Released Monday 13th February on respected ElectroPop label Ninthwave Records (Heaven17/White town/The Modern), the album is the result of nearly a year’s work and features 15 of the some of the best ElectroPop, Dreamwave, Indie-Electro and Nu-Disco around right now. Curated to be a snapshot of the kind of music we write about here on electronic rumors, the release is crammed full of both modern classics and brand new exclusive tracks from the likes of Ride The Universe, Show Your Shoe, beaumont and Echoes.

Site News: Oooo it looks all different!
Yeah, I got bored last night and look! All change. I’m not in any way a graphic designer but I’m pretty busy the next two weeks so you’re stuck with this until at least them!
Anyway, it’s a long weekend here in the UK so I’m not sure how much posting there will be over the next four days, which is a pity ‘cos something tasty just landed in our inbox, but it will have to wait as we’re shutting up shop in twenty minutes to enjoy the sunshine. Might be able to squeeze it in tomorrow.
Have a good weekend y’all!
Brand new Justice track!!! (not a fake!)
Really? You think?
No, of course we haven’t got any tracks from the forthcoming album and anyone who says the have, out side of the Ed Banger/Elektra camp, is probably lying. Fool.
However…while we’ve got you here we’d like to appeal to your humanity for a second and ask you to spare a thought, and maybe some bucks, for our bros over in Japan. Those crazy dudes have enough to deal with cleaning up after all the Godzilla rampages…and now this?!?! The footage of the tsunami was some scary shit, and the rising death toll is even scarier. The Japanese have been dealing with the situation amazingly but I’m sure every little bit you can do to help is appreciated.
The best thing you can do to help right now is to show your support by donating to the Red Cross’ appeal. Which, handily, you can do in many countries. To make it even easier for you here a are a few links:

Apologies to my French brethren, I didn’t have a clue about the Croix-Rouge website, if anyone wants to email us the link I’ll add it.
Go on, in exchange for all my hard work over the past three years bringing you the best new Electro, a couple of bucks and we’ll call it quits!
Edit: I added a red Cross picture! See what I did there?
