ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZ & the Lowbrows

ZZZ - Lion | Out Now on Modular Records

Maybe you remember ZZZ?

Maybe you remember their piano-grunge track called “Lion”? Its sweeping intro and nasty gritty breakdown? Its a shame if you don’t –it was a great track to listen to, but sadly the quality was something to be desired. But have no fear!

ZZZ is now back with a proper release of “Lion” featuring a reprise -”Leonine”- on the A side, and three quality remixes on the B. Bag Raiders and Breakbot are the two big names that I’m sure will recognize, but my favorite of the bunch comes from Toyko based Lowbrows.

Forgoing some of the grittiness of the original, The Lowbrows turn “Lion” into a full on afro-wearing king of the dance floor track. I played it this week with much success, and I think that you too, will have the kids dancing.

And You Thought I Forgot About Like Woah!?

Like Whoa!



Well.. I kinda did. I haven’t posted about them in forever, nor I have received any updates from
them in quite some time. They’re one of my favorite lesser-known producers and I don’t think there’s a remix of original piece of there’s that I haven’t enjoyed.

Backtracking… Trixie and were discussing the awesomeness that is The Presets this morning, her saying they were both a prog house band in disguise and that the Miami Horror remix of “Talk Like That” -while good- is a let down if you’re expecting the original (and I agree with her) and me saying, well, “ZOMG” a lot, honestly. But it made me go investigate some of my other favorite Australian bands and that’s when I though of Like Woah!

There’s nothing on their myspace to indicate it.. but they silently dropped 3 remixes last month and they are all up to quality I’ve come to love and respect from them. Circle.Square.Triangle had the exclusive, so props to them for being cooler than me.
