S’up Peeps?
Right, rather than leave you in an Electro void for months like last time (soz!) I thought I’d give you a heads up.
The lack of posts this week is going to extend into the weekend, I’m moving house, leaving Hip Camden Town for my beloved Bristol. It’s a cross country move so there’s loads to sort out and shit-loads of packing to do!
Your normal service resumes next Tuesday…Monday if you’re lucky!
Take it easy!
Ever since we got our hands on that radio rip of Van She covering Blue Öyster Cult’s ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper’, we have been waiting impatiently for it to drop. The Bacardi B-LIVE folks have been telling us they were releasing it soon soon, but it never seemed to come soon enough!
Well, it’s finally here and, to be honest, it was worth the wait. Those huge Van She bass and lead synths are back! This is easily the best version of this song I’ve heard, Van She’s Indie-Space-Disco is prefect for it!

On 7th December Depeche Mode will release the double A-side single of ‘Fragile Tension’ and ‘Hole To Feed’ which will include a whole host of reMixes including contributions from Laidback Luke, Hervé, Popof and Peter Bjorn And John.
Kris Menace also steps up for reMix duties both as himself and in his Love On Laserdisc guise. We were really impressed with LoL’s début EP and here they provide one of the best Depeche Mode reMixes for a long time (DM reMixes can be a bit hit and miss!).

‘Fragile Tension/Hole To Feed’ comes out on Mute Records Ltd.
Ever since Mille’s reMix of Marina And The Diamonds ‘Mowgli’s Road’ I have had a thirst for all reMixes Mille.
Swedish Indie Pop act The Sound Of Arrows hare next up for Mille treatment and as per-usual he walks a big spacey line between Electro-House and Dreamwave. Here he mixes up 8-bit sounds, huge 80’s lead lines and some crazy side-chaining!

The Sound Of Arrows’ ‘Into The Clouds’ single is out now and go show Mille some MySpace love!
Marina And The Diamonds forthcoming single (her first general release?) ‘Hollywood’ has had it’s video débuted, It’s as witty, anthemic and quirky as you’d come to expect from Marina. The clip is directed by Kinga Burza:
I’m quite looking forward to hearing Marina’s album, ‘The Family Jewels’ when it drops. ‘Hollywood is out 1st February 2010.

Wow! I forgot about Infusion! A few years ago I was really digging the Australian Dance-rock/House act’s album ‘Six Feet Above Yesterday’, especially the tracks ‘Better World’ and ‘Natural’, they had a real interesting take on edgy vocal House.
Well, they are back with a new single, ‘Tri It On’, taken for their new album ‘All Night Sun Light’ and sees Infusion back on top form. Here’s the video:
The single also come with a bunch of reMixes, including this one by D.Ramirez which mixes up the Indie-Electro sounding original into a big room Deep-House banger.

the album is out now digitally and on CD 26th January 2010.
Gloomy post-punk act O Children have had their single ‘Dead Disco Dancer’ masterfully reMixed by New York Disco heroes The Golden Filter.
Anything The Golden Filer touched seems to turn to …well, gold, and this reMix is no exception. A dark Disco dub tune that really kicks in around the four minute mark.

The Golden Filter have already been picked up by a UK label, Brille Records who will release their début album in the Spring.
It’s that time again, for one of the greatest UK Electro acts around, CHEW LiPS, to kindly give away another free track to coincide with the last of their regular club nights.
This time there’s a twist though, while previous giveaways have been taster of what to expect on their painfully anticipated for coming album, this tune ‘Rising Tide’ won’t be featured on the release and the band have put it up online for a limited time only.
The music here has got an almost Yazoo flavour which works perfectly with Tig’s vocals.

As a bonus, here’s FC Kahuna’s reMix of last months free track ‘Slick’:

The album will be out at the start of next year preceded by the single ‘Seven’ in January.
Love On Laserdisc is a side project of Euro reMixer/artist extraordinaire Kris Menace, who has just dropped his first EP under that name.
The ‘LOLD1 EP’ EP features two tracks, one of which we can preview for you right here. ‘Mainframe’ is a wicked slice of retro Electro, it’s all sweet breakin’ basslines, Simmonds drums and cowbells!
One part Valerie-esq Dreamwave, one part Planet Rock, if this doesn’t get you hauling out the Lino and windmilling nothing will!

‘LOLD1 EP’ is out now!
