Alex Metric Vs. The Whip

thewhip

I have always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with The Whip, a times I find them to be pure Indie-Electro dancefloor genius who perfectly capture of the catchy Pop song with their own edge, at other times I find them lazy, uninspired and mediocre. I’m still excited to hear the forthcoming album though, hopefully it will fall into the former category.

In the meantime, here’s a reMix of the track ‘Secret Weapon’ by one of the best Electro producers, not just in the UK, but in the World Alex Metric. Metric completely works this mix taking the best elements of The Whip and morphs them into a peak time, hands-in-the-air, three minutes of amazingness.

♫ The Whip – Secret Weapon (Alex Metric reMix)

The Whip’s Jagz Krooner produced new album, ‘Wired Together’, is released 19th September on Southern Fried Records.

Birdy Nam Nam’s new video

Birdy Nam Nam are back, I honestly didn’t think they were around anymore. They are about to release their ‘Goin’ In’ single which shows they have lost none of their in-your-face electro edge.

The video is suitably bizarre, seeing as Machine Molle, WillSweeney and So Me had a hand in it.

The ‘Goin’ In’ EP is released 5th September.

Ghosts Of Venice reMix Now In Stereo

nowinstereo

Leeds based Nu-Disco producer Ghosts Of Venice does a storming job on his new reMix of Now In Stereo’s ‘Away.

In full on beach party mode Ghosts Of Venice keeps the track rocking the whole way though. A simple but solid bassline drives the whole track to dancefloor ecstasy while the cut-up vocals samples, that blended into the original, here are a Disco air-raid siren warning you of impending Funk.

♫ Now In Stereo – Away (Ghosts Of Venice reMix)

‘Away’ is out soon on Satan’s Circus.

The Magician’s new single

themagician

Awesome news. The Magician is finally ready to drop his first proper solo single!

‘I Don’t Know What To Do’, with Jeppe on vocal duties, is as good as we would have expected. The Magician has layered his electronic Disco with a really nice late 80’s House sound, the piano and the 909 rimshots give the track a real retro feel. Even the vocals are pretty late 80’s. but this isn’t cheap nostalgia, this is a serious House tinged ElectroPop track.

♫ The Magician (Feat. Jeppe) – I Don’t Know What To Do (Original)

‘I Don’t Know What To Do’ is released 3rd October on Kitsuné and features reMixes from Plastic Plates and our boy Fabian. Can’t wait.

Aaron Alexis’ ‘Full Moon’

Aaron Alexis

Photographer, Director, Kitsuné collaborator and ElectroPop producer Aaron Alexis has dropped his next track on us.

Continuing his unique take on SynthPop, Aaron’s music is quite and understated. That’s not to say his songs aren’t rich and full tracks, but there is an air of intimacy, of introspection about them. Meticulously crafted, ‘Full Moon’ is impassioned, yet distant, and makes wonderful use of layers of synths and drums to create ElectroPop that is lush, but calming.

Ilya Santana

We’ve got some serious bass heavy cosmic Disco here in the form of French label La Belle’s latest release. Ilya Santana’s ‘Infamous Lovers’.

A true intergalactic journey, Ilya’s single is a synthesizer workout to please even the most jaded knob twiddler. The playful electronics ride over a solid backing of deep Disco bass and proggy guitar resulting in a 70’s Sci-Fi Disco epic that could easily ride alongside a space montage in Carl Sagan’s Cosmos. The mixture of a Disco groove and Jarre or Vangelis-esque synths is quite intoxicating.

♫ Ilya Santana – Infamous Lovers

‘Infamous Lovers’ is released 12th September with reMixes from Kasper Bjørke and Telonius.

Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard reMixes Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

teed

Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard is on the reMix for the new Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs single, and really leaves his mark on the track.

The single, a re-release of ‘Garden’, comes fresh with a new crop of reMixes. the Hot Chip/2Bears wash on the track is quite evident and the combination of Goddard’s trademark deep grooves and light toytown Indie synths with TEED’s introspective vocals seems like a match made in heaven.
