The Kids Are Radioactive reMix frenzy!

theKidsAreRadioactive

Binary Records resident Electro-House guy The Kids Are Radioactive has send on over his two latest mixes. It been a few months since we’ve heard for this, relative, youngster but these mixes show a definite progression in his style.

Tackling Lady GaGa’s worldwide hit ‘Bad Romance’ and Shane Silver’s ‘Abyss’, he really knocks it out the park with his Lady GaGa mix. There is one particular riff up in this pretty busy mix, that just works perfectly, his work on the vocals too shows and almost flawless understanding of what works on the dancefloor. Some of the sounds in his Shane Silver are a little too Virusey/Trancey for my personal tastes but when it kicks in it has got a completely rockin’ Electro groove.

Check some older, original, tracks by TKAR including the smooth Nu-Disco/Dirty Electro jam ‘Higher’, featuring LexiconDon, it’s still a killer tune

Hot Chip cover Shakira’s She Wolf

HotChip04

Hot Chip are on the covers tip again! The band recently covered Shakira’s ‘She Wolf’ for Jo Whiley’s Radio 1 show.

I love the fact that Hot Chip perform so many covers, not only does it produce some wicked output but it also show how passionate the guys are about music, not just their own.

So, yes, it is a bit funny and it is a bit of a novelty…but it is also actually a really good track, some nice riffs and some of the best vocoding I have heard in a while! I wonder what the band are planning to cover next?

Hot Chips recent album, ‘One Life Stand’ is out right flippin’ now!

TwoDoorCinemaClub03

26th April in nearly upon us, that’s when the latest volume of Kitsuné Music’s Maison series is released. Maison 9, ‘The Petit Bateau Edition Or The Cotton Issue’, amongst a who host of shockingly good artists, some new, some welcome returns, features The Twelves reMix of Two Door Cinema Club’s forthcoming single ‘Something Good Can Work’.

The Twelves bring their customary Nu-Disco flavour to the Indie tune. It’s a really good song and this reMix is right up my street, toning down the guitars and turning up the synths!

Crystal Castles new album news + new reMixes

CrystalCastles

This week Crystal Castles triumphantly announced their return with a new album and two new singles.

In an awesome move the new album, as with their début, will be self titled! Which is just a stroke of genius. The first proper single released will be a track called ‘Celestica’.

Before that, however, the duo are releasing a limited edition (500 copies) 12” of ‘Doe Deer’ to celebrate Record Store Day on 17th April.

To get you warmed up for all this good stuff here’s a couple of new reMixes. Midnight Conspiracy’s take on ‘Crimewave’ is a pretty amazing slice of 8-bit flavoured SynthPop and ‘Untrust Us’ as reMixed by Alex Zelenka, which is a deep bleepy vision of the original.

Glass Candy release new EP

Italo influenced ElectroPop act Glass Candy recently released a new EP, ‘Feeling Without Touching’, on Italians Do It Better.

The title track is actually quite old but makes for a sound into to the EP, which also features the songs ‘Sugar & Whitebread’, ‘Covered In Bugs’ and ‘Shine Like Gold & Diamonds’, as it’s a pretty apt example of Glass Candy’s slick retro Pop. Italo beats and analog synths with Ida No’s sultry vocals.

New Pony Pony Run Run single!

PonyPonyRunRun02

Amazing French Indie-ElectroPopsters Pony Pony Run Run return next month with a long awaited new single ‘Waling On A Line’. It’s a, frankly, brilliant slice of Indie-Electro that deserves all kinds of attention this summer.

There are loads of reMixes lined up for the reMix package, the stand out really has to be Lifelike’s stellar return to form with his summertime part reMix, so smooth the synths seem to melt together, all 7m50s of it is brilliant. For darker take on the tune check out French Fries’ Dubstep workout with downpitched vocals while Blatta & Inesha deliver a straight up wonky banger.

The Aston Shuffle

Released this month was The Aston Shuffle’s new single ‘i Wanna’ See You’. I think I first noticed The Aston Shuffle after their reMix of PNAU’s ‘Baby’ way back when, they’ve got a pretty unique take on Electro.

‘I Wanna’ See You’ comes across like a party banger, but it is actually a really intricate track with really smooth vocoded vocals.

NightWaves; ‘Sweet Carrie’ reMixes

NightWaves03

Binary Records guys NightWaves’ single ‘Sweet Carrie was released a few days ago and despite having sung it’s praises we think you might still need some convincing.

So here we have for you some of the reMixes that come with the single, kicking off with LexiconDon, who keep hold of the chilled summer vibe but pull it in more of a straight ElectoPop direction with stunning results. While everyone else in the world is chilling to this tune in the sun with a beverage, Walter Sobcek heads straight for the dancefloor with his take on the track leaving Alfa to crack out an arpeggio driven Electro reMix. It’s a storming reMix package, well worth a purchase!
