OKSURE :: Xylo

Ok, sure I've told you about her before but now the world is sitting up and taking notice and you wanna be in the crew that knew her when.
This track is a year old, but recent 3RRR and TripleJ radio and media attention has brought it back up for me. The rolling dark and twisted beat is signature Ok Sure and there's just enough Depeche Mode echoes to keep me going. You want this.

PURE PLEEAASSUURREE :: Fuck Buttons - Slow Focus [FULL ALBUM - 2013]

Fuck Buttons - Slow Focus

On their third album - Slow Focus, Bristol band Fuck Buttons have really perfected the art of an epic album ... and how could you not create epic-ness with a band name like that. Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power started the group in 2004 after meeting in school. Influenced by Aphex Twin and Mogwai, their first project was creating a soundtrack for a movie by Hung.

Once they started playing live, the created a cult following and were signed in 2007 to All Tomorrows Parties affiliated ATP Records.

Fuck Buttons will definitely take you on a journey. Their music is genre shattering and their achievement is monumental.

Sigur Rós - Brennisteinn

Sigur Rós have released their first track from their forthcoming album, Kveikur. The track - Brennisteinn is a much harder, more industrial sounding track than we've heard from them in the past. The video is literally overwhelming to the senses. Brennisteinn, which translates to Brimstone, is an apt title for this explosive track.

POST EDM :: Five Knives - All Fall Down

In a post-apocalyptic future, the landscape will be ruled by aggro types on roller skates with baseball bats. The soundtrack will be provided by Nashville's Five Knives. Part punk, part electro, part industrial ... Five Knives are all hard-core. They are currently touring and will be part of the Van's Warped Tour starting in June.

You can download their entire premier EP The Rising at http://www.fiveknivesmusic.com/

NEW JOKERS OF THE SCENE / Blank Capsule

There's nothing better than waking up to find a new Jokers of the Scene remix or original has been released. Today it was both. First the remix - Toronto's Sandro Perri teamed up with JOTS to remix Futureactive Kid Part 1 from his album Impossible Spaces. Here's what JOTS Linus Booth had to say in a Now Toronto interview-

How did you end up hooking up with Sandro to do this remix?

I've known Sandro for probably about 10 years now, stemming from an initial bonding over our mutual love of Arthur Russell and Basic Channel records. Even though our musical careers have followed two different paths it was great to get reacquainted with both him and his music after moving to Toronto. Then we found out that he had some remixes in the works already from other mutual friends so we basically asked for the chance to remix something ourselves and he graciously gave us the parts.

Did you take a different approach to this than you would when remixing a dance song?

Very much so. We knew making a dance remix made no sense with his work and as we've been experimenting more and broadening our own sound palette, his song provided the perfect opportunity for us to work on something slower and moodier while still maintaing his perfect pop song.

Sandro Perri "Futureactive Kid Part 1 (Jokers of the Scene remix)" by Jokers of the Scene

Finally, JOTS have teamed with fellow Canadian VitaminsForYou with their new live act project Blank Capsule. They are definitely expanding beyond dance music into an almost goth industrial sound. They've just released a single (which includes 3 tracks) on bandcamp. Have a listen -
