The Parisian master of Poppy French Electro with a Baroque flavour datA is finally back. Having release some of our favourite records of all time David Guillon has been quite for a while, but the wait is over and ne are now treated to the first glimpse of things to come. And it’s fun and funky as hell.
Taken from the forthcoming Ekler’O’ShocK compilation ‘EOS.MMX – The Summer Solstice Edition’, which features an awesome tracklist, this new datA track features the crooning vocals of fellow Frenchman Sacha Di Manolo. It plays on datA’s past work with Baroque melodies over driving French Disco sounds whilst working that into a ‘70’s Pop arrangement. Keeping the Disco groove at it’s core, datA applies his shiny synths to a mellow Prog Rock song, whilst not diving into the Prog Rock deep end like fellow French Electro legends Justice datA certainly brings that vibe to his track. ‘Mélodie’ might not necessarily slay many peak time dancefloors, but it will certainly put a smile on the face of all who hear it.

Out today is the new single from London-based Italian ElectroDisco nutjobs Fanny Games. LApo Frost and James Brivido are regularly tearing it up across the capital (including making some noise while I was trying to launch an album) and are now ready to unleash their theme song, ‘In The Club (On The Street)’ on an unsuspecting listening public.
Throw Electro-House, Nu-Disco, Italo and French Touch into a blender set to decimate and this is the results. A juggernaut of a tune driven by Vocoded chanting and chainsaw synths. I get that the vocoded vocals are saying “In The Club (On The Street)”, but it sounds a lot like “Intruder Alert” from ‘Talking Android Attack’, one of the first computer games with voice synthesization on the Dragon 32, which actually kidna’ adds to the cool. ‘In The Club (On The Street)’ is a full-on dancefloor destroyer, and surprisingly melodic. reMix duties are covered by Luxar, who starts off with shuffling, fidgety ,beasts but soon warps the track into something more akin to Cosmic Disco with a weird, but funky, mixture of ‘90’s House elements and futuristic galactic voyages. Fanny Games live in a world of their own, if you decide to join them, and we suggest you do, tread carefully. No-one gets out of here alive.

London avant-garde ElectroPop chick Charli XCX drops der début US EP this week which sees her recent successful single ‘Nuclear Seasons’ with a new track ‘You’re The One’ and a couple of reMixes. It’s bee quite a journey for Charli these past few years, from her bubblegum beginning to to her more mature, intricately crafted sound she displays today (which I refuse to call GothPop *shakes head*).
‘You’re The One’ is absolutely beautiful. Aggressive Industrial rhythms and growling bass juxtapose with lush Vangelis-esque futuristic soundscape synths and, more than any of her tracks to date, ‘You’re The One’ shows of Charli’s voice to be a million times more versatile, and at times so much more warm and passionate, that I had previously thought. This is proper melancholic Pop, the kind rarely found outside of the ‘80’s, melancholic shot through this a streak of optimism, and we’re a bit hooked.

Sarajevan Disco & SynthWave producer’s Syncroft latest jam is very very good. Check out my writing skills there I’ve been sitting here trying to think of what to write about ‘So Fresh’, but it’s hard ‘cos I keep getting distracted by how very very good it is. It’s like someone put all the things I like in instrumental dance music into a bowl and baked an Electro cake just for me.
So, Syncroft bills the track as Progressive House, well forget about that because it isn’t, let’s chalk that up to SoundClouds poor crop of genre choices. What it is is a melting pot if Disco, SynthWave and B-Boy Electro, and long time readers will know that’s pretty much all I need. On the prog side of things there is a slight Prog Trance groove to the track as a whole, especially in the beat and the lower bassline, and the sweeps, OK, so it is a bit Proggy, but on top of that you got this digital B-Boy bassline and twisting Disco leads and it all just works, OK? Oh I don;t care what it is, did I mention it was very very good?

Arc Neon is a relatively new UK producer who was previously part of London based Indie-Electro four peice Wolf And Yeti. With a new name and a new sound Arc Neon promises to deliver socially charged SynthWave with a melodic edge.
Arc Neon isn’t the first SynthWave artist to use ‘80’s news report samples for the basis for a track, but they way he does it certainly blends better than most. Running throughout ‘Beyond Our Control’ is an unsettling recap of some of the major disasters, both natural and man-made, that plagued North America and The World during the ‘80’s, this narrative both sits in a musically subtle place and adds an air of nervous tension to the track. This allows Arc Neon’s lush retro synths and attention to the importance of hooks and melody to shine, the melancholic rhythm section contracting with lead line full of optimism and the samples lending import to the whole track. Well be keeping out eye on Arc Neon in the future, he’s got an EP out soon.

Last week London based French ElectroPop duo The Penelopes dropped their latest single , the awesomely onomatopoeic ‘Summer Life’, now there is a video too, check it out.
Directed by Mattias Erik Johansson, you don’t get much more summery than hanging out in the desert and shining the sun in people eyes, but c’mon guys, far too hot for all that fire.
While you’re hear check out our San Francisco’s finest Nu-Disco export Viceroy’s reMix of the track. Joining Gigamesh and Style of Eye, Viceroy does his best to add a little US beach party Disco to the Euro summer jam, and succeeds in fine form, creating a bouncy cocktail of a track.

We haven’t really heard from French producer Ace Attack in quite a while, but he’s just released a new EP, for free no less. And it just goes to prove that the man hasn’t been sitting on his laurels, he’s obviously been busy down in the studio and now it;s time for him to, as it says on the tin, come out of hiding.
The EP is basically a collection of reMixes, two of the tracks are billed as originals, but are based so strongly on existing tracks they might as well be reMixes too, in fact the EP is called ‘Ace Attack reMixes’. The lead track on the EP is ‘Out Of Hiding’, which is based on, or a reMix of, Pamela Stanley’s Italo/Hi-NRG classic ‘Coming Out Of Hiding’ from 1983. Ace Attack brings the track right up to date but keeps the retro flavour of the track. It’s a really good choice of vocal to use, realty period sounding and Ace Attacks works them for every drop of Italo goodness. While not actually doing much to the original track, Ace Attack certainly make it more friendly to contemporary dancefloors. The rest of the EP continues updating classic tracks, sometimes subtly in the case of ‘Running Back to You’, sometimes getting a complete makeover in the case of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’. Renaming reMixes as original tracks is a bit weird, but you can’t fault the music, top quality retro Electro & Disco. Pick up the EP and find out.

Here on electronic rumors, like most reputable web music publication, don’t use teasers. We don’t use clips, we don’t use trailers and we don’t use excerpts. For obvious reasons. This is a pretty hard and fast rule, however there is probably about four artists in the world who could make us break that rule. The Presets are one of them. We love The Presets, it cannot be understated how much we love The Presets, the perfect combination of Pop, Electro-House and ElectroPunk and one of the best live bands in electronic music. For them, we break the rules.
So imagine our excitement when a cryptic email landed in the electronic rumors Inbox with nothing but a URL, youthintrouble.com and some flashing .gifs. The website loops a YouTube video that the Electro duo posted to their Facebook page mentioning they were working on album three. Get you ears around the pumping electronic madness, all 40 seconds of it!
More details should be coming at the end of the month. Exciting times! Check out youthintrouble.com and keep an eye on the YouthInTrouble twitter account.
