The Pack A.D. is a Vancouver BC duo of ladies that smashes together bits of blues with post-punk and garage rock. New album We Kill Computers is out on Mint Records.

Sia’s forthcom2007’s Dirty South Dance was a defining release for A-Trak a tangible example of the pastiche of his DJ sets. So the second edition, which arrives on May 17, will fall somewhere between a victory lap, a look forward, and another excuse to bug out to expertly chosen rap a cappellas sewn onto expertly chosen club music.

The stomp-heavy hand of German electro child Boys Noize gets quite the slap on Tiga’s remix of “Transmission”—seven minutes of pummeling, to be exact. Whether it’s the grittiest flip of the title track on Boys Noize’s remix EP of the same name is up for debate, but even with Mr. Oizo, James Ruskin, and Djedjotronic in the mix, our money’s on this one. Transmission is out on Last Gang Records now.
