Peter Serafinowicz’s video for Hot Chip’s forthcoming single, ‘I Feel Better’, débuted today and it’s surreally hilarious, check it:
That’s some fucked up shit right there!
Anyone who reads Mr. Serafinowicz’s Twitter feed knows how much fun he had making the clip and how exited he’s been about it so it’s great to it finally sees the light of day.
‘I Feel Better’ is taken from the ‘One Life Stand’ album, out now:
Manchester/Berlin project Popular Damage are gearing up for their first proper UK release of ‘The Royal Fly’ EP.
This track, ‘Exclusive’, is a perfect example of Popular Damage who can take noisy, chaotic sounds and make catchy, even melodic, electronic Pop tunes.
With a bunch of buzzing analog synths and a Post-Punk attitude Popular Damage lay waste to the music landscape with electronic songs that actually rock!

‘The Royal Fly’ is out 3rd May.
Here is the video for Burns new single ‘So Many Nights’.
Appropriately it was filmed over the course of his US tour with Deadmau5 and it’s a pretty stompin’ slice of Electro-House:
‘So Many Nights’ is out not exclusively on Beatport with a physical release coming on 19th April.
UK Electro outfit ZX stopped by the electronic rumors Inbox recently to drop off their reMix of their friends, Fenech-Soler’s, track ‘L.A. Love’.
It’s an interesting reMix, both bright & melodic and deep & dirty at the same time. Taking the soaring retro lead lines of Dreamwave and mashing them into big Ed Banger-esq distorted synths ZX have produced a pretty quality slice of Electro Noise-Pop.

You can head their sound defined on these couple of original tracks, again walking the line between distorted French-House and smooth retro Dreamwave. Defiantly a name to keep an eye on.

Grum has just débuted his latest video. A little funny, a little disturbing, a great Disco tune!
‘Can’t Shake This Feeling’ is our soon.
The good folks at Eye Industries sent on over this reMix of Passion Pit’s now classic ‘Sleepyhead’ by Cassette Club in lieu of their début single, ‘4 Me’.
CC’s Ben Macklin and Tom Hammond bring their own brand of feel-good ElectroPop to Passion Pit’s Indie-Electro with results in a type of, almost hands-in-the-air, Electro (it’s a pity hipsters are far to cool for that!) that’s retro enough to make you smile in reminisce but contemporary enough to shake your booty ‘til it falls off!

Cassette Club’s single is out now with a reMix package forthcoming.
We’re still kinda’ reeling over how addictive Penguin Prison’s ‘Something I’m Not’ is and it’s not even out yet!
So a whole mess of reMixes is gonna’ keep us from jonesing for the single for as while, kicking off with (again!) the Cardiff crew, Friends Electric, who seem to be infiltrating electronic rumors on the sly, not that we mind if they keep dropping Electro monsters like this one! Luxury Living go deep into the subs with this heavy dub/80’s Electro hybrid that has a killer payoff toward the end of the track. Finally Krispin Korg gets straight up funky with a New York disco-esq Dreamwave mix.

Bright Light Bright Light (which I really hope is a Gremlins reference!) is the one-man project of Cardiff based Singer/Songwriter Rod Thomas who absolute passion to create well-crafted Pop music shines through the music from the first listen.
You can tell that Rod has spent a few years honing his craft as, for a DIY production, it’s pretty damn slick. It’s also timed brilliantly, this kind of ElectroPop with an emphasis on songwriting, an ElectroPop revolution of substance over style, is set to blow up this year and Bright Light Bright Light could well be at the head of the pack.
His latest track ‘A New Word To Say’ is a perfect example of this, it’s intelligent yet catchy, danceable yet thoughtful. Essentially it’s been written rather than produced, if you see what I mean? Which is always refreshing in electronic music.
Rod has roped in his friend James Yuill and fellow Cardiff ElectroPoppers Friends Electric (who’s reMix of Ellie Goulding’s ‘Under The Sheets’ we featured way back when) for reMix duties. James delivers a bright retro synth mix that actually sounds like it was fun to make while Friends Electric take it straight to the dancefloor in a French House stylee.
