New Goth-Trad: “Mirage”
Japanese dubstep pioneer Goth-Trad has a new number streaming online called “Mirage.” A little less manic than a lot of the dubstep sounds squirming onto the Internet, Goth-Trad’s beat on “Mirage” ends up being surprisingly slow for the genre. But all the other hallmarks of the sound pop up: a good chunk of the track’s…
Instrumental Version Of A New Lullatone Song Featured In Photoshop Ad…Of Course I’m Going To Write About It
A band lending a song to a commercial isn’t particularly worthy of breaking news in 2011.

Well here’s a complete curveball – 80kidz’s latest remix, of Fight Like Apes I-will-beat-the-shit-out-of-you “Lend Me Your Face,” forgoes the trio’s usual dancefloor-approved production for…a John Waters-worthy emotional rocker. The track eventually builds up to a club dance beat, but for most of it’s four-minute-plus duration sticks to a slower moving guitar-centric sound reminiscent of…
New Metome: “If I Ain’t Got XXX”
Do you like Alicia Keys? Do you like Alicia Keys pushed to the extreme edges? She’s made a handful of really great music all her own too, but there have also been some fantastic remixes of her songs. Now, here comes up-and-coming Osaka-based producer Metome taking Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You” and turned it…
