The return of Lé Lé

le le

MC Faberyayo, Designer Piet Parra and on of our favourite electronic musicians Rimer London are back together as Lé Lé after a couple of years working on separate projects.

They’ve just dropped the first single from their forthcoming new album. It’s called ‘Neen’ and an infectious Dutch slice of bouncy bass. Both the bassline and the melody of ‘Neen’ will work their way into your brain until you’ll be humming them all day!

♫ Lé Lé – Neen

Lé Lé’s new album is due out later this year on Magnetron Music.

Lola Dutronic covers Suicide’s ‘Keep Your Dreams’

I suppose if there was any of New York’s original ElectroPunks Suicide’s back catalogue that international Lounge SynthPopsters Lola Dutronic could cover it would be ‘Keep Your Dreams’.

LD’s version is a floaty Parisian Pop that sounds classy as always.

‘Keep Your Dreams’ is taken from the ‘New York Stories’ EP, out now.

Goin’ Old School: Eleven Pond, A Guy Called Gerald & John Parr

You’ll have notice that there hasn’t been a Goin’ Old School for a few days, that’s ‘cos it’s going to be a weekly column now. Some weeks there will be loads of vids, some weeks there will be just the one, depends how we’re feeling…

 

The Minimal Synth crowd are crazy for Eleven Pond’s 1986 hit ‘Watching Trees’, they’re pretty Italo though

A Guy Called Gerald’s ‘Voodoo Ray’, one of the greatest dance records ever made. 1989.

John Parr‘s ‘Two Hearts’ from  1986. The one that isn’t from St. Elmo’s Fire. Check the awesome keytar solo!

Jupiter reMixes Blackjoy

blackjoy

Parisian ElectroPop duo Jupiter recently announced their intentions for 2012 including a new single and their début album, all to be preceded by a string of reMixes.

The first of which is this Poppy rework of Blackjoy’s 2008 Disco funker ‘Mercurian’ Jupiter have set themselves a high bar, which loads up the original with rounded synth bass and particularly French little riffs. This awesome chunk of synthesizer Disco bodes well for Jupiter’s 2012.

Zombi reMixed by Astronomer

Zombi

Here’s an amazing new reMix of Zombi ‘Slow Oscillations’,from their ‘Escape Velocity’ EP, from Alex Egan A.K.A. Astronomer.

Originally premiered on Daniel Avery (Stopmakingme)’s Divided Love’ cassette mix, this reworking of Steve Moore and A.E. Paterra’s Sci-Fi synth epic brings a dark, brooding, Italo flavour to the track. Astronomer strikes a nice balance between a cosmic journey and a deep groove for late night dancefloors.

New EP from Pinemarten

pinemarten

Hot on the heels of his début album, ‘If You Thought There Was Any Doubt’, Derbyshire based producer Pinemarten has dropped another EP of mellow synth jams,

The ‘Here It Is’ EP contains three tracks of dreamlike electronic soundscapes and distant, hazy vocals. Pinemarten conjures up feelings of sunsets and lazy summer nights as he skilfully layers shimmering synths. Three prefect chilled tunes for the morning after.

♫ Pinemarten – I’m Trying

Todd Terje’s new EP

Todd Terje

Todd Terje’s ‘Inspector Norse’, from his forthcoming new EP  ‘It’s The Arps’, is already being hailed by some as the track of 2012.

The EP drops mid-January and the lead track is a Moroderfied synthetic Disco monster. Bouncy digital Italo bass, some amazing electro tom action and groovy little melodies all combine to create an awesome feel good  track that you can help but move to. The EP sounds like it’s gonna’ be a must buy.

♫ Todd Terje – Inspector Norse

Todd Terje’s  ‘It’s The Arps’ EP is released 16th January on his own Olsen imprint.
