Being the devoted Chromatics fangirls that we are we're always hanging on everything they release. It's been semi-quiet on the Chromatics front since they released their newest full length 'Night Drive'. But recently a demo of a new version of 'Lady' surfaced on the 'nets (thanks GVSB!).


MP3:  Chromatics – LADY (four track demo)

And whilst were touching on Johnny Jewel's production skills partake in this Glass Candy instrumental which can only be described as a masterpiece. Not sure if Johnny is going to leave this as an instrumental or have Ida No do her thing, either way we're creaming our jeans over this one.

I know your guys' Chromatics game must be tight, but if for some reason it isn't you can cop a copy of Night Drive on CD from Insound. Download more Chromatics jems from their myspace.

littleboots Little Boots: Meddle remixed by Toddla T / Stuck on Repeat remixed by Fake Blood

I'm repeatedly impressed by Blackpool/London electro-pop/italo-disco diva, Little Boots (formerly of Dead Disco) has been keeping busy since her solo debut, 'Stuck on Repeat', that we raved about last February. That record still gets heavy rotation and is still one of the best tracks of the year. As is the more recent Fake Blood remix. Fake Blood can do no wrong. Nor can the producer of the original Joe Goddard of Hot Chip; the original deserves another go also:

Little Boots new single and first retail release, 'Meddle' is another worth getting stuck on repeat. This record will be dropped in the UK on limited release August 4th. Original on the front and remixes from Brits, Ross Orton and Toddla T on the flip. Limited run from 50 Bones Records. Order the 7" wax from Puregroove.

Aside from being recently confirmed for the So Sweet stage at Southern California's 13th annual Nocturnal Wonderland festival this September 13th, Little Boots is currently doing more cozy DJing gigs around L.A.. I caught my first intimate Little Boots performance last night in an East Hollywood discotech, the always amazing, always polysexual, A Club Called Rhonda. Hey Hollywood, you can see Little Boots again tonight at the pretty and young, PYT Friday night.

If you're jonsing for more Little Boots, she has a new mixtape—a 'Magical Tropical Mixtape'—available for free when you sign-up for her official mailing list.

Also see, Little Boots at YouTube, where you can watch her intimate bedroom performances, employing the cool-as-hell Yamaha TENORI-ON sequencer, sexy synths and Little Boots charm.

Visit Little Boots on MySpace or at her official site, Littlebootsmusic.co.uk.

More Little Boots in our archive, more Dead Disco too.

romeoerotic Romeo Erotic remixes 80s jams: OBryans Im Freaky, Gary Lows You Are Danger & The Bar Kays Do It / Im Freaky Treasure Fingers Reflip

Fresh out of the gates, L.A.'s Romeo Erotic have hit a soft spot with their remix of O'Bryan's 1983 electro-R&B (some say "Funk") jam 'I'm Freaky'. I caught this remix of an old favorite in the shuffle of Posso the DJ's recent mix and was intrigued. If you don't recall, it goes a little something like this:


MP3: O'Bryan – I'm Freaky (Romeo Erotic Remix)

We weren't the only ones who were intrigued—Romeo Erotic's 'I'm Freaky' got itself a nice rub-down by ATL's bestest, Treasure Fingers too.


MP3: O'Bryan – I'm Freaky (Romeo Erotic Remix / Treasure Fingers Reflip)

Romeo Erotic keeps the recipe by plucking orignals other generations and making lounge-style remixes. Here's more work made from yr mom's favorite, The Bar-Kays 1982 Funky Disco-R&B single, 'Do It (Let Me See You Shake)' and Gary Low's 1982 Italo-Disco single, 'You Are A Danger':

professor genius Professor Genius

Professor Genius is the right hand man to King Morpheus, the ruler of Slumberland. His main jobs are to look after the Princess, Little Nemo, and of course make sure the King's things are in order. However, Professor Genius is also the musical moniker of New Jersey producer Jorge Velez. Jorge creates carefully crafted aural dreamscapes reminiscent of Vangelis and Moroder.

Professor Genius First caught our ear with his track 'Pegaso' released on the Italians Do It Better compilation 'After Dark'. The comp as a whole was a masterpiece itself with IDIB artists like Glass Candy, Chromatics Mirage, Farrah. Professor Genius' Pegaso was a song that really stood out for me.


MP3:  Professor Genius – Pegaso

Listen to this next track and just try to not think about space.

MP3:  Professor Genius – Across The Spree

Professor Genius' new CD is out now and available from www.tropicalcomputersystem.com. Go and get it.

Glass Candy – Geto Boys (Demo)

glass candy Glass Candy Geto Boys (Demo)

From no-wave rock beginnings to the italo disco sensation that they are today, Glass Candy never ceased to astonish with every release. I'm convinced that Johnny Jewel, the man behind the Glass Candy sound is a genius and Ida No, the woman behind that dreamy voice is an angel.

The duo has been know to close out their live sets by singing one of their songs on top of the Geto Boys' 'Mind Playing Tricks On Me' beat. Last month they unveiled a new demo track on their myspace titled 'Geto Boys' which is Ida covering Cyndi Lauper's 'Iko Iko' on top of the Geto Boys beat. The two songs go together amazingly well.


MP3:  Glass Candy – Geto Boys (Demo)

Just posting only one Glass Candy track is a bigger tease than my sister was in eighth grade, and I wouldn't do that to y'all.


MP3:  Glass Candy – Rolling Down The Hills (Spring Demo)


MP3:  Glass Candy – Etheric Device (Demo)


MP3:  Glass Candy – Candy Castle (Demo)

If you'd like to download all of the tour demos that Glass Candy distributed on their tours over the years (complete with artwork) visit the amazing fan site Crystal Migraine.

Glass Candy – I Always Say Yes

Glass Candy

Portland's finest No Wave sexpots Glass Candy go Italo Disco on our asses, but that's OK, because they do it so well. The title track, 'I Always Say Yes', is a dreamy disco cut- I imagine being at a sleazy club, fading and gazing into the DJ lights after sniffing lines and lines of grade-A cocaine with hookers. On the B-Side is 'The Chameleon', less dreamy and much darker than it's counter part. There's an instrumental and an a cappella, and the a capella is not really an a cappella- more like a really detached, stripped down version of the track.

This is hot shit.


MP3: Glass Candy – I Always Say Yes

And if you're not in the know, Glass Candy is playing tonight at Club Donuts. If you got five dollars & a bike I expect to see your ass there. I'll be one of the dudes crammed in the front of the stage drooling profusely.
