Here is the official video for the single version of Breakbot and Ruckazoid’s ‘Fantasy’.
Tony Frontal directed this video that is as cheesy and sexy as the tune. It’s actually a pretty funny clip. Made me chuckly anyway.
‘Fantasy’ is out late June on Ed Banger/Because Music with further reMixes from Arthur Baker and and Ruckazoid.

Gucci Vump (better known as Brodinski and Guillaume from The Shoes) have dropped their Dub version of Yuksek’s ‘On A Train’ to keep you going while you await the release of his, frankly amazing, second album.
Taken from the ‘On A Train’ Ep, which is out now, Gucci Vump take the ElectroPop of the original and morphs it into a dark dancefloor monster that seriously deserves to be played at peak time to mesmerize and hypnotise the punters. Deep grooves here!

Housse De Racket are giving away the first track from their forthcoming album as a taste of what’s to come.
Their second album, ‘Alesia’ is coming in August and whilst we can’t wait, ‘Roman’ will have to tide us over. It’s a powerful Indie-Electro tune bristling with gangly guitar and huge, huge, synths. Driving energy and anthemic vocals bode really well for the new record.
Housse De Racket’s second album is due out 22nd August on Kitsuné Music.

Jowie Schulner is head honcho over at Boombar Records, who have some tasty releases incoming, and a solo artist in his own right.
Taken from his forthcoming artist album, ‘Sunset Chase’ is a night drive classic in the making. The distilled essence of retro, 80’s soundtrack influenced, synth music complete with big reverby snares, driving arpeggios, lead synths that soar off into the distance and some crazy, crazy arpeggiated synth axe! Next time you have to drive somewhere to confront your nemesis in the final battle, make sure this is on the stereo.

Looking for the Perfect Beat? Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force were in 1983, they pretty much found it then gave it to Hip Hop who, let’s be honest, hasn’t always treated it well.

VHS Or Beta have announced the details of their forthcoming fourth album, to be titled ‘Diamonds & Death’ and released later this year.
The first track from the record is ‘I Found A Reason’ a surprisingly synth based track loaded with Disco groove and House piano wrapped up in a pretty smooth ElectroPop package. Evidently influenced by founders Craig Pfunder and Mark Palgy relocation to Brooklyn this album looks like it will see the band take on more of a New York Disco vibe.

‘Diamonds & Death’ is due for release 27th September.

I’m really digging the new single from Canadian eclectic House/ElectroPop duo Azari & III.
‘Manic’ is pure deep sexbeat goodness. A rolling beat and electronic bassline coupled with the 80’s R&B vocals on hypnotic, brain infesting, “oooh oooh”s create, with the sweeping synths, is real mix up of Detroit, Disco and 90’s UK House. Whatever it is, there isn’t anyone quite like Azari & III around at the moment, and we’re glad they are.
‘Manic’ is out on 24th July with reMixes from DJ Sneak, Tiger & Woods, Finger Prince and Christian Aids.

Ursa Minor (Little Bear) are a London based outfit consisting of Little Bear, Yoshee, Evee and KTP who set about creating a kind of live, House influenced, synthesizer soundscape.
It’s really hard to pigeonhole Ursa Minor (Little Bear), I can definitely hear a root in the heyday of 90’s House and, more specifically, DancePop but they have taken that basis and moved it to a raw, live place. Like a garage Dance act there is an excitement, and urgency, about the real drumming and analog synth riffs and something almost freeform and jazzy in the musicianship. All this makes for a cosmic and compelling backing for the Post-Punky vocals. This is space age stuff but at the same time really down to Earth and, in a world of machine beats and quantized riffs, really human.
