EB OFFICE FAVOURITES - August 2010
As Depeche Mode so eloquently put it, we ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ and that’s how we feel about this month’s tracks. August has been a good month for us and as usual we have an eclectic track selection. Ranging from Art Department’s dark and sexy ‘Without You’ to Mr. Flagio’s power disco of ‘Take A...
ONES TO WATCH - Lorn
It could have been Lorn who brought on the impending apocalyptic 'solar flare' staring down upon us; this dark wobbly warrior happens to possess some seriously grim arsenal. His name has been bandied around in the familiar circles of Gonjasufi, Darkstar, Mount Kimbie and Flying Lotus. It's some...
ONES TO WATCH - Ghost Hunter
23 year old Robert Verrecchia, aka Ghost Hunter, may be a new name to most, but it’s one you are going to hear a lot more from in the coming months. After turning out a number of blog happy remixes for the likes of Charlotte Gainsbourg and These New Puritans, it’s time for his debut release on n...
ONES TO WATCH - Emeralds
Say what you want about music these days, every category, every genre, every style has been mashed up, over described and calculated to the nth degree. The only thing left to do is denounce everything and start from the beginning, which is why we like Emeralds so much. They are like cav...
ONES TO WATCH - Hype Williams
Whenever an act appears out of London, you can't help but be skeptical of their intentions. Is it the scene they are involved in? Is it the fashion? Is it even about the music? Well, to be honest, all these questions apply to the hotly tipped Hype Williams, (not the US music video direct...
TOUGH AT THE TOP - Mr Modular: Steve Pavlovic
It’s probably fair to say that Steve Pavlovic (those in the know call him Pav) is something of a legendary figure in the Australian music scene. He first got a foothold as a promoter bringing some of the biggest names in nineties music – think Beastie Boys, Nirvana and Beck – to Australia’s shore...
ONES TO WATCH - Midland
Early this year, Midland was part responsible for one of the biggest tracks of the year with pal and cohort Ramadanman. Out of what seemed like nowhere, Midland was catapulted to centre stage with the monstrous ‘Your Words Matter’ released on Will Saul and Fink’s Aus Music imprint, also home to...
MY MUSIC MOMENT - Tame Impala
So you know Modular first and foremost as the home of some of Australia’s hottest electronic music, but that’s not all they do. Tame Impala are a prime example of the label venturing into other territories. The psychedelic rock three-piece, originally from Perth, have recently been taking their f...
ONES TO WATCH - Wbeeza
The world of house music can be a fickle place. One minute a DJ is the next big thing and the next they are asking you for 3 euros for their lunch. Similarly good producers do not understand a dancefloor and have trouble maintaining their career through DJ’ing. Wbeeza does not fall in to either...
ONES TO WATCH - Robert James
Robert James’ first EP comes courtesy of Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ Hot Creations imprint and it most certainly is a hot creation. Please excuse that most heinous of puns. For fans of Soul Clap, Wolf+Lamb and other soul infused, vocal-lead house music: Robert James is the one for you. A...
EB OFFICE FAVOURITES - July 2010
Music knows no boundaries when it comes to working at Electronic Beats. Just take a look at some of our staff choices for July. We've got a bit of everything covered. Some new tunes, some old nuggets - from psych-pop to deep house. Whilst we pass the halfway mark for 2010, we're already accumulat...
TODAY WE LIKE: New video for Caribou's single 'Sun'
I still confuse the Canadian artist Caribou with Elton John's eighth studio album of the same name. Such things have now reversed as Caribou's third album Swim (read our review here) has become one of the biggest LPs of the summer. The mathematical wiz Dan Snaith has achieved a consider...
ONES TO WATCH - Airhead
Talk about fresh. Airhead only has one 12" under his belt, but already has a fair amount of loving from the bloggin' underground. The British youngster first shot to the surface with his fellow cohort, the 'soon to be M-A-S-S-I-V-E' James Blake. Blake and Airhead grew up together,...
ONES TO WATCH - Canyons
Welcome to the world of Canyons, where nothing is quite as it seems. Formed by school friends Leo and Ryan, Canyons are a slow-burning story of success who have built a word of mouth reputation through little more than their music, which has been carefully and slowly eased into this world from a...
