I've been listening to a lot of Jackson and His Computer Band. He's probably my favourite artist at the moment. His album Smash is just so great. He also did a very very good remix of an M83 song called "Run Into Flowers." Look it up if you can....

I just got off a huge Justice kick too. But was turned off of them after I saw them in Montreal. Great music though...

I'm also a big Mum fan. I just saw them a few months ago. I was slightly disappointed with their performance. the last couple of times i saw them were amazing though.

I have not been listening to a lot of new electronic music lately... mostly because I don't get the chance to hang out with my DJ friends and see shows with a more domesticated life these days... poor poor excuse, I know, gotta change that, except now I'm moving out of NYC for several months - if someone knows the pulse of music in Honolulu, let me know, although I'm not expecting much.

Anyways, last real quality stuff I heard was Nautilus "Are You an Axolotl" and "Sketches" but these do not resemble anything new... been out 5+ years now? Can someone suggest something that I should check out today, taking into account that this is what I thought was the penna cotta of electronic several years back?

The Radiohead discbox and the NIN Remix vinyl both came in the mail while i was away. Should be a good start for a bit of fun listening.

That track by Modeselektor called the Darkest Side of the Sun is seriously an amazing track.
