Baby Monster – Ultra Violence And Beethoven reMixes

Baby Monster’s ‘Ultra Violence And Beethoven’ was crazy out-there ElectroPop genius and tore up the internet last month. With news that the single will drop November 9th on 50 Bones, we’re giving you the chance to listen to a couple of the reMixes involved.

Ireland’s Arveene & Misk strip the track back and pile on buzzsaw synths and heavy beats while IDM legends Mondkopf twist the track into something heavy and dark.

Jinder; not so Little anymore?

All’s been quite in the Little Jinder front for a while, during which time she apparently dropped the ‘Little’, now being just Jinder. Still signed to Trouble & Bass, Sweden’s Jinder is currently gearing up for the release of her next single ‘Youth Blood’ (a track that previously appeared on Trouble & Bass’ instalment of the Scion A/V sampler compilations), an ElectopPop gem, which will include reMixes by some of Sweden’s top electronic artists.

This reMix, however, comes from London’s Bok Bok which heavily vocodes the vocals and rings some heavily disjointed disco:

‘Youth Blood’ December 1st followed by a remix EP, you can hear the original version on Jinder’s MySpace.

Designer Drugs Drop Down

A couple of days ago Designer Drugs released their second single for Iheartcomix Records, a double A-Side featuring the tracks ‘Riot’ and ‘Drop Down’.

‘Drop Down’ is a frantic party banger, ominous chords and wailing synths build the tension ‘til the track slides into it’s noisy electro groove.

Guaranteed to slay on the dancefloor!

‘Riot/’Drop Down’ is out now!

Stephen Falken just Crusin’

NightWaves’ Fascination

Coming from the LA based stable, Binary, NightWaves (A.K.A. Kyle Petersen and Josh Legg) owe just as much to pure SynthPop as they do to heavy 80’s influenced Electro-House.

Heavily emotive vocals with an early Depeche Mode style isn’t always the first thing you expect from a band associated with the current crop of Disco-House (or what they are calling Dreamwave) acts, you normally expect something lighter, floatier, but it works so well and lends NightWaves an extra slice of power in their music.

The upcoming single ‘Fascination’ is original taken from the fantastic Binary compilation ‘LA Lights’ and has been given the reMix treatment by a number of artists in the last few months. amongst them Sweden’s ODahl turn the Disco-House up to 11 while We Plants Are Happy Plants make the track more of an deep epic highlighting the feeling in the vocals. Fellow Binary crew Keenhouse’s mix is probably my favourite version (other than the original!) with pure electro beats and an almost poppy synth riff.

Marina’s made my week!

Seriously! Ever since these two reMixes of Marina And The Diamonds forthcoming single, ‘Mowgli’s Road’ (Originally the B-side of ‘Obsessions’), dropped into the electronic rumors inbox I haven’t been able to stop listening to them.

And don’t make me pick between the two, I couldn’t do it. Mille’s rework is upbeat with a bouncing bassline. It’s arpeggios and strings brilliantly capture the epicness of the original while Valerie man Russ Chimes brings his 80’s styled disco funk to the track and then hits you with massive electro breakdowns.

Two seriously good reMixes:

Check the original too, in all it’s quirky brilliance!

‘Mowgli’s Road’ drops on November 16th and can be pre ordered at PureGroove, it comes B-sided with a cover of Late Of The Pier’s ‘Space And The Woods’.

The Presets’ ‘If I Know You’ reMixed

ThePresets3

Naked Highway have only gone and reMixed one of my favourite tracks by The Presets haven’t they!

Their take on ‘If I Know You’ is a full on Roland-fest, old school clean Roland sounds make up this straight up dance mix. I love this track anyway, I swear it’d be impossible to mess up a reMix with these vocals.

Really dsiggin the drums in this.

Oh, and there’s a Radio Edit in case you’re, y’know, ADD or something.

The week in Bangers: 07:06:09

The week in Bangers: While electronic rumors isn’t strictly an Electro-House blog, we do cover a lot of Electro-House that crosses over in to our realm. So many good club tunes and reMixes surface each week we can’t (and wouldn’t) cover them all, so this is a round up of some of the best from the week that we didn’t have time to dedicate individual posts to…

This weeks club roundup starts off with another reMix of La Roux’s ‘Bulletproof’ by tEPr and a Vitalic reMix of Birdy Nam Nam’s ‘The Parachute Ending’. Friendly Fires get reworked by Stuart Price A.K.A. Thin White Duke and Death To The Throne take on a Lykke Li cover of a Kings Of Leon song. Fredrick Carlsson reMixes Jonathan Johansson as Johan Agebjörn does for Friday Bridge. The Preset’s K.I.M tackles Bag Raiders’ ‘Turbo Love’ and the forthcoming Simian Mobile Disco single is given the treatment by Naum Gabo. Enjoy!

Good Luck At The Gunfight summer lovin’

“Kimberly is about a girl. Puma is about a woman.”

That’s how Good Luck At The Gunfight describe the latest tracks they dropped in the electronic rumors Inbox and when you keep that in mind it kinda’ makes sense.

We blogged GLATG a few months ago (well, raved about them really) and since then they have polished up the production and brought us two tracks that are a lot smoother than their previous delivery. With sweet lead lines and vocodered vocals these are two, in their own words, “electric summer love songs”.

I couldn’t agree more.
