New Cut Copy: Where I’m Going

Posted in News with tags , , on 16 July, 2010 by Chapperdeemus

Aussie electro pop band Cut Copy have brought out the first taster of their so far unnamed third album. It’s called ‘Where I’m Going’ and first listens are giving off less of an electro sound than usual for them.

I’m hearing initial Arcade Fire influences here actually, although the more the song progresses the more the synths start to take over.

Cut Copy are calling this one a ‘good old chant’, which makes sense with their use ‘yeah’s and ‘oohs’ during the chorus, similar to how Muse created a chanting style for ‘Uprising’.

So there you go, I didn’t think we could compare Cut Copy to Arcade Fire and Muse, but thats the similarities I’m hearing on first listen.

To get the song, you need to trade in your email address at their website, or you can stream it below.

They are also going on a mammoth world tour this summer and autumn, see if you can get a ticket near you:

Dark Matter Compilation + Competition

Posted in New Stuff, News with tags , , , , , , , , , on 8 July, 2010 by SimR


Bristol dubstep mother-label Tectonic are releasing an anthology compilation featuring two CDs of their finest releases since 2004. The label plays host to some of the most influential names in the industrial side of dubstep including Joker, Vex’d, Pinch, 2562 and Loefah to name but a few.

Through their publisher, Multiverse, the label has been at the forefront of the British dubstep scene and, together with Hyperdub, represent some of Britain’s best young talent in dance music so I’d highly recommend this release to any dubsteppers or electronic music fans.

Buy the Dark Matter compilation: physical / digital

The label have also organised a competition for all you lucky readers. 1st prize is a free copy of the Dark Matter compilation, a selection of 13 Multiverse releases from 2010 including tracks from Joker and Jakes, a free copy of Multiverse’s new Loopmasters sample pack and a free limited edition t-shirt.

Great Lakes – Summer Fruit

Posted in Downloads with tags , , , on 8 July, 2010 by SimR


New release from the Brooklyn-based country/folk group. Summer Fruit is the lead single from their new album Ways of Escape. This is normally the sort of song that I’d pass by and let Chapperdeemus or Olivier deal with but I’m feeling open minded today so here goes.

Great Lakes have been around since 1996 but this is their first release where Ben Crum features as the primary songwriter so it’ll be interesting to hear how the new album sounds. An acoustic piece that’s tinged with emotion throughout, as opposed to the more light-hearted feel of their previous work, it’s clear that the band have taken a different direction for their new LP. If Summer Fruit is anything to go by then this new approach is definitely working. More please.

Ways of Escape is out 12 October 2010.

Aeroplane – We Can’t Fly

Posted in New Stuff with tags , , on 8 July, 2010 by SimR


Aeroplane’s first single since becoming a one-man show. With pure disco brilliance and hints of summer Balearic scents throughout, the ironically named We Can’t Fly, is out now.

The release is in anticipation of the Belgium’s first LP which is due out in the autumn.

Thanks to TMS.

Swedish House Mafia – One (Your Name) (Caspa remix)

Posted in Downloads with tags , on 7 July, 2010 by SimR


And so it begins…

One is without doubt the biggest tune of the summer and so it’s not surprising that the remixes have already started to flood in. Here’s Caspa’s retake where he plays around with Pharrell’s (fairly irrelevant) vocals to good effect and slows the tempo ready to be dropped into any dubstep set. Not that that would be a good idea at all but it’s a worthy take on the original nonetheless.

Doorly – UKGeee

Posted in Downloads with tags , on 7 July, 2010 by SimR


Released on his own new label, Pigeonhole This! UKGeee is a step away from the bass-heavy dubstep that Doorly is usually known for. Gone are the crescendos and huge drops that follow and in their place is a much more sophisticated sound, leaning more towards the garage end of the genre.

Together with the launch of his own label, Doorly has just released his new EP featuring six unheard originals which includes UKGeee as the lead single.

Doorly’s new EP is out now.

He’s also just mixed the new Reclaim the Dancefloor compilation, a new night put on at Ibiza Rocks which will be running throughout the summer. Here’s a preview:

Bat for Lashes & Beck – Let’s Get Lost

Posted in New Stuff with tags , , , on 30 June, 2010 by SimR


Bat for Lashes and Beck have come together to write this track for the new Twilight film. Shit films they may be but the soundtracks are always pretty damn good and the last film in the trilogy looks like it will be keeping up this trend.
