Welsh Indie-ElectroPoppers Friends Electric new single ‘Golden Blood’ will be released at the end of November.
The video, as with the previous single ‘Wall Of Arms’, was directed by Laura Fry and is a really nice accompaniment to this epic sounding single by one of the UK most underrated bands.
The single is out 29th November. I’m looking forward to catching the guys live alongside Fenech-Soler and Substatic next week in Bristol!
Lindbergh Palace started life as Jonathan Benedict, Josh Harris and some pretty high profile reMixes for the likes of Rihanna and The Killers. Now alongside singer Leah Hayes and Alex Hamadey they are carving out their own unique space in the world of interesting ElectroPop.
Lead by Jonathan and Leah the Brooklyn based outfit have an EP coming out later in the year, this track ‘Scary’ is a perfect example of their audio adventures with analog synthesizers and old drum machines. Musically equal parts Minimal-Synth, ElectroPop and Indie-Electro and topped with Leah’s sometimes wistful, sometimes haunting vocals, all four tracks on the EP are defiantly worth a listen. Particularly the shuffling rhythmd Electro of ‘Starz’ and ‘Day’s Don’t Fade’, which sounds kinda’ like Dreamwave with a New York flavour.
Lindbergh Palace’s début EP is out in December, until the go check them out on MySpace and pick up some of their reMixes:
Fiero are the latest in the long line of top quality Dreamwave and Nu-Disco coming out of California that you should be keeping an eye on.
Made up of DJ Nicky Savage along with fellow DJ and bassist Disco, For Your Health and Punk drummer/guitarist Sam//Aftermath, the trio knock out mixtapes full of smooth Electro party tunes and reMixes with more 80’s ElectroPop and Funk than you could shake an 80’s ElectroPop and Funky stick at.
Checking out their original material, though, is a thing of magic (as they themselves would tell you). Obviously there is a hint of the LA/Binary Dreamwave sound in the mix but they’ve got this strong late 80’s ElectroSoul or DancePop vibe running throughout. ‘Snacks On The Beach’ is pure summer fun, a party jam, a driving jam, a chilling jam. Mixing up a semi-rolling bassline, electro toms and the intertwining of some shimmering lead lines, the whole thing is an synthesizer barbeque with your best friends and finest beers.

Ahead of the proper release of their album ‘Atlantique’ French Electro trio Minitel Rose, one of the best ElectroPop acts around and longtime member of the Valerie crew, have dropped this reMix of Warp Records artist Jimmy Edgar.
Edgar’s strange take on Jazzy Electronica and ElectroPop is an interesting subject for Minitel Rose’s reMix skills who grab the track by the horns and turn it into a rolling Dreamwave epic.

Minitel Rose’s ‘Atlantique’ is out 22nd November on K7! Records.
We’re fans of both Clock Opera and Little Loud here at electronic rumors, so when this little gem dropped in the Inbox excitement followed.
It’s quite a killer tune too. ‘Once And For All’ will be Clock Opera’s next single for Kitsuné Music and Little Loud’s take on the track is a pulsing and shimmering synth workout. Laidback and feel good the sparking lead lines have a pretty euphoric effect.

‘Once And For All’ is released 1st November on Kitsuné Music.
After the whole StardonE are ace business of earlier this week I was disappointed to find that their reMix of The Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘1979’ had reached it’s download limit on SoundCloud, so I got straight onto StardonE to remedy the situation and to be able to share it with you guys.
The track itself reminds me so much of being younger so the fact that someone has done a nice Dreamwavey reMix of it pleases me no end. Taking the hypnotic nature of the original and adding some killer drums, arpeggios, and a sweet little riff is, frankly, pure genius.
Listen, and enjoy:

I must admit, I’d never heard of Saharan Gazelle Boy before, apparently it’s a collaboration between Capybara’s Darin Seal and Sea Change. I’ve never heard of them either. Oh well.
I’m digging the music though, it’s nice and grungy and has an electronic post-punk vibe to it. An early 80’s Indie theme runs throughout but with enough electronics to keep it just the right side of SynthPop.
Check the video for their new single ‘Strange Teen Heart’.
And their previous record, ‘Halfhair Girl’, which is a little early New Order.

‘Strange Teen Heart’ is released next Tuesday.

We enthused about Detachments latest single ‘Holiday Romance’ and we’ve loves some of the reMixes that have come around so far.
Particularly likening this minimal mix by T&A which gives the track more of an electronic post-punk feel with bonus acid squelching and cowbell! Then, halfway though the track the bridge kicks in and the track turns into a really absorbing and listenable analog synth wig-out.
