It seems like the build up to the release of Anoraak’s ‘Crazy Eyes’ single was been ages!
Well, its’ here, the single was released the middle of last month, but if you still need to check it out here’s the video, shot in Miami.
it’s got bowling in it!

The single will feature reMixes from Russ Chimes, Julien Meyer (who won the reMix competition) and Pacific! and is released on 14th March.
It’s been a while since we featured Greek ElectroPopster Tareq, the man is back with a new single on Undo, a duet with Natassa Bofiliou called ‘Feel Me’
The track has had funking over by the almighty MiGHty mOUse, who layer on their trademark organic Nu-Disco. Raw and live grooves make the track float along and provide the prefect 70’s Moog funk backdrop for the track.
♫ Tareq – Feel Me (MiGHty mOUse Vocal reMix)
Tareq’s album, ‘Cocoon’ is out now.
We dropped The Sleeps knowledge on you this time last week. This Indie-Electro trio from Cleveland have just released their first EP on the constantly quality Girlfriend Records label.
Well, the EP is out now, you can check the title track in our original post, it’s catchy, energetic and has got some massive synth work in amongst the gangly guitars, it’s everything you want on an Indie-Electro dancefloor . The EP is backed with reMixes from Gossip Culture and this mix from Norway’s HR, who turns the track into a chilled sunrise moment with a lot of feeling to it.
♫ The Sleeps – Fuse (HR reMix)
The Sleeps’ ‘Fuse’ is out now, it’s probably the last of Girlfriend Records free releases and well worth it to check out the Gossip Culture reMix too. Go check out some of Girlfriend’s other free releases too, you’ll really dig them and they’ll need our support for future releases.

Well, that’s that then. Saturday night saw the last ever LCD Soundsystem show. A three and a half hour send-off at Madison Square Garden for one of the greatest DancePunk/Indie-Electro/DiscoPunk/Whatever bands to have graced our ears.
Streamed live by Pitchfork, it’s not on YouTube for those that missed it.
Farewell James Murphy and co., you were responsible for some good times, thank you.
MNDR’s recent free single ‘Cut Me Out’ is now available in video form.
Simple yet effective the video is pretty much a tour of a bunch of video effects on Amanda’s head. It never feels uninspired though and works quite well.
You can pick up the full quality version of ‘Cut Me Out’ at Green Label Sound.
Sweden’s ruling SynthPop act, The Sound Of Arrows, forthcoming 90’s-Euphoric-Trance sounding single ‘Nova’ s release date draws near we are getting out first plays of some of the reMixes.
It’s not my favourite Sound Of Arrows track, although I love the video and the song itself is pretty awesome, some of the big hands-in-the-air trance riffs sound really out of place in the 21st century. I’m hoping this is a one off song and not a new direction for the duo. One of the more interesting reMixes comes from II Figures, who turn in a spacey Chillwave-esq mix. This percussion heavy, atmospheric, version shows off what a brilliant song ‘Nova’ actually is.
♫ The Sound Of Arrows – Nova (II Figures reMix)
There is also a Tiësto reMix, which sends shivers down my spine a bit. The track is 90’s trance sounding enough, did they really need to pay someone something like £15,000 (or more!) to make it sound even more like 90’s trance? You can hear a bit here. Has everything Tiësto has made since 1997 sounded exactly the same? His reMix of this track is probably the most dated and irrelevant thing I have heard in the last six months…and I listen to a lot of 80’s music!
‘Nova’ is out 25th April on Geffen, The Sound Of Arrows have just finished recording their début album.

‘Rue De Rome’ is the forthcoming single from Munk’s awesome ‘The Bird And The Beat’ album.
And here’s the video by by Double Zero, presenting this tribute to Marseille in a nice 70’s crime movie, with a twist, way.
‘The Bird And The Beat’ is out now, ‘Rue De Rome’ is out this week backed by remixes from Cécile, Mickey Moonlight and Black Strobe.
She’s The Queen, the NYC based ElectroPoppers we dropped the science on last month, are gearing up for the release of their New EP ‘Waiting Game’.
When we wrote about the duo last we included our buddy Ren Riz’s reMix of the title track, and in light of the EP release we though you ought to be wrapping your ears round the power Pop of the original version. The more you listen to this track the more you realise how incredibly sophisticated it is. We briefly touched on the production in out last piece but it’s worth mentioning again just how impressive both the arrangement and production is for an unsigned band. The track itself is an excellent choice for the lead track on a EP, it’s a powerful tune that hits you, both musically and vocally, like a wave of good emotion and would work just as well and the dancefloor as in the headphones.
Enjoy:
♫ She’s The Queen – Waiting Game (EP Version)
The ‘Waiting Game’ EP is out 12th April, keep checking She’s The Queen’s Facebook for details:
Brooklyn based ElectroPop duo a&r return today with the release of their second EP, titled ‘Aquarium’.
The EP features seven track for top quality ElectroPop that draws on the same kind of influences as Dreamwave and Nu-Disco artists but keeping them wrapped up in a perfect Indie tinged Pop package. Rocko Rochee and Alex Kramer bring this Indie cool and retro influences to their version of ElectroPop with sweeping synth lines and atmospheric guitar work intersecting the dance beats and sing-along vocals. There, quite literally, is something for everybody (or, at least, everybody who reads electronic rumors) in a&r’s music. We defiantly recommend pickup up this EP.
You can pick up a&r’s ‘Aquarium’ EP from their Bandcamp site:
