Well the first month of the year is done. How much have you accomplished so far? Us here at BigStereo have been up to a lot. You will definetly be informed of everything really soon.

So we have two very good mixes for you guys, one by the DJ tagteam and producers Guns ‘N’ Bombs and the other DJ/VJ team Nomathmatics. We have written about Guns ‘N’ Bombs before and they are already making quite a name for themselves, hailing from Los Angeles Filip Turbotito (Ima Robot, ex Junior Senior) and Johnny Love (Founder of Opaque and Chicago’s Dionysian Prince) create a sound that is fresh to the USA scene. They rocked it out with their first mix and now they are ready to blow you away with mixtape #2. On the other side we have Nomathmatics who is Sheppa and Johnny D. with an occasional guest. They are based in the Midwest and are known to throw quite a party. Here they have a mix for you that will definately prick up your ears.

Both mixes are ready for those who like to dance, move, sway, itch, and scratch.

The Isles - Summer Loans

Melodic records keeps hitting me out of nowhere with these songs I can't get enough of. First all that Pedro goodness, now New York's The Isles, and more on the way.

The Isles new EP, Summer Loans, follows their well-received debut LP Perfumed Lands (though they're better known across the Atlantic currently), and is one of the rare indie rock releases I can listen to over and over and over... and I have. You'd better believe I have. It's three songs, and all three have climbed into my top playcount list in iTunes for January.

Their sound is sweet, warm, and mixes up the bouncy pop sounds you get from an act like Phoenix with some of the darker, driving melodies you'd expect from an Interpol or the like. The songs keep it moving, and every second of all the new music on the EP has its own unique quality that make their new material a wonderful listen. I have no idea what full length these songs will be part of eventually, but I'll be standing outside Other Music the day they open with a limp 10-spot waiting to get mine.

I mean, come on. I don't like indie rock. That often. So it's special to me when I do.

At any rate, you can (and should) go get the CD from CD Universe, or purchase and download the MP3's from Bleep. You can also download several more tracks for free from their website. They have a MySpace page too, but I refuse to link to the exponentially growing trash pile that is MySpace, so there. But you can figure it out I'm sure...

And finally, a music video for the song:
