Seiho posted this new song, “So Far,” yesterday, and it is definitely worth your time. It is the first track of his in a while not to feature some sort of mutated vocal sample – here, he just lets his electronics warp themselves around into a really colorful beat. Listen below.

On one end of the spectrum, he contributed to the mess that was her 2011 album For Common People, a collection of songs spinning around like a tea cup ride for no reason other than…

The poorly named outfit HOT HOT SEX combines indie-rock staples with dance elements. Great opening sentence for an essay, right? Unfortunately, this isn’t 1985, so this statement needs to be explained a bit. They don’t do dancepunk, and you couldn’t label much of HOT HOT SEX’s music as “nu-rave” (though “655321” comes close).
