I’ve been thoroughly impressed with what Acephale and the Midnight Juggernauts have done on the ‘This New Technology’ EP and the lead up to the album release. Not only have the Juggers built an intense hype for the recent single (past post) but they have backed it with mixes from some interesting and unique producers such as Nile Delta, Juan Maclean, Memory Tapes and the king of super long licks Emperor Machine.

The Nile Delta Remix in particular ooozes DFA goodness, with heavy riffs and rampant snare making it my favorite. If you want, head over to Acephale Records to pre-order a digital copy or snap up one of the 500 pressed 7′ which will never be repressed again!

Following a lone journey from their humble beginnings in 2005 with the self-titled release, it seems The Midnight Juggernauts are finally delivering a headlining tour to coincide with the highly anticipated album release with a little help from Acephale Records (Salem, Air France, Memory Tapes).

The Juggers, even with absolute star-gaze-cosmic-tunes and sovereign support have been eclipsed for the past few years by other equally talented but more marketed acts. Having toured with Justice in 2007 and playing most if not every major Australian festival it just seems right that things start to shine on their faces.

On first listen ‘This New Technology’ is a busy and crowded track filled to the brim with light drumming, button beeps, anthem organ jam and adventurous vox. The guys haven’t deviated a whole heap from their roots but have modernized the sound to suit a present or future audience.

‘This New Technology’ will be the first single from the rejuvenated and recharged Aussies and will feature mixes from Nile Delta, Emperor Machine and Weird Tapes.

An excentric and mad remix of Acidkids ‘Mitch’ by Emperor Machine, the intro builds and builds… wave after wave of monotonous hypnotic beats pushing and forcing there way into the brain.

They Came From The Stars I Saw Them will be releasing a new EP come September in a very neat and exciting package. Remix duties are from Tronik Youth and King of Town on ‘Rabbit Seal Monkey’ an Emperor Machine Instrumental Dub of ‘Signals’ and Hatchback on ‘The Unstoppable Kite’. DFA fans alike will be happy to plonk this in the HiFi system and chill-blaze-jam.

The new single from the Lost Valentinos ‘Midnights’ has offically been released for free via label Dummy. Featuring remixes by Fan Death and Emperor Machine, the track gets a pretty sweaty workout either way you look at it.

and if your lucky I might have another remix that didn’t quite make the EP… unfortunatly!

EDIT: Bonus track from Le Rouge formally Ash Le Rouge (im still throwing my 2c to change it to Le Rogue already) and pal Serge. Much like a junkie this flows through the same vien as the Fan Death and Emperor Machine Remix with the desired effect, lots of pumpy piano samples and wailing Lost Valentino vocals.
