Embryonik reMixes IDC
Dark Future SynthWave Producer Embryonik gets in an Italo state of mind for his latest reMix as he takes on renowned Electro DJ & producer IDC’s new single ‘Everybody.
From the offset you’re presented with a relentless Moroder-esque arpeggiated bassline and beat that is a powerful driving force in this track, a robotic command to dance. But then this regimented backing soon become a platform for some seriously sweet lead lines, one of the funkiest little synth riffs I have heard in a long time. Having listened to the whole EP I can definitely say Embryonik’s reMix is the standout. This track is pure ‘80’s Electro heaven and brings to mind so many SynthPop and Italo moments and it was all made on hardware synths, Embryonik’s keeping it real!

‘Everybody’ is out now on Corsair Records.

New track from Follow Me
New York SynthWavers Follow Me are back with another new track, between Follow Me and Guy Zalaxy they’re like a Dreamwave machine these days!
‘Doomsday Device’ is a mid-tempo grinder. Built upon layers and layers of lush synths, it’s an optimistic sounding track but with an undercurrent of adversity in there. The droning synths that make up the bassline acting as a wall of oppression which the shining lead lines lift the track up from. Follow me are doing a good job these days of creating real narrative tunes, and ‘Doomsday Device’ definitely has a story to tell.

The Penelopes’ ‘Sally In The Galaxy’ video
Here’s the video for The Penelopes’ ElectroPop gem ‘Sally In The Galaxy’, out next month on Pour Le Monde Records.
The track is really fun and off-kilter so director Saman Keshavarz had a lot to live up to, and seems to have managed to capture the madcap vibe of the song really well.
‘Sally In The Galaxy’ is released 16th April on Pour Le Monde Records.

Neon Indian’s new single
Neon Indian has announced the next single from his ‘Era Extraña’ album will be ‘Hex Girlfriend’, a limited edition lime-green vinyl 7” release for this years Record Store Day preceding it’s general release.
‘Hex Girlfriend’ is a pretty raucous nostalgic teenage anthem. Both musically and lyrically reminiscent of days gone by. Alan Palomo layers retro synths with heavy bass and a chilled garage vocal for a real rawness. Despite being mostly electronic ‘Hex Girlfriend’ has a live, grittiness to it that only further brings the mod of the track.
♫ Neon Indian – Hex Girlfriend (Radio Edit)
‘Hex Girlfriend’ is taken from Neon Indian’s sophomore album ‘Era Extraña’ and the single will be released generally 28th May.

Kaleid’s new video
Kaleid are a Berlin based synth experimentalist outfit who’s recent single, ‘The Unicorn’ was reMixed by Bristol born Italo-Disco producer Antoni Maiovvi.
That reMix has not got itself a video. It’s a homage to Fulci’s Una Lucertola Con La Pelle Di Donna and does an awesome job of capturing the mood of the dark, and slightly unsettling, robotic Disco of ‘The Unicorn’.

JBAG reMix Housse De Racket
So, you’ve already hear the Mickey and Hey Champ! reMixes of Housse De Racket’s forthcoming ‘Château’ single, here’s the one we’ve been waiting for, London’s ElectroPop champion’s JBAG take the stage.
True to their ‘Hot Pop’ reMixes of old, JBAG bring a deep, rounded, funk to the mix and their ElectroPop sheen. this is definitely my favourite of the reMixes so far, that bassline is so early ‘90’s DancePop yet somehow evolves into something more Disco as the track progresses. This track just makes you want to hit the dancefloor and reminds us why we fell in love with JBAG and Boombox back in 2007/08.

The ‘Château’ single will be “out soon” on Kitsuné Music.

Daroc’s new EP
Daroc is back! It’s been a while since we heard anything from the French SynthWave producer and even longer singe we wrote about him (years in fact). But he’s just dropped a brand new EP, and it was worth the wait.
From the opening BladeRunner synth sweeps of ‘Initial’, the first track, you know you’re in for a full on Sci-Fi synth experience. The track soon kicks into a Post-Italo Electro masterpiece, driven along by an appreciated bassline the track layers neon soaked electronics and haunting melodies thick and leads into ‘Paychodio’, a track that exists at the place where Moroder and Tangerine Dream meet to record the soundtrack to a dystopian metropolis.It really shows off why Daroc is regarded so highly by many of the top electronic music producers in France, Kavinsky, Jupiter, Gaspard Augé to name a few. ‘Escale’ slows things down and lest Daroc show off his skills for creating moods and atmospheres with electronics. A peice that is beautiful and a little scary, ‘Escale’ is a nice interlude in the ‘movie’ that is ‘Destination’. The original tracks come to a close on ‘Sea Steria’, a majestic track with an almost baroque feel built on cosmic sweeps and piercing melodies. The EP rounds off with three reMixes, the best of which comes from John Lord Fonda and old school electronic rumors illumni 4TrackZ and Mmmattias who all bring some big Electro dancefloor sensibility to the tracks. I’m gonna’ go ahead and say this is one of my favourite releases of the year so far, and it’s highly recommended.
