Savage Skulls are in the country for a mad decent party @ good god small in sydney for an intimate and intense gig that is sure to blow the socks off anyone that has the luck off getting a red hot ticket, below is a bio about the guys.

Carli Löf and Måns Glaeser both spent the greater parts of their teenage years sneaking around in the shady backstreets of their home town Stockholm, looking for unexplored graffiti terrain. Frequently bumping into each other in dark alleys and closed subway stations, the youngsters soon discovered a common obsession with bouncy beats and fat basslines. This was in the early nineties, when Carli was busy trying to copy prodigy’s early productions with the primitive sampler he had just bought, while hip hop head Måns was busy getting into trouble in Sweden’s finest music high school. Today Carli and Måns are busy composing fast-paced, elegant and generally ridiculous dance music in their shared studio, and enjoying some well-deserved international success, as a duo as well as on their own, with Måns being the driving force behind some of the hottest parties in Stockholm over the last years, and Carli being one of Sweden’s most in-demand remixers as well as new school rap phenomenon Mapeis tour dj. It is however when these old graffiti buddies work together that their talents really shine through.drawing inspiration from Green Velvet and the classic Swedish loop techno as well as the freshest dancehall riddims from Jamaica.

As the bio says they make some insane tunes and i hear there are a few big names collaborating with the duo in the months to come and a slue of remixes for designer drugs, act yo age, crookers and miike snow. today i have a big party tune for you guys to bounce through to the weekend on, so if you like what you hear and are in sydney this saturday march 6th head down to good god small club @ la campana liverpool street, sydney, details of all acts below.

The Def Starr boys are usually up to some trouble when they aren’t par-taying or playing some COD.

This time taking the robotic out of Daft Punks ‘Something About Us’ and sexualised it up forcing me to almost make love to my mac whilst dripping a mixture of honey and melted chocolate over the both of us.

Sadly without actually being able to do the above i’m forced to post it up with the hopes someone, somewhere pops on a leopard g-string and gets their bad thing on to this.

The Foals have released the single ‘Spanish Sahara’ from the highly anticipated forthcoming Foals album ‘Total Life Forever’ due out in May.

The clip features melodic tones along with ever impressionable lyrics although with a now welcomed guided seriousness.

There’s an emerging trend and acceptance of ambient and class design which is where London project Glass Animals fall into. In a hybrid of The XX, Four Tet, Jack Ladder, Burial and fusion of sound and acid ‘Golden Antlers’ is a mesmerizing track fit for a Sunday.

More so a noise experience then other… so i’ll leave you to diffuse.

Golden Bug is a ferociously talented producer signed to euro label Gomma and homegrown australian hobo heroes Bang Gang 12inch. With rather peculiar remixes and originals Antoine can usually set your track apart or heighten your expectations on the  eve of his releases. The most recent commute from studio to our ears is the The Game/Flamingo EP from Gomma Records with a swagger of mixes across both singles.

As well as grabbing the original for a listen we also peeled some answers from Antoine.

Ubbs: Name, Age, Hometown

Golden Bug: Antoine Harispuru, 31, living between Barcelona and Paris.

Ubbs First Record you bought?

Golden Bug:If I remember well it was a Faith no More single.

Ubbs: What did you want to be when you were growing up? and how’d you end up making music?

Golden Bug: I wanted to produce beats for other bands, still designing toys and sculptures. I got into music going to rave parties in the 90s…and for my 16th birthday I got a Roland TR808 drum machine, so I started programming beats. Then I decided to buy a sampler and create little songs.

Ubbs: With France being a seemingly endless pool of talent was it hard being recognised as a producer?

Golden Bug: I mainly play out of France, I’m signed on Gomma, I’m doing tracks and remixes for Bang Gang so I’m not really into the french music scene. I have a lot of good friends producing good music in Paris, though, and it’s true that its full of talented producers but there is space for all if you do good music.

Ubbs: Do you get to party all the time being signed to fun labels like Gomma and Bang Gang?

Golden Bug: Aaah, not really. I spend a lot of time in the studio and in clubs and when I go out I go to good restaurants, bars and sometimes I go clubbing when there is a good Dj or a cool band there, but I’m not addicted to it.

Ubbs: Lastly a bit of fun, if you could trade places with anyone for a day who would it be and why?

Golden Bug:I’d love being a professional surfer like Laird Hamilton end dropping from a big big wave.

Destined Records is run by head honcho Matt Schwartz who also manages to slip some home-grown tunes into the mix with alias Dada. They also get a bunch of play from fellow filter-bros Grum, Fear of Tigers and Russ Chimes which makes sense considering the awfully french vibe on there releases.

In a rather flattening move Super Mal has smoooshed a couple things on Dada’s original ‘Majestic 12′ and turned it into a Burns-esque tune, with throbbing bass with simple and catchy quays.

Not sure if it’s getting a release but grab it for a listen.

Was just thinking that Teen alone will grab me 40,000 extra hit’s from the interwebz for all the sickos out there looking for the good stuff and generally speaking you will… Just more so in the form of french/canadian Amy Aubrac-Prince.

Post smitten by being called cowboi and her love of the ramones it seemed logical to actually check the sound waves sent over. For such a young producer it was enjoyable to hear fun music, not the usual death-electro-core but real gravy train tunes with flare and character.

i know i know phoenix have been remixed to death but i thought the album was that good that this remix needed to be posted to show off the skills of a duo from the south of sydney where the talent is not that great bar a few exceptions, polographia have just started to dj in the sydney scene, they dj music from the ever growing nu-disco genre with productions along the same lines drawing influences from canyons, holy ghost and the like.

the boys say they have an ep that is going to be released soon but no mention of when. this remix is down tempo with slow vocals over a rolling synth that you just cant get enough of.

The Lab was an initiative run by Tooheys Extra Dry late last year in an almost wildly drafted plan to find an artists/musician/band to fly over to New York and work and record with renowned producer Mark Ronson. With only a week and a half for entries it would have almost seemed by pure chance would an ideal sound make the cut that would ride out the entire process long enough, to come to fruition and be released to a universal audience.

The final band as selected by Mark was of once solo project by Jonti and now quintet Danimals that was likened to ‘The Beach Boys‘ or ‘A Tribe Called Quest‘. After a first listen the band was noted for the unusual characteristics of sound and post recording remembered ‘..listening to it and be thinking I’d be so excited to have this song on my own album‘.

What came to light after a full week and many hours spent in the recording studio with visits and guidance from John Taylor of Duran Duran, Alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet, Nick Hodgson of the Kaiser Chiefs, Sean Lennon (son of John Lennon) and  Santigold was a single titled ‘Fox’.

Upon listening to ‘Fox’ my initial thoughts were a modern twist on The Beatles, with carefree up-beat elements of layered melodies and intoxicating dreamy waffle.

The track will come as a free download early March and a cut and branded version on an up and coming TEDs commercial as well as a doco break down come April.

Like elevator music on roids the Loose Shus remix of ‘Magic Missile from boy child prodigy Johnatron on Justin Fausts Bouchemiture label zips and zaps along like no tomorrow. Filled with bottomless bass riffs and high hats stars start shooting from everywhere!

The release is 6 tracks wide including the originals ’sunshower’, ‘blood lines’ and ‘magic missile’ with mixes from Night Drugs, The Phantoms Revenge and Loose Shus.

Taken from Leonardus and Quinton 909’s Heartbreaker ep ‘dreamer’ is something out of the crosby show in that all around feel good vibe. No real floor stomping done here just purely tons of movement in the shoulders and hips… could include roller skates for maximum funk attack.

Still pretty underwhelmed online you should check these dude’s out, Quinton also managed some wave action on Aries of the Binary Bunch.

Canadian producer Ninetynine has re-ignited my love for clashy electro in a time where most everyone and anyone is chopping tracks and totally dis-servicing the music gods.

Taken from two very different music pools Jules has plucked rock bro’s Iron Maiden and modern renaissance man Mr Oizo for selective tuning and proved his skill in creating thumping head thrash remixes.

Both are pretty similar stylistically to fellow canooooks mstrkrft.

Moonchild is a one man disco-bro out of Sydney who has jumped, leaped and flown steps in his ability to create filter-house inspired mixes, bootys and originals. Showing similarities to Duck Sauce, Alan Braxe, Nightriders and Slicker Cities you’d be hard pressed as a fan to pass these by.

His debut original ‘girl’ on Vamp will be released in coming months alongside previous post-ees Vengeance.

Acephale tend to drop releases from the likes of Salem, Air France, Memory Tapes, Memory Cassette and even Australia’s Midnight Juggernauts.. all fitting that weird sorta different but totally listenable tunes category.

Mindreader ft Shyvonne from Kingdom was and is a strange choice for the label but has totally worked in their favour by combing a progressive house tune and fitted with remixes from grimesters like l-vis 1990 and bok-bok (be sure to check their US/UK snack challenge) and then putting their roster to good use and popping cfcf and fellow noise maker Todd Edwards on there.

The result is a track that won’t likely hit the clubs anytime soon but still reveals elements of the original we can appreciate.

Euphorie must be channeling their inner Francais on the production front with giant stabby chords and heavily shaken bass in a similar style set to SebastiAn, Siriusmo, Justice and other Parisian foes.

In a twist they’ve released three originals ‘My Lipids’, ‘Bots Attack’ and ‘Kill The Monkeys’ without the usual get-my-foot-in-the-door remixes of big names tracks that are always bound for some blog love.

Terrific…
