Dance rock Can anyone point me in the direction of some good electro/indie/dance record labels? Sort of Soulwax and Death From Above type bands. Cheers in advance.
The best one (in my opinion) is Modular. Home to MSTRKRFT, New Young Pony Club, Cut Copy... Ed Banger is a good label as well. In terms of bands, there's Shitdisco, Hadouken, Pull Tiger Tail and Datarock.
They're playing down here somewhere soon. Dale- Kitsune and Crosstown Rebels are good electro labels too.
Simian Mobile Disco might be ok aswell, the new remix of the Rapture - WAYHU is alright Ivan Smagghe has just left Blackstrobe so they'll be much more gothy now
They've got a new Suck My Deck mix cd out, looks pretty decent. Is it just Arnauld Rebotini now then?
iv just been on the kitsune myspace, i couldnt think of the name earlier on, and thats the sort of stuff im after, cheers. got your hadouken! ticket?
haha i was just guessing - Location: Shoreditch, East London they are playing a couple of dates in europe though...
They are playing the ULU down here. They are also playing the Academy 2 in the toon, early June I think.
yeah that cover is good, its on that radio 1 live lounge album init? some class songs on there The Automatics - Golddigga Lilly Allen cover of the Kooks
Kitsune put some wicked stuff out and some great line ups, haven't heard much from CTR for ages though..
that was out last summer? I don't think they have much substance and have been a bit washed out with all the cheesy 'nu rave' branding, as a result I can't see them having more than 2 albums before the fad dissapears..
To be honest, save for the singles and a couple of other tracks, the album really isn't all that special.
