The Thunder from Down Under

All of a sudden there’s a market glut of great indie-dance coming not out of the U.S., Britain, or France… but Australia, of all places. This might have something to do with a cool little New South Wales label called Modular that most of these acts call home, but hey, keeping it in the family is cool, too.

Currently in the frontal lobe of our collective musical mind:

Cut Copy (”Lights and Music,” currently in Y-Rock rotation)

The Presets (”This Boy’s in Love”)

Midnight Juggernauts (”Into the Galaxy”)

Van She (”Strangers,” currently in Y-Rock rotation)

And let’s not forget the legendary sampledelica of The Avalanches (”Frontier Psychiatrist”)
