The Vanish – Hold On

TheVanish02

I’ve been waiting pretty excitedly for clearance to post these tracks and it has to go and happen when I’m ill doesn’t it! Better make up for lost time!

electronic rumors has been a pretty big fan and supporter of The Vanish since way back when they first crossed our radar (or at least April last year!). The original demo tracks simply blew our socks off. With one foot in Indie cool and the other on the French-House dancefloor they seem to tick every box..in permanent marker!

It seems like it’s been an eternity waiting for these two Australian’s based in New York to get their début single out, but it’s finally here. Monday saw the release of the ‘Hold On’ single on Eye Industries, with both the Original version and the reMixes gaining a respectable amount of national radio airplay herein the UK.

So, here we can preview for you two of the reMixes from the single. First up a reMix by a man who needs no introduction, Russ Chimes, or ‘he-who-makes-the-internet-stop-when-he-drops-a-reMix’. Russ has worked his magic and delivers 100%, chopping up the vocals into an arpeggiated groove and countering that with his huge trademark retro lead synths. When it kicks back in after the drop……that’s the shit right there!

Gemini Club have a tough act to follow, but rise to the challenge admirably dropping a real smooth piano led Disco track with some nice dirty synths…and then going dirty synth apeshit at the end, Great stuff!

I’m sticking to my guns, I may have said 2009 would be the summer of The Vanish, but now I’m definite…2010…summer of The Vanish!

Right, time to stop reading and head to one of the following musical emporiums to get yourself a nice, high quality, The Vanish single, no?

Kavinsky + Lovefoxxx + MMMatthias = Still OMG!!!

Kavinsky03

We’ve already raved about how straight up awesome Kavinsky’s ‘Nightcall’ is, unfortunately there was a little confusion and the track we posted was unmastered so it had to be removed, understandably, leaving you tune free.

So our good friend MMMatthias has stepped up to the plate to save the day and give you something to wrap your ears around until the release of the ‘Nightcall’ EP later this month.

Man, what a reMix he has given us! Still featuring shared vocal duties with Lovefoxxx of CSS it’s a smooth ElectroPop jam with an edge. Loving the builds and drops in his futuristic Pop take on the track.

Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip Get Better

DanLeSacVsScroobiusPip

I gotta’ say, Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip’s ‘Angels’ album is one of my ‘go to’ albums, y’know, when you can’t decide what to listen to, I normally head straight for ‘Angels’. Good music and intelligent witty lyrics, what more do you need?

The end of the month sees the duos second album ‘The Logic Of Chance’ released on Sunday Best and just ahead of it, out now, the single ‘Get Better’, which is surprisingly Italo sounding with a nice 8-bit lead line too. Villa provides one of the reMixes, all synths, cowbells and huge 80’s chords!

Lazersonic & Zak Frost – Levels

Lazersonic&ZakFrost

Looks like the guys at Eye Industries are in for a busy for months, for a start there’s this track, ‘Levels’, the forthcoming single from Lazersonic & Zak Frost.

The duo, who have previously released on Tiga’s Turbo label have enlisted Ali Love to drop some drug fuelled vocals for this part Ambient, part Tech-House, part Dub track.

Electrohead Shadow Dancer backs the track with two reMixes, including this one which kicks it straight to the dancefloor but makes the vocals even more trippy! The remaining reMix is from Kill The Hero and it just builds and builds and builds before setting you free with its bassline.

Jakwob has gone and got his dirty little Dubstep hands on Audio Bullys forthcoming single ‘Only Man’

Probably the hottest Dubstep reMixer around right now, Jakwob totally flips it with a retro 80’s lead line over his usual brand of dark synth Dub.

Relation; Optimistic

Relation

Right kids, I’ve been pretty ill the last few days so I have all these posts mounting up and tonight they are gonna’ drop. We’ve got a lot to get through, so hold on tight!

So, I can think of no better way to kick things off than with Essex SynthPoppers Relation who are gearing up for the release of the second single from their ‘Fear Of Night’ album.

Relation’s slightly house tinged SynthPop mixes some really early 80’s sounding elements, particularly in the vocals and lead lines (think early Depeche Mode) with modern beats and basslines which makes for a compelling combination. The single, ‘Optimistic’, is a smooth, almost SynthSoul, jam that comes with a meaty reMix package. The Laserdisco mix is a minimal, bass heavy take that verges on Dub. The Diogenes Club provide probably my favourite of the mixes sending the track straight into Disco territory. You know all the Dreamwave tracks your playing in your Ferrari driving through the city streets at night? Well, this is the track they are playing at the club you’re heading to! Eat More Cake attack the track from left field with some world music atmospherics that somehow actually compliment the vocals.

New Tron Legacy trailer: Daft Punk’s soundtrack?

Tron fans following the viral marketing campaign promoting the upcoming sequel to 1982’s Tron, Tron Legacy, have unlocked a secret site at http://www.program-glitch-esc.net/ that has HD version of the new, second, trailer ahead of it’s ‘proper’ online début later this week.

Looks pretty fantastic, no? And is that Daft Punk’s soundtrack we can hear in the second half of the trailer? Pulsing synths, distorted drums, sounds good to me!

Being actually in the trailer, I pretty sure we can assume it’s not a fake this time! 😉

Jocks reMixes Ou Est Le Swimming Pool

OuestLeSwimmingPool

The second Jocks reMix of the day!

This time it’s ElectroPop act Ou Est Le Swimming Pool who get the treatment with their brand new single ‘These New Knights’. In the last 12 months Ou Est have gone from SynthPop obscurity to having a huge hit in the form of ‘Dance The Way I Feel’ and a string of high profile live shows. ‘These New Knights’ is a precursor to their début album, scheduled for a June release. Jocks gives us a poppy yet heavy electro workout of the single.
