A Short Film by Cara Stricker and Midnight Juggernauts from Midnight Juggernauts on Vimeo.
“The Crystal Axis” is the MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS second album, their first since Dystopia launched the Australian trio into a vortex of global intrigue. For those who’ve arrived late, like me with this post, Andrew Szekeres, Vincent Vendetta and Daniel Stricker had pursued an organic course through multiple indie EPs, singles and retro-futurist videos before they found themselves hailed as de facto pioneers of a perceived new frontier of indie-dance circa 2007/08. The video at the to showcases all of the above.
For those who prefer things a little less experimental the band has these on offer.

DEEPAK SHARMA + DIETER KRAUSE + AMBIVALENT
Let’s be honest here, the blog world is a tad saturated with electro and frankly, electronic music needs to get back to it’s roots.
Thankfully there are producers like DEEPAK SHARMA and DIETER KRAUSE who consistently turn out techno and tech house to keep me moving in the dim light of those long nights. Setting a new standard, New York City’s HIDDEN RECORDINGS offers a new release that demands attention and brings a sharp focus to the emerging label. What makes label owners’ Deepak Sharma and Dieter Krause “The Great Lawn” noteworthy is not the amazing collection of top shelf remixers, eight to be exact, but that none were affiliated with the label. All eight producers were brought together out of a love of the original source material and a respect for Sharma and Krause’s growing body of work. The diversity of the material on the single spans every inch of the techno spectrum, from deep late night insanity to vintage Detroit analogue electronics.
They sent us the AMBIVALENT remix to share with you. The track adds some stealth and muscle to the release, but at the same time it’s also lean and sinewy. The scant but efficient melodies only serve to feed the beat of what is essentially a build-up record. What is most noticeable about this track are the missing elements that serve as a reminder of the track’s intense starkness, which is exactly what minimal is supposed to do.
