Rimer London & Renkas
You’ll probably know by now we here at electronic rumors are pretty big fans of Rimer London. Rimeroni Vumani’s analog, really synthetic, Disco sound just does it for us.
His recent single ‘Put Your Gun Away’ has been reMixed by, amongst others, Renkas for the reMix package. Renkas bring his laid back, almost Tropical, Electro Disco take on the track. A bouncy analog synth fans dream, this reMix is both retro and futuristic.
♫ Rimer London (Feat. Cata Pirata) – Put Your Gun Away (Renkas reMix)
‘Put Your Gun Away’ is out now on Magnetron Music, with reMixes from the likes of Surkin, Para One, SirOJ, Mr. Jones and Nobody Beats The Drum.

CSS reMixed by Depressed Buttons
I am digging the hell out of this reMix. CSS and Bobby Gillespie’s ‘Hit Me Like A Rock’ was an interesting comeback for the Brazilian quintet but this reMix from this Omaha trio Depressed Buttons blow the original out of the water.
The Mad Decent signed Depressed Buttons mash-up dancehall beats and crazy synth riffs. it’s noise, exciting and powerful, but that’s only to be expected from three guys who used to be in The Faint (a massive favourite ‘round these parts). Lovefoxxx’s vocals always sound amazing and intense over heavy synthesized music and this track is a prime example.
♫ CSS (Cansei De Ser Sexy) (Feat. Bobbie Gilespie) – Hits Me Like A Rock (Depressed Buttons Mix)
‘La Liberación‘, CSS’ new album, is out on on 22nd August.

Ladytron’s new single
‘Mirage’ is Ladytron new single and the second lead in track to their forthcoming new album, ‘Gravity The Seducer’.
Following ‘White Elephant’, ‘Mirage’ is slightly more upbeat and traditionally ‘Ladytron’, which is no bad thing. ‘Mirage’ is the Ladytron we all fell in love with. Solid Indie-ElectroPop with a rawness and intensity only Ladytron can capture. The new album is purported to be more ethereal and melodic than previous Ladytron work. Well, if it’s littered with tracks like ‘Mirage’ than I’ll be a happy man.
♫ Ladytron – Mirage
Ladytron’s new album, ‘Gravity The Seducer’ is released 12th September. You can pre-order signed copies of the LP or CD.

In 2009 Fear Of Tigers released hid début album ‘Cossus Snufsigalonia’, which was one of the best albums of the year and, bewilderingly, given away for free. ‘The Adventures Of Pippi Longstrump’ (or ‘Pippi’ to it’s friends) was an immediate hit and pretty much summed up everything we Retro Electro/Dreamwave/ElectroPop fans were looking for. It was even on the telly!
Fast forward to 2011 and FoT is gearing up to release a brand new album, ahead of witch will be coming some reworks of the older tunes getting an official release. Possibly including your reMix alongside the likes of Diamond Cut and Edwin Van Cleef?
You can find the lowdown on the reMix completion here and grab all the stems right here. It’s gonna’ be a tough fight though, with judging alongside FoT will be Justin Faust, Futurecop!, Diamond Cut and Edwin Van Cleef! This is one reMix competition you can be sure we’ll be keeping an eye on!

The Black Ghosts’ ‘Diamonds’
Indie-ElectroPopsters The Black Ghosts are back with a new album.
Released this week on Southern Fried Records the duo are celebrating the release of the record, ‘When Animals Stare’ by giving away the song ‘Diamonds’. It’s a dark, mysterious affair with a haunting melody reminiscent of carnival nightmares. True to The Black Ghosts style it is dense and gritty and hints at an album defiantly worth checking out.
‘When Animals Stare’ is out now.

Goin’ Old School: Paul Hardcastle – The Wizard
More Paul Hardcastle for you! 1986’s ‘The Wizard’ is three things. One; better, and funkier, than 19, two; the new (I say new, it was back then anyway) theme to Top Of The Pops, and three; One of the best songs ever written.
