Buffetlibre DJs Announce Lineup for New Project: PEACE

Since the humble beginnings of this site, there has been a constant source of all things rad, charitable and most epic, just throw a few descriptors at you. And who/what is this generous output of briliance, you ask? Why, it's Buffetlibre DJs!


In collaboration with Amnesty International, Buffetlibre DJs present: PEACE, an initiative that will include exclusive songs by musicians from over 50 countries. The goal is to merge a stylistic variety that represent the music scenes from all over, whether they be geographically and culturally distant or near.

Drums of Death - Got Yr Thing (new video!)

Massive tune, of the drum and bass variety, courtesy of Drums of Death! And to accompany the lyrically and aurally amazing punch in the face, we've got the video that will most likely slap ya silly too!


A twisted heartbreaker of a tune taken from his forthcoming Greco-Roman release, Generation Hexed, the video was directed by John Major’s Daughters, which features DoD getting buck in a dance hall.

View it below.



Drums of Death has a handful of US dates left before he jumps across the pond. Check out his 'Space for more info!

twack marks #10 - Dragonette - Fixin to Thrill

It's no lie that I love me some London via Canada electrodancepop, courtesy of the cool cats of Dragonette. With their sophomore album, Fixin to Thrill, now out in their homeland, it was quite evident that there was no way they'd be able to sneak by these Beast's buds without getting properly "twacked".


Dragonette are poised to provoke pleasures, but can they stand up to our eager ears? Let's check it out!

Dragonette - 01 - Fixin to Thrill [deep bass/keyed entry sets tone for album...huge beat drop at :22 secs...unapologetically impressive...A]

Dragonette - 02 - Gone Too Far [electrobilly fun sung by tina with a twang...chorus sounds more in line with typical style...big drums...B]

Dragonette - 03 - Liar [echoed vocals over minimialistic beat & bass makes me melt...enter xylophonic radness...love the backing "ohs"...A+]

Dragonette - 04 - Stupid Grin [campily cool with touch of cabaret flair...signature gritty bass...love the cadence in second prechorus...B+]

Dragonette - 05 - Easy [bending synths...never heard them sound so radly dynamic/different...goes down so smooth...simple guitar outro...A+]

Dragonette - 06 - Pick Up the Phone [harmonic keys and slick 1-2 drumbeat in verse...chorused "oh's" back plea to answer...lovely mid-8...A]

Dragonette - 07 - We Rule the World [saved by key change in the middle eight, this is typical "them"...no particular stand out feature...C+]

Dragonette - 08 - Big Sunglasses [poppier than most tracks on album...punny lyrics regarding sunglasses/execs...dig the breakdown most...B-]

Dragonette - 09 - Okay Delore [simple, short and sweet...will always swoon for handclaps...gets bit "epic-er" during final last 45 secs...B]

Dragonette - 10 - Come On Be Good [there's something "santi" about dubby echoes/layered vocals strewn throughout...as a whole, just eh...B-]

Dragonette - 11 - You're a Disaster [first half focus on vocals & guitar plucks...second half is a new song...very theatrical/dramatic...B]

Dragonette - 12 - Don't Be Funny [immediately drawn to dark key sounds/broodish sultry vocals...chorus perks up...perfect closing track...A]

And that's a wrap! Like you REALLY thought I'd have anything bad to say about the album. While their sound style is not for everyone, for I, along with you dear readers, Fixin to Thrill is easily a "push play and repeat" offering that follows in the international acclaim of their debut.

Remider: Dragonette start their massive US/Canada fall tour this Friday. They'll be in NYC on November 5 at Santos!

Chew Fu and Steve Clisby - Purple Rain (Prince Cover)

Oh holler! Was wondering what BK boy, Chew Fu, had been up to as of late. Seems the talented tomcat has been playing hooky with Aussie artist, Steve Clisby, on a slew of cover fixes that have made me melt and swoon. Well played, lads!


To call Clisby a crooner is a vast understatemnet. The dude has golden pipes with an edge of gruff that pair perfectly with a big Fu beat and backing bass.

Recently, the two joined forces for a cover of Prince's Purple Rain. Clisby also lent vocals to the duo's take on Stand By Me, for which we're giving you 2 massive mixes.

Each sound different, yet equally radical!
