately known by his former alias, Manitoba) is not only a gifted essential one-man band, but an accomplished mathematics scholar. Daniel Victor Snaith’s 2010 breakthrough release, Swim, is wholly demonstrative of the musician’s cerebral approach to both his passion in academia as well as in his aural craft. The dance-worthy lush soundscapes Snaith creates in his latest album are the result of his application of chord sequences and logic in his songwriting and some truly and feasibly evocative of progression.

Check out the correspondingly trippy new music video for Caribou’s latest single “Sun”:

post New Robyn and Röyksopp - None Of Dem (Mp3)

April 12th, 2010

Filed under: Dance, Electro, Experimental, Indie, Pop — Andrew @ 1:11 pm

Remember this Swedish singer-songwriter? Right, you probably don’t. Let’s refresh your memory; this is the bird that dropped the mid-90’s jam “Show Me Love”.

Don’t lie, you couldn’t get enough of that track back in the day. Well, Robyn hasn’t exactly faded into obscurity since then. A few huge electronic collaborations (”With Every Heartbeat” with producer Kleerup amongst others) and a Grammy award nomination later, the pop artist is still going strong.

In anticipation of her fifth studio record, Body Talk Pt. 1, Robyn has thrown up a teaser in the form of a new track/single, “None of Dem”. The song, which marks yet another partnership with Norwegian electronic giants, Röyksopp, (Robyn lent her vocal stylings on the track “The Girl And The Robot” on their 2009 release Junior) features the type of sound you’d expect to find yourself vibing hard to at an obscure Euro discotheque or Hollywood club alike. Robyn comes strong on the track lyrically (touting the ineffectiveness of drugs and guys frontin’ on her) and it already appears that the album’s title encompasses the style/sound that she’s looking to achieve.

Body Talk Pt. 1 is set for release on June 14th via Cherrytree/Interscope and is part of a 3-mini album series.

Tracklisting and album artwork:

  1. “Don’t Fucking Tell Me What to Do”
  2. “Fembot”
  3. Dancing on My Own(feat. Kleerup)
  4. “Cry When You Get Older”
  5. “Dance Hall Queen”
  6. “None of Dem” (feat. Röyksopp)
  7. “Hang With Me (acoustic)”
  8. “Jag Vet En Dejlig Rosa”

post UPDATED: Justice | Beginning of the End (mp3)

January 28th, 2010

Update: 1/28/10 4:oopm PST - Word is this is a fake. You can’t say I didn’t write about my suspicions, nothing has been confirmed either way, you can’t blame people for jumping on it - email came straight from promo@edbangerrecords.com and the supplied graphic was sharp! 

1/26/10 6:oopm PST

I was just asking myself when I’d hear some new original tunes from the french duo who catapulted ahead of the late 00’s electro-dance scene. Well I just got an eery one-line email from Ed Banger:

“Feel free to share it or talk about it”

One sentence of curt self-confidence that only a conquering French record label can summon! Of course they know we’re going to do both… Beginning of the End has that signature creepy yet melodramatic crunch to it. Sounds like the start to a pretty epic follow-up. If your looking for a new revolutionary sound, your not going to get it here. However there were enough good tunes and visuals off that first record, that I don’t mind listening to a bit more of it.

post Terry Urban | Lady Stardust | “Let’s Just Dance” (mp3)

November 16th, 2009

Filed under: Dance, Electro, Remix/Mashup — Gopi @ 4:52 pm

lady-stardust_lets-just-dance-art-bigger-2.jpg

Ever since Terry brought up this idea I’ve been feigning for a listen. This track will kill a dance floor, but I want more Bowie! I’ll reserve judgment until the full project drops Friday.

With the success of  ”Viva La Hova” and “Southerngold”… Terry Urban leaks the first single off  his new remix album “Lady Stardust” which mashes up pop sensations Lady Gaga and David Bowie. Terry felt a remix project like this needed to be done with such similarities between the two pop icons. The album will be released for free download Friday, November 20th.

Mick Boogie & Terry Urban came to rock U.C. Riverside a few weeks back. Pheo & I showed the fellas around the Inland and helped rock the party. The buffoonery was documented below:

DJ Gabe Real rocks our weekly Friday night jam here in Riverside, CA… and for good reason. Being one of the most experienced DJ’s the Southland has to offer, he struts his versatility with his newest mix, A Hot Mess. An ecletic mix of Reggae, Breaks, Electro & Rock, that’ll keep you moving! Don’t sleep on Gabe’s production, remixes throughout it, not to mention the very talented & bueatiful Jefferson Dejesus laying down vocals on many of those tracks. 

Gabe is keeping busy, if your lucky enough to be camping at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival this weekend catch his set Thursday night in the Dome, along side Flying Lotus, Daedelus, Busy P & more. Keep an eye and ear open for Jefferson Dejesus who is working alongside Gabe on various projects. The two drop a very exclusive bonus mp3, a cover of “Michelle” by the Beatles (originally Paul McCartney on the lead vocals) in advance to the Southland’s pilgrimage to the desert this weekend.

Download: A Hot Mess, zShare (100mb), Soundcloud (100mb)

I don’t think any of us at East of L.A. have posted about FlyLo, so here it goes.

Flying Lotus will be listed as one of my favorite active producers. Whether it be his beats, remixes, or whatever, I am absolutely obsessed with this dude. And just recently, FlyLo released his second issue of his “LA EP” series and I am here just making sure you folks get your hands on some good music. In this issue, the likes of Ras G, Nosaj Thing, Samiyam and Mike Slott remix a few FlyLo tracks, and I certainly recommend that you guys purchase this EP.

Buy it here.

Our boy DJ Morsy (of Nanachill) always brings the fire. He mutated my favorite favorite Dre & Eminem collab into a dancefloor banger! (and I say ‘mutate’ in a cool Ninja Turtles way, and not in a mutating virus kinda way…. órale!)

Expect this alongside a slew of beastly tracks on his next cd dropping this Thanksgiving called, “Don’t Hate The 808″
