Tyson’s ‘Fight’
Do you have an upcoming battle? An obstacle to overcome? Overwhelming odds to face? Let Tyson’s new tune be the soundtrack to your training montage.
Continuing in his trend of epic synthesized Pop, ‘Fight’ is pure 80’s action soundtrack. Slick ElectroPop with a hint of a Disco vibe that take in influences from Vince Di Cola to Kenny Loggings and anyone who’s music grace a movie with a VHS cover featuring a sunset and a steely gazing hero. All Tyson’s releases so far have us eagerly awaiting his album.
Tyson’s new single is due next month with his début album coming in 2012.

Google Music Competition
Have you tried Google Music yet? I’ve been playing with the big G’s cloud music solution for the last couple of days and I’m pretty impressed.
I’m not exactly what I‘m going to do with it, I can already stream audio from my home PC with Audiogalaxy, but it’s a really nice media player. If it was a little more advanced (customisable columns in Song view, advanced tagging facilities etc…) and it could play local files I might even consider making it my default music player. And it’s nice to have some tunes in the cloud, with a nice interface, for the rare occasions my home PC isn’t on.
Anyhoo, Google Music is currently in a close beta state right now, and invites are hard to come by, but we have two to give away to interested readers.
To win yourself one you need to be located in the US and have a valid gMail address. Just follow us, @electronicrumor on Twitter, and tweet the following:
S’up @electronicrumor. I could really do with winning one of your Google Music invites. Hook me up! http://goo.gl/AF7Xa

Kid Machine
Here’s the new track from Mancunian producer of all things retro synth Kid Machine.
It’s called ‘’85’, fittingly as this track could have been rocking Top Of The Pop’s in the mid 80’s, all smoke machine and green flashing lights. Taking elements from Italo and SynthPop Kid Machine has created a track that sounds genuinely authentic, right down to the production style. From the post-Kraftwerk Italo beats to the Belgian New Beat-esque lead line ‘’85’ is a slice of nostalgia that also manages to be fresh as hell.

We features Los Angeles Disco duo Bastille a couple of weeks ago and really dug their tunes, now they have sent on over their edit of Duck Sauce’s unreleased ‘Radio’.
The guys cut up this 80’s post-punk slice of New York Disco that the duo of A-Trak and Armand Van Gelded debuted at Coachella this year into a stomping retro dancefloor goodness. So desperate were Bastille to play the track out hat they whipped up this edit, which should keep everyone happy until it’s released. Those samples from The Members are gonna’ tear up dancefloors this summer.

Lo Fi Fnk – Boom (Moonlight Matters Remix)
Coming straight off of Lo-Fi-Fnk’s reMix package for their new single, ‘Boom’, here’s the slick Disco of Moonlight Matters’ version.
Sitting alongside reMixes from Yelle DJs (tEPr & GrandMarnier) and Weekend Wolves, Moonlight Matters works his Disco magic. Taking the Swedish ElectroPop outsiders and easing their tune into a Funk fuelled dense Disco tune is no mean feat, but the Belgian producer pulls it off effortlessly making their abstract vocal style seem perfectly at home amongst the slap bass driven raw Disco sounds.
♫ Lo Fi Fnk – Boom (Moonlight Matters reMix)
‘Boom’ is released 27th June, their new album ‘Last Summer’ is out on on August 17th
