this/is are a new production duo from sydney and they've already got love and lots of plays from the likes of teenage bad girl, les petits pilous, the bloody beetroots and d.i.m.! so if that isn't enough already, it seems it's my turn to convince you of their greatness.
in fact, this/is are so good that i have bugged them numerous times to hand over their floorfiller 'w.h.s.l. (what happiness sounds like)' and now i finally succeeded! while i haven't been posting much on the more banging and driving side of things recently, mainly because i wasn't excited about anything, i wanted that track by this/is so bad because it's easily one of the best electro tracks i've heard in months! vaguely reminding me of the best days of dada life, 'w.h.s.l.' just seemed so much more energetic compared to everything i checked out recently, so there was no way i was not going to feature it on discodust! enjoy!
this/is - w.h.s.l. (what happiness sounds like)
besides this obvious winner, this/is also provided us with their banging remix for 'burn it out' by just a band which is going to be on the actual release and a minimix showing off their dj skills and passion for mixing.
just a band - burn it out (this/is remix)
this/is - minimix 101
show this/is some love on myspace and watch out for more from them, as i am sure they'll be huge in 2009!

I wouldn't say happiness sounds like this. The second track rocks though !
Okay my comment got deleted, so ill be more constructive.
Is this style of music relevant? Is it even music? Slap some distortion on a synth, cut some vox and arrange in an irritating way, sidechain, compress to hell... dudes made a million bucks off it last year but surely its finally run its course?
A lot of producers could make this kind of music, there is a reason they dont.
anonymous: this track just works on the dancefloor. definitely.
what is relevant? like i am always saying, i am trying to keep a good balance between tracks that just work, innovative stuff, bedroom music and all.
why is it that someone who only wants one of those things always has to express their dislike?
i am not getting it. seriously, man. why are you even spending time on commenting on something you don't feel? just to get someone down?
if i could make songs like this i would..?
sounds like some early data,
the melodies alone on whsl are the most creative ive heard in a while..
yes there is distortion but a good balance id say, good to hear something sounding fresh for once!
and i dont know about the rest of you but i couldnt hear any "sidechaining" in either songs..? Anonymous just sounds like your regular ass hater..
keep it up!
If you create something you should be prepared for people to criticize it. Without that the world would be a really horrible place. If these guys get bummed because some commenter on a blog doesnt dig it, they should just pack it in now.
I guess tracks like this do have their place in a club context, but it would be naive to say this is the 'next big thing' or 'huge in 2k9'.
who is anonymous? what a hater. get a life... lol
i love these guys!
good to see discodust supporting!
cant wait to hear something new from them.
i love their sound and i dont understand why you would want to hate on them.
anonymous: so you already know what they're up to in 2k9, eh?
crazy tracks!!!, finally some good music getting blogged again!
Keep up the great work guys.
Love it or hate it.
Surely something to watch out for in 2009.
thanks for the awesome tracks.
respect!!

Much Love to This/Is

anonymous:
the whole point of constructive criticism is to help them improve by possibly finding any areas they might need to work on in a supportive and positive manner.
your "critique" is completely undermined by the fact that you asked us "is it even music." or "relevant". (implying it wasn't)
The world would be a horrible place if writers, artists, musicians had to put up with your negativity all the time. Why not at least gear your critique towards supporting and helping them if you feel the need to express it? Don't pass it off as being "constructive" you clearly aren't.
awsome music THIS/Is!!! visit euorpe pleeeease!!!
Very nice post! I like it!
10:87 luvs ur work boys!!! :)
breakdown at 1:50 is the cool, rest of the song is alright
THIS/IS you guys rock!!
great write up, they deserve every bit of it...
these guys have got what it takes, great find!
ciao!
This/is insanely great. So many sounds annihilating my brain at once, and it's fantastic.
wow so much hate and love for 2 newcomers!
I must admit, I am sick of seeing and hearing bedroom producers pop up everywhere who make such distorted sounds, with no real structure behind the music.
people like this are popping up all over sydney (only commenting on my own surroundings).
In recent times i have lost interest in these "bedroom producers", however THIS/IS rox, it is only the begining but i can sense a great future for these two guys
keep up the good work!

Keep it up boys :)
This/is rocks, definitely luv it!
AWESUM tuneZ.
