Now that you’ve worn out “Theme” and “War”, BMX is back with two new tracks!! These are demos and super early but the ideas are all there and the direction is a good one. Total jams. The sound is a little bit more mature but still playful and keeps with the theme…

BMX – “Lunchbox” (DEMO)

BMX – “Love D” (Demo)

BMX is also featured on the new Sisters compilation… check out the promo video:

Like neon dreams, Loose Shus new “Taurus” EP just dropped on Plant Music. You kinda know what to expect on this one… more fuel for your fantasy getaway.

Loose Shus – “Six Minute”

Loose Shus – “Taurus” (Keenhouse remix)

Maybe we’re reaching critical mass on this genre but maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

Digital release at iTunes & Beatport or 12 inch at Groovedis.com. Also check Loose Shus on the Valerie and Friends release (iTunes).

Holmar Filipsson and Klas-Henrik Lindblad aka Sasse have the LP “A Splendor In The Grass” coming out at the end of July. Its a really nice release and the combination of these two has brought elements of deep house, disco, and funk to the table. I had serious trouble picking only a couple of songs to feature here. It’s released through Nang Records.

Filipsson & Lindblad – “Daniel Wang Is My Neighbor”

Filipsson & Lindblad – “Another Plan”

Filipsson & Lindblad – “Happy Birthday Day Jef”

Disco Bloodbath add another winner to their remix arsenal. Bloodbath’s remix of “Pieces of You” builds it up slowly and never quite brings you over the edge but rather leaves you full like a good meal. And thankfully it never loses sight of Wolf Gang in the mix. Lovelovelove the use of guitar in this remix; kinda hoping guitar is making a comeback but not really holding my breath.

Wolf Gang – “Pieces of You” (Disco Bloodbath remix)

The original is out on Neon Gold — I’ve become such a fan boy for this label. Every release is solid.

The Twelves’ 30 minutes mixes are still the most requested and popular mixes on Bigstereo ever. We don’t normally re-up old files, but maybe the holiday weekend is making me feel generous… so quit asking! Get them while you can. Original tracklisting here and here.

The Twelves – “30 Minutes of the Twelves”

The Twelves – “Episode II”

Bonus… here is their 5 minute mix that premiered on Annie Mac’s show last month:

Neon Indian, the Alan Palomo project outside of VEGA, is gaining momentum with the announcement of the release of Neon Indian’s first LP Psychic Chasms on October 13, 2009. Palomo teamed up with video artist Alicia Scardetta who makes up the other half of Neon Indian. I think it’ll be safe to say we can expect something special at their live shows.

Hazy synths and dusty sounds, “Terminally Chill” continues down the same path Neon Indian has led us down from the beginning.

The Hood Internet hooked My Gold Mask up with some Roxy Music for their “Bitches.” Love Roxy Music but like the original it is the siren like chanting that wins over the ears.

My Gold Mask – “Bitches” (The Hood Internet Remix – feat. Roxy Music)

Posted the original back in March — check it if you missed it. Or check out their release on Bandcamp.

When poltergeists take over the party… Riton & Primary 1’s “Who’s There.” Video’s directed by L-VIS 1990. Released on Phantasy.

Oh and yeah… Vitalic is back.

We were introduced to Free Magic by way of his mixtape this past spring. Well Free Magic is back with a remix he crafted with Sapesifter for today the moon, tomorrow the sun. Great upbeat pop gem with some summer night disco undertones:

today the moon, tomorrow the sun – “Never Always Good” (Free Magic vs. Sapesifter Remix)

The next 2 songs have been a couple of my favs from the start of the year.

First the Flight Facilities remix of Japanese band The Lowbrows has piano, horn, and sexed up guitar to die for.

The Lowbrows – “Dream In The Desert” (Flight Facilities Red Tailed Hawk Remix)

Secondly I have the UK’s C90’s remix of Headman’s new one “Dirt.” Dirt features Aussie vocalist Katrina Noorbergen from Sydney band Cassette Kids and is a gem. C90’s mix is the shit. Unfortunately I can only give you a 4 minute long edit (the original remix is 8 mins) but it still is enough to hear the brilliance. Headman’s Dreampiece/Dirt is out July 6th and features the originals, the C90s mix and a mix by the legendary Japanese producer Zongamin.
