This here is the video for Miami Horror’s forthcoming single ‘Echoplex’.
Directed by Cara Stricker, it’s a dreamy, summery four minutes full of models who all go a bit mermaidy. What’s not to like?
‘Echoplex’ is taken from Miami Horror’s début album ‘Illumination’ out now on Virgin.
Chicago’s Midnight Conspiracy have been responsible for some awesome reMixes in the last year, while we last heard from Gemini Club through their awesome reMix of The Vanish’s ‘Hold On’.
Here we have MC reMixing Gemini Club’s début single ‘Ghost’, throwing into a wonky bass powerhouse. A step apart from their huge Italo reMixes of recent time and, according to their email, a taste of darker and heavier things to come.
All I know is that bass drop slays!
♫ Gemini Club – Ghost (Midnight Conspiracy reMix)
Gemini Club’s ‘Ghost’ drops 24th September.
Seattle band Jupe Jupe are looking forward to the release of their début album ‘Invaders’ in October.
The track they dropped of in the electronic rumors Inbox, Something About Love’ is a, slightly Indie influenced, traditional SynthPop jam. It’s the kind of Depeche Mode influences you’d expect from Modern SynthPop but has more of a individual vibe with it’s nice 80’s-esq lead line which plays off the jangly guitars.

‘Invaders’ is released 5th October.
Lo-Fi-Fnk’s new single ‘Sleepless’ had it’s official video premiered today.
We dropped the track itself last month, which is available on 7”or digital from today, it’s a laidback ElectroPop groove that takes you back to the ‘90’s and the video, directed by Tomas Carlsten & Simon Svéd, had an appropriate late night insomniac quality to it.
‘Sleepless’ is released today on Moshi Moshi.
Just a quick post this morning to start your Saturday with a bang.
Dancefloor demon Louis La Roche has got his mits on the utterly awesome début single from Cardiff’s Bright Light Bright Light, ‘Love Part II’, and drops a 2-step-ish groove awash with Disco riffs. This is sure to be packing the ‘Total Club Hits 2010’ type compilations soon!
♫ Bright Light Bright Light – Love Part II (Louis La Roche reMix)
‘Love Part II’ is released 27th September on PopJustice’s new label PopJustice Hi-Fi.

What a way to start the weekend!!! Thanks to DiscoDust we have got a brand new track from the awesome Electric Youth!
EY have been quite for far too long, apparently holed up in the studio working on new material, as no-one quite does 80’s Pop like Electric Youth. ‘Right Back To You’ is pure genius, uplifting, retro ElectroPop with an amazing chorus hook.
It cannot be understated how good this track is! Enjoy:

Hopefully this means an album is on the horizon!

Readers may remember Australian singer/songwriter Kimbra from her recent guest vocal appearance on Miami Horror’s ‘I Look To You’. Well, now she’s ready to drop her début single ‘Settle Down’.
I gotta’ say, I really like her voice, it’s got a touch of Jazz quirkiness and is reminiscant of Martina-Topely Bird or Annette Strean (Venus Hum). The single has been reMixed by New York’s finest, Penguin Prison, and Chris Glover’s BedroomPop in combination with Kimbra’s soulful vocals is an insanely winning combination, I’d REALLY like to hear more of Kimbra working with electronic music, I mean REALLY!
♫ Kimbra – Settle Down (Penguin Prison reMix)
‘Settle Down’ is taken from Kimbra’s forthcoming debut album ‘Vows’.
As I said earlier this week, I’ve been meaning to write about Error: Operator for a while now.
This London based mystery producer’s début album was released this week so now seems as good as time as any to introduce you lot to some of the most beautifully crafted electronica you will hear this year.
The album, titled ‘Mistakes’, defiantly feels like some kind of loose narrative, despite being mostly instrumental (utilising lots of vocal samples/news snippets/etc…). The distinctive soundtrack element in the music is probably what makes it really stand out, the dubby beats and intertwining synth work only act as a backing for the real work of piano, of violin and of snatches of someone else’s memories that Error: Operator has served back to us in a way that drills into your imagination.
If you want something chilled and thoughtful to see you into Autumn then look no further.
♫ Error: Operator – Mistakes Mk. 1
The album also contain three tracks featuring the guest vocals of Grizzle Emcee, Jane Elizabeth Hanley and electronic rumors fave Bright Light Bright Light. While something that can seem ill at ease with he rest of the album as a whole, taken individually they are some interesting collaborations. The Bright Light Bright Light track ‘July’ is slated to be the next single. Until then check out Error:Operators reMix of BLBL’s awesome current single ‘Love Part II’, which strips the song down into an, almost abstract, cosmic synth experiment.

‘Mistakes’ was released this week, check Error: Operators Facebook page for details of where to purchase!
We’ve already given you a listen to, ElectroPop producer extraordinaire now maker of slick Nu-Disco, Starsmith’s début single, ‘Give Me A Break’/’Knuckleduster’, and now you can check the video for ‘Give Me A Break’.
Maybe I over analyse, but I couldn’t help thinking ‘flippin’ hell, that must have taken so long in editing!’ while watching this stop-motion insanity.
Anyway, it’s really nicely put together and despite it obviously being set in New York (or somewhere similar) it’s got a nice British Punky fell to it. The use of different print processes for the various animations gives it quite a ‘cut-out fanzine’ vibe which might seem at odds with a smooth soulful disco track, but it’s really really not, it works awesomely!
‘Give Me A Break’/’Knuckleduster’ is released 11th October on limited edition 12”.
You know things are going well when even your B-sides have videos!
So, here is the video for the B-side of The Good Natured’s forthcoming single ‘Be My Animal’, a track called ‘Prisoner’.
Directed by Lorenzo Ricciarell the video explores aspects of transformation as TGN’s Sarah moves through an evolution, via make-up, from innocence to grotesquery while the song itself is Sarah’s effort to confront why some lovers have both emotional and physical power over us.
‘Be My Animal’ is released 1st November.
