Calling In Sick 2008-07-08 00:18:06 As promised, we will continue to post 1-2 artists a week that we feel aren’t getting enough attention in the blog world (or in general). This week, I wanted to take this time to put the spotlight on two Aussies (aka Calling
In Sick) who have mastered the art of the remix, along with some [...]
The Presets 2008-07-06 17:20:27 The Presets are an odd duo (Kim & Julian) from Sydney who consistently put out bangin’ original electro-rock/dance/whatever tracks. What is not to like about these guys? They are finally getting the mainstream credit that they deserve after a long respected run in the underground. Do yourself a favor and go pick up their full length release Apocalypso in [...]
A-Trak & Danger Work Their Magic 2008-07-05 15:31:35
None of us here at jacuzzikillers.com plan on posting much this holiday weekend, because we all have alot going on, but I have had a few requests for more remixes by Danger
& A-Trak. So here are two of my favorites:
First, Danger’s take on Brooklyn rockers We Are Scientists track “Chick Lit“:
We Are Scientists - [...] Read more:Magic
Boys Noize & The Kinks Remixed by Danger & Minitel Rose 2008-07-04 02:21:17 It’s no secret that France & Australia have a stronghold over the electro scene right now. However, the two styles, while similar in some ways, are very different in others. I find Australia’s sound to have more of a rock influence, while the latest French seems to be influenced by alot of 80’s synth-pop and [...] Read more:Danger

Pharrell, Santogold, & Julian Casablancas 2008-07-03 14:36:08 Similar to A-Trak’s full length release for Nike, Converse has followed suit and lined up an all-star cast to create original material as part of a viral marketing campaign to celebrate their centenial anniversary. First up features a collaboration by Pharrell
of N.E.R.D., NYC lyricist Santogold, and Julian
Casablancas of The Strokes. To be honest, [...]
Divsion Kent v. Keenhouse 2008-07-03 14:03:19 This remix of Swiss duo Division Kent’s “L’Heure Bleue” ended up in our inbox earlier this week, and its been on heavy rotation ever since. Check them out on their myspace page, their originals actually remind me a little of LCD Soundsystem (not sure why) with ambient female vocals.

A-Trak & Friends 2008-07-03 00:06:18 Montreal’s A-Trak has become a big name in what seems like overnight. He has always been respected throughout the DJ/hip-hop and even more recently electro communities, but it seems like his recent contract with Nike to produce the next installment in the Running Man series has made him somewhat of a household name (in the blog world at [...] Read more:Friends
Another New Twelves Remix!! 2008-07-02 00:00:21 Legend has it, if you throw a Scandinavian into a pot of boiling water and listen closely with a stethoscope, you can hear that it actually screams in the form of melodic synth-pop. Zeigeist, from Stockholm, Sweden, further perpetuate the stereotype that Scandinavia is the world’s most fertile breeding ground for this special breed of electronic music. Until someone sent [...]
M83 v. DatA - Kim and Jessie 2008-07-01 13:41:21 Do French producers take special government admininstered vitamins to help them continuously pump out melodic dance floor remixes? If so, do you know where I can get some? Maybe its the fact that France repeatedly ranks among the happiest nations in the world - enjoying threesomes and baguettes on a daily basis?
Well whatever it is, Parisian producer [...] Read more:Jessie
Midnight Juggernauts v. Cut Copy 2008-06-28 17:42:46 It’s no secret that Australia’s Midnight Juggernauts have been huge for quite some time now. They’ve been touring the world non-stop playing live shows as well as DJ’ing, while still finding the time to record and produce new material. I just read a great interview over at TheMusic.fm with Vin Vendetta, keyboardist/vocalist of the MJs, and he [...]
Hot Pink Delorean v. Memphisto Odyssey 2008-07-22 10:13:10 San Fran’s Memphisto Odyssey
has been around forever, I think its about 14 years now, through enough ups and downs to make anyone dizzy. They still know how to market themselves though, getting Boston’s Hot Pink
Delorean to remix their new single “Bump“. I’ve been into HPD ever since I 1st heard their remix of [...]
Cazals and Daft Punk 2008-07-21 23:43:02 As any of you who regularly read this blog know, we are suckers for well done covers of our favorite music. For those of you that don’t know Cazals is a UK based member of the Kitsune family, known for cranking out indie rock anthems with electronic influences. Recently, while appearing on BBC 1 Radio, they [...] Read more:Daft Punk
Trash Yourself! 2008-07-21 11:22:27 Trash Yourself
is a boy/girl duo out of Oklahoma who recently spent some time in NYC. They’re no strangers to the scene, working on collaborations with France’s Toxic Avenger & Brooklyn’s own AC Slater. While these tracks could be classified as made for the dance floor ”club bangers”, they are definitely more than just a compressed 4/4 [...] Read more:Trash
I Love The 80’s! 2008-07-20 23:58:48 Honestly, even though its cool to say you do, I really don’t love the 80’s…but I am definitely going to recognize that despite all the $hit that came out of that confused decade, there was some great music made that heavily influences what we all listen to today. The guys over at the Buffet Libre [...]
The Twelves - 4 Original Tracks! 2008-07-20 02:27:48 Even though I didn’t plan on posting anything until tomorrow, a friend of JacuzziKillers.com, knowing we are HUGE fans over here, just sent over The Twelves‘ two latest original tracks. He didn’t say where they came from or verify their authenticity, but I checked their myspace page and they do have these posted as “demos”, so they are [...] Read more:Original
No title 2008-07-18 14:07:27 This post marks two milestones for jacuzzikillers.com. First off, after getting these killer tracks from NRK (formerly New Rave Kids On The Block), I decided it was about time to give Brazil its own catagory on the site. We’ve already posted great stuff by CSS, Database, and The Twelves; now with NRK and tracks coming [...]
Surkin x Chromeo 2008-07-17 20:05:18 Ok, even though I am pretty sure Surkin is only like 12 years old, he holds it down for Institubes. I love everything this guy puts out, reminds me of mainstream US house totally corrupted with French & German style. I’m sure only about .01% of my readers will get this, but I could definitely [...]
Calling In Sick x Heartache + Cujo 2008-07-17 16:26:24 Our buddies from down under, Calling
In Sick, recently put out their newest track, a remix of a Heartache & Cujo collab (found on Electrorash). You can see our original post of their Midfield General remix and original work we posted perviously here. This newest track is an electro/hip-hop marriage that would get a paraplegic [...]
Boy Crisis v. MGMT 2008-07-17 10:55:44 It seems to me like Brooklyn is becoming the mecca for electro/psychadelic/pop/indie whatever you want to call it artists. I don’t really post much that would fall into this catagory, and to be honest, I wasn’t even that into this Boy Crisis
track when I first heard it, but something about this catchy track titled [...]
New Track By The Prodigy! 2008-07-16 22:41:15 I have an entire laundry list of new artists & music I want to post, but all that has to go on the back burner for a second, because I honestly can’t remember I the last time I had a new track by The Prodigy
to be excited about. I know The Prodigy isn’t exactly [...] Read more:Track
Modular Records 2008-08-07 15:25:14 I just heard some pretty upsetting news. Probably my favorite label at the moment, Modular
, reported a net loss of over 6 million Australian dollars last year. They report that it is mostly from investing back into their own growth, but that number seems a little high for that to be the case. Without Modular, [...] Read more:Records
Danger v. Midnight Juggernauts 2008-08-06 09:59:40 I’ve been waiting for this track for awhile, and now that I finally came accross this unlikely meeting between two of my favorite artists at the moment…I can’t say I’m dissapointed in anyway. This is as much a Danger
track as it is the Midnight Juggernauts‘. Easily the best remix of “Into The Galaxy” out there. [...]
South Central x The Phantom’s Revenge 2008-08-05 09:54:39 I know I’ve been a total asshole lately, barely posting, but I’ve been really busy with some other exciting stuff that we are going to announce on this site soon. I wanted to leave you with two great tracks in the meantime though.
First, check out SouthCentral
’s submission to the Buffet Libre Rewind project. It’s [...] Read more:Phantom

The Producers 2008-08-04 14:22:28 I always have alot of respect for artists that have nothing to hide when it comes to their production methods. If you look back through time, all of the biggest acts always had cameras in the studio, showing off how and what they did every step of the way. This lack of insecurity might [...] Read more:Producers
July 2008 Charts 2008-07-30 22:11:25 This is something we’ve wanted to do for awhile, just to give credit to those who sent us in gold…or just to satisfy the stats nerd in all of us.
Most Downloaded Tracks in July of 2008 (in descending order)
1. The Prodigy - Ghost Town (The Specials Cover)
2. DatA - Rapture
3. Boys Noize - Ne.Oh.Pen! (Danger [...] Read more:Charts
The Chimney Climbers 2008-07-30 10:57:03 The Chimney Climbers are a DJ/producer duo from Stockholm, Sweden, who recently spent time in our own NYC putting on some great shows (from what we heard) and making a name for themselves. Even though we couldn’t make it out to see them perform, we did get the opportunity to chat with them a bit, and [...]
Bloody Hell! 2008-07-29 13:13:47 So many questions! Why haven’t I won the lottery yet? Is BUGO (above) a depressed Italian version of the Burger King? Why do The Bloody Beetroots where masks? Is it to cover up the fact that they are really some sort of music mass producing machines? Aren’t they worried about people getting sick of them [...]
Chromeo “Momma’s Boy” 2008-07-28 19:31:24 Chromeo recently dropped their new video for “Momma
’s Boy” and I have to say, as much as I’m not a big Chromeo fan I love this song, and I love the video too. I don’t know why but it really reminds me of the anti-drug campaign video (watch it HERE) that featured a song by Aphex [...]
Computer Club v. Prince 2008-07-28 12:08:33 We first introduced you to Computer
Club not too long ago, when we posted our favorite electro 80’s cover songs. His cover of New Order’s “Bizarre Love Triangle” is arguably the best 80’s cover I’ve heard in a long time, which got me thinking, what has Mike (aka 1/3 of Evol Intent aka Computer Club) [...] Read more:Prince
Fukkk Offf 2008-07-27 23:25:22 Fukkk Offf, out of Hamburg, Germany, has been floating around for a few blog years now (about 10-11 months) and with each release he puts out you can hear him growing as a producer. The first track I had heard by him, done back in fall of 07, was actually for Hamburg indie outfit The Dance Inc.’s [...]
