Hailfairy came across LA based Classixx aka Michael David and Tyler Blake on a recent Aeroplane June Mixtape which featured two of their more recent tracks ‘I’ll Get You’ and their remix of one of Phoenix’s new tracks ‘Lisztomania’. Due to copyright infringement from a Boys Choir with the same name, the boys have changed their name from a shocking ‘Young Americans’ and are finally making a name for themselves stateside for their own blend of funky and jazzy electronic beats. Recently they’ve featured on a Kitsune Tape and they’re also doing some support gigs with Justice in LA this October.

This milder blend of synth and jazz based electro has become more popular of late and as much as we love the banging stuff, it’s nice to chill out to these beats ever so often. Check out the two Classixx tracks below as well as Aeroplane’s most recent Soundcloud offering.

Sydney outfit Chris Stracey and Jack Glass AKA Bag Raiders have been making some noize on the upsidedown side of late with their EP’s ‘Fun Punch’ ‘Turbo Love’ and ‘Shooting Stars’.  Regulars at Sounds on Sunday, Field Day and Shore Thing down under the boys are just back from a successful tour of the US and South America.

The boys fit into a  genre of Sydney Electro-Pop with other artists like Cut Copy, Muscles, The Presets and Empire of the Sun. Currently working on their first album, we expect some more addictive tracks from these guys on Modular Records very soon along with a whole of load of their songs remixed.
