Scenario Rock: French electro meets classic FM rock
by hbomb203 on April 8th, 2008
Scenario Rock is Frenchman Mehdi Pinson, a self described “rowdy crooner” who you'll recognise from the hit 'Skitzo Dancer' as well as from his guest appearance on Justice's 'DVNO'. But he loves his classic rock just as much as his French electro... [more]
Tommie Sunshine [Audio]: Remix your heart out
Tommie Sunshine's pedigree as a tried and tested remix artist well and truly speaks for itself. Putting his unique 'Brooklyn Fire' touch to a bevy of underground and overground acts over the years, he's a man in demand. [more]
Sony BMG merger to be reversed?
Following their highly publicised merger in 2004, which resulted in the Sony and BMG record labels combining to become the world’s second largest music company, a recent decision by a European court has cast the merger in doubt. [more]

The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name (Soul Seekerz & Tom Neville Remixes)
The Ting Tings are an electro-pop band on the rise. They have had a UK #1 single and their debut album 'We Started Nothing' also launched into the top 30 here. [more]
Donna Summer - I'm A Fire
When we talk about house divas or disco queens, arguably there is only one that sits atop any list that you want to make. That is the woman they call Donna Summer. She has perhaps THE voice that is best suited to the dance floor. [more]
Various Artists - One Love: Smash Your Stereo, mixed by Jason Herd, Andy Murphy & Junior Sanchez
by Kat_in_Japan on September 6th, 2007
Mixed by James Herd, Andy Murphy & Junior Sanchez, ‘Onelove: Smash Your Stereo’ serves up three discs of commercial electro and house that has been knocking the socks off Onelove regulars in Melbourne and is sure to be lapped up across the country. [more]
Even if you’re allergic to cover versions don’t discount this release. Largely in the big band style, with a shimmering brass section, these interpretations are often unrecognisable and all add a devilish twist to the original. [more]
Over the past few years, as the popularity of the One Love stable continues to skyrocket, their annual release has done just as well. [more]
Dope in parts, really disappointing in others, I guess the contradictions of DMX are not limited to his lyrical subject matter. [more]
All in all, a solid package for those who enjoy all styles of house - good for both pre and post club grooving. [more]
There has been a gradual influx of house music releases and compilations by Australian DJ's and artists, so it makes perfect sense that Australia's much loved and well known house club One Love should release the third of their self titled mix CD's. [more]
As they finally prepare to launch the album on the world's biggest dance music market, the UK, Infusion have re-released the album Six Feet Above Yesterday locally with a bonus disc of remixes to also coincide with the recent release of their latest single Natural. [more]
So is this just another commercial house music CD... or something more? [more]
Tim Deluxe calls on the services of the sizzling Sam Obernik once again for his new single 'You Got Tha Touch' on Red Label. [more]
Music giant Sony BMG will begin selling music downloads in the copy-protection-free MP3 format later this month in North America. [more]
Mark Ronson has produced for the likes of Nikka Costa, Amy Winehouse, Robbie Williams and Christina Aguilera, but it wasn’t until 2007 when he released an album of covers called 'Version' that his star really began to rise. [more]
The vocalist sounds very familiar on 'Song 4 Mutya', the latest tune from Groove Armada. I think it may feature the Sugababes, which is no bad thing. [more]
While the enigmatic Shoreditch, London-based producer known as The Freelance Hellraiser is still associated by most people with the burgeoning mash-up scene of a few years back [more]
It’s been far too long between Groove Armada releases. So, when I heard the new single 'Get Down' played on Pete Tong’s legendary BBC Radio 1 Essential Selection show, I was very excited (and somewhat relieved that the boys hadn’t disappeared!) [more]
'Rain Down Love' is your typical Freemasons tracks. Big piano chord riffs, strings, bass guitar, lots of little synthy sound effects, and a strong vocal. However, the track is not equal to the sum of its parts... [more]
The Hiptones - I've Been Loving You Too Long (Mark John, Mr Timothy & Blunt Laser Mixes)
by zeus on October 31st, 2006
Solid, funky, slightly dirty and jiving are some of the words which come to mind whilst I listened to this house delight. Spiced with energy on some mixes, The Hiptones have really delivered what I feel is a potential house classic. [more]
Ok, so who is a closet Australian Idol fan?? Hands up if you are. I’ll admit it, I’ve watched Australian Idol every season and I’ve been a participating voter (yes, there I said it, I watch and vote for Australian Idol… hehe) [more]
Studio B follow up their huge UK hit ‘I See Girls’ with this new guitar-laced anthem 'C’mon & Get It On'. [more]
The Rogue Traders have been one of the most popular chart toppers throughout Australia over the past year. [more]
Grant Smilie and Ivan Gough transform the slick vocal house track Moving Into Light into a peak time hit. [more]
Ah, Freemasons. Once again they have waved the magic remix wand, this time over Black Fras's 'Moving Into Light', and if this release is anything to go by, they're still a group at the height of their powers. [more]
Think early Prodigy meets the Breakfastaz and you're probably halfway to describing the sound of this Brixton based group's follow up to their 'Free the Beast' EP. [more]
Lifted from her second studio album is the single In My Mind, a soulful R&B style slow jam that shows off Heather Headley's amazing pipes. [more]
It was only a matter of time before someone remixed Leo Sayer. This isn't much of a stretch from the 1977 original - good solid disco-house. [more]
The Freemason's Watchin' is an infectious and uplifting funky vocal house number that has already become a global anthem. [more]
Rogue Traders presents Watching You. It's flighty, harmless and destined to be a hit. [more]
A quintessential Jamiroquai track, this is destined for the dance floor. [more]
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last couple of months, you would have no doubt heard the latest offering from the Rogue Traders stable - Voodoo Child. [more]
I'm not a massive hip hop fan, so you'll have to take this review not from the point of an australian hip-hop expert. However I do genuinely like this track, the lyrics are well written and the chorus is catchy! [more]
