Anthony Gonzalez brought M83 back to town on April 27 at the Vogue Theatre, a set that came replete with bright lights, layers upon layers of ethereal and 80s film soundtrack reference points. Par usuel.

Les Francais sont arrives! Dance duo Justice fed crosses and face-melting dance music to hoardes of kids, including one in a glow-in-the-dark fur coat. The BSR was too sick to attend, so she sent Ash Tanasiychuk in her stead to the PNE Forum on April 26, to snap.

Bear in Heaven – enormous and accessible electro, done well. The Brooklyn trio played Vancouver’s Biltmore Cabaret on April 14. Here’s pics and words from a joyous night.

Nothing like a bunch of fuzzy shoegaze from a legend to help usher in the early hours of a Thursday morning. Pete Kember/Sonic Boom performed at the Waldorf Hotel as part of their electro experimental 3-D Fest and it was GOOD.

House dance music dude and producer SBTRKT (like, opposite of “add”) made his Vancouver debut at Fortune the other night and despite a few clunks, warmed up the sozzled nowhere-to-be-the-next-day late-night crowd.

What do you get when you put 2500 wasted kids in a crappy hangar with six toilets and a line up including 12th Planet, Knife Party and dubstep GOD of black-framed glasses SKRILLEX? A surprisingly good show, actually. Here’s video, words and point n’ shoot pics.

Twin Shadow and his amazin’ stylin’ headfuck of an ’80s sound was in Vancouver on September 28th at the Biltmore Cabaret and so was my camera. Check out the pics and hear his latest track “Changes”.

Darkly brilliant electro pioneers Death in Vegas return after a seven-year gap between albums with something strange and wonderful. Here, we celebrate their arrival by throwing in a few old stories of our own.
