Check out the brand spankin’ new video for Aeroplane’s second single from the ‘We Can’t Fly’ album, ‘Superstar’.
It’s an ace song, the vocodered vocals and piano work together so well, hella weird video though!
‘Superstar’ is released 13th September on Eskimo Recordings with ‘We Can’t Fly’ following on the 24th.
Nu-Disco groover B-Xentric! should be a name well known to readers of this blog, he’s knocked out some amazing reMixes in the past couple of years, and some cool original tracks too!
He recently dropped his latest jam over on his SoundCloud page and, seeing as he’s gracing my fair city of Bristol with his presence this coming weekend I thought it was high time I shared it with you lot. It’s got the funk more than his previous work, but that’s no bad thing, the rolling sax is pure joy!
Check out one of his tunes of last year, ‘Vide’ too, a proper Disco/Electro floorfiller.
If you’re in the Bristol area at the weekend you could do a lot worse than drag yourself down, check the Facebook event for details.
Damn, you’ve gotta’ love Jagz Kooner reMixes. He always turns in these really deep, electronic, powerhouses.
Pacific!’s forthcoming lead single from their long awaited album, ‘Narcissus’, is his latest victim, transforming the track into a BladeRunner-esq odyssey over a relentless dance beat. It’s an eight minute journey, an analog epic with a distinct beginning, middle and end. A true musical narrative.
♫ Pacific! – Narcissus (Jagz Kooner reMix)
‘Narcissus’ drops 27th September on Alan Braxe’s Vulture label.
Xenomania drummer/songwriter Florrie has a new single out soon, ‘Give Me Your Love’ which, as well as being a nice slice of Pop, will also feature reMixes from habitual Florrie reMixer Fred Falke and the man Justin Faust.
Falke’s reMix is a power Pop track with arpeggios that drag you straight to the dancefloor, but it’s Justin Faust’s reMix that really hooks. From the electro toms onward it’s a crazy good Nu-Disco stormer.

Oh, and Florrie’s a Bristol girl too! Much love!
‘Give Me Your Love’ is out soon.
So we’ve heard Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark eagerly awaited forthcoming single, ‘If You Want It’, we’ve heard the VillaNah reMix, now it’s time for French Horn Rebellion to take the stage and show off their reMix of the track.
From it’s seemingly never ending build to the eventual beat and bass drop it’s clear that the FHR guys had a lot of fun reMixing this track. It kinda’ takes classic OMD and puts it through an eclectic Electro meat grinder and manages to put it back together in a coherent, and catchy way.
♫ OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark) – If You Want It (French Horn Rebellion reMix)
I love the fact that SynthPop pioneers such as OMD are getting such hip names in the current Electro scene to reMix for them, it shows they are still enjoying, and keeping up with, electronic music.
The ‘If You Want It’ single is released 6th September with ‘The History Of Modern’ slated to be released later this year.
Seconds out! Round two! (But first watch part one!)
Director Saman Keshavarz’s mini-movie to accompany all three tracks on Russ Chimes’ forthcoming EP ‘Midnight Club’ continues with part two, ‘Tertre Rouge’.
The story is unfolding, but in even less of a linier fashion than part one. Still, things are coming to light, there’s shit you should know, man! I’ll let you just watch.
Musically this is my favourite track to come from the EP so far, this is like a mixture of classic, Valerie days Chimes and this year’s super reMixer Chimes, and a perfect combination of the two.
The 3rd and final video premieres 9th September and the EP is coming out in October.
Peterborough Synth-House duo are back and dropping their début EP ZX on brand new label Metamimetic this month.
These guys do an ace job of bringing both the Noisy electro-House bangerness of the likes of Justice and the Ed Banger crew and the smooth retro 80’s sounds of the Valerie posse et al. This unique combination makes their music both smooth and powerful at the same time mixing distorted chainsaw synths, retro keys and 8-bit sounds into one, surprisingly melodic, organised chaos. Go check their EP at the Metamimetic webite.
ZX’s ‘High Crimes’ EP is out now.
Sweeden’s kings of SynthPop, The Sound Of Arrows, have worked serious wonders with Neon Gold‘s The Naked & Famous and their recent single ‘Young Blood’.
A few new reMixes of ‘Young Blood’ are starting to come in but it’s the Swedish duo’s that really stands out mixing the New Zealand Indie-Electro with some hardcore synths which gives a whole new energy to the vocals. For something a little more chilled, try Pink Ganter’s traditional Japanese Dubstep mashup.

Pay attention y’all! Danger is reMixing!
French crazy disco duo Acid Washed get rerated to some power harpsichord work here as Danger, one of the finest Electro producers in the world, delivers a spartan (for him) electronic epic that hold off dropping the bass until the very last minute.
♫ Acid Washed – Acid Washed (Danger reMix)
Acid Washed self titles 12” is out 17th September with reMixes from The Hacker, Mickey Moonlight, Daniel Haaksman, Digikid84, Lazy Flow, Jungle Fiction and Stuff also.
Neon Indian is re-releasing his critically acclaimed album of last year ‘Psychic Chasms’ as a deluxe edition complete with reMix CD.
The disk features work from the likes of Yacht, Dntel and this reMix of the title track from Valerie staple and all round retro synth genius Anoraak. It’s an interesting study on two different approaches to SynthPop, the original’s dreamy Lo-Fi psychedelia against Anoraak’s 80’s looking, Nu-Disco flavoured, chilled ElectroPop.
Chillwave Vs. Dreamwave! Fight!

The deluxe edition, titled ‘Mind Ctrl: Psychic Chasms Possessed’ is out September 28th.
