Kopparberg and VICE Magazine have been hard at work this last couple of months trying to spot the new wave of talented bands, stylists, photographers and filmmakers.
This Wednesday will see the finalists come together for the “Kopparberg Klash Final” at The Queen Of Hoxton for what promises to be a great event. This will be a good chance to see the next big thing to come out of London and I’m sure there will be plenty of cider to go around!
For all you NewYork peeps check out their monthly club night on the first Thursday of every month at Arlo & Esame which is still going strong. Additionally they now host a weekly Wednesday night party at STAY in the Lower East Side.
Check out their take on Ghostland Observatory‘s “Sad Sad City” which keeps the star qualities of the original whilst injecting a Bronski Beat-esque upbeat 80′s feel. They’ve also unleashed a new mixtape via their Soundcloud page.
I don’t usually post mixtapes on Cougar Microbes (preferring to leave that to the experts) but I am willing to make an exception for (Pretty) Girls & Lasers. The NYC DJs have been on my list since they hit me up with their summer set and with a new mix under their belt I figured now is a good time to feature them.
In their own words the ‘Late 2009 Mix‘ is:”mostly upbeat synthpop and light electro with a focus on fun, danceable tunes and high-quality mixes”. Don’t take their word for it though, check it out for yourself at the bottom of this post and play it loud.
The guys are also hosting their monthly party at Arlo & Esme so if you are in New York and looking for something to do this Wednesday I would recommend you click here.
