Beaumont’s back
electronic rumors fav, Beaumont, has dropped another new track on us, and it’s a corker.
Perfect to these hot summer nights, the Aussie has turned in a smooth Electro-House jam, Mid-tempo with warm bass and arpeggios, the track has a retro lead line that just screams ‘driving thorough the city at night’ montage!
Check it out:

Marina’s not a robot…
Post-Tori quirkpop’s of the moment Marina And The Diamonds are all set to release their ‘The Crown Jewels EP’ soon and the lead track on the EP ‘I Am Not A Robot’ has been given the reMix treatment by The Shoes and Starsmith.
the Shoes turn in a really cool Electro funker which shouldn’t go well with Marina’s vocals…but does, while Starsmith does something a bit more classic ElectroPop, it’s pretty epic with layers of fantastic synth work.

Guess Marina’s not married to Robyn then?
You can pre-order ‘The Crown Jewels EP’ from Neon Gold.
Little Boots album tracks (inc. Phil Oakey!)
Pretty exiting stuff, two tracks from Little Boots’ forthcoming album, ‘Hands’, right here, right now!
Remedy is pure Little Boots, dancefloor electronics that are just that little bit more interesting than your average Pop song and a huge chorus, every bit as infectious as her previous tracks.
But the main event here is ‘Symmetry’, her duet with The Human League’s Phil Oakey, just thinking about it gives me goose bumps. So the track’s bouncing along nicely. Again, it’s proper Boots Pop. Some nice filtered bass and Victoria is working it, then ‘bam’, Phil come in and takes the track to another level. As with his recent collaboration with Pet Shop Boys he seems to dominate the track (I don’t mean that in a bad way!). Loving the 80’s spoken bridge!

I can’t wait for the album release (but then, I would love some new The Human League too!).
The Faint reMixed by La Dolce Vita
We’ve previously featured on of his reMixes here, now La Dolce Vita has dropped three official reMixes into the electronic rumors Inbox. Most interestingly (to me anyway) is a reMix of The Faint’s ‘Forever Growing Centipedes’ from their last album, ‘Fascination’.
Turning a punky garage Electro track into a dancefloor epic the reMix finds a way to perfectly match Fink’s Vocals with a bouncy, almost Italo, bassline and slick production.

LDV has also performed reMix duties for US Electro rockers Innerpartysystem.

Miike Snow’s Animal
Miike Snow hail from Sweden and the US and produce some really quirky ElectroPop with touches if Indie, funk and even Reggae thrown into the eccentric mix.
They are dropping their début album this week and this track, ‘Animal’, is the lead in single. It’s a tune that just washes over you, it’s chilled, unique and set to be one of the songs of the summer.
reMixes on the single are provided by Treasure Fingers, Punks Jump Up and Crookers amongst others. With this reMix Treasure Fingers brings a little Italo vibe to the track.

This is hardcore, bullshit free, boot stomping electro
There’s a lot of reMixes out there, here are three of my favourites and the original extended. Noisia ups the French House flavour a bit while Wire and A1 Bassline keep it strictly Dubstep:
