SOLDOUT are from Belgium. They are Charlotte (vox, keyboard) and David (synths, drumbox, computer prog).

ED MUZIK – A Song Falls In The Woods
I dropped this track from Christchurch’s Ed Muzik on my radio show last night and I got a few text messages about it, so I figured I’d share it here…
House-y piano-jabs introduce a sexy-deep synthy bass-line which becomes the plaintiff tale of being a somewhat less-than-known musician – “I do everything I can / Just to make you my fan / But are you listening?” – this is freaking gold, as Ed (real name James, as he reveals in… [More...]

EARTHQUAKE PARTY – stream / download
95bFM have been playing Boston’s Earthquake Party’s “Pretty Little Hand” quite a bit lately – it’s a thrashy, skuzzy little brat of a song – Cheese on Love freaking loves the shit out of it, too.
