Four Tet's Kieran Hebden is quite the eclectic sound mixbag. He has had all sorts of amazing collaborations, a nice roster of albums and a genre reach that makes him a guy you would've touched on at least once in your musical experiences. This track is from his latest album, which brings a whole new meaning to 8 bit sounds.

So James Murphy, aka LCD Soundsystem, said that he will be stopping at their current album 'Sound of Silver'. They were showing a lot of promise; pulling the plug a bit too early?
Something old, and something new.

One of my favourite radio station programs, Triple J's Soundlab, is full of amazing surprises, and last night didn't fail to deliver. They played a remix of a track by an experimental UK group Grasscut and I was completely floored by how fucking eerily good it was, especially towards the second half of the song. Dance with a despairingly hopeless panic attack with sirens blaring in the background and a non-stop beat that won't let you off the hook until the end. It did help that it was late and raining.

All the way back in 2001, before their popular dance electro albums Bright Like Neon Love and In Ghost Colours, Cut Copy released their first EP titled I Thought of Numbers. It contained 7 tracks, some of which reminded me of something the Avalanches would've done. Six or so years later, they would play a large role in propelling Australia's electro scene, alongside The Presets and The Midnight Juggernauts.

The MFA (Motherfucking Allstars) are London-based duo Rhys Evans (Welsh) and Alastair Douglas (not Welsh).
This is the song that made them popular and look as promising as the Chemical Brothers. Minimalistic electro dance is probably the easiest way I can describe this.

Heard these fellas on the radio, found 'em pretty neat and thought I'd write something up. If you're fancying harder, more raw electro, then this might be your cup of tea.
Fuck Buttons is a two-piece experimental group formed in Bristol, England in early 2004 by Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power.

... then you would find a song like this in its soundtrack. Or maybe not, but it is a great tune. How would you describe it?

The mixes are seamless, and we're seeing a diverse range of artists (Fever Ray to The Jacksons). Love the teasers with some of the songs (familiar cut copy, daft punk and air melodies make an appearance to tickle your musical senses).
This is brilliant! Everyone will definitely find something they like in this mix.

I know nothing about Neon Indian other then the fact their/ his sound is a mix of 80s synth pop, video game soundtracks and a tune that provokes a desire to take a really really long roadtrip.
I don't know about you, but these tunes beg for me to call my friends out for good old fashioned fun.

Picked up this great tune by Gui Boratto, a Brazillian electro producer. Play this towards the end of a big night out
Take a chance in those wonderful words you just don’t understand.
I can show you the way but I know that you’ll never be there.
All the time, all the shine of your eyes I would never forget.
All I know there’s no time, there’s no life, there is no turning back.
There is no turning back……….

Oldie but definitely a goodie. Mix house, french, electro and sexy sounds and you'll get this great tune.

Where the fuck did he come from? I mean, WOW.
This is excellent stuff if you're into the whole synth/ dreamwavepop/ chillwave/ dare-I-saw-shoegaze thing. Think Slowdive's Pygmalion Era Demos but more friendly with our contemporary standards.

From their 1989 Acid Memories EP.
If there is one argument for the freefall distribution of music over the interwebs, it would be that we would never get the chance to hear BoC's earlier works. Apparently it was only ever distributed to friends and relatives on a cassette.
Life would be less meaningful; days more empty.

Part 2 makes me prance around like a faery, thinking that I'm in a skin-tight glitter outfit and having that vertigo feeling you get from being stuck in time on the Tardis (because I totally have).
P.S. I want to go do my grocery shopping in this outfit.
