Pony Pony Run Run

Getting some major airplay in Europe is French ElectroPop trio Pony Pony Run Run’s latest single ‘Hey You’. The accompanying reMixes are a really great crop of tunes.

Pony Pony Run Run themselves have dropped a stunning dance reMix. Heavier than the original it’s a ice cold Nu-Disco/ElectroPop mashup.

StereoHeroes have fun with their reMix, warping sound and bringing an old school dance flavour before dropping the Disco riffs while sayCet go completely the opposite direction and deliver an ambient, chilled noise lullaby that sounds like the world winding down.

Emil & Friends – Downed Economy

Emil & Friends have dropped a whole mess of reMixes of their forthcoming ‘Downed Economy’ 7”.

The original is a strange and wonderful Synth Funk garage jam. Making the track their own are Dim Mak’s Dan Oh who ups the groove factor to 9.5 with dirty synths and wobbly bass. Mr. Vegas’ version is a lot more abrasive, rapid fire bass and heavy beats seem to pin down the floaty vocals while the same vocals sit perfectly with Beaumont’s atmospheric retro House track.

Beaumont’s back

electronic rumors fav, Beaumont, has dropped another new track on us, and it’s a corker.

Perfect to these hot summer nights, the Aussie has turned in a smooth Electro-House jam, Mid-tempo with warm bass and arpeggios, the track has a retro lead line that just screams ‘driving thorough the city at night’ montage!

Check it out:

Marina’s not a robot…

Post-Tori quirkpop’s of the moment Marina And The Diamonds are all set to release their ‘The Crown Jewels EP’ soon and the lead track on the EP ‘I Am Not A Robot’ has been given the reMix treatment by The Shoes and Starsmith.

the Shoes turn in a really cool Electro funker which shouldn’t go well with Marina’s vocals…but does, while Starsmith does something a bit more classic ElectroPop, it’s pretty epic with layers of fantastic synth work.

The Faint reMixed by La Dolce Vita

We’ve previously featured on of his reMixes here, now La Dolce Vita has dropped three official reMixes into the electronic rumors Inbox. Most interestingly (to me anyway) is a reMix of The Faint’s ‘Forever Growing Centipedes’ from their last album, ‘Fascination’.

Turning a punky garage Electro track into a dancefloor epic the reMix finds a way to perfectly match Fink’s Vocals with a bouncy, almost Italo, bassline and slick production.

LDV has also performed reMix duties for US Electro rockers Innerpartysystem.

Don Diablo & Example

Already getting as tidy bit of Radio1 airplay is ‘Hooligans’, the first single from Don Diablo & Example’s forthcoming album.

This is hardcore, bullshit free, boot stomping electro

There’s a lot of reMixes out there, here are three of my favourites and the original extended. Noisia ups the French House flavour a bit while Wire and A1 Bassline keep it strictly Dubstep:

New Heartsrevolution video!

With Kitsuné Music’s imminent release of their seventh Kitsuné Maison compilation, ‘The Lucky Ones’, Heartsrevolution have premiered the video for the song they have featured on the album.

Entitled ‘薔薇と彼女の王子’, which translates as ‘The Rose And Her Prince’ the tune is a bit of a departure from the usual happy noise terror we are used to with the Heart’s Challenger lot, it’s more downtempo, more chilled, but I am so in love with this track!

‘薔薇と彼女の王子’ is just one of the fantastic cuts on Kitsuné Maison 7 which is released June 1st.

Valerie And Friends

Tomorrow sees the release of the incredibly eagerly anticipated first compilation from the Valerie collective.

I can’t stress enough how team Valerie are producing some of the best synthesizer music around today, their particular take on Electro-House comes with a huge helping of retro 80’s cool. With a definite slant toward 80’s soundtracks (particularly of the straight-to-video teen/horror/action variety) you can’t help but imagine all the various acts involved hanging out and watching 80’s pulp movies before heading off to their studios

Featuring retro graphic design work, as usual, by The Zonders, the line up for the album is Minitel Rose, Anoraak, Jupiter, DVAS, College, Keenhouse, Electric Youth, Russ Chimes, Maethelvin, The Outrunners, Futurecop!, Moulinex & Press, Release, SymbolOne, Xinobi, Narctrax, Loose Shus and Steve Moore.

Here are Futurecop! and Russ Chimes’ contributions; both great examples of the Valerie sound and what to expect on this record, soaring leads, disco beats and crazy arpeggios…

♫ Russ Chimes – Daytona (zShare) (MediaFire)

You can view the whole tracklist and listen to the album streaming here.

The Valerie gang are soon launching their new site, ValerieCollective, and ‘Valerie and Friends‘ is released May 27th on ESR.
