Crystal Castles new album news + new reMixes

CrystalCastles

This week Crystal Castles triumphantly announced their return with a new album and two new singles.

In an awesome move the new album, as with their début, will be self titled! Which is just a stroke of genius. The first proper single released will be a track called ‘Celestica’.

Before that, however, the duo are releasing a limited edition (500 copies) 12” of ‘Doe Deer’ to celebrate Record Store Day on 17th April.

To get you warmed up for all this good stuff here’s a couple of new reMixes. Midnight Conspiracy’s take on ‘Crimewave’ is a pretty amazing slice of 8-bit flavoured SynthPop and ‘Untrust Us’ as reMixed by Alex Zelenka, which is a deep bleepy vision of the original.

Crystal Castles new album, er…’Crystal Castles’, is due to come out on 8th July.

Killa Kela’s ‘Everyday’ reMixes

KillaKela

Beatboxer extraordinaire Killa Kela’s tune ‘Everyday’ has been floating around for a while now, the track sees him explore a more Pop side of his musical output and is finally getting a full release with a cracking reMix package.

Back from the void twice this week Lifelike nails it again taking this really poppy song and making really poppy disco. Allen Walker up the Nu-Disco game even further, keeping more of the song structure than Lifelike but dropping in a big Filter-House mix. Devil’s Gun take the track into soaring synth territory with a deep bass heavy mix layered with shining analog solos.

Bodi Bill & Siriusmo

BodiBill

I’d honestly never heard of Bodi Bill before their current single, ‘I Like Holden Caulfield’, landed in the electronic rumors inbox, but I was immediately all over it.

This German act is hard to pin down, a bit Lo-Fi, a bit Indie-Electro, a bit Bedroom Pop, even a little bit Folktronica, they have defiantly carved out a unique niche for themselves in the SynthPop landscape. Their glitchy beats and eclectic electronic instrumentation really keep the listener on their toes!

Siriusmo, who should be no stranger to you, provides a reMix of the track ‘Tip Toe Walk’ for the single and turns in a deep and atmospheric mix complete with buzzing organs, echoing piano and military drums.

‘I Like Holden Caulfield’ is now.

Glass Candy release new EP

Italo influenced ElectroPop act Glass Candy recently released a new EP, ‘Feeling Without Touching’, on Italians Do It Better.

The title track is actually quite old but makes for a sound into to the EP, which also features the songs ‘Sugar & Whitebread’, ‘Covered In Bugs’ and ‘Shine Like Gold & Diamonds’, as it’s a pretty apt example of Glass Candy’s slick retro Pop. Italo beats and analog synths with Ida No’s sultry vocals.

New Pony Pony Run Run single!

PonyPonyRunRun02

Amazing French Indie-ElectroPopsters Pony Pony Run Run return next month with a long awaited new single ‘Waling On A Line’. It’s a, frankly, brilliant slice of Indie-Electro that deserves all kinds of attention this summer.

There are loads of reMixes lined up for the reMix package, the stand out really has to be Lifelike’s stellar return to form with his summertime part reMix, so smooth the synths seem to melt together, all 7m50s of it is brilliant. For darker take on the tune check out French Fries’ Dubstep workout with downpitched vocals while Blatta & Inesha deliver a straight up wonky banger.

The Aston Shuffle

Released this month was The Aston Shuffle’s new single ‘i Wanna’ See You’. I think I first noticed The Aston Shuffle after their reMix of PNAU’s ‘Baby’ way back when, they’ve got a pretty unique take on Electro.

‘I Wanna’ See You’ comes across like a party banger, but it is actually a really intricate track with really smooth vocoded vocals.

NightWaves; ‘Sweet Carrie’ reMixes

NightWaves03

Binary Records guys NightWaves’ single ‘Sweet Carrie was released a few days ago and despite having sung it’s praises we think you might still need some convincing.

So here we have for you some of the reMixes that come with the single, kicking off with LexiconDon, who keep hold of the chilled summer vibe but pull it in more of a straight ElectoPop direction with stunning results. While everyone else in the world is chilling to this tune in the sun with a beverage, Walter Sobcek heads straight for the dancefloor with his take on the track leaving Alfa to crack out an arpeggio driven Electro reMix. It’s a storming reMix package, well worth a purchase!

Detachments – H.A.L.

Today sees the release of Detachments limited edition 12” of live favourite ‘H.A.L.’ on THISISNOTANEXIT. This is an updated version of the track, produced by Simian Mobile Disco’s James Ford and it’s a post-punk-robo-disco juggernaut that wouldn’t have sounded out of place in the dark Industrial clubs of the early and mid-80’s.

You can pick up the 12” here.

Cinnamon Chasers’ new EP

CinnamonChasers

We, here, are big supporters of Cinnamon Chasers, their last album ‘A Million Miles From Home’ made it into the top 5 of our top 20 of 2009 so we’re pretty damn’ exited at the news of a new EP.

The ‘Sunset Drive’ EP will contain five tracks, including this one, ‘You’ which sees CC leaning in a slightly more full on Dreamwave direction whiles keeps the chilled summery vibe we love and expect from them.

The video for ‘Luv Deluxe’ which we featured way back when recently won ‘best music video’ at SXSW, and well deserved too, it’s an amazing video/track.

♫ Cinnamon Chasers – You (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Sunset Drive’ is out 13th April on Modus Records. I can’t wait!
