Jordan F’s ‘Definitely Miami’ EP

jordanF

Sydney Dreamwave producer Jordan F is holed up on some sun kissed beach somewhere ‘hard at work’ on his début artist album.

In the meantime he’s put together a free EP for Rosso Corsa Records featuring re-mastered version of ‘Definitely Miami’ and ‘Outrun’, which we’ve featured a while back, and a new track, ‘Cupido’. As you probably know by now, Mr. F makes some of the finest Synthwave and Nu-Disco coming out of down under and these three tracks are all prefect examples of his power drums and sparkling 80’s-esque melodies. Grab some headphones, sit back, relax and let Jordan F take to to summers of the past.

Lost Years

lost years

Coming straight out of Miami Beach, er, Sweden, Lost Years have been steadily pumping out top quality retro synth tunes for the last few months.

Their latest, ‘Regrets V3’ features a nice mix of 80’s Electro Boogie and Jan Hammer-esque synth power chords. The track has a nice progression to it, building and building towards the end, layer lush synth sounds and those all important synth toms. This track is hot in every sense of the word.

Alpha Boy’s début album.

alpha boy

German Dreamwave producer Alpha Boy is finally ready to drop his début record, ‘Electronic Feelings’.

If you search electronic rumors for ‘Alpha Boy’ you’ll find quite a few of his tracks have been featured here, we’ve been a big supporter of Norman Knight’s take on retro synth music and most of those tracks we’ve featured appear on this collection alongside a few new tunes. From the album’s opener ‘Night Thunder’ you immediately get a sense of atmosphere from the tracks, Alpha Boy manages to keep his tunes dancey but also injects an emotional resonance into his music that whisks you away to wherever the subject matter of the tune is. Drawing from Dreamwave, Italo, 80’s instrumental Pop and ChipTune, Alpha Boy is about to drop 14 tracks that anybody into backward looking but forward sounding synth music should definitely seek out.

♫ Alpha Boy – Breath In

♫ Alpha Boy – Debbie’s Workout

Alpha Boy’s ‘Electronic Feelings’ is out soon.

Com Truise’s ‘Datebar’

Com Truise

Com Truise is about to head out on tour with Active Child and Chad Valley (that’s quite a line up!). While he;s away he’s left us all with a track from his vaults, ‘Datebar’.

What we have here is the slickest of chill synth Funk. Crossing boundaries between cut-up Disco and night drive Synthwave, Mr. Truise does it again with his intricate programming and spartan production that’s like your best memories of summer in the 80’s.

♫ Com Truise – Datebar

Com Truise’s album ‘Galactic Melt’ comes highly recommended.

Don’t fuck with Penguin Prison’s money

Penguin Prison

It’s been a live favourite for a while now, so ‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ was a good choice of Penguin Prison to tease his forthcoming album.

‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ is such an evolution from his BedroomPop of old. Whist it keep s that intimate, low key vibe, the production is big Disco Funk layered Indie-Electro. This is a true good times anthem, funky and funny. Listening to the studio version it’s easy to understand why this track always goes down so well at shows.

♫ Penguin Prison – Don’t Fuck With My Money

Penguin Prison’s self-titled début album drops 5th September.

Radio INK: ‘Rocket’, the reMixes

radio ink

Radio INK haven’t graced the pages of electronic rumors for a while now, but their new reMix package for the ‘Rocket’ single…oh my god!

I honestly don’t know where to begin, nine reMixes, all top quality. Let’s take a look at some of the best. Bit Funk kicks things off with one of his best to date, a deep bassed DiscoPop tune that works the best of Disco and Pop to their fullest. Moonchild rocks his synthesizer disco for an upbeat track that I believe samples Freeez’s ‘I.O.U.’, or contains a riff that sounds just like it. Neon Workout bring a more retro Dreamwave flavour to the package. The 80’s sounds in this Mix bring out a whole new side of the vocal track. Koobra (from Helsinki 78-82)’s sweeping SynthWave take on the track turns the tune into a retro ElectroPop epic with an instant classic lead line.

♫ Radio INK – Rocket (Bit Funk reMix)

♫ Radio INK – Rocket (Moonchild reMix)

♫ Radio INK – Rocket (Neon Workout reMix)

♫ Radio INK – Rocket (Koobra reMix)

The ‘Rocket’ reMix package is out this week, until then check out more from Radio INK on SoundCloud.

Karin Park

purity ring

Karin Park is a Swedish singer with one foot in the Pop and one foot in the avant-garde.

Taking cues from the likes of The Knife and Fever Ray, those deep Scandinavian beast and spooky instrumentation are present but also a Björk-esque Poppiness rides alongside. Mixing up a dubby warping bass with twinkling melodies catches the attention of both body and mind. Park’s unique impassioned vocal delivery is just the icing on the cake.
