Currently on a European adventure, Melbourne's Murder One has delighted us with his tune 'Outrun'. A jamming electro tune bringing forward his style of dark drifting electro. 'Outrun' is sounding somewhere between Kavinsky and a MOTU artist, as this track gives you the good old, what we call, Lamborghini-feel. With alot of punch and energy this rocking vintage tune is bound to make your dj-set complete. Or even if you're just cleaning your room or walking down the street with your walkman on, this track might make things go just that little bit faster... Anyway, check him out for a dj-set if you're in Europe at the moment. He's doing some shows with Vaillante, AC Slater and many more. Find more info on his myspace!

One night when Sickboy and BAADDD were planned to be playing at a squat party in Canberra, the party got stopped by the police and moved to someone's backyard. It must have been midnight, and so the party continued until neighbours (how Australian) had more than enough. Some of them trying to unplug the band but the party continued. Don't really remember is the police ever came back but I do remember BAADDD playing and an older lady that could be your mum ran in between the girls begging them to stop 'the noise'... BAADDD took a brief break, to introduce their newest member, the ultamite BAADDD-mum. So they continued a few more songs and finished their set short.
But were trying to cut a long story short. Sickboy did get to play but then inside! The walls and doors got slammed by matreses to make it all more soundproof and people got ready for a great imporvised house party! All the lights went out, and only a smoke machine and strobe light were being used to set the perfect atmosphere. People told eachother they thought they were at the biggest rave of all times, while in reality, they were at one of the smallest raves in the world. Yet the atmosphere definatly gave you that illusion. The celebration of freedom and liberty was held high and the party taking unseen hights!
And when Sickboy finished, and people got tired from dancing and jumping, BAADDD dropped some more dj-tunes,... it was still time for Jonny Telafone. And boy, did this music resemble a perfect ending. This was the soundtrack of when it's all over or when it's was all just begining. We all sat together, listened and enjoyed Jonny Telafone. Can't explain the heartwarming feeling he brought to the place. A unique, timid yet brilliant musician from Canberra that definatly left a great impression on Playmaker!
He's working on some new stuff, killer new tune on his myspace. Join the cult and download the first album 'Bottom of the Sea' by Jonny Telafone Seriously, it's better than fucking Joy Division!
Ah! we're always excited when the name Sakura Night pops up. And now we're super excited because Video (interviewed in the first issue of our Playmaker fanzine) has given us a new tune and it's totally awesome. Enjoy! Here's Arcade Run, set to be released soon on a compilation hosted by Franklean.
Royksopp are back with a new album and did a fantastic collaboration with Robyn. Although this song is a little bit jaded - just a little bit really - it tells the story of a certain relationship, being in love with a robot. It's pretty much a call for attention from your lover, stating you won't be denied. And this song definitely won't be denied. What a stand out single this turned out to be. The highlight of their new album for sure. A most energetic collaboration between Norway's finest non-church burners that give a whole new dimension and feel to what a good pop song sounds like, on a perfect ballance between club track and song format. The production is super neat, and besides the lovely vocals from Robyn, the string section is heart-warming like a lovely campfire down in Norway's outskirts.
Are you afraid of the dark? That's the question Nightwolf asks you when he invites you to listen to his music. Well, we're not exactly scared of Nightwolf, infact we love to see more of him! His tune might have a howling feeling and set off as being creepy, but surely enough, cute and soft melodies come out to haunt you aswell, giving us a vibe saying "OK this can be creepy but if you embrace me i will sing for you and make you feel alright" sort-of-thing...
Yeh. that's the feeling we get from this tune. It's new and exciting music from Australia's New South Wales territory. "Theme to Nightwolf" is small but great piece of music and sets us in the right mood. It feels great for an opener of a DJ set and definatly sounds like an opening theme, a theme of something that could be the beginning of something truely awesome.
We're already excited about new material of Nightwolf and you can be sure Playmaker will keep a close eye to this one. But for now, please enjoy Theme to Nightwolf!
Time for another mix in our series of Playmaker Mixtapes. This time we have London's own 80s Stallone bringing you a great mix of classic tunes in a retro-fantastic mix, surely to set the night on fire!
"Come on down, you're on Mean Street" sang a once heavily Jack-Daniels-fueled David Lee Roth, when he was fronting one of history's greatest hard rock bands Van Halen. Nowadays Diamond Dave seems to have cleaned up his act and probably spends his days cruisin down sunset avenue.
All this and more to introduce a new video and remix involving some great talents of the current scene.
First we enter Tally Isham, who has just remixed Futurecop!'s N.A.S.A. And yo, it all makes sense... Since Tally herself was once a N.A.S.A. employee that got struck by Lightning during research, died and came back as an internet entity, collecting knowledge for our enjoyment!
Furthermore we have Mean Streets, a DJ / Filmmaker / Videographer / Video Editor in D.C. that is obsessed with the 80's. with great graphic skills and knowledge of classic imagery. He provided us some great material to enjoy on Tally Isham's version of this classic Futurecop! tune. Here's version 2.0 for ya!
Kenobii is another great project runned by Christopher Robert hailing from New Jersey in the U.S. This one takes us way out there, deep into the ocean and forrest, to become one with nature. Very vegan, intriging and friendly sounds, perfect to start the day. At one time you hear kids on the playground and at other times you hear dolphins and whales, trying to make us aware that everything, eventually, will be OK. It's the sort of down tempo stuff we all need in these times of this electro overload. Now working on a release, kenobii has dropped a few tracks on his myspace, alongside some nice videoclips, which we, gladly show to you, playmakers!
