Working with Kylie is like working with every artist I have ever wanted to and continues to be as exciting and fresh every time we do something new.

As promised, here comes part two of my interview with the sensational producer, remixer, songwriter and musical director (amongst other titles!), Mr. Steve Anderson.

Go ahead and read on to learn about Anderson’s unreleased electro-ballad with Britney (“Grow”) and much, much more Kylie gossip (Unreleased tracks! Scrapped setlist ideas!), as well as Anderson’s thoughts on remixing, the music industry today (including a killer list of artists to watch), and his latest project: Launching his latest chanteuse Elouise into the seemingly impenetrable territory that is North America.

It’s disgusting outside. Absolutely. Disgusting. So why not put up a few streamers ’round the house, strew some condoms and beer cans around, and make your own home the scene to beat tonight?

I think that’s the best course of action for night skies as grim as these…

As usual, take what you’d like, leave what you don’t. I HIGHLY recommend the Friday Bridge track especially…goes down exxxtra smooth.

Hol-uh-day-ee! Cel-uh-bray-eete! Today is my birthday!

Rejoice bitches, because it’s a celebration. And nothing could have started my day off better than a personalized birthday wish e-mail from none other than the ladies of The Aloud.

Alright, so it doesn’t appear to have been written especially for me.

LAY OFF.

In the meantime, enjoy my mishmash of random findings within my inbox! I’ve not listened to most of it (excluding the first!), but I guarantee a majority of it is probably quite nice.

Hey! You there! You feel in the mood for some anthemic electro grunge? I know I am!

With his first major EP Kick N’ Run, Don Rimini is jumping onto the mixing board with his sleeves rolled up, ready to unleash one hell of a set. Pulsating, pumping, and consistently aggressive, the five track package works a bit like being strapped to a ticking time bomb thrown into the line of fire. The grinding synths are unforgivably loud, while the massive, pounding bass bumps drop and drip as quickly as sweat atop the dancefloor.

The beats bouncing off this set are punishingly addictive, combining sweet-toothed old-school synth sounds with prickling, punching electro stings. Ebbing through screaming highs and colossal crashes back down, the compilation is one jittery trip. “Nervous Breakdown” is the highlight for me, heavy with stammering, stunted vocal glitches and glittering nineties club riffs. Then there’s the closer “Hools,” which supplies a cock-and-loaded explosion of dooming, damning electro slices. Certainly able to fit snugly within a setlist featuring MSTRKRFT and Justice, Rimini’s set shows major glimmers of promise for conquering the dancefloor.
