Our good friend DeeJay Cocoe sent us this live mix he did for a radio station while traveling Greece this summer. It’s a nice eclectic mix of tracks to get you through the day. Come get down and dirty with Cocoe this Friday at THE MIXUP in Long Beach. Listen: Black Athena Mix Download: Black Athena Mix
The drummer from Hubble Bubble turned out to make music under the moniker Plastic Bertrand. This song is perfect and is over before you have time to think that it isn’t.
Download: Hubble Bubble - New Promotion.mp3 Anxiously awaiting the 12″ I ordered from Phantasy Sound to arrive in the post. Named after an infamous Korean urban legend that blames conspicuous deaths on leaving electric fans on overnight, the mysterious London duo make a great noise. A darker, dramatic kind of disco…

Gina X - No G.D.M The Horrors playing tonight at the Fonda with The Kills.
J Mendez - La Discoteca.mp3 (Setlist after the jump) An optimistic ode to “modern living in the 80’s” by Experimental Products, a Delaware band formed in 1982. This particular track features classic lyrics forecasting “science fiction movies coming true, tv pictures with a telephone.” This cut comes off of their 1982 LP from Short Circuit Records.
This track is absolutely lovely. Some disco-infiltration into the the coldwave scene from Liverpool. Lori & The Chameleons were around from 1978 until 1980. The group consisted of a future all star cast featuring local art-student lead singer Lori Lartey and future members of KLF, The Teardrop Explodes and Big In Japan.
