Karin Park

purity ring

Karin Park is a Swedish singer with one foot in the Pop and one foot in the avant-garde.

Taking cues from the likes of The Knife and Fever Ray, those deep Scandinavian beast and spooky instrumentation are present but also a Björk-esque Poppiness rides alongside. Mixing up a dubby warping bass with twinkling melodies catches the attention of both body and mind. Park’s unique impassioned vocal delivery is just the icing on the cake.

♫ Karin Park – Tiger Dreams

The ‘Tiger Dreams’ EP is released 19th September.

Clubfeet’s ‘Broken Hearted’ video

‘Broken Hearted’ is the third video stemming form the ‘Gold On Gold’ collaboration between Indie-EelctroPop producer Clubfeet and filmmaker Alex Goddard.

It’s a cool, deep, ElectroPop track and the accompanying video is a nicely shot dreamlike narrative.

Alexandre Louvré’s ‘Love Elevation’

Alexandre Louvré

Here’s a brand new track Alexandre Louvré dropped in celebration of getting 1,000 followers on SoundCloud.

The MJ sampling ‘Love Elevation’ is pure bouncy cut-up Disco, amazingly skilful for this producer of just 19 years old. This is proper Nu-Disco, peak time beach part music. It’s Louvré’s keen ear for what works perfectly on the dancefloor that makes him a name to watch on the Nu-Disco scene.

Cicada X BeatauCue

Cicada

Cicada recently released their ‘Sunburst’ album which is an amazing twelve tracks of synthesizer Funk and ElectroPop tinged Nu-Disco.

It’s apparently selling well and in celebration they are giving away this reMix of the lead track ‘Come Together’ by BeatauCue who morph the track from smooth Disco to an ear bleeding Electro floorfiller. I think most people are pretty over big distorted kick-drum and sirens Electro these days, but this is actually quite a good example of it. In the good ol’ day’s we’d have called this a ‘banger’ or something.

♫ Cicada – Come Together (BeatauCue Edit)

Cicada’s ‘Sunburst’ album is out now.

Purity Ring’s new track

purity ring

It’s been a few months since we featured Canadian deep ElectroPop duo Purity Ring so it’s high time we dropped their third track, ‘Belispeak’.

It’s quite a stunning peice of work, encompassing shuffling Electro 808 beats with moody Minimal Synth-esque sounds and a truly epic vocal performance. There really is something special about the twisted innocence of the vocals working in tandem with haunting synthetics and almost Hip Hop beats.

♫ Purity Ring – Belispeak

‘Belispeak’ will be released on an forthcoming double A-side 7” split with fellow Canadian ElectroPop outfit Braids.

DMX Krew reMixes SebastiAn

sebastian

It’s no secret that I love DMX Krew, so I was eager to investigate EDMX’s reMix of Ed Banger Electro king SebastiAn’s new single ‘C.T.F.O.’

ED brings his B-boy Electro A-game to the mix, which is just what we like him to do. 808’s & DMXs, Analog basslines & scratching, M.I.A. vocoded beyond all recognition and that 808 cowbell. The DMX Krew cosmic Electro-Funk is in full effect right here and ED has managed to work just the right mix of Sci-Fi otherworldliness and that cold B-boy Electro edge with a catchy groove that’ll stick in your head.

♫ SebastiAn (Feat. M.I.A.) – C.T.F.O. (DMX Krew reMix)

The ‘C.T.F.O.’ single is out now.

Ronika’s ‘In The City’ video

this is the brand new video for ‘In The City’, one side of Nottingham DiscoPop princess Ronika’s forthcoming double A-side single.

Director Laurence Matthew Blake has quite authentically captured a late 80’s/early 90’s House feel to the clip which perfectly captures the groove of Ronika’s track.

‘Only Only’/‘In The City’ is released 3rd October via Record Shop. You can pick up a free Ronika mixtape here.

Monsieur Adi reMixes Madonna’s ‘Erotica’

madonna

Monsieur Adi’s trilogy of Madonna reMixes seems to have given up trying to be a trilogy, grabbed his Madonna record collection and run with it.

This time he’s taking on ‘Erotica’ and gives us something a little different, but inspired genius. Tribal, almost dancehall, beast and robotic vocal manipulation which builds and builds it’s hypnotic groove until a peak where it injects the bit we’re all waiting for. Adi immaculate orchestration. The huge strings and brass then giveaway to an edgy, haunting ending. Monsieur Adi nails is again, the layers and textures with which he crafts his reMix really put him in a league of his own.
