That’s right, Valerie’s british branch member is performing a live set today on Triple J radio, tune in 2:00pm EST to get a taste of what’s in store for his upcoming gigs in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth
If you’re in Sydney tonight, head down to Candy’s Apartment to see Russ in all his bleepy glory. Ned will be there, and he’s cool. So do it.
Back in October, Bec blogged no less than 8 separate remixes of Late of the Pier’s ‘Space in the Woods’ in a single post. One would have thought that possibly, just possibly, that may have been sufficient. But today I am here to declare ‘NAY, ‘TIS NOT!’ (because occasionally I turn into a sixteenth century knight of the realm while blogging). Savour the flavour mofos (I usually turn back pretty quickly) because here be two super tasty and massively disparate remixes for you to pack your sweet little ears with like so much ice cream.
Switch (a.k.a. Mr Fidget) turns in a surprisingly accessible belter of a remix with nary a fidget in sight. This is probably the most straight-up party tune I’ve ever heard the guy put out, but shit me if it isn’t complete dancefloor napalm. In the party-starting way. Not the Vietnam war way.
Late of the Pier - Space in the Woods (Switch Remix)
5 hours later at the after-party, Primary 1 have what could be the total antithesis to Switch’s remix: a slowed down psych-rock digression on the hepped-up new wave mania of the original. Quirky but cool.
Late of the Pier - Space in the Woods (Primary 1 Remix)
Despite the nigh-on ridiculous immensity of remixes that have been floating around the web for the past year or so, ‘Space in the Woods’ hasn’t actually been released yet. But brace yourselves and your dollars for May 19, because that’s when the official ‘Space in the Woods’/'Focker’ single will be dropping, and I have no doubt that it will be (available) everywhere. Get into it.

Can the Presets lay down an edit over the top of this? Or maybe someone could make a mashup of this with My People or Steamworks or something?

I was vaguely tempted to handball this across to Ned in the vain hope that I might not look quite so stalker-ish by writing two posts on the same woman in one calendar fortnight… But hey it is Lykke Li. And anyway, I can totally justify it on the grounds that it’s more about Fred [...]
The other morning I was in the shower, thinking about how to begin this post, hoping that water = creativity, when I looked out the window to see a kookaburra land on a branch just outside. This kookaburra spontaneously multiplied itself by six just moments later and they all sat in a row, silently staring [...]
It’s Mothers Day today and I officially lose at Mothers Day. Every year it is pretty much the same, I either forget a present or I forget a card and have to do some kind of last minute thing that is always soooo obvious it was last minute.
Like last year when I didn’t have [...]
Sometime last year, I think around October, a whole bunch of people started raving on to me about the Galvatrons and telling me to go see their shows. Apparently they were packing out and just playing a really solid live show. A month later they signed to Warner Music and have been on the go [...]
Not that I thought I’d see myself doing requests, but my interest was piqued when I received an email asking about minimal mega-teamSupermayer’s remix of the seemingly everywhere ‘Heart’s a Mess’ by Melbourne’s Gotye (the exceptional Ocelot remix of which has been previously profiled here). A little bit of exploration later and I discover not [...]
I wouldn’t normally post a MGMT track, because they’ve received quite enough hype already, (albeit deservedly) but this remix was too good to resist. Jorge Elbrecht has really outdone himself with this one. The thing I find so charming about MGMT is their ability to combine whimsical innocence and amicable sarcasm, alternating them beautifully through [...]
I already displayed my wealth of love for French electro wonder-kids The Shoes back in March, but recently the remixes have been flowing out so thick and fast, and their touring schedule expanding at such a prodigious rate that it seemed only fitting to revisit G and B Shoe and give you all a taste [...]
So the world’s sexiest scientologist (pipe down, Tom Cruise, no one thinks it’s you) Beck Hansen, is rumoured to be releasing his new album in the next four to six weeks. And oh my god, four to six weeks is hardly enough time to prepare for my brain to explode with all the anticipatory excitement, [...]
Tonight signals the start of the Rubicon parties, bringing italo disco and electro to Thursday nights.
Hope to see you there.
