Win a limited edition Topman CTRL T-Shirt Designed by CHEW LiPS!!!
Each month Topman pick a current, exiting, UK band to become Topman CTRL Controllers, giving them a chance to share some of their inspirations and current raves on the Topman CTRL site, their month culminating in a headlining gig with a line up hand picked by the band. This month they have really outdone themselves by handing over the helm to awesome ElectroPoppers CHEW LiPS.
Here at electronic rumours we’ve managed to get our hands on a pair of exclusive Topman T-shirts designed by CHEW LiPS to kick off their control of the Topman CTRL site, http://www.myspace.com/topmanctrl, in April.
As is the CTRL way, CHEW LiPS will be headlining a night of great bands and great music hand picked by the trio. Alongside themselves will be Party Horse, Ten Bears and DJ Dan Strange! All this will be going down 16th April at the Cardiff Arts Institute in, obviously, Cardiff.
For tickets and more details check out http://www.topmanctrl.com
To grab yourself one of these limited edition T-shirts you need to follow us (electronicrumor) on Twitter, then copy, paste and tweet the following:
Oh please @electronicrumor, please sort me out with a limited edition @topmanctrl T-shirt designed by the wonderful @Chew_Lips! I wanna win!
Simple as that! Everyone who Tweets will have their name, quite literally, put into my porkpie hat and the winner will be notified via Twitter. We’ll keep things going until Friday 30th April and get in touch with the winners soon after.
CHEW LiPS current album, ‘Unicorn’, is out now and the single ‘Karen’ was released last week.
CHEW LiPS reMix We Are Enfant Terrible
I’d defiantly like to see CHEW LiPS reMixing more, freeing themselves from structured song writing.
This reMix for We Are Enfant Terrible show what potential they have to produce some stunning reMixes. The Electro-Noise-Pop they lay down on ‘Wild Child’ is seriously something we’d like to hear more of!

The ‘Wild Child’ single is out now
CHEW LiPS – Karen video!
CHEW LiPS’ have débuted the video for the next single from their absolutely sunning album ‘Unicorn’, ‘Karen’.
Great song, cool video!
And check out some behind the scenes footage!
The ‘Unicorn’ album is out now and is defiantly a recommended purchase!
CHEW LiPS next single reMixed
The countdown to the release of CHEW LiPS’ début album, ‘Unicorn’, on 25th January has begun! Here’s another reMix to keep you going until then.
‘Play Together’ will be the first single from the album and will feature this reMix by House producers WAWA who turn the ElectroPop track into a Big Room House floor filler with a hint of big trance synths too!

Some CHEW LiPS to tide you over
I honestly don’t think I can wait any more! CHEW LiPS’ début album, ‘Unicorn’, drops in a mere matter of days now!
I know you all feel the same, so to tide you over here is a brand new reMix of CL’s forthcoming single ‘Play Together’ by London’s DJ Jocks which completely changes the song, giving it a early 90’s disco flavour. The FM arpeggiated bassline makes me think of the Arthur Baker reMix of Pet Shop Boys’ ‘In The Night’ (from The Clothes Show!)

‘Unicorn’ can be pre-ordered from CHEW LiPS’ store here.
CHEW LiPS; new non-album track!
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.
CHEW LiPS: Seven
London’s finest, CHEW LiPS, are currently holding down a residency at The Fly Bar and each month they are giving away a free promo CD of a track from their forthcoming album. The day after the show the tracks will be up for free download on their official website.
The first of these is also their next single, released in January 2010, ‘Seven’ and today they débuted the video for the track.
It’s pin picture-tastic!
It’s a fantastic track and just makes the album even more eagerly awaited, although it’s out in January I have a feeling it will be one of the best records of the year.

CHEW LiPS’ ‘Solo’ video
We’ve been waiting for the début release from CHEW LiPS for a couple of months now, it was finally released this week on Kitsuné Music.
Here’s the video:
The ‘Solo’ EP also features reMixes from tEPr and David E. Sugar, it’s in the stores now!
CHEW LiPS
London ElectroPop heroes CHEW LiPS get their first 12″, ‘Solo’, released by Kitsuné Music on the 23rd March.
Kinda’ like Crystal Castles joined by Peter Hook and Róisín Murphy, CHEW LiPS’ rise from ‘just formed’ to ‘getting bigged up by BBC radio and signed to Kitsuné’ has been sickeningly fast 
. All deserved though!

CHEW LiPS are yet to début, but when they do I’m sure you will be able to pick up their stuff at the usual spots.
