Tesla Boy

TeslaBoy

Tesla Boy hail from Moscow and make some sweet Vocal Electro-House with a strong ElectroPop strain running through it.

This isn’t 80’s influenced SynthPop, this is 80’s SynthPop, just accidently made in the wrong century. Fantastic FM synth leadlines layer over warm analog bass and drums to compliment Anton Sevidov’s smooth soul vocals.

Tesla Boy are currently being championed by the Valerie crew, which isn’t surprising as they have impeccable taste and Tesla Boy would fit in well in their stable.

Tesla Boy have just released their very limited edition self-titled EP, check it out on their MySpace page.

The week in Bangers: 29:03:09

The week in Bangers: While electronic rumors isn’t strictly an Electro-House blog, we do cover a lot of Electro-House that crosses over in to our realm. So many good club tunes and reMixes surface each week we can’t (and wouldn’t) cover them all, so this is a round up of some of the best from the week that we didn’t have time to dedicate individual posts to…

DinoRoboGrafffiti

It’s a week or so old now but the Acid Girls remix of Mini Viva’s ‘I Left My heart In Tokyo’ is still doin’ it, as is FC Kahuna’s work on Noah And The Whale. Youth’s reMix of Elke’s ‘Blue Dream Lover’ is a smooth dancefloor groover in contrast to Esser & A1 Bassline’s noisy Electro/Dubstep flavoured jam. Moving into a more ElectroPop arena is Cinemax with ‘Smudged’, as reMixed be Melee Beats. Bringing things crashing back to the dancefloor is Bit Funk’s take on vitaminsforyou and this weeks big hype magnet, Warp 1.9 by The Bloody Beetroots teaming up with Steve Aoki to seriously rock the place. Finally Curtis Vodka gets made over, by electronic rumors favourites DMX Krew, into a 1988 Acid House trip.

Dollskabeat rising

Dollskabeat

2009 really is turning out to be the year of female fronted Electro, we’re practically spoiled for choice as the acts we’ve been watching for months breakthrough, one after another.

The latest addition, however, is no bandwagon jumper. Belarusian/Scottish Lucy Ross A.K.A Dollskabeat had got something deep and mysterious going on. The singing on her début single ‘Zodiac Rising’ flit from almost operatic to almost rapping creating a landscape of different vocal textures.

Like La Roux, in that they are both 80’s influenced ElectroPop and have unique vocal styles, but with a darkness reminiscent of The Knife and a strong likeness to early Eurythmics, Dollskabeat offers a level of maturity to this year’s ElectroPop scene.

A hypnotic, analog synth laden, invocation, ‘Zodiac Rising’ really gets under your skin.

Having already achieved some exposure and BBC Radio play Dollskabeat is definitely one to watch.

‘Zodiac Rising’ is released May 4th on Optimo Music, until them head on over to the Dollskabeat MySpace to check some other tracks and give Lucy some love.

New Passion Pit!

PassionPit

I was very exited to see this, new new Passion Pit single, in the electronic rumors Inbox yesterday.

Passion Pit whipped up a hype storm last year with their track ‘Sleepyhead’ from the ‘Chunk Of Change’ EP, and well deserved too. ‘Chunk Of Change’ was a little slice of electronic heaven, adored by Indie fans and ElectroPoppers alike.

‘The Reeling’ is a little more polished than ‘Sleepyhead’, a little more focused with some fantastic Synth riffs and horns.

‘The Reeling’ is out on May 11th followed by their début album ‘Manners’ on May 18th.

The Twelves take on A-Ha

A-Ha

As part of a recent Norwegian promotion by Chrysler a few artists reMixed A-ha’s absolute classic ‘Take On Me’, including Brazil’s Nu-Disco demons The Twelves.

The Twelves have previously worked their reMix magic on the likes of New Young Pony Club, Groove Armada, Black Kids and, recently, La Roux.

This reMix keeps the pop structure of the original but injects it with some Electro, Disco magic.

A-Ha have announced a new album in September ‘09 and a return to the SynthPop Sound!

Villians reMix Lykke Li

LykkeLi2

I was determined that I wasn’t going to blog this new reMix of Lykke Li’s ‘Little Bit’, the song had been reMixed to death and when I picked up this reMix, by Villains, over at NME’s Daily Download blog I really wasn’t going to post it…I wasn’t!

Then I listened to it!

It’s now my favourite reMix of my favourite Lykki Li tune, it features some of the most infections, funky, kickin’ synth bass I have ever heard!!!

‘Nuff said:

Annie reMixed by Designer Drugs

Annie

Norwegian ElectroPop Indie sensation Annie’s forthcoming new single has been given the reMix treatment by Designer Drugs, who, it seems, can do no wrong reMix-wise.

The track is given an uplifting Electro workout for a result that is as poppy as it is dancefloor.
