What you call it? Dubstep? Dance? 2-Step? It just gets funkier and funkier, like the official new technicolor video for Rusko’s “Woo Boost”:

His debut album O.M.G.! out on Mad Decent, May 2010.

It seems like only yesterday our little monster was rampaging around the Bay Area like a bass wave on a sugar high. Hard to believe this will be the 5th time the loosely associated autonomous mobile soundsystems of the mutant variety have convened on an undisclosed, secret underground location for maximum sound reinforcement and fun times. That’s right – 2 monstrous walls of sound will be erected, combining the earth-trembling bassbins of 5lowershop & Army of Love with the massive mid-range towers of HAVOCSOUND, crowned by Czech-technology rocket tweeters of the notorious S.P.A.Z. soundsystem for ONE MASSIVE MONSTER OF LOVE 5!!!

Daft Punk have some sweet gear in their pyramid! Most of it is matching too. This is where Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo create their electronic magic and make humans dance on command! Here is an enlarged robot eye view of a Daft Punk concert: ([More →])

A-Trak and Sinden are nearing the end of their North American tour with Steve Aoki. I can’t wait til they hit San Fran next week, especially after hearing A-Trak and Sinden gang up on Kid Sister with with this acid-funk-adelic remix of “Beeper”:

Count & Sinden never sounded so English-electronica before! ([More →])

A blast from the past to brighten your day: Basement Jaxx with “Where’s Your Head At?” This should put a spring in your step!

The dance craze of the 90’s is aimed to be the dance craze of the new millennium with the return of Utah Saints to the scene! The original UK dance-trance team is kickin it old school in the new video for “Something Good ‘08″:

As soon as I saw the lineup for the Bang Face Weekender, I started researching flights to England. It’s that exciting! Alas, the dollar is weak and gas ain’t cheap, so it’s only wishful thinking for now. This happens every year with some music festival or another and the lineups just get more siiiiiick every year. Bang Face hails itself as “A Neo-Rave Explosion of Acid, Jungle, Rave Hardcore, Drum & Bass, Breakcore, Techno, Electronica and Abstract Dance” which only hints at the range of amazing talent presented each year. The 3 day festival takes place at the end of April at Camber Sands and features three different staging areas – the Rave/Jungle/Breakcore Room, The Electro/Bass/Techno Room and a round-the-clock chill-out room.

Ninja Tune is releasing an epic compilation album called You Don’t Know: Ninja Cuts that drops March 11th. It weighs in at 3 CDs, stacked with 50 Big Tunes from 1998-2008, from Mike Ladd to Pop Levi and from Roots Manuva to Wiley! Last year, HearingTest featured a few of the tracks that made the cut:

The version of “Free” by DJ Kentaro on You Don’t Know: Ninja Cuts is actually an “Armani XXXChange Remix” and the version here is the original edit from Kentaro’s Ninja Tune LP Enter. (I don’t have the remix yet)

The mysterious Swedish/Ukranian electro outfit – Maskinen – have released a new video for “Alla Som Inte Dansar.” If you like Modeselektor type stuff, you’ll probably dig Maskinen… ([More →])

Fader Mag has a fantastic feature today about Daft Punk. Partly because their tour starts in L.A. tonight, partly because they just effing RULE and partly because the Punks let the peeps from Fader try on their new and improved robot helmets. How cool is that? If you haven’t seen the new helmets, check this: ([More →])
