Sunrise Tunage

I think it is safe to say that not much needs to be said about DCUP and his dope disco stylings (yew parklife). But with his latest release the scope is on the group he has retouched a tune for in that of Aussie three piece Cosmo Black. Competing in triple j's unearthed competition these guys are well worth supporting. I listened to and voted for a group called... Art vs Science in the same comp a few years back and they ended up winning and playing to a sweet crowd at splendour that included me so it really is a valuable thing to win. have a listen to their tracks on unearthed and vote! I will be discussing a few uncovered Aussie gems that i find in the next few days so be on the lookout. till next time ciao.
peace!

Cosmic Horseman

I know what some may think "oh really more nu-disco?" and to those of you i say yes! it is the future of the electronic scene and standard dance is dead if a beat is not cranking then it is new wave disco revival. Midnight Savari is a great example of how outstretched the nu-disco arm is a house driven scene in Jakarta has produced some sydney signed brilliance in Ken Adhitya (Midnight Savari). Ken although from what i can see is only quite fresh on the scene has sent over some really great tracks that are well described through the elements - at times his tunes posses a range between earthen simplicity, liquid tranquility, flaming synth hooks and a cool easy cosmic breeze of disco. He has been picked up by sydney label 'Death Strobe Records' and is set to release a 12" in a month or two - with a good variation and some tight layering his ten minute epic 'The Sirens' has hooked me. Support from the c90's in their latest chart mix is not in vein. Check him out and support this artist as his dreamy disco is getting me through a mountain of study right now it may have the same effect for you.

SAXual Healing


Good morrow lads and ladette's. I have been loving the indie-electro toonz currently and they have pretty much dominated the blog, but do not cry crankers as i have not forgotten ye. For those who would rather tingle their spidey senses with some dancefloor smashers the king cranker himself 'Drop The Lime' has some fresh new stuff on the scene. Set to be a club killer and possible 2010 anthem the tune has also received a bit of retouching and stylings from many. So i will let bleeding gums murph... woops! i mean Drop The Lime do the rest of the talking for his track, however to emphasise the true beauty of the sax i have included an old 80's track that in its garish-disco feel is now nothing but brilliant - enjoy.
peace!

Black & White Serpent's

Indie kids and norms alike celebrate as Helsinki's finest have just emerged for your euro easy indie sound. Infused with synth additions and heavy drum hooks the latest tracks from their EP 'Nighttime' give Zebra And Snake a dark indie dimension that intertwines with the electronic pop revolution we are undergoing - for the better or the worse? The Finish duo have really impressed me with the quality of their early tracks and demo's alike, a remixable sound and the ability to appeal to many crowds could see this alternative pair gaining a lot of support this year. I am undecided about a prediction for their future scope on the scene but a debut album would certainly seal my opinion. Nevertheless Zebra And Snake are my next thing for indie-electro in the outside of London euro scene - check out these tracks and be sure to support by buying their EP 'Nighttime' it is a worthy investment to this mammal and reptilian group who have a large future ahead of them.
peace!

Primal Princess


"I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lions roar" - Winston Churchill

Introducing to you all Primary 1. Some of you may or may not have heard the sounds of this mysterious producer and DJ. At the moment his track with Riton 'Who's There?' is getting a lot of radio play on mostly triple j and is a prominent feature of a roll of dj's mixtapes and club dance floors. With a debut album set to drop soon he has released a single from the soon to be album 'Princess'. This track sits amongst many of the beast above's pervious releases - i have included a refix that just intensifies the tune so cheers to BigStereo for the hookup. And for those who are new to this king of the jungle (dancefloor*) then enjoy his most notable tune as well.
p.s. as holidays continue then so will the posts, so keep posted for a flurry of drunkfunk splurges.
peace!
