Breakdown reMixes Flamboyant Bella

September saw UK Indie-Popsters and MySpace darlings Flamboyant Bella release their single ‘Get A Reaction’ to much hype.

LA duo Breakdown stopped by the electronic rumors inbox to showcase the reMix they supplied for the single, and what a fantastic slice of Electro-Dance-Pop it is too!

Huge, pumping bass dominates the track which sounds great with Flo Kirton’s vocals and a slight hint of Nu-Rave about it gives it that edge.

‘Get A Reaction’ is out now on Big Life.

Fear Of Tigers album drops!

The time is upon us, Ben Berry A.K.A. Fear Of Tigers has dropped his début album and as we previously mentioned, it’s free!

Words fail to describe how good this album is, it’s really a upbeat and poppy mixture of Electro-House, Nu-Disco, Dreamwave and SynthPop.

I’ll let the music speak for itself:

♫ Fear Of Tigers – Cossus Snufsigalonica (zShare) (MediaFire)

♫ Fear Of Tigers – Friday Night At Geek Club (zShare) (MediaFire)

I was also happily surprised to find a version of ‘Anomaly (Calling Your Name)’, a trance classic originally by Libra Presents Taylor (Feat. Jan Johnston) (A.K.A. BT), which took me back, FoT has beautifully updated it:

♫ Fear Of Tigers – Calling Your Name (zShare) (MediaFire)

I am utterly gobsmacked that FoT have given us, for free, and album of insanely better quality than most paid-for releases around, let’s hope some record label drives a truck full of money up to his house!

La Roux Vs. The Subs

The Subs have had a good couple of years, with the release of their first album ‘Subculture’ on Lektroluv and a host of 12”’s and remixes.

They round off this year with a reMix of one of my favourite racks from La Roux’s self-titled début, ‘Colourless Colour’. They completely change the vibe of the track, making it more frantic which adds an urgency to Elly’s vocals

♫ La Roux – Colourless Colour (The Subs’ Popup Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

it will be interesting to see if ‘colourless Colour’ will be the next single, after the re-release of ‘Quicksand’.

Monsieur Adi

Despite the name Monsieur Adi is in fact Italian, not French. Which is surprising as there are more than a few nods to Daft Punk and Justice going on in his music.

Adi releases his début EP, ‘We Are The Romans’ (that’ll be the Italian reference then!) soon and as a teaser we can give you a listen to the title track. as we said, there is quite a strong Ed Banger influence here with distorted rhythms and samples and big majestic chords but with something of his own uniqueness about it.

♫ Monsieur Adi – We Are The Romans (Rough Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

With a few reMixes already under his belt Monsieur Adi is a name you will probably hear more of in the coming months.

Beaumont; new track

A man like Beaumont has dropped his latest offering into the electronic rumors inbox, we always look forward to Andy’s tunes here.

‘Surface Mission’ is a really intricate, chilled Electro tune with some sweet bit-crunched and distorted sounds which build up to those Disco synth strings.

Give it a listen!

Go show Andy some of your hard earned MySpace love!

New PNAU reMix

Old track, still a class tune though. PNAU’s ‘Embrace’, with Pip Brown on vocals, has been given a 2009 soup up by Swede Fredrick Carlsson.

Still just as epic, still gives you goosebumps, just with added pump!

♫ PNAU (Feat. Ladyhawke) – Embrace (Fredrick Carlsson Epic reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘embrace’ was from PNAU’s 2008 self-titled album.

Penguin Prison reMixed by Monarchy

Neon Gold certainly live up to their name, time and time again they churn out top act after top act.

Last month NG’s next hot artist Penguin Prison released his début single ‘Animal Aninal/A Funny Thing’, which generated a lot of hype with it’s bubbly ElectroPop catchiness.

Here we have a reMix of ‘A Funny Thing’ by London Indie-Synthsters Monarchy who make the track just that little bit deeper.

♫ Penguin Prison – A Funny Thing (Monarchy reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Penguin Prison have also released into the wild an instrumental of the tune.

Steed Lord; ‘Royal Ruffian’ reMix

Iceland’s crazy bassheads Steed Lord have dropped their own reMix of ‘Royal Ruffian’ taken from their album ‘Truth Serum’.

It’s a hell of a lot heavier than the original (now that the original was lightweight!), the lead synths and vocoders remain but the beats and bass hammer through the speakers.

♫ Steed Lord – Royal Ruffian (Steed Lord Club Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Go check out ‘Truth Serum’ in all it’s Nu-Rave glory!
