there’s something in the water in manchester…

“Late at night, I’ll run through the streets and empty corridors.
I’ll find my counterpoint, inside a red room locked behind a door. Behind a door”
I mean, really. It simply is not fair. There must be more musical talent in Manchester, England than the whole US eastern seaboard. You know the names [...]

can you dance? yes…you can.

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? When two titans collide and a magic so organic and so perfect simply happens and you’re left to wonder what ever kept these forces apart in the first place? Don’t believe me? Grab a listen to U Can Dance, the blistering new single from two of [...]

i’m gonna buy shoes and i’m ready for the weekend!

“Counterfeit, counterfeit
That’s what you’re shouting at me
I could run but I’d sooner have this
And I make her bleed
Lick the blood stain from your finger
Say what do you see?
Remind you that whatever you get is
What you want it to be”
Well…umm…damn. If I’m Not Alone in its stadium-rave glory wasn’t enough of an [...]

boys will be boys…

and this boy just happens to make some of the craziest noise around. Fresh off a blistering set this past Saturday at the Central Park Summerstage. German tech-house producer extraordinaire, Alexander Ridha aka Boys Noize has returned and brought a smashing new single along with him in the form of the recently released Jeffer/Starter EP. [...]

smd on the water…

*******************************PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT******************************************
Umm… *clears throat* Suede-heads in the New York City area! I highly advise that either by hook or by crook, you find a way to get to the Williamsburg Waterfront this coming Sunday, the 9th of August as the one, the only Simian Mobile Disco are making a stop and promise to bring [...]

oh….the audacity…of huge!

“I got that crank trippin’ baby shoe
I got that grape kool-aid filled swimming pool
I got those Roomba robots that clean the floor
I got that mother of pearl oyster fork for sure
I got that Tammy Faye milk money butterscotch
I got that Mama Cass you know I got that Peter Tosh”
It wasn’t that [...]

pleasure is no fun if it’s only temporary…

 
Since the Chemical Brothers decided to drop the baton as well as the beat, Simian Mobile Disco more than ably were able to pick that baton up and run with it with such mega tracks such as Hustler, I Believe & It’s The Beat. 2007’s debut smash record, Attack Decay Sustain Release reminded us how mind-numbing [...]

tiga wants to lick your shoes…

Where the hell had Tiga been? I swear it felt it had been about ten years since Sexor came out instead of three. It seemed like I couldn’t walk into an indie disco night here in Williamsburg and not hear You Gonna Want Me every time and then nothing…until now. After a long wait, here  comes [...]

the mobile disco is coming ’round the bend…

 
Remember when the Chemical Brothers were neck and neck with Underworld as both bands vied for the title of best techno band on the planet? Sorry, the Prodigy were always also-rans. Now that both bands have become mortal, there’s been a gaping void left since without nary a worthy outfit to [...]

let’s keep with the rave theme, shall we?

Nu-rave? Pfft! Give me the real rave shiznit anyday! Hadouken!? Puh-lease.. The Klaxons? Debut record as solid as they come but a blaring siren sound in Atlantis To Interzone does not make you nu-rave or any kind of rave. The Whip? Jesus Jones wants their sound back. I’m talking bands like Orbital [...]
