Kiss In Cities
Manchester’s Kiss In Cities are Laura Marsden and Joe Sross of Indie-Dance heroes (We Are) Performance (or is it just Performance now?) and make some frighteningly catchy, good ol’ fashioned, honest SynthPop.
Recently signed to digital label Seven Sevens, who are releasing the duo’s limited edition 7”, Kiss In Cities wear their love of everything 80’s on their sleeves.
The single will be ‘U R My Girl’ which sounds like an upbeat, saccharine coated, blast from the past and if there is any justice in the world it will be shooting up the charts!

‘U R My Girl’ is released December 14th and can be pre-ordered now!
Two Door Cinema Club can talk!
I Can Talk’ by Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club was one of the highlights of Kitsuné Music’s Kitsuné Maison 8 compilation and yesterday saw the 12” release of the track.
For the Kitsuné release, reMixes are provided by French Horn Rebellion, Moulinex and these two here, by Golden Bug and Crystal Fighters.
I think Golden Bug’s is my favourite, I love the heavy analogy bass throughout and vocoded backing vocals. It’s a old school vocal Electro track guaranteed to make you move. Crystal Fighters’ mix, despite frantic percussion, is more chilled and intricate with a hint of dancefloor bass.

Dyebox reMixed by Dilemn
Boxon Records‘ latest signing, German duo Dyebox (last seen reMixing Zoot Woman) have recently dropped their début EP.
Titled ‘Catch The Looks’ it includes three original tunes and this reMix of the title track by lablemates Dilemn who turn in a bass heavy banger with a Nu-Disco vibe on top of the twitchiness that really suits the vocals.

Soldout Vs. Just A Band
Belgium based noisy ElectroPop duo Soldout have had ‘The Cut’, lead track from last years album ‘Cuts’, reMixed by one of France’s best providers of huge Electro tunes; Just A Band.
Just A Band drop massive distorted synth bass all over the track morphing the track into a powerhouse club killer!

Dato
I was turned onto Dato by Disco Demons yesterday. This Danish two-piece make make modern SynthPop with a decidedly old school flavour (particularly with their basslines!) that will be right up the alley of many of our readers.
The guys have been together since 2007 paying “respect to the keyboards of the past and the ideas of the future” and this track, ‘I Don’t Wanna’’ in particular is a sweet, infections, Electro floorfiller:

Go show Dato some MySpace love!
Diplo reMixes Drop The Lime for B-LIVE
In retrospect, B-LIVE has sent a hell of a lot of good music our way this year. Much of that, in the latter part of the year, has been in the form of a whole heap of storming reMixes of Drop The Lime’s ‘Devil’s Eyes’
Saving the best for last, they are now unleashing this epic reMix by Major Lazer man and superstar producer Diplo. Frantic percussion underlies this summery, party, Electro banger with an exotic flavour. Rapid fire synth stabs and cut up vocals belie what is actually quite a chilled party track…it’s just a chilled party track that has the fever!

And have a go on Classixx’s brilliant disco reMix for good measure too:

B-LIVE’s next offering will be that Van She cover of ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper’, along with a reMix by Holy Ghost!!!. I may actually be salivating in anticipation!!!
Fan Death; another new video!
Fan Death are really pulling out all the stops in preparation for their forthcoming EP ‘A Coin In The Well’!
This is the second video taken from the EP, it’s a weird little story. Creepy, but fun.
We also received this reMix of the previous amazing track off the EP, Reunited’ by Ccenturiess in the electronic rumors inbox. It spaces things out a bit and piles on the Simmonds toms!

‘A Coin In The Well’ is due out January 4th 2010 (my birthday!):
The Golden Filter’s ‘Thunderbird’ video
This week The Golden Filter dropped their 12” ‘Thunderbird” and here we can present the video directed by Warran Wright.
Like the ‘solid Gold’ video there are some stunning visuals at work here:
The 12” also contains this reMix by Villa, and arpeggio driven raw disco track:

We eagerly await an album!
Kids At The Bar evil up Ellie Goulding
The reMixes of Ellie Goulding’s ‘Under The Sheets’ are coming in thick and fast!
Kids At The Bar stopped by the electronic rumors inbox to share with us their amazing take on the tune.
An aggressive and ominous lead line dominates the mix before giving way to some powerful warping bass making the tune 100% darker. If this is dropped at a club it will command you to dance!

‘Under The Sheets’ is out now on.
Fear Of Tigers
December 1st is a date for your diary, as on that day London’s Fear Of Tigers is dropping his new album…for free!
The album, ‘Cossus Snufsigalonica’, will be 10 tracks of, we can expect, original, retro-flavoured, Electro-House that you can sample with this tune ‘The Adventures Of Pippi Longstrump’. It’s a full on, driving, uplifting slice of Pop-Electro-House with a kinda’ end-of-the-movie finale vibe to it.
Diamond Cut step up to the reMix plate and deliver a chilled, spacey, synth rework.
