Brite Futures

Ever wonder what became of Indie-ElectroPop funsters Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head? Well, they became Brite Futures (I presume for legal reasons) and are back with a brand new track.

‘Baby Rain’ is more good time gangly synthy Indie-Pop and confirms that the name change hasn’t affected their sound much. Catchy and summery, Brite Futures’ forthcoming album will, no doubt, be another collection of great party tunes.

Brite Future’s new album is due out 1st November.

ODahl joins Futurecop!’s N.A.S.A.

futurecop

Earlier this week we told you how Futurecop! was giving away the updated version of their track ‘N.A.S.A.’, featuring Christian Rich, as a single on SoundCloud.

Now, awesome retro Disco producer ODahl has been added to the tracklist with his take on the tune. Boy, can ODahl make it smooth! Loaded with Funk synth sounds and a Disco beat his mix is everything we’ve come to expect from ODahl and, as ever, it has that cool beach vibe.

You can pick up the whole single here.

Futurecop!’s ‘It’s Forever, Kids!’ is available on Japanese import here (delivery time isn’t bad either).

Vincent Fries & Justin Faust

Vincent Fries

Justin Faust recently guested on Vincent Fries’ ‘Bavarian Barbarian’ EP, the result being ‘Choppy Slick’ a response to Faust’s own ‘Sloppy Chick’.

Taking the bouncy riff from from the smooth Nu-Disco original, this version beefs things up a bit, adding a little grit with some distorted synths and heavy beats that counterpoints quite nicely with the shimmering retro synths to make a track that is both viscerally dancefloor and musically satisfying and crosses the Nu-Disco/Electro-House barrier with ease.

Voltaire Twins & Lifelike

Voltaire Twins

Australian SynthPop duo Voltaire Twins are giving away their new single ‘Animalia’ including the reMix package, all for the price of a Facebook ‘like’.

This brother and sister from Perth add their unique take on Indie and SynthPop to the ever growing, ever impressive Australian ElectroPop pool, having already grabbed out attention on the Kitsuné X Ponystep album a while back, the ‘Animalia’ single sees them better than ever. It’s atmospheric and moody, in a 4AD kinda’ way, but amazingly catchy too, they are definitely a welcome fresh voice in Electro. The single reMix package includes tracks from Purple Sneakers DJs, Voltaire Twins themselves and the near flawless Lifelike. The French Touch genius bounces things up with a wicked synth bassline but restrains himself so things never overpower the song.

The Scientists Of Modern Music & VanGuard

The Scientists Of Modern Music

Welsh Nu-Disco boys VanGuard have reMixed The Scientists Of Modern Music’s latest ElectroPop offering.

The single ‘Because If I die’ has been around for a couple of months now but VanGuard give it a new lease of life with their brand of twisted bass Disco. A touch of 80’s, a touch of LA Funk and loads of some of the most meticulously programmed Nu-Disco around with a feel for the dancefloor. That’s how VanGuard roll, add that to The Scientists Of Modern Music’s ElectroPop anthem and you’re onto a winner.

♫ The Scientists Of Modern Music – Because If I Die (VanGuard reMix)

‘Because If I Die’ is the first single from the album ‘A Personal Universe’, out now.

Moustache Machine reMixes Justice

justice

Hey! I’m writing a post about Justice and Uffie! It’s like it’s 2007 all over again!

The reason for this blast from the (recent) past is one of our favourite up-and-coming producers, Moustache Machine, has reMixed Justice’s Uffie featuring track ‘Tthhee Ppaarrttyy’, giving it a modern retro gloss. All digital bass and stratospheric lead lines Moustach Machine has made the track fresh again.
