Shook reMixes Penguin Prison

Shook just drops amazing reMix after amazing reMix!

This time he’s turned his attention to Penguin Prison’s current single ‘Multi-Millionaire’ and covers the track in his lavish synth Funk. Squelchy Moog basslines and sweet leads are front and centre with a stellar electric piano solo. ‘Multi-Millionaire’ was one of Penguin Prison’s most Disco’d tracks to date anyway, but Shook adds the Funk to the ElectroPop mix in a melting pot of smooth radness.

♫ Penguin Prison – Multi-Millionaire (Shook reMix)

‘Multi-Millionaire’ is out now.

Bright Light Bright Light’s ‘Disco Moment’ video

Bright Light Bright Light’s long (really, quite long) awaited new single ‘Disco Moment’ looks like it’s finally here with the premiere of the video.

It’s a really good choice for a single, upbeat ElectroPop with a hint of melancholy and the Jody Wilson directed video serves as a really good introduction to Rod Thomas for the masses who missed out on ‘Love Part II’.

‘Disco Moment’ is released 19th September.

Goin’ Old School: Yellow Magic Orchestra – Rydeen

Yellow Magic Orchestra have been making boundary pushing electronic music and ElectroPop since before you know what a synthesizer was. Show some respect! ‘Rydeen’ is from 1980, by which time they were already comfortable making big Electro jams while much of the rest of the world was on Tomorrow’s World complaining that synthesizer music wasn’t somehow real.

Van Go Lion’s Johnny Hates Jazz cover

Portland ElectroPop duo Van Go Lion have only gone and done a cover of 80’s smooth Pop boy’s Johnny Hates Jazz’s smash hit ‘Shattered Dreams’ ain’t they!

It’s actually really weird to hear a song you know inside out sung by someone else, but Van Go Lion tune in a brilliant updating of the tune. It seems the Jazzers (or the Johnnies?) themselves like the track too, making this statement “25 years since Shattered Dreams was originally a worldwide hit, and after nearly three and a half million airplays in the US alone, its great that the song is reaching a new generation of music fans. We celebrate Van Go Lion’s innovative new recording, and have no doubt that it will add to this continuing success.”. Good job!

♫ Van Go Lion: Shattered Dreams (Johnny Hates Jazz cover)

Van GO Lion’s singles ‘Body Moves’ and ‘We Don’t Miss A Beat’ are out now.

New track and reMix from Echoes

London’s SynthPop bright hopes Echoes , today, treat us all to a brand new track.

‘Thousand Suns’ is a beautiful ballad that is compelling and enveloping. Awash with Echoes, now trademark, mixture of melancholy and hope the epic seven minutes is an emotional journey of longing with a suitably uplifting conclusion as the beat kicks in. Narrative music, you gotta’ love it!

♫ Echoes – Thousand Suns

Echoes have also recently wrapped up reMixing Matt & Kim’s new single ‘Block After Block’ giving the track a bit of a Balearic feel, perfect for sunrise moments. Artists who can convey emotion musically as well as Echoes are all to rare, we can’t wait for their first proper release.

♫ Matt & Kim – Block After Block (Echoes Club mix)

Matt & Kim’s ‘Block After Block’ is released 11th July on Different Recordings.

33hz’s new single

Liquid summer gold drips from the speakers when you put on 33hz new single ‘Under The Sun’.

The New York Disco duo are releasing a new album in the Autumn and coming in just before that is this single. A smooth, soulful ,beach jam with an early 90’s electronic R&B flavour. Prins Thomas is on the mix with fun, cosmic, Balearic groove in one of his classic Diskomikses. Both sides of the record are pure crusin’ music. Enjoy.
