Swedish Indie kooks Shout Out Louds have got their friends Passion Pit to grace their single ‘Fall Hard’ with one of their classic reMixes.
And PP synth the track right up! Layering deep analog basses and lush synth pads Passion Pit have warped Shout Out Loud’s track into a prefect summer synth jam.

‘Fall Hard’ is the first single from Shout Out Louds forthcoming album ‘Work’.
Ghost Hunter have done this atmospheric, chilled out reMix for Merok records artists Comanechi. Their usual guitar heavy noise pop is replaced here with, almost Trip-Hop, electronic soundscapes giving the song a sense of beauty and mystery that the original version never accomplished.

Comanechi’s album is out now.
Essex Indie outfit Magistrates have been given the Electro treatment by the always quality Grum.
A bit more ElectroPop than your usual Grum outing but it’s still got that Grum groove and the whole track works together brilliantly. ‘Gold Lover’ sounds like it was written with this reMix in mind!

Apparently Magistrates have split up, or something.
We’ve been very impressed with many of Diamond Cut’s recent reMixes so when a new one hits the electronic rumors inbox it always makes us sit up and pay attention.
Here he has turned his skills to Lo-Fi bedroom popsters The Candle Thieves and their track ‘We’re All Gonna’ Die (Have Fun)’ turning the quirky Indie-Pop track into a smooth ElectroPop journey that carries you away on sweeping synths whist retaining the intimate feel of the original. Great stuff!

The ‘We’re All Gonna’ Die (Have Fun)’ single is out 29th March on Downtown Records
The good folks at LA based Dreamwave/SynthPop label Binary stopped by the electronic rumors inbox to drop off a bunch of reMixes, some old, some new showcasing the production talents of Andrew Verner A.K.A. Short Circuit just ahead of his début album release.
His reMixes of Keenhouse’s ‘Mecho Maniac’ and The Presets’ ‘Kicking And Screaming’ have been knocking around for a while now but perfectly show off Andrews unique take on the Dreamwave sound, kinda’ like a rawer, more analog version take on the genre.
He’s also dropped two new reMixes of 80’s classics Def Leppard’s ‘Foolin’’ and Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat it’, which display a more urgent, almost more aggressive, evolution to his style.

Andrew has been locked away in his studio for months and Binary will be releasing the results very soon.
We posted about Cavaliers Of Fun a while back, including the track ‘Secret Galaxies’. We were pretty impressed with the mashing up of Space-Synth, Dreamwave and Chiptune and some good solid songs.
‘Secret Galaxies’ has been given a banging work over by Canada’s ¡borracho! which kinda’ holds on to the ElectroPop feel but introduces some hardcore dancefloor elements.

electronic rumors fave, Penguin Prison, has reMixed Indie/alternative singer Jack Peñate’s track of last year ‘So Near’ and effortlessly made it his own.
Creating a funky, soulful, ElectroPop gem, this could be a PP track. It so different from the original whilst keeping the song structure and making it sound like it was always written to be an ElectroPop track. Genius!

Penguin Prison has such a huge year ahead of him!
Chinese Christmas Cards are a duo of breakthrough artists from Barcelona who won Levi’s Unfamous Music Awards 2009.
They produce some infections and quirky Indie-Electro-Folk-Pop that’s almost like a Spanish The Postal Service, without all the moping around. ‘Welcome To Life’ is their new single and it’s four minutes of uplifting, interesting songwriting based around cheap synths and acoustic guitar. It’s well worth a listen if you’re in a whimsical mood!
