We dropped the track a while back, now check out the video for Charlie XCX’s ‘Nuclear Seasons’.
Although I’m a still not really getting the whole ‘Goth-Pop’ tag, the music rocks, and I like the way she is pinching all Witch-House’s aesthetics and making them Pop, that amuses me.
‘Nuclear Seasons’ is out now on Asylum Records.

On The Fruit Records’ second big release of the week comes courtesy of the slick synthetic Disco of Pat Lok.
The Vancouver DJ/Producers is dropping this single, ‘No Shame’, backed with ‘Yes Game’ and a stellar array of reMixes. ‘No Shame’ is an Italo basslined five minutes of some of the best, and most original, Nu-Disco we’ve heard in a while. Pat definitely brings something new to the Nu-Disco game as well as doing what everyone should do when they’ve write an awesome peice of funky electronic music…cover the thing in vocoded vocals. ‘No Shame’ is immense. The flip side, ‘Yes Game’ take a smoother route to the dancefloor with chilled synths and piano in the mix. Goldroom provides one of the mixes of ‘No Shame’. The ‘G’ word is already, after half a year, a stamp of quality, slightly Yachty, Nu-Disco beach tunes but this time Josh goes all out and contributes some vocals to the track which immediately gives the track something special, making it really cohesive. Bit Funk’s take on ‘Yes Game’ is funked-out bliss (or should that be blissed-out funk?) with heavy synth bass and slap bass intertwining to crate a low-down dirty groove and some dark dancefloor moments.

Jet setting DiscoPop act AXXE’s ‘Sweet Stuff’ has been knocking around for a while now, as has some of the reMixes, so On The Fruit Records (in their firsts of two big releases this week) have made the smart decision to package them all up in one place, alongside some corking new versions. Won’t you join me for a peek inside?
The original version of the tracks is pure Dance-Pop excellence, with just the right balance between retro sounds and modern dancefloors. Doug’s slick beats and ear for hooks and Stina husky, powerful vocals work together perfectly for some big, but edge, ElectroPop fun. It’s hard to even start on the reMixes with out getting Ride The Universe’s version out the way, we’ve mentioned it before, suffice to say the combination of musicianship, studio skill skill and DJ’s ear amongst the four Riders makes up the perfect production team. If you were in the HR department of a Dreamwave/Nu-Disco corporation then these four skill sets would be the one your would be trying to fill. Dreamtrak is a man with his finger in a lot of ElectroPop pies right now, and his reMix here displays why, with an almost New Order-esque slice of retro SynthPop sprinkled with a hint of Disco. Neon Workout head straight for the dancefloor with their take on the track with a bit of Italo, a bit of EBM and a bit of Disco all finding their way into this rapid-fire mix.

I’m not entirely sure why this track isn’t titled ‘Bodi Bill – I Like Holden Caulfield (Siriusmo reMix)’ (as opposed to Bodi Bill (Feat. Siriusmo), ‘cos it pretty much is Surismo reMixing Bodi Bill, and not for the first time.
‘I Like Holden Caulfield’ is a bit of a classic, it was pretty staple on any ElectroPop fan’s Walkman back in 2008 and Siriusmo does an excellent job of bringing it bang up to date but also adds a little nostalgic touch. Siriusmo’s evolving arpeggios and slightly Acid lead lines make me thing a little of old Van She Tech reMixes but with a cutting edge, raw, Deep House vibe to it.

Kitsuné Music’s latest gang of smart-shirted Indie-kids-with-synths Citizens! have had their catchy new single ‘True Romance’ reMixed by the always excellent Gigamesh.
The first thing you notice about Gigamesh’s reMix is this classic electronic Pop Funk bassline which really provides a backbone for the track. Gigamesh’s knack for Nu-Disco and Dreamwave is slightly subverted by the retro Pop of Citizens! but the end result is a really cool, and pretty authentic, peice of ‘80’s sounding Pop.

Jacques Lu Cont/Les Rythmes Digitales/Paper Faces/Thin White Duke…that guy Stuart Price, is making music again!
Slowly released over a variety of media the new mystery track, ‘Reload’, is a hugely welcome return of the man who made one of the greatest albums of all time, Les Rhythmes Digitales’ ‘Darkdancer’ and went on to produce the likes of Kylie and Madonna. The track has got that LRD groove, but toughened up and dragged kicking and screaming into 2011 with hints of Daft Punk and a Spectrum 48k loading. We’re definitely excited to see what happens here.
