Seems like it’s been forever waiting for Russ Chimes’s début EP to be released, but now, judging from the EP teaser he’s premiered, it looks like not only do we get an EP, but possibly a mini-movie too!
I do love music videos that tell a story!
The music sounds as top quality as we’d expect from Mr. Chimes too.
the more I watch the video the more exited I get about this release, both musically, and now, visually too!
We’ve got another reMix of LexiconDon’s awesome ‘December Sunset’, a track we’ve featured a couple of times already, this time by label mates NightWaves.
NW’s Josh and Kyle give the track more of an organic groove. Less electronic sounding, more sounding like a jam. Sweeping synths are replaced with organs giving the track a live music feel. The original is one of the best ElectroPop tracks of the year so far and this reMix takes it into the ‘best Pop song’ category too.
Still can’t kill the Simmons rolls though!

Be sure to check out the original track too right here.
If you’re fans of Binary records and that sweet LA SynthPop sound then keep it locked to electronic rumors in the coming weeks, we have a pretty special Binary even planned for y’all!
The album, ‘Pink + Blue’ is due to drop 24th August on dubFrequency/Binary.
Can you even get a smoother jam than this?
Slinky, that’s probably the best way to describe LA team Classixx’s reMix of fellow LA songwriter Pat Grossi A.K.A. Active Child’s latest track, ‘When Your Love Is Safe’. It’s like mid-80’s R&B had a head on collision with Dreamwave in a Roland drum machine rimshot testing facility. And the crowd clapped on…
♫ Active Child – When Your Love Is Safe (Classixx reMix)
Oh the chimes!
Active Child’s album, ‘Curtis Lane’ is out now.
Italian producer and reMixer extraordinaire Monsieur Adi has worked his magic on The Knocks new single.
Released this week, ‘Make Is Better’ is a feelgood summery Indie-Disco-Pop tune that is given the French touch by Adi who allows the track to funk along to a soaring crescendo. That final synth solo is the killer!
♫ The Knocks – Make It Better (Monsieur Adi reMix)
‘Make It Better’ is out this week.
Oh look, Robyn’s doing something badass again!
Heh, the official video for the forthcoming ‘Hang With Me’ single has premiered, and although it’s pretty much just following Robyn and her crew around on promotional tours it’s really nicely shot and seems to work amazingly well with the song, which is a sweet, uplifting, SynthPop ballad.
‘Hang With Me’ is taken from the ‘Body Talk Pt. 2’ album and is out 5th September.
Woah! ‘Vietnam’ was one of the cooler tracks of Crystal Castles’ second self-titled albums, it’s heavy arpeggiated bassline counterpointed with sparkling bells was pretty infections, but Midnight Conspiracy (them of the rad Chromeo and Esser reMixes) have turned it into an awesome Italo influenced Nu-Disco monster!
There’s a lot of 80’s Pop in the mix too, the claps, the lead line, the FM bassline…this is about as perfect a reMix, of quite a disjointed track, as you could get. It even drops some 8-bit sounds toward the end, something for everybody (well, me anyway)!
♫ Crystal Castles – Vietnam (Midnight Conspiracy reMix)
‘Vietnam’ is taken from Crystal Castles second album.
Why isn’t Mr. T signed yet? It’s pretty baffling.
Well, as long as he hasn’t got a record label breathing down his neck he’s gonna’ keep letting me share his tracks with you lot!
His latest I Am Noxious track, ‘Flashback Tears’ may be his best yet, despite the underlying melancholy in his music this track is surprisingly uplifting. this track sounds like it’s moving slightly away from his usual Bedroom Pop style in to an almost Passion Pit/Miike Snow Indie-Electro territory, but with more of a cheeky British edge.
♫ I Am Noxious – Flashback Tears
I’m sure Mr. T has got some more sweet Pop up his sleeve, keep it locked to his MySpace.
The Toto sampling ‘Through The Night’ is one of my favourite tracks on Grum’s début long player.
Now it’s got a video, and it’s pretty hilarious.
Just watch:
The single should be out soon, expect remixes from The Swiss, Tom De Neef, Perseus and Grum himself.
Nu-Disco producers Mighty Mouse are dropping their new EP next month, titled ‘Disco Battle Weapons (Volume 1)’ the EP is set to do exactly “what it says on the tin”.
If these two tracks from the EP are anything to go by they aren’t lying, here is a couple of heavy Disco tinged House tunes with everything you want. Big synths, soaring lead lines, emotive chord progression. It’s all good.
both tracks were written for the duo’s ‘Disco Circus (Volume 2)’ compilation released in September.
‘Disco Battle Weapons (Volume 1)’ is released 16th August.
HURTS have just premiered the new video for the single release of ‘Wonderful Life’ and it’s pretty funny.
In a massive self-referencing in-joke the video appears to be a wake, morning the loss of the crazy dancing lady from the original ‘Wonderful Life’ video, complete with a troupe of veiled dancing girls replicating her moves.
Goodbye crazy dancing lady, you will be sorely missed…
The ‘Wonderful Life’ single drops 23rd August.
