M83, ‘Midnight City’ the video

I’m resonably sure M83’s amazing ‘Midnight City’ already had a video, or maybe it was this one leaked weeks ago? I don’t know.

Whatever, here is the ‘new’ video for ‘Midnight City’. It’s actually a really good (it had better be, for a song as good as that) and slightly creepy Sci-Fi epic.

M83’s highly recommended album , ‘hurry Up, We’re Dreaming’ is just out.

Monsieur Adi X Visitor

adi

Well this is certainly an unexpected treat, it’s like X-mas! The awesome Visitor reMixing the awesome Monsieur Adi! One of the best ElectroPop acts in the world reMixing one of the best Nu-Disco producers in the world. What can go wrong?

Nothing is the answer. Absolutely nothing. Visitor gently nude the amazing original into their slick ElectroPop style, never heavy handed with it, this sounds like a real meeting of minds where visitor took the core of the track and ran with it, rather than ran over it. Visitor have been buried away in their studio for so long you forget how talented they are, I just wish they’d hurry up with their album.

Nyteowl & Hyboid

Nyteowl

Nyteowl are a Minneapolis outfit that mixes up ElectroPop styles in a thick Deep House groove on their new single ‘Love Of Mine’.

With a slight R&B slant to the vocals and a smooth synthesizer Funk leaning to the synths the track breaks out from he confines of the Detroit bassline to embrace everything that comprises it. It’s mid-temp Pop groove sitting surprisingly well with classic House bassline. The 12” is out soon on Juno Records new label Love Interest and features a reMix by our friends Hyboid who bring in a nice ‘80’s quality to the track, rolling arpeggiated basslines and electro toms bring up the energy from the laid back original and plant to squarely on the dancefloor that reaches it’s peak when the shimmering, chime solo come in and sends the track skyrocketing.

aeroplane

The end of this month is set for Vito Aeroplane to drop his brand new mix album, ‘In Flight Entertainment’ promises to be full to the brim with awesome tunes, including this new Aeroplane track, ‘Save Me Now’.

This is a killer tune. Loaded with big Aeroplane Disco, an infectious poppy vocal hook and a bassline that involuntarily moves your body ‘Save Me Now’ may even turn out to be the highlight of the album. Oh, and those massive ‘80’s synths don’t hurt either!

Gossip Culture’s new EP

Gossip Culture

Cleveland’s finest ‘80’s influenced Indie-ElectroPop export Gossip Culture has dropped a couple of teasers of his forthcoming new EP, out at the end of the month.

The first two tracks on the ‘People Talk ‘EP will be ‘horses Run Wild’ and ‘Young Love’. the EP opener is a strange and compelling beast. an unusual intertwining of reverb heavy Chillwave vocals and very late ‘80’s dance pop, complete with synth horn stabs and shuffling 909 beats. All wrapped up in an Insanely catchy song. ‘Young Love’ which features April Ewing takes the shuffling drums to the extreme, adding some tropical guitar into the mix for a laid back Caribbean ElectroPop jam. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the EP.

♫ Gossip Culture – Horses Run Wild

♫ Gossip Culture (Feat. April Ewing) – Young Love

The ‘People Talk’ EP is out 22nd October, until then check out Gossip Culture on SoundCloud.

Gin Joints

Gin Joints is a Sweedish producer who until recently was content making his name as a Hip-Hop guru, then he discovered ‘80’s Funk.

So what we have on his latest record, ‘Know The Ledge’ is a wicked vocoder heavy slice of cosmic Electro Boogie. Mixing up a Moog Funk bassline with a slick Disco lick creates the prefect backing for the almost ElectroPop vocals with a call-and-response vocoder chorus. ‘Know The Ledge’ is a smooth late night jam with reMix duties performed by the awesome Neon Workout who come in heavy with a big Dreamwave/Nu-Disco sound. At the stompier end of retro synth this reMix is set to get dancefloors jumping. The rest of the single hold two more original tracks ‘Done Wrong’ and ‘On The Phone’, a pure ‘80’s ElectroPop/Funk song with a hint of electronic R&B and more vocoder action that could quite easily sit on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack.

New EP from Flashworx

flashworx

You gotta’ love them Flashworx guys! Over the weekend they dropped a whole new EP, for free!

The ‘Futurisma’ EP is four tracks of synthesizer heaven. Building on from the sound the forged in their ‘Two Guys In Japan’ EP last year the duo take their SynthWave strongly into Italo territory. Using their synthesizers as brushes to paint a Sci-Fi picture of exploration of the unknown, Flashwox have crated an EP that flow together in an audio narrative of space flights and travel to distant worlds. All with, of course, two feet planted firmly on the dancefloor. The ‘Futurisma’ EP is a definite welcome return for these guys.

Flashworx – Futurisma

Flashworx – Gliese 581

Flashworx – Ms. Chapel

You can download the whole EP in full quality over on Flashworx’s SoundCloud.
