It feels like The Bumblebeez (aka Bumblebeez 81, but not to be confused with The Bees or Band of Bees) have been around forever, so I was surprised to find out that this album from late 2007 was actually their debut long...   click for more

I've never been to Rio, but I bet it's a fun place. Beaches, bikinis, booty, boob jobs, baile funk... what more do you want? Australia's Bumblebeez obviously have a thing for the place and named their recent electro pop jammy after it....   click for more

From the Avalanches, to AC/DC and especially to Kylie Minogue, Australian exports always manage to capture my man Roger Yamaha's heart. So when we got in this "Future" single by Melbourne's Cut Copy, it wasn't hard to guess who would be first...   click for more

Second single from the In Ghost Colours album. In the usual Modular fashion, the track gets tricked out with remixes from currently on-fire producers. Tapping into current 80s trends, Calvin Harris goes retro-electro boogie on his version. Similarly the Midnight Juggernauts go...   click for more

The term "highly anticipated" gets tossed around a lot, but it might actually be an understatement in the case of the new full-length from Cut Copy. This shit is already #1 on the Australian charts... okay, you probably only have to sell...   click for more

On a recent research trip to Discogs, it was revealed that Cut Copy released their first record in 2000! Whoa! I had no idea they'd been doing it this long. This most recent single, produced by one half of the DFA production...   click for more

Cut Copy was instantly popular with the remixes of "Future" that came out last year, and they've come back with more powerhouse remixes this time around. Kingroc and Headman bring us two hot remixes of "Saturday," each exceptionally unique in their own...   click for more

K.I.M. (aka Kimberly Isaac Moyes, one-half of The Presets) returns with another loaded single for the seemingly unstoppable Aussie juggernaut that is the Modular label. "Wet N Wild" is nothing earth shattering as Daft-influenced vocoder electro goes, but K.I.M. manages to maintain...   click for more

The one-man rave band prodigy from Melbourne is back at it with another single from his awesome Guns Babes Lemonade album. "Sweaty" is arguably one of the most fun tracks on a record full of fun tracks -- you know the one...   click for more

So awesome to get this on digital. I think after we've gotten over the whole new disco thing (then the rave thing, then trance thing, then amazingly back to indy rap thing), this is the album that's gonna stick out as the...   click for more

The Presets continue to explore the deepest, darkest caverns of electro and rock on Apocalypso, their sophomore full-length for Modular. Along with the buzzsaw single "My People," the Sydney duo explore the housier side of things on tracks like "This Boy's In...   click for more

I saw these guys at Winter Music Conference in 2006 and I wasn't impressed. It wasn&'t bad, just real average and unexciting. Whoa! It seems they have been plugging away down under and improved in the two areas they were lacking. Before...   click for more

Woah - The Presets really called in the reenforcements for this one. The Aussies get remixed by just about every big name in dance music right now, including Simian Mobile Disco, Cut Copy, Digitalism, Midnight Juggernauts and the Juan Maclean. Fellow countrymen...   click for more

"This Boy's In Love" is one of the more poppy moments on the Presets' Apocalypso full-length, albeit poppy in a very Presets fashion. The drums are still cold, the synths still sinister and chugging, but the lovesong lyrics and saccharine backup vocals...   click for more
