We’ve been fascinated by Petite Meller ever since she left a link to her “Backpack” video on our Facebook page last September. If you watched the video when we posted it, then chances are you remember it. It was the gorgeous homage to vintage French cinema shot on the French Riviera. Meller herself describes it…

Émilie Simon began her career with a self-titled release in 2003. I happened upon it by chance when I was looking for a few new CDs to buy on Amazon France, as I had been a French music junkie since 1997 or so. I had no idea what she was going to sound like, but…

Lissie’s new covers EP was self-produced by Lissie and her band in their home of Ojai, CA. “We were approached to cover “Mother” by Danzig which led to a fun week in the studio that inspired us to lay down some other covers we had either been playing live already or had been wanting to…

Estereotypo sounds like quite the mouthful of a band name until you break it down, then it’s easy. See: E-stereo-typo. We’re not sure how they pronounce it, but we’ve been pronouncing it the way it sounds when broken down like that. In any case, these talented cats hail from Spain and their upbeat, super-synthy blend…

We’re posting this because we know many of you like him. But we much prefer other dubsteppers, like Kill The Noise, Noisia and Feed Me. Skrillex might have been doing it first, but this is a case where the students have surpassed their master.

Ultra-catchy song that embraces being a little crazy. Nothing wrong with that! We’ve all got the chorus stuck in our heads now. Speaking of which, we love her lyrics. She’s witty and sarcastic, so cheers to her for that.

Frankmusik, one of the electronic music scenes very best artists, has been doing fewer remixes and more original songs of his own as of late. You could call it “pulling an Avicii,” but we do believe that Frankmusik started releasing songs of his own before Avicii, our point being that Frankmusik is an original and…

Here’s who does what: Stacy DuPree King – vocals, keyboard Sherri DuPree-Bemis – vocals, rhythm guitar Chauntelle DuPree D’Agostino – lead guitar, occasional vocals Garron DuPree…

Dum Dum Girls’ first release, a cassette called Blissed Out, was as lo-fi as you can possibly get. Or pretty close to it. To my ears, it sounded less like lo-fi and more like shit. (It was a bedroom recording, in their defense.) But my opinion of the group has gotten progressively better with the…

This luscious ballad begins with Katy B singing softly over melancholic piano notes. “I still see your face like it was only yesterday,” she sings, her voice full of longing. Once it arrives at the chorus, a sticky electro-beat beat begins throbbing away accompanied rhythmic live percussion and humming synth. “Still, still on my mind…

A few remixes of HAIM’s wonderful tune that is “If I Could Change Your Mind” have surfaced recently and they’re all quite good. The Knocks remix is fantastic, for example. But it’s this MK remix that we keep going back to. It’s got a distinct ’90’s house vibe to it that makes the song sound…
