We’ve been a bit lazy of late, but here is something to wake us from our torpor. Cutting through our fortnight of hibernation is the submerged, seductive pop of Purity Ring‘s Ungirthed. A 7″ is coming soon via our pals at Transparent, who have followed a slinky remix from Christian AIDS with another by the engimatic Deptford Goth. We spoke to Purity Ring about quaintness, yams and Soulja Boy.
Our friends at Big Love in Tokyo are selling lots of cool stuff to raise money for victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Please pay them a visit.
Imagine if instead of splitting up, Destiny’s Child had done the opposite. Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle somehow merged themselves together and evolved into a giant robot Megadiva. Blank & Kytt could be the mad scientists who make it happen.
For this week’s Dollars To Pounds I warned awesome producer Drop/Dead not to watch Rik Mayall films. In return, he made this incredible mix. Tracklist after the jump.
It’s been 16 long years since we last posted three times in a single day, but we’re happy to break our stride for this neck-deep heartbreaker from A Grave With No Name. Coming soon on No Pain In Pop.
When I was 14 years old I was too busy playing Mortal Kombat and being scared of girls to remix awesome bands or make my own bombastic compositions. Maybe if I’d been born during the internet like Glass Popcorn things would be different. And while we share a teenage love of decapitation I bet he can’t do the baby fatality (he probably can).
When The Singularity arrives and we all become super-intelligent, immortal cyborgs (not long now!) this kind of thing will be the ultimate make-out jam. Lapalux has an EP out soon on Pictures Music.
Who better to produce a brooding, existential rap epic than our buddy Babe Rainbow? Here he makes Oakland duo Main Attrakionz even more tense than usual, hanging over their heads like a creepy, ominous cloud.
