Fancy Some Black Light Dinner Party?

One of my favorites from 2011, Black Light Dinner Party, are releasing their full-length Sons and Lovers on September 24th. They’ll be playing some shows up around the northeast. From what I understand, they put on a pretty lively set. Dance.

Give it a run, this title track is a fun little jaunt that starts softly and progresses right into some slow pop jam territory and lets you off the hook easy…

New Track from Black Light Dinner Party

Black Light Dinner Party sent this over yesterday, missed when my inbox went ding for happy tunes. The latest from the rather stealthy project/band out of New York is called “Gold Chains”. The track goes back to the bright but smooth formula of the first release “Older Together”. I keep waiting for the lid to blow, get a peak as to what’s doing in the kitchen, but so far they just keep sneaking these tracks out for the blogosphere to disperse.

I was going to save this one for an overdue IT Department post, but nah. Enjoy!

The IT Department – v0.9

I would like to thank the Council for appointing me the head of the IT Department. The IT Department at Austin Town Hall will be the place for the more electronic side of the industry. IT will cover Electro, Dance Pop, straight up Electronica, whatever. IT will be synth driven, but not always purely synthetic.

This is the beta run with v0.9, so I’ll be taking the chance to catch you up on a few of my favorites of the year so far. This post has some big names, a few unknowns and some pure drum and bass. So click through for tracks from the Horrors, Little Dragon and Amon Tobin as well as a couple newcomers.

Edit: Adding one more track from Casiokids…
