DM-51

Now for something completely different:

The Miracle Chosuke - The 7/8 Wonders of the World (2003)

DOWNLOAD

Get your dance shoes because this is one ass shaking record. The Miracle Chosuke was a Costa Mesa sextet that played what was basically the embodiment of the whole So Cal hip kid scene with razored haircuts and neon shirts: nasally vocals, twangy guitars, lots of synth, etc. This was their only album and they would break up shortly after with a couple of the members going on to form Bad Dudes.

Dim Mak records was started in 1996 by Steve Aoki who has apparently tricked a bunch of morons into thinking he's a DJ, but I remember when that guy would come out to shows at Koo's. Anyway, Dim Mak has been great at jumping bandwagons: they released post-hardcore in the late 90s, transitioned into that whole garagy post-punk revival scene (this record), and now specialize in flavor of the month electro.
