New Marsheaux

marsheaux

SynthPop superstars Marsheaux, this week, have given us a taste of what to expect from them in the future. The girls are still in the studio putting the finishing touches to their forthcoming album and this track, ‘Breakthrough’, is the first to be completed.

If this is what we should be looking forward to then we are salivating for the full release! This is, IMHO the best track Marsheaux have ever done!

Absolutely spot-on, no-bollocks, classic SynthPop. This is how it should be done!

Marsheaux defiantly deserve your attention!

Frankmusik Vs. Fan Death Vs. Frankmusik

frankmusik2

Frankmusik‘s new single ‘Better Off As Two’ is set to drop on April 2nd and is exactly the kind of ElectoPop goodness we’ve come to expect from the guy.

Reporting for reMix duty are Italo-Disco-Art-Kooks Fan Death who bring home the storming Disco bacon with this one!

There had better be a vocal version on the single or someone’s gonna’ pay!

The man brings himself some noise on his own reMix.

Sportsday Megaphone

Lo-Fi emotional ElectroPopster Sportsday Megaphone has just unleashed this animated video of his single ‘Meet Me In The Middle’

The single, which was released a month or so ago on Sunday Best Recordings, features reMixes from Kitsune’s David E. Sugar and Max Justus, who ChipTune’s up the whole thing.

But, to be honest, although I do really like those reMixes I still think the original is better.

Sportsday seems more fun than it used to be!

Filthy Dukes’ rhythm

filthydukes

9th March is a date for your diary, ‘cos that’s when Filthy Dukes‘ ‘This Rhythm’ comes out, and its seriously good.

Featuring Late Of The Pier‘s Sam Dust on vocals ‘This Rhythm’ is a huge slice of 80’s influenced ElectroPop. Sam’s vocals are the perfect counterpoint to Filthy Dukes Numanoid disco.

♫ Filthy Dukes (Feat. Samuel Dust) – This Rhythm (Radio Edit) (zShare) (MediaFire)

ReMix duties are covered by Emperor Machine, Toddla T & Fred Falke.

WestEndGirls drop Pet Shop Boys penned track

westendgirls

Seriously, what’s not to like about WestEndGirls?

For starters Isabelle is the daughter of Hans Erkendahl from The Mobile Homes, that makes them SECOND GENERATION SYNTHPOP!!! Who’d have thunk such a thing would ever exist?

Secondly, crazy dresses Swedish girls covering, exclusively, Pet Shop Boys songs…duh?!?!

Well, ‘covering, exclusively, Pet Shop Boys songs’, until recently. Now the girls are ready to release an original tune…written by Pet Shop Boys, how convenient! The track was originally going to be part of PSB’s 2001 musical ‘Closer to Heaven’ but never made it.

You can tell it’s a Tennant track, but I get a Depeche Mode vibe for it as well. See what you think.

♫ WestEndGirls – A Little Black Dress (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘A Little Black Dress’ is released on 9th February, and the girls last album, which is all Pet Shop, all the time, is still available.

The Golden Filter

The Golden Filter have been reMixing like crazy recently, hitting up the likes of Cut Copy, Little Boots & Empire Of The Sun, and now they are ready to drop their début single.

The track itself had been around for a while now and is a chilled Disco stop-starter.

♫ The Golden Filter – Solid Gold (zShare) (MediaFire)

Judging from the photo above The Golden Filer have lifted their identity embargo, hell the mystery didn’t hurt their promotion!

‘Solid Gold’ is released on 16th Febuary on Dummy.

CHEW LiPS

chewlips1

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.

M.I.A. new song-ish

mia2

Well, not really a new song.

Death To The Throne, last seen reMixing Lykke Li have put together this grinding Electro Dubstep Mash-Up/reMix of M.I.A.‘s ‘Bucky Dun Gun’, ‘Pull Up To The People’ and ‘Jimmy’.

Sounds great actually, and new tunes is new tunes!

♫ M.I.A. – New Song (Death To The Throne reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

It’s called ‘New Song’ because, in Death To The Throne’s own words:

“1. It’s made up of small bite-sized chunks of 3 different M.I.A. acapellas; therefore would be far too difficult to write “Bucky Dun Gun” + “Pull Up To The People” + “Jimmy (Death To The Throne Remix)…aka “Bucky Dun Pulled Up The Gun On Jimmy” or something.

2. (God forbid) that if M.I.A. were to ever die, her record label would probably pump out regurgitated crap like this all day long i.e. Tupac, Biggie, etc..

3. It’ll be funny seeing people go ape shit over a post containing the words “New M.I.A. Song.””

Fair enough.

Click, click, ker-ching!
