Wildcat! Wildcat!

What can I say? A band that has about three singles out and change. I'm yearning for MORE! Can anyone help? I guess that's my job. I checked out the website, very simple stuff here, yet when they go to describe their sound they nail it. "indie/electro/pop/sexybeats"
Ya dig? If you dig a little deeper you'll find a little more than just three singles (it's like unwrapping presents *Merry late Christmas*) I can't hog all the fun. January 4th, 2013 they will be playing at the Natural History Museum and you, as well as I will do everything in our power to go and watch them. For now feel free to have a little taste.

GROOOVIN

I downloaded this sweet track from DAFTWHO? the other day and it's uplifting vibe grabbed a hold of me and still hasn't let go.  The original version of I Lay My Head by Fallulah is definitely a great song, but Shook brought his nasty French funk to the table and in my opinion made it much better.  Not many have heard of Shook (until recently, myself included) but this guy is someone to keep note of on the electronic music scene.  Here's a cool remix of Phoenix's Lisztomania.

Stay safe kiddos.

NEW JUSTICE ALBUM ART

CIVILIZATION

While browsing HYPETRAK, I found this little piece (above) and supposedly it's artwork for the new Justice album. Needless to say I am super stoked! Justice has been out of the spotlight for some time, but hopefully their release of "Civilization" later this year will catapult them back into the electro music scene. If you don't remember their success in 2007 with † or "Cross Symbol" then here are a few videos from that album to refresh your memory.

STRESS

A good friend, Peter Ebiner, saw them in concert for New Years Eve last year and only confirmed how hard they throw down on the decks when they perform live. Coachella 2k12 anyone? I'll have my fingers †ed.

Have a good weekend kiddos.

GOOD HEAVENS

This is jogger

Based out of Los Angeles, they are just another reason why anyone in California needs to head over to Low End Theory Club (new location in San Fransisco)... ASAP! Under Daedelus' label Alpha Pup Records, Jogger mixes a wide variety of sounds from various genres including electro, folk, drum and bass, glitch, and metal to create their latest album, This Great Pressure.

Utilizing live mixing technology, guitars, and at times a violin, Jogger takes your hand and guides you through a range of emotions from anger to sadness to joyful bliss. Notable songs from the album include Gorilla Meat (above), Master and Student, Falling, and Superman. Nephicide (below) is on another level. At first the song feels like it's going to be an uplifting electro banger, however when a sinister voice is introduced....well I don't want to ruin the surprise, but I'm forewarning you something intense happens. WATCH

Pretty much all hell broke loose. I can admit that I was thoroughly confused when I first heard the song... Should I be scared? WTF IS THIS?! Then I saw the music video and everything made sense. Nephicide is a testament to capabilities of Jogger. The duo gives listeners 10 unique tracks while maintaining a sense they were birthed by the same mother. I wouldn't expect to start a dance party with This Great Pressure, but shredding any form of gnar with Jogger in your ears just makes complete sense.
happy jogging.
