Jokers Of The Scene’s recent remixes for the likes of Mika, Acid Girls and Burns have been making waves in forward-thinking DJ sets and blog charts alike.

Esthero – Wikked Lil’ Grrrls (CD)

Esthero now is much different than ey was back in 1998, when I was lucky enough to see the “Heaven Sent” video. It looks like there was a decent period in Esthero’s career where ey was deep in the shadows – the album that had “Heaven Sent” on it came out in 1998, and Esthero didn’t come out with anything new until 2004. It may just be the case that…

Gloria Estefan – The Essential (CD)

For me, I always got DeBarge and Gloria Estefan mixed up. I guess it was the general genre in which they played their music, but this 2-CD set goes far in showing why the acts were two distinct and different pieces of music history. I personally had no idea that Estefan had three decades worth of work in the music industry, or that eir collected output would be enough to…

Estee Louder – Ohio’s Best (CD)

The final disc out of a three-disc assault by Diaphragm Records, Estee Louder is by far the most punk and dirt-rock influenced of the three acts. This does not stop Estee Louder from being extraordinarily well-versed with their instruments and the arrangements put forward on “Ohio’s Best”. The two-vocal assault found in “Ohio’s Best” runs parallel with the first X album, even down to the aural similarities enjoyed by “Bob…

Esquivel – The Sights and Sounds Of Esquivel! (CD)

There are only a few lounge tracks that I can honestly tolerate; a disturbing amount of those are re-makes of alternative/popular songs (such as the lounge version of DC Talk’s “Flood”). However, there are some interesting tracks on this album; the amount of experimentation that Esquivel and eir band does, seamlessly moving into the Mexican sombrero dance (without sounding too awfully clichéd) during “La Raspa”. While a number of the…
