Crystal Castles just released an edited version of the “Affection” video for the Hugnotdrugs remix. Have to appreciate the fact that they kept the original elements of the song in tact, making it a pretty solid version to get into.

Electronic Fix.

Really enjoy what Invisibles did with this song by Crystal Castles.

The electropop street artists, HEARTSREVOLUTION, are back with their new mixtape Revolution Rising. Hear the rest of it here.

Charli XCX’s debut album, True Romance is currently the only thing I listen to, and this is one of my favourite songs from it.

Glass Candy covered Kraftwerk and managed to do a pretty decent job of it too.

This is the perfect song to space out to.

The Frail’s remix of Sister Crayon’s “Cynic” blends so many different genres together it’s hard to keep track of them all.

This song is taken off Bonobo’s latest album, The North Borders and in true Bonobo fashion is pure perfection.

Finally.

It’s official. After a very long absence I am finally back to being a normal functioning member of society. My over-extended break from the internet has ended, and the nice thing about not having it for so long is that I’ll now have a lot of things to write about. So for the next few days expect to be spammed by me endlessly. I hope you’re prepared.

Crystal Castles’ latest album, III, leaked a week ago, and after giving it a good listen, Ive decided that these are my favourite new songs.

This song is literally blowing my mind. 3.52 in particular. It kind of sounds like something that would be played in a science fiction movie set in a alien factory, or maybe just in a crack den. I can’t be sure.

Lana Del Rey just released The Paradise Edition of her debut album Born To Die, which comes with 8 new songs. This one is definitely my favourite.

Mt. Wolf was introduced to me in the remix that Catching Flies did for “Life Size Ghosts”, which I recommend you listen to, here. “Cry Wolf” is another incredible song by the band taken off their current EP.

Little Dragon got remixed Shlohmo. Honestly, what could be better?

I couldn’t write this post without mentioning something about The Drums, who are playing in Cape Town TONIGHT! So excited I could cry. I probably will be crying later. And I’m really looking forward to it.

Another song from Crystal Castles’ forthcoming album, III, has just been released and sounds a bit like their take on 50 Cent’s “Ayo Technology”.

Crystal Castles | “Wrath of God”

Last night, Crystal Castles released the latest song from their upcoming album, III. This album is shaping up to be even better than the last.

Best of Video Marsh.

Preview: Crystal Castles

Crystal Castles are due to release their new album later this year. So far none of their new material has been released, but they were caught performing a new unknown track at Manchester’s Parklife festival earlier this month. The video isn’t the best quality but it’s good enough for you to hear that the song is going to be amazing.

It’s Friday. Listen to This.

The week just ended. Time to start drinking so we can all go out and make fools of ourselves. To get you in the mood I’ve put together a few songs perfect for such an occasion. First on the list is a band called A Lull, who deliver some pretty amazing psychedelic rock in “Summer Dress”, which is the first song off their new album, Meat Mountain.

The next song is by a band named Phedre. Listen here.

“Geri” is the first single off Superhumanoids’ new album, Exhibitionists. Listen to it below.

Listen to Blondfire’s “Where the Kids Are” below.

HEALTH made an incredible remix of “Suffocation” by Crystal Castles. Listen below.

Last on the list is Arnaud Rebotini’s remix of “Beyond Bad” by Rafale.

Go forth and prosper.
