“Here’s something we couldn’t miss. After Alan Palomo (aka VEGA) took the credits of the misterious project Neon Indian, they started getting great responses around. Alongside with the video artist Alicia Scardetta, he recently signed to Lefse Records to release their first album. The debut was named Psychic Chasms, and it couldn’t be more describing. It will only be out in October 13th, but you can already listen Terminally Chill and Deadbeats Summer here (+2 more on their myspace).” - DiscoPunk 7.11.09

“Our buddies in NROTB sent us over their latest original AND their 2 latest remixes to post making this a NROTB triple treat!!

Hailing from the icy lands known as CANADA, NROTB have been hard at work honing and improving their sound. I’ve been impressed each time they’ve sent me a new track, the boys just seem to keep getting better and better.

Their latest original ‘MIAM MIAM’ is their best to date. It’s a fully realized dance track that draws as much from techno as it does circus music. There is something charmingly weird about it that I can’t seem to get enough of. Get it now.”

“Electro outfit Designer Drugs have steadily been cranking out quality tracks and remixes for quite some time now. Iheartcomix picked up on the hype surrounding the duo and here’s the debut single “Zombies!/Back Up In This” (it was released on April 14th). The vinyl version will be released in Europe only but the digital version can of course be found at your favorite online shop. This one packs quite a punch with remixes from Bird Peterson, Nadastrom, Don Rimini and on the digital release additional remixes courtesy of Michael Meds, Nrotb and B. Rich. Dave Nada and Matt Nordstrom provides us with yet another of their top notch bangers, built up around the “Back Up In This” vocal sample and handclaps it manages to be dark and quite menacing but also a bit on the funky tip. Wait for those ravey synths!” - Discobelle 05.01.09

“If Beep Beep haven’t quite figured out how to capture Q And Not U’s urgency or Gang Of Four’s manic screech, they seem more than willing to learn, making Business Casual a promising voice in the otherwise blasé post-punk crowd.” - CMJ Review 4/9/09
