For years now the Australians have been well ahead of North America in terms of house music output.  Artists from Madison Avenue, Cassie, Kylie Minogue, and Vandalism have been topping mainstream charts with house and electro pop for years now.  This stuff by the now defunct House Boulevard is pretty typical sounding and probably poppy by standard, but it has that ‘euro sound’ that is popularizing nu-disco right now in the US.  As for the Sgt Slick track, I know that it’s from last year but it’s good to find something that isn’t the Crookers style electro sound coming from Southern Europe.  He’s as image conscious as Don Diablo, and exactly what I imagine most Italian DJ/Producers to present themselves as.

Let me know what you guys think.
