Conzoom release electropop 6

German SynthPop label Conzoom Records have just released the sixth entry in their ‘electropop’ compilation series.

Featuring the likes of Mooger, Northern Mars, Parralox, Vile Electrodes and more it’s an fine example of where the Modern SynthPop scene is heading these days and a great introduction to some of the bands making it happen, If you like your electronic music retro but have been bereft of new music to listen to then Conzoom’s stable of modern takes on the classic SynthPop sound might just be for you. the tracks on this album range for upbeat club tunes to dark ballads.

Bispatial’s ‘We just Got It Wrong’ is one of the standout tracks on the album, setting itself apart from the majority of 80’s influenced acts on the compilation with a big (and pretty hip right now) 90’s sound. Heavy 909 beats and House piano rock this track.

♫ Bispatial (Feat. Vista) – We Just Got It Wrong (Electropop reMix)

You can pick up electropop 6 in the stores of from Conzoom’s web store.

Van Go Lion’s ‘Body Moves’ get’s played a lot round these parts, as début singles go it’s in impressive way to kick-off their career and sure to gain them some attention.

This reMix we have here comes courtesy of QUBIQ, who provides a deep, quite proggy, House mix with a big room flavour. Thankfully keeping most of the song structure intact the reMix transforms Van Go Lion’s huge ElectroPop into a late night floor-filler.

Strange Talk

This track may be over a year old buy Australia’s Strange Talk have just released their début EP and ‘Climbing Walls’ is blowing up.

And what better reason to celebrate it! You probably already know the track, it was featured on Kitsuné Maison 10 and is the prefect summery Indie-ElectroPop. It you don’t mind a little feel-good gangly guitar in your dance music then you’ll dig this tune for sure. Their sound is pretty Australian IndiePop (if you know what I mean) with hints of Two Door Cinema Club and Phoenix or The Naked And Famous, nice catchy tunes that would work well both live or on the dancefloor. Or to chill to.

♫ Strange Talk – Climbing Walls

Strange Talk’s self titled EP is out now.

Florrie’s new video

Here is the video for the lead track from Florrie’s new EP.

‘Begging Me’ isn’t quite as catchy as some of her previous tunes but it is a fun a slick slice of Xenomania mid-tempo Pop that I can already feel worming it’s way into my brain.

The video was directed by Price James.

‘Begging Me’ is out now.

She’s The Queen & Jules Schimmer

It’s Thursday! You know what that means!

I swear I’m not doing this deliberately, people keep sending me sweet She’s The Queen reMixes on a Wednesday!

Today’s action comes courtesy of UK producer and DJ Jules Schimmer who lays down a deep arpeggiated retro bassline and some shimmering synths for She’s The Queen’s ‘As We Run’. Taking the original to an early 80’s place with his drum patterns, rapid fire claps and electro toms give it a authentic Electro flavour and creates a nice juxtaposition between Emily’s soulful vocals and Jules’ almost B-Boy beats.
