Pegase is a French producer (the singer of Mintel Rose) who creates tracks that border electro and shoegaze, kind of like M83 (especially the vox) meets the distorted synth that we all know an love. I guess he is trying to get that heavy distorted sound a la My Bloody Valentine but with synths instead of guitars. I hear some Tangerine Dream in his tracks too. Cheers, Electrorash

Nickydigital.com Presents PRE PARTY JAMZ VOLUME 39: Congorock

I was so impressed with Congorock after I saw him open for MSTRKRFT back in October in Boston. So I am really excited about this mixtape that he crafted for Nickydigital.com, everyone check it out!

Congorock on his mix:
I just did a “party” search on my iTunes and grabbed the best ones who fitted the mood of the mix tape! The only one that doesn’t have party in the title its my remix of Romanthony‘s Never Fuck which is yet to be a Friday-night anthem.

I am just back from gigging in New York City so I wanted to put a classic disco Salsoul jam in the end. I <3 NY!

My new Asian Dan intern, @samisateenager suggested that I check out BMX. I’ll let Sam introduce you all to them. BMX is good summer music, definitely feel-good tunes you can just put on and chill in the sun.

“Here is a really cool Australian band I discovered through BIGSTEREO last year, when they didn’t even had a MySpace page. They are producing some really great disco new-wave tracks. The band also remixed Valerie’s Anoraak with his track “Nightdrive with you”. Check out their other tracks at their myspace here: http://www.myspace.com/themetobmx”

Lifelike works his usual production skills on this track. He has definitely grown and found his sound, that Yazoo/80s synth sound. I dig it but not his best remix.
