New Crystal Castles Remix, “Death”

First remix by Crystal Castles’ “wizard behind the curtain” Ethan Kath in quite some time. Par for the CC course, expect a proper dose of pounding bass line and liberal use of reverb for a very echoey treatment on the lyrics — fairly consistent style with his previous

Chromeo x Hall & Oates (Minus the Oats)

Chromeo guests on 10th edition of “Live from Daryl’s House.” 
 
Pretty cool collaboration from our RE:UP 15 cover boys with Daryl Oates, check the recordings here.

Dzine at Deitch Studios

August Listening

4 CD’s that have been on a steady stream during the work week.

1) Milosh: Just received this from Plug Research this week. Looks like everyone is locking down the Canadian imports and Plug Research is no exception. We’re expecting big things from this Toronto based producer.
2) Sonic Youth: A compilation album on Starbuck’s Records? Really?!? […]

New Atlas Sound Single for Download

Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox released this single from his solo project Atlas Sound over the weekend, and although just one teaser track running at six minutes, it’s a nice taste of what the talented Cox can do on his own and without a five-piece rock outfit (okay, we did get the full taste with the […]

The fall collection has officially arrived at the WeSC Los Angeles store (144 S. Robertson), along with a new iced out window display.

For […]

Gas Prices, “Why Is It So High?”

Gas prices got you down? Home mortgage holdin’ you down? Hutchy feels your pain. Lil’ summertime blues video done in a MTV-80s wacky skit style from Hutchy - who has dropped tracks you probably know with fellow DC mates Thievery Corp. & Thunderball.

Maunderin’ Mix by K.I.M. of The Presets

Aussie Kim Moyes aka K.I.M., one part of the electronic duo The Presets has put together a lil’ late summer mix for download — and it goes in just about every direction. Opens with a confrontational Public Enemy track to a softer, folksy Von Sudenfed and grows more electro track by track, but then–bam!–he drops […]
