Who is Bot’Ox?
Who is Bot’Ox? They are actually a a brand new electronic duo from Paris, France. So, most of you will say “great, not another trendy french music again!”. Well, I wouldn’t blame you if that’s what you think with the recent influx of trendy French things. Despite the trend, this duo is worth your time to check out, especially if you’re into electronic music. Bot’Ox is actually a new project from veteran French house scene Benjamin Boguet (alias Cosmo Vitelli) and Julien Briffaz (half of Tekël), so they are definitely no newbie in this game. Their earlier singles were released on labels as essential as DFA, I’m a Cliché, DC Recordings or Marketing and now the improbable duo is releasing its first real album, with the prophetic title – a manifesto of the rushing end of the century – Babylon By Car. It’s scheduled for release on October 23rd and yes I’m looking forward to it. In the meantime check out some of their earlier work.

The new revamped The Rapture is scheduled to make their first ever live show in Jakarta, Indonesia this Friday 30th of September 2010 at Bengkel Night Park. Doors open at 7pm so go get your ticket now and sing along to House of Jealous Lovers!
Where I’m Going
Australian electronic pop band Cut Copy played in Jakarta 2 weeks ago. I didn’t make it to the show but I’m sure it was swell. Anyway, after the full on New Order inspired In Ghost Colours they are going all flower child pop with its rag tag drums, tie-dye melody and those keyboards from “Baba O’Riley” that sound like they could fill the sky. It’s definitely a new psychedelia experience. It’s out via a limited, one-sided 7-inch press on Modular later this summer. The new album? We just have to find out when it ready.
Swoon
The Chemical Brothes have just released their 7th studio album titled Further. The album is the first to be released with corresponding films made specifically to match each of the 8 audio tracks.” The films have been made with long-time visuals collaborators Adam Smith and Marcus Lyall. The album has been described as their most “psychedelic and melodic to date”.
In the meantime check out this remix from Boys Noize for the track Swoon.

MSTRKRFT is the master of their own destiny
After staying quite for a while, our favorite Canadian dj/producer duo is back on the production side. Here’s a couple tunes that will remind you why MSTRKRFT was the darling of the nurave/indie dance crowd. First is a remix of Laidback Luke’s Till Tonight that starts of like typical Laidback Luke production until the swirling lead kicks in and drive the tune into its apex, guaranteeing hands in the air moment anywhere and anytime you hear this tune. The second one is a cheeky remix of The A-Team’s theme. This one is truer to MSTRKRFT sound with its distorted guitar sounding lead and its more rock based composition. All I can say, MSTRKRFT is back!
