Princeton; :kinema: on the reMix
Our favourite Brigton smooth DiscoPop dudes :kinema: are back with a brand new reMix of LA Indie band Princeton’s ‘To The Alps’.
No having heard the original I can’t compare it but I do know that :kinema:’s soulful electronic Pop sends this track into smooth heaven. With some interesting instrumentation :kinema:’s commented that the track is “Partly an attempt to make a kind of twee-indie-disco version of Coma Cat by Tensnake (in a good, referential and respectful way, rather than in a bad, copying and stealing way 
)”.
♫ Princeton – To The Alps (:kinema: reMix)
It’s always fantastic to hear new music from :kinema: so we’re doubly in luck this week as Drop Out Orchestra have just released their new single, ‘All We Need Is Time’ on the awesome Mullet Records and the track features :kinema: big time, listen to it here.

Class Actress album news
It was announced today that following last year’s amazing ‘Journal Of Ardency’ EP ElectroPop artist Elizabeth Harper, better known as Class Actress, is to release her début album later this year.
To be titled ‘Rapprocher’ the album continues Class Actress’ journey into analog fuelled SynthPop with an authentic 80’s musicality. Check out the opening track, ‘Keep You’ displays Elezabeth’s unique brand of Electro, with the enveloping, chilling, vintage synth sound tempered with her intimate 90’s Indie vocals. A winning combination that leaves us thirsting to hear the album.
‘Rapprocher’ will be released 18th October on Carpark Records.

Goin’ Old School: Nitzer Ebb – Lightning Man
Ah Nitzer Ebb, how much of my youth did you live in my Walkman for? Was ‘Lightning Man’ really 1990?

Shindu’s ‘Happy House’
Kitsuné Music’s latest single release is Belgian act Shindu’s take on Siouxsie And The Banshees 1980 hit ‘Happy House’.
It’s a track that was begging for a modern workover and Shindu have certainly lived up to the challenge. Dropping Topical and Disco vibes over the song works so well. Produced by Moonlight Matters the track is already being tipped to be one of tunes of the summer. London’s ElectroPop double act supreme JBAG take it to the next level though with a huge dancefloor aimed retro monster of a track. With a killer bassline and a constant build to the finale, this records is going to tear up some floors this summer. Herr Styler contribute a deep House mix with a 90’s piano sound that turns the track into a majestic epic.

The Jesterz’ ‘Delorean’
The latest free (yes, I said free!) release for awesome Nu-Disco label Champagne Records comes correct from The Jesterz and their 80’s fuelled ‘Delorean’.
This track is just solid. Feel good electronic Disco vibes bleed out the speakers for some vocoded synthesizer Funk good times. reMixes comes from, amongst others, Mr. Ren Riz, who’s deep Disco grooves permeate every corner of the track only leaving room for more cowbell. This is proper French House goodness for the summer.

Goin’ Old School: Trans-X – Living On Video
It was the future, or 1983. Technology was either going to destroy us or save us. Trans-X’s ‘Living On Video’ was all about synthesizers and stuff! Can you imagine?

Lazydisco; more ‘More Tigers’
Here we have another reMix of Lazydisco’s ‘More Tigers’ to celebrate it’s release today.
This time Japan’s own Astrolabe step up to the reMix plate and deliver a smooth Disco groove with a tiny bit of 90’s House flavour. Alongside reMixes from In Flagranti, C90s, Xinobi, Mirror People, MODE and the Coupons reMix we posted last week this mix stands with a nice 80’s bassline and some sweet chilled vocoding. The whole release is definitely recommended for these long hot nights.

Joakim’s ‘Forever Young’ video
This is the video for Joakim’s new single ‘Forever Young’.
It’s a nice bit of summer Indie-Electro introspection, Joakim says the track is “a song for all the 30-something-year old people out there”.
‘Forever Young’ is taken from the forthcoming album ‘Nothing Gold’, released 20th September on Tigersushi.

Goin’ Old School: Laura Branigan (or) Raf – Self Control
Straight from 1984, here is both Laura Branigan and co-wirter Raf’s versions of ‘Self Control’, both blew up in Europe that year but only Branigan’s made any impact across the Atlantic. I can never decide which version I prefer but both are definitely better than the subsequent covers.
