Instrumentation reminds me of Whitey, for those that follow this blog know I love Whitey’s sound, mixed in with a 60’s soul guitar play that could have easily found it’s way onto a Beatles track.
This track is taken from I AM OMNI’s free EP titled, “IAMOMNI EP”, which can be downloaded from his site here.
Because I’m going through withdraws of not hearing any new music from one of my favorite artists, Whitey (see previous post here and here), I bring this Whitey produced track for the duo know as The Broken Hearts.
The Broken Hearts are a DJ Duo (Nisha Thirkell and Amber Jane Butchart) with showmanship to the hilt. Their shows are mix of Burlesque,vaudeville, and French Can-can.
bio:
Formed a couple of years ago, THE BROKEN HEARTS are regular DJs at London club nights such as Stunners International,, Rakehell’s Revels, The Grill Rooms, Cafe de Paris and The Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club. Playing an upbeat, eclectic mix of 1920s oddities, ’30s – ’50s swing, ’60s girl-group pop and classic rock’n'roll, the girls have brought excitement to dance floors across the capital.

Catchy as all hell with 60’s inspired northern soul groove. From the get-go, this tune is pure fun and would fit nicely on a motion picture soundtrack me thinks.
From wiki:
The Bees (known in United States as A Band of Bees) are an English band from Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. Although their sound is generally classified as indie rock or psychedelic music, the band have a colourful range of styles and influences, such as 1960s rock, country, reggae and jazz.
Bastian is a trio based in Norway, who have an ominous and dark sound. I stumbled across their music on thesixtyone.com — yet another great find from that site.
Bastian – Kicking in the Morning
Blend up some Goldfrapp,throw in a stock of Ladytron and top off with a pinch of post-punk new wave for a fun concoction called, “The Ropes“.
The Ropes are a duo from New York who have just released their new EP, “Be My Gun”.

Delphic = Rock inspired, electronic fused, with melancholy spirit.
Seems Delphic is starting to creating a stir in early 09, while touring and opening for such groups as Bloc Party and The Streets in the UK. Once they hit states-side, I imagine they will be greeted with open arms.
Here is a vid of Delphic performing live:
Setlist:
1. “Clarion Call”
2. “Doubt”
3. “Sanctuary”
4. “Halcyon”
5. “Submission”
6. “Counterpoint”
In the mood for something dirty — something just told me you would be — well then Whitey should fill the void nicely. Here is the title track from his EP of the same name, “The Made Of Night” EP released earlier this year. If you’re not familiar with Whitey (aka N.J. Whitey), see my previous post for more flavor:
He also just released a new 7″ with two new tracks one of which, “Do The Nothing”, was written and produced by Erol Alkan which you can purchase from Pure Groove. Whitey has another myspace page up here with rare tracks, have a go at it!
