BACK OFF BITCH! HERE COMES THE STATIC AVENGER

OMG! Where has this song been all my life!  Los Angeles-based producer STATIC REVENGER joined forces with singer-songwriter KAY, a regular Dim Mak collaborator, for the release of "Back Off, Bitch!"  The song that debuted this week features a feisty club beat with a hot-blooded KAY unleashing, Fight Club-ready lyrics.
Stateic Avenger is best known for the platinum-selling, worldwide club hits “I Like That” with Richard Vission featuring LUCIANA and “Happy People,” recently nominated by Fatboy Slim as one of the Top 10 Dance Tracks of the Decade.
 
Trust me, this dirty club-kid dance anthem takes it to the next level. IT IS OUTRAGEOUSY FUN! 
 
The official music video for  "Back Off, Bitch!"—directed by Rev and STATIC REVENGER himself— features an exclusive cameo from Dim Mak head honcho Steve Aoki.

CANADIAN BAND -NOT NICKLEBACK- TO DROP MGMT LIKE ALBUM

The AlbertansUntil recently I had no idea that the Albertans existed, and I can’t imagine why. Oh right, cause they’re Canadian. Just kidding! In all seriousness, they are pretty rad.

The band emerged from the studio for a third time with a new album that explores deeper territory than the off kilter pop hooks they offered in past qworks. Out September 10 on Ernest Jenning Record Co., Dangerous Anything offers a sound that's dark and often challenging while still making previous comparisons to MGMT, CAN, and Sparks as appropriate as ever. So...must be good!

Guitarist/Vocalist Joel Bravo says this record changed the way they approached song writing all together. "We stopped forcing ourselves to be together constantly.  We left each other alone and then when we got together, we wrote everything in the room as a group. And when we got sick of listening to ourselves play, we stopped. The end result is a record I love."

After two years of near-constant touring, the New Zealand five-piece set up home in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles to begin work on the twelve track album. The resulting album, In Rolling Waves, produced by Powers and Short, along with Justin Meldal-Johnsen (M83, Beck and NIN) with co-production on two tracks, delivers darkly nuanced, intricate electro tracks that take you into a synth dream you never want to wake from.

The band will land in L.A. on 27th and perform at the Wiltern.
