The fact that Debbie Gibson’s ‘Electric Youth’ is from 1989 feels a little wrong somehow. Anyway, I’m dropping it ‘cos no-one reads this thing on a Saturday anyway! Besides, if a painfully hip Canadian ElectroPop duo can name themselves after the song that counts for something…right?

Neo Disco Machine hails from the Russian Federation and has just dropped his first EP of disco flavoured SynthWave. For free!
The ‘Break The Ice’ EP contains four top quality slices of vintage synth fuelled electronic dancefloor sauce. For me the two standout tracks are ‘I’ve been Looking For You’, an Electro Disco tracks driven by a relentless arpeggio which adds in a little Disco and some nice vocal manipulation, and the title track, a dark Electro track which provides the backing for a space-age synth lead. Neo Disco Machine has compiled just the right amounts of Disco and Dreamwave in his music, which is a little more diverse than your standard SynthWave stuff and give him the edge to stand out from the crowd.

Here’s the video for Hot Chip/2Bears man Joe Goddard’s excellent single ‘Gabriel’.
The video is a little underwhelming really. I kept expecting something to happen. really nice tune though.
‘Gabriel’ is our now on DFA.

I have always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with The Whip, a times I find them to be pure Indie-Electro dancefloor genius who perfectly capture of the catchy Pop song with their own edge, at other times I find them lazy, uninspired and mediocre. I’m still excited to hear the forthcoming album though, hopefully it will fall into the former category.
In the meantime, here’s a reMix of the track ‘Secret Weapon’ by one of the best Electro producers, not just in the UK, but in the World Alex Metric. Metric completely works this mix taking the best elements of The Whip and morphs them into a peak time, hands-in-the-air, three minutes of amazingness.

Birdy Nam Nam are back, I honestly didn’t think they were around anymore. They are about to release their ‘Goin’ In’ single which shows they have lost none of their in-your-face electro edge.
The video is suitably bizarre, seeing as Machine Molle, WillSweeney and So Me had a hand in it.
The ‘Goin’ In’ EP is released 5th September.

Leeds based Nu-Disco producer Ghosts Of Venice does a storming job on his new reMix of Now In Stereo’s ‘Away.
In full on beach party mode Ghosts Of Venice keeps the track rocking the whole way though. A simple but solid bassline drives the whole track to dancefloor ecstasy while the cut-up vocals samples, that blended into the original, here are a Disco air-raid siren warning you of impending Funk.

‘Away’ is out soon on Satan’s Circus.

Awesome news. The Magician is finally ready to drop his first proper solo single!
‘I Don’t Know What To Do’, with Jeppe on vocal duties, is as good as we would have expected. The Magician has layered his electronic Disco with a really nice late 80’s House sound, the piano and the 909 rimshots give the track a real retro feel. Even the vocals are pretty late 80’s. but this isn’t cheap nostalgia, this is a serious House tinged ElectroPop track.
♫ The Magician (Feat. Jeppe) – I Don’t Know What To Do (Original)
‘I Don’t Know What To Do’ is released 3rd October on Kitsuné and features reMixes from Plastic Plates and our boy Fabian. Can’t wait.
