Flash & The Pan – Midnight Man (1985)
I have always had a soft spot for Teenagersintokyo. Fortunately unlike alot of amazing Australian bands they haven’t been criminally overlooked and are getting a bit of attention. At the moment they are living their probably impoverished dreams recording their debut album in the UK. They are signed to Backyard records with Chromeo, The Gossip and err … Similou.
They go for this great middle ground between post punk and pop music on Isabelle – the first single from their work with David Kosten, who produced Bats For Lashes.

Woolfy is pretty amazing. I’m not going to going into a hyperbole like I did on the Onion Interview, even though it was well deserved. Suffice to say if you like electronic music or just good “indie guitar pop” check out his new album If You Know What’s Good For Ya!!!
Woolfy is DJing tonight at the Edinburgh Castle Hotel in Adelaide.
Winston: Do you consider yourself part of an international “cosmic disco” scene or do you just do what you do without any outside influence?
Woolfy: I look at myself as an international DJ cause I probably get more of my gigs overseas. When I think of myself as part of a crew I think of myself as part of my LA crew and a couple of heads in New York. Like Eric Duncan, Harvey and all the Sarcastic (Disco) guys. Basically that’s what I see myself as fitting within a family of DJs. I have heard incredible things from people like Todd Terje and Prins Thomas. To be compared to those guys is amazing.
Winston: How did you first get into electronic music?
Winston | No CommentsQuarles Baseden and Amélie de Bosredon are Jupiter. To write like the NME they have the enchanting vocals of Sally Shapiro combined with driving energy of Fred Falke. Hopefully my lazy comparison doesn’t put you off as these guys are amazing. Their debut 12” Starlighter comes out Monday (the 14th) and is already out digitally with a cool remix by Bottin.
Winston: How did you guys first get interested in electronic music?
Jupiter: We were more into rock initially, and we didn’t feel so attracted to house music but when Daft Punk started getting big around 96/97 we changed our minds. They were all over the place in France, there was no way you could miss them. And upon hearing their first few singles, you couldn’t help but fall in love with the mix of influences and the novelty of their sound, so we could say that Homework first got us into electronic music.
W: What made you start Jupiter and how did you two meet?
J: We met on holiday through a mutual friend, but we hated each other at first. But we both happened to be studying in London the following year, and we somehow bounced into each other and had a very different feeling than the first time 
At first we were making electro-folk music, with no apparent reason as we were both really into electro, funk and disco. I guess we both played guitar and wanted to get into electronic gear slowly but surely, and it was the best way to do it. Anyway, we quickly realised we had way more fun playing the sort of music we most enjoyed listening to, which sounds pretty logical now hahaha
W: How did you get involved with Valerie Collective?

The Loin Brothers are a pretty sweet act to coming out of Sydney. So far they have released Heavy Helmet a space-y Moroder-like jam. They are playing Saturday the 5th of September at Sugar, which is probably worth your while dropping by to check out.
Winston:How did you guys first get into electronic music?
Saliva: I think the first time I heard synthesizers in music was listening to “War of the worlds” when I was about 8 or so, and was always intrigued how the space sounds were made. When I was a bit older I used to hang out at a studio this country and western band had set up. (the town i grew up in had a population of about 150, so I took what I could get One of the guys brought in this little Korg synth and let me play around on it, and I think from there on i started obsessing about them.
Silvio: An intersting question to answer for me as there are few tunes that I like that are purely electroinc. There is usally a live intrument component to the stuff I like. I got into dance music say 12 years ago tho and have not turned back. Nothing Earth shattering really, just found myself at a dance party, dug the hypnotic grooves and got my dance on.
W: Really love the new single are there plans for anymore?
