There’s a new Freezepop album on the way! This is a very good thing!
After months of quiet the (now) foursome have announced that their new record, titled ‘Imaginary Friends’, will be released in November. If you’ve never been exposed to Freezepop you’re missing out, their unique brand of introspective, fun, Indie-ElectroPop had been a staple of most Electro fans collections for years now and their quirky one-on-one synthesizer sound pre-dates the current crop of BedroomPop stars and must have been a big influence on much of that scene.
‘Magnetic’, the first track to appear from the forthcoming album is pure Freezepop. DIY sounding SynthPop and tales of Liz Enthusiasm’s life. It’s good to have them back!
That there is just a 128kbps taster, you can download the high quality 320kbps mp3 in exchange for your email addy over at Freezepop’s official website, a bargain if ever I saw one!
‘Imaginary Friends’ is due to drop 9th November.
I love We Have Band’s deep, electronic, hypnotic reMix of Anoraak’s awesome current single ‘Try Me’.
Released this month ‘Try Me’ is a post-Dreamwave (if that even is a thing yet?), Indie tinged, ElectroPop monster of a tune. We Have Band strip it down to intertwining arpeggios, processed vocals and haunting guitar lines over a tribal drum track that hammers the tune into your brain!
♫ Anoraak – Try Me (We Have Band reMix)
‘Try Me’ is out right now, ‘Wherever The Sun Sets’, being released 30th August.
Mid-90’s funkateers Jamiroquai are kicking back this year with a new album and someone on team Jamiroquai has good taste when it comes to picking reMixers ‘cos you can’t get better than Monarchy and Penguin Prison!
‘White Knuckle Ride’ will be the lead single from the forthcoming album ‘Rock Light Dust Star’ and it gets transformed into two awesome slices of DiscoPop by Monarchy and Penguin Prison. Both versions are top quality but if I had to, gun to the head, favour one I think it would be Monarchy’s ElectroPop/Nu-Disco slant (although PP’s had a wicked lead line!)

‘Rock Light Dust Star’ comes out this November.
So, I was thinking, ‘can I do another LexiconDon post?’. With so many recent reMixes and their incredible début album dropping electronic rumors is becoming inundated with LexiconDon posts. Well, sorry, but the answer is yes, I can do another post, mainly ‘cos they are worth it, but also ‘cos these two new reMixes of ‘Student Body’ are blowing up!
I’m not going to go on about LexiconDon, do a search on this site to read how we’ve hyped them up in the recent months and a review of their album. What we’ve got here is Bit Funk and Build & Clancy taking on ‘Student Body’ for said album. the internet seems to be going ape shit over the Bit Funk reMix, and for good reason, it’s a Disco flavoured floor pleaser which washes the track with French Touch and smooth guitar licks. However, I think I prefer the Build & Clancy reMix, it’s got these nice big 80’s chords, over a pumping Nu-Disco backing that get me going just that little bit more.

LexiconDon’s ‘Pink + Blue’ drops tomorrow on dubFrequency/Binary, and keep it locked to electronic rumors for our forthcoming Binary event!
Things have been quiet of late from the awesome Yuksek camp, so much so I’d nearly forgotten about him, but showing us he’s still alive he’s back here to reMix the new single from Oh Land .
Oh Land is Nanna Øland Fabricius, a Dane living in New York who’s music is eclectic, slightly jazzy, singer/songwriter stuff. Yuksek’s reMix of ‘Son Of a Gun’ is pure electro funk. Not as frantic as previous Yuksek productions, there’s more of a steady groove going on on this track. and it’s better for it!

Oh Land’s début album is out now, details of where to buy on her MySpace
The XX’s ‘Shelter’ has been pretty reMixed to death, but I suppose there is always room for one more when it comes from the likes of Tiga.
The man gets deep and dark on this track. It’s almost a Dubstep track. 50% Dubby, 50% atmospheric soundtrack, 100% enveloping.
♫ The XX – Shelter (Tiga reMix)
The XX’s self titled album and the ‘Shelter’ single are both out now.
East London’s The Brute Chorus have got their bestest mates and electronic rumors faves CHEW LiPS to favour them with a reMix of their new single ‘Heaven’.
It a cool reMix, it’s got CHEW LiPS trademark blippy synth sound but also this really nice shuffling beat that is unexpected, but welcome, with the music. I’d actually like to hear more of vocalist James Steel working in electronic music as his voice and the synths makes for an interesting and unique combination.
♫ The Brute Chorus – Heaven (CHEW LiPS reMix)
‘Heaven’ is released 6th September with their self titled album coming a little later and featuring guest vocals from Tigs.
Here it is! Part 1 of Russ Chimes’ ‘Midnight Club’ EP and accompanying video directed by Saman Keshavarz. Not only an I loving the music, awesome Nu-Disco a cut about the rest of the pack, but also the narrative Saman is laying out to be continues in parts 2 and 3 of the EP.
‘Never Look Back’, track 1 of the EP, is a frantic Disco laden tune. If you, like us, have loved Mr. Chimes reMixes in the past two year you kinda’ know what to expect. With this EP he’ll set the bar for Nu-Disco that much higher and the first part of the ‘Midnight Club’ mini-movie, well, I won’t spoil it for you but suffice to say I can see some ass-kicking going on in parts 2 and 3!
The video for Part 2 of the EP is coming 1st September, the EP should be out in October.
They do love a good cover, don’t they. HURTS’ next tribute is to their album guest vocalist Kylie Minogue.
Covering Kylie’s awesome ‘Confide In Me’ for The Sun’s ‘The Biz’ column Hurst bust out an almost acoustic sounding rendition.
HURTS’ début album ‘Happiness’ is released 6th September. Not Long now!
