Beaumont; new track

A man like Beaumont has dropped his latest offering into the electronic rumors inbox, we always look forward to Andy’s tunes here.

‘Surface Mission’ is a really intricate, chilled Electro tune with some sweet bit-crunched and distorted sounds which build up to those Disco synth strings.

Give it a listen!

Go show Andy some of your hard earned MySpace love!

New PNAU reMix

Old track, still a class tune though. PNAU’s ‘Embrace’, with Pip Brown on vocals, has been given a 2009 soup up by Swede Fredrick Carlsson.

Still just as epic, still gives you goosebumps, just with added pump!

‘embrace’ was from PNAU’s 2008 self-titled album.

Penguin Prison reMixed by Monarchy

Neon Gold certainly live up to their name, time and time again they churn out top act after top act.

Here we have a reMix of ‘A Funny Thing’ by London Indie-Synthsters Monarchy who make the track just that little bit deeper.

Steed Lord; ‘Royal Ruffian’ reMix

Iceland’s crazy bassheads Steed Lord have dropped their own reMix of ‘Royal Ruffian’ taken from their album ‘Truth Serum’.

It’s a hell of a lot heavier than the original (now that the original was lightweight!), the lead synths and vocoders remain but the beats and bass hammer through the speakers.

Go check out ‘Truth Serum’ in all it’s Nu-Rave glory!

Name The Pet

Sweeden’s once again at the forefront of ElectroPop jams. Name The Pet is Hanna Brandén who has just dropped her self-titled début album.

Wonky Pop and quirky vocals are the order of the day here. It’s decidedly poppy, but comes across heavier with one foot always square on the dancefloor with touches of Acid and Nu-Disco.

Check it out and see what you think:

New OMD material!

Over on their Official Website, SynthPop legends Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark are giving away a taster of their forthcoming album ‘The History Of Modern’ in the form of a demo of a track called ‘Sister Mary Says’.

It really does sound like classic OMD! More stripped down, minimal and 80’s than some of the 90’s albums. Rhythm, Andy McCluskey’s bass playing and vocals and a screaming lead line, pure OMD gold!

♫ OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark) – Sister Marie Says (2007 Demo.)
