Marina And The Diamonds’ new single

Marina And The Diamonds’ next single from her forthcoming ‘Electra heart’ album is ‘Primadonna’.

this time she’s rocking a big Electro sound, as far as attempts at a big Marina dance track it’s a million times better than the Stargate produced mis-step ‘Radioactive’, I still can’t shake the feeling that Marina is being forced in with bland dance producers by her record label. Which is a shame, given room to do her own thing, as with her first record, the results are amazing.

‘Primadonna’ is out soon.

Housse De Racket & Hey Champ!

HousseDeRacket

It’s all happening for Housse De Racket right now. They’re about to embark on a big North American tour and their single ‘Chateau’ is about to drop on Kitsuné .

‘Chateau’  is one of the highlight of their ‘Alésia’ album and the reMix package looks like it’s going to be storming. This reMix from Chicago gang Hey Champ! is the sweetest of sweet big Disco sounds. Big ‘70’s Disco stabs and wicked guitar licks make up the groove quota for this tune while the whole thing is made massive with thick, lush strings. The original vocal is treated to a fair amount of chopping, which Hey Champ! use perfectly to keep the energy up.

♫ Housse De Racket – Chateau (Hey Champ! reMix)

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

Pyramid’s new EP

Pyramid

Frances finest purveyor of Sci-Fi soundscapes, Pyramid, has release yet another EP, the man is a SynthWave machine!

‘Life Above The Stars’ is a four track masterpiece in bright, piercing synths and bassy machine beats. From the EP’s opener, Trouble, a rich, rousing electronic epic you are welcomed into Pyramid’s futuristic dystopia where his shifting arpeggios and layered Vangelis synth work soundtracks your every move. The thing we love about Pyramid is the way he mixes so much into his style. Bit’s of B-Boy Electro, bits of synthesizer Disco, bits of the electronic instrumental works of Jarre, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream, to create his own score of the future.

DMX Krew’s new EP

dmx_01

Coming soon on Voltaire Records is the latest EP from one of our favourite artists, the almighty DMX Krew.

‘East Side Boogie’ sees a welcome return of the Electro Funk, Moog Disco and Vodocder DMX Krew, with EDMX. The title track is all B-Boy Beats, New York Disco chords and tons of poppin’ electro toms. It;s the perfect Breaker’s anthem, a call to uprock with a Disco flavour. The EP contains six track of cosmic, electronic, real Electro. Vintage drum machine beats hammer out robotic rhythms while fat analog synths craft atmospheres think with groove. This is 1981’s future, when the streets of The Bronx moves to an army of funky robots. I like the fact that EDMX does what the hell he likes, and you can never tell whether w DMX Krew release will be ElectroPop, B-Boy Electro, Moog Disco or something more experimental. But this kind of melodic, deep, Electro is where my DMX Krew preference lies. Can’t wait for the ‘East Side Boogie’ EP to be released.

♫ DMX Krew – East Side Boogie (Original)

♫ DMX Krew – Turing Test

♫ DMX Krew – Mind Bombs

♫ DMX Krew – East Side Boogie (reMix)

‘East Side Boogie’ is released soon.

More new music from Mitch Murder

Mitch Murder

After a period of quiet, once SynthWave maestro Mitch Murder released his awesome ‘Current events’ album, brand new tracks from the Sweedish producer are becoming a weekly occurrence!

That’s no bad thing though, his latest ‘Glass Cities’ is just the latest in amazing, atmospheric tracks. Quiet and reserved, with synths like raindrops, the intro to ‘Glass Cities’ creates the mood for the whole track. Spacious and mysterious, which a slightly oriental felling and when the beat and bassline kick in, you know something is going down in the metropolis. I don’t really need to reiterate that Mitch Murder is pretty much the king of retro synthesizer soundtrack-esque tunes, but now you know what to expect, but the cinematic bassline and the hints of Jarre’s ‘Zoolook’ are particular highlights of this one.

Teen Daze’s new track

teen daze

Vancouver Chillwave/SynthWave crossover producer Teen Daze will be releasing his début album ‘all Of Us, together’ in May. This new track, ‘Treten’, is just a taste of what’s to come.

‘Treten’ is typical of Teen Daze’s sound. Lush synthesizer atmospheres layered thick over retro synth bass and melodies. A tack that’s both dancefloor friendly and hypnotically ambient. When you focus in on the tracks core it’s a sweet, nostalgic peice of ElectroPop, playful with shifting arpeggios and a soaring lead line. Then the track is washed with heavy synth pads it give it a hazy, dreamlike quality. The album should be the perfect summer accompaniment.

♫ Teen Daze – Treten

Teen Daze’s ‘All of Us, Together’ is released 22nd May on Lefse Records.

Cosmonaut Grechko reMixes Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Benjamin Francis Leftwich

With over 24,000 ‘likes’ on Facebook I feel kinda’ like I should know who Benjamin Francis Leftwich is. but I don’t. On fist glance he appears to be a reasonably talented, but dreary, Folky singer, the kind that is hard to get away from these days. No matter, Cosmonaut Grechko to the rescue as he takes BFL’s track of last year ‘Box Of Stones’ and makes it something exciting and beautiful.

Grechko’s talent consistently amazes us, this reMix is just inspired. Francis Leftwich’s vocals take on a whole new lease of life in Grechko’s hands, giving the an injection of adrenaline and and IV drip of emotion. A smooth summer Dreamwave groove and some shiny synth flourishes weave in and out of the cut-up vocals to create the perfect sunshine track. Full of feeling, full of optimism, Grechko nails it once again.

♫ Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Box Of Stones (Cosmonaut Grechko Discoteque Mix)

Grechko’s main reMix is available of the deluxe version of Benjamin Francis Leftwich’s album.
