From the critically acclaimed ‘Lifetime Pt. 1’ EP on Brilliantine records comes the new video for Pelifics & Electric Youth’s ‘Wish It Could Last’.
I love a video with a narrative, and this Peter Diaz directed clip certainly has that.
The ‘Lifetime Pt 1’ EP is out now with part 2 coming in April.

The video for The Supermen Lovers’ new single ‘Say No More’ has landed.
What’s going on in the clip that accompanies this twisted Nu-Disco tune? I couldn’t say. Is it as random as it looks? Who can tell?
‘Say No More’ is out now.

Duck and cover, Dragonette are back. The first bomb to drop from their new album, ‘Let It Go’ is the first single and title track. Power ElectroPop incoming!
‘Let It Go’ is full-on, in-your-face, ElectroPop awesomeness. Upbeat and fun, with a bouncy groove, the new single is the Canadian’s on top form. As with most of their recent tracks, this is total synthesizer assault. A hint of Dreamwave gives ‘Let It Go’ a nice summery feel over is pure anthemic Pop. Big synths, big beats, big sing-along-lyrics and probably headed for doing big things in the charts.

Fridge Magnets are a Glaswegian/Aberdonian Indie-Electro outfit who have just won best Electronic act at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards and are now setting their sights south of the wall.
Check out the video for their single ‘Death Of Rock ‘N’ Roll’ for a taste of what to expect in their big, anthemic, epic ElectroPop. It’s pretty rousing stuff with ballsy impassioned vocals and a nice mix of infections melodies and chainsaw synths.
If your in London this months you can check out Fridge Magnets on 18th April at Notting Hill Arts Club and 21st April at The Nest in Dalston.

Our favourite Serbian purveyor of all things big and Housey SevdahBABY is back with Djixx for his new single, ‘Izvini Dušo Izvini’.
‘Izvini Dušo Izvini’ finds the duo in a summery mood with a sure-fire hit for the warmer months and a video that sees Djixx go through more wardrobe changes that a Madonna show.

This weekend French Express main man Perseus dropped another new free tune, and like ‘Seychelles’, it doesn’t disappoint.
The Mary J. Blige sampling ‘Love In Zanzibar’ is exotic Disco at it’s finest and although the vocal snippet dominates the track, it’s the synth bassline that is the real draw here. It plays out a robotic Funky groove which provides the whole route for the rest of the track to be smooth and soulful over. File this under ‘perfect tunes for lazy summer days’.

Last night, on his final BBC Radio 1 show Rave renaissance man Kissy Sell Out premiered a brand new tune featuring the vocal stylings of our reigning ElectroPop monarch, Queen Of Hearts.
‘You’re Not The One’ may be in it’s infancy as a track but it’s already sounding like it could take festival season by storm. Whether this is what the finished product will sound like is anyone’s guess but I’m pretty much expecting to be dancing to this in a muddy field in a few months time. Queen Of Hearts’ own new double A-side single, ‘Neon’/’Tears In The Rain’, which was also débuted on the radio in the past few days, should be out 14th May.

One of our favourite labels, the awesome Mullet Records is celebrating it’s 50th release, Bastian’s Happy Flight’s ‘EP01’ with a free download to promote the amazing reMix package it has in store.
‘EP01, the début EP from this Australian five piece is crammed full with eight tracks. Four Originals and four reMixes, all blissed out funky ElectroPop with a Disco twist. The lead track, ‘It’s OK’, is pure summer anthem material. A slick Indie-Electro backing for some seriously lush Dreamwave synths with rousing vocals and building layers of sound giving the tune an eipc quality. Of remaining the original tracks our favourite is ‘In My Mind’, a laid back slice of Disco laden soulful ElectroPop with synth bass and piano working together to create a sunrise vibe. The signature of the original tracks are funky electronic and powerful, emotive vocals, which proved an excellent jump off point for the reMixes. Amongst which are Dublin Aunts deep ‘90’s House take on ‘It’s OK’, with it’s hammering House piano, which managers to inject a little Disco into it’s retro club sound and Mullet head honcho Casio Social Club’s ‘Heavy Disco Edit’, which does exactly what it says on the tin. expect big bouncy synth bass and wicked Disco licks.

Stereowave are a duo separated by an entire continent. One in LA one in NYC who, thanks to technology, were able to pass tracks back and forth and put together a pretty special EP.
The only downside I can see to this situation is, on listening to Stereowave’s self-titled début EP, you come to realise that this is music meant to be played live. It’s big, powerful ElectroPop infused with a Disco funk and, and here’s where they differentiate themselves from the pack, an anthemic, almost Rocky structure. It’s actually pretty hard to pinpoint exactly where Stereowave sit musically, there’s so much going on in terms of styles and influences. Once minute they will sound like big Scandinavian stadium SynthPop, the next they will drop some Disco strings or some Jazzy electric piano. It’s a ballsy EP, with a raw quality to it, amongst the soulful vocals and groove sit dynamic buzzsaw synths and EBM beats. So you see, it’s like Funky EBM, or aggressive Disco, or soulful Electro, or just PowerPop that draws it’s DNA from all over the electronic spectrum. Whatever it is, I bet it’s awesome live.
