Not intended to feature the latest music out there, my ‘Pick of the Week’ is to simply share & highlight music I personally enjoy regardless of timeframe. This weeks pick is Chilean band Panico, who make catchy (dance/post/disco)-punk that should appeal to fans of bands like !!!, The Rapture, & ESG.

The overall sound of ‘Subliminal Kill’ is very raw, almost like it was recorded live at some crazy house party. ‘Subliminal Kill’ was released on indie French label Tigersushi and was co-produced by electronic music pioneers Joakim & Cristian Vogel.

More cowbell!!!

London’s The Black Ghosts are what’s right with music today. We are excited to be collaborating with The Black Ghosts and IAMSOUND Records to bring to you, a series of music videos featuring The Black Ghosts music, made by talented filmmakers. Get your stream on!

Over the next two months, Missingtoof and our bigger bro, Big Stereo, will be debuting new videos from The Black Ghosts every Monday (alternating between our site and theirs). This will be building up to The Black Ghosts debut self-titled release on July 8th! I know I’m excited. Will the record be this generation’s “The Sounds of Silence” with a bassline? Perhaps! I’m very optimistic.

We typically avoid using press-release information verbatim, but the sentence explaining the video above can’t be improved on: “An ordinary day in the life of a gay couple of thieves with relationship problems.” The video is directed by young Brazilian film maker, Paulinho Caruso.

The next video, for the single, ‘Anyway You Choose To Give It’, will be premiered next Monday, May 12th, on Big Stereo (it alternates, get it?).

San Francisco native, Public (Nick Marsh) began recording/producing music with a 4-track tape deck at the age of 11. In his teens Marsh played in numerous post-hardcore bands, and in 2004 began an electronic solo project titled: “Marsh”. “Marsh” released one self-titled LP, and two EP’s during the two year span the project lasted for.

After his Marsh project & endless months of toying with samplers, drum machines, and a long list of music programs, Marsh had recorded enough solid material to birth a new project; Public. Despite the recent emergence into dance music, Public has built a large library of original and remixed tracks. Get your mouse pointers on these tracks that will make you want to dance, shake, move and perhaps even lean back.

L.A.’s LAZRtag whom we introduced last month have taken on R&B pop superstar Rhianna for some hot remix love. This is where top 40 meets bottom frequency.

I love this track because it taps into a history of music: One of borrowing, sampling, reusing, reinterpreting—’Don’t Stop the Music’ employs Michael Jackson’s famous chant from his ‘Thriller‘ album 1983 single, ‘Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’‘, which was in turn was nicked from Manu Dibango’s 1972 track, ‘Soul Makossa‘, widely regarded as the first (or among the first) disco record ever. This track is a snapshot of music culture today: LAZRtag recomposing a contemporary pop-princess’ track, who borrowed from the ’80s king of pop, who borrowed from the roots of disco, using Manu Dibango’s jazz and traditional Cameroonian music soil. How far we’ve come:

MP3: Rihanna - Don’t Stop the Music (LAZRtag Remix) (2008)

MP3: Manu Dibango - Soul Makossa (Original Long Version) (1972)

Woah!
