Toomy Disco & HiEM & Phil Oakey!

HiEM (Bozzwell and Nicco Eastwood)’s ‘2am’ featuring the vocals of The Human League’s Phil Oakey has been knocking around for a couple of years now, but was been given a new lease of life when Toomy Disco & Fernando were asked to reMix the track.

Washing the ElectroPop original with broad strokes of Disco, Toomy Disco & Fernando lay down a severe bass and guitar lick Funk that just seem to roll under Sir Phil’s vocals. Some nice big synth chords finish off the musical job layering the track think, only to be spaced out again with some vocal echo. This is a late night groover, fact.

HiEM recently released their excellent ‘Escape From Division Street’ album.

The Naked & Famous’ ‘The Sun’ video

Here’s is the new video for The Naked & Famous’ ‘The Sun’. The track is a really cool deep SynthPop track.

Directed by Joel Kefali and Campbell Hooper for Special Problems, the video is pretty NSFW. You have been warned. There is boobs. You have been prepared.

‘The Sun’ is taken from The Naked & Famous’ début album ‘Passive Me, Aggressive You’.

♫ You Love Her Coz She’s Dead – Leap Of Desire I

You Love Her Coz She’s Dead’s new album

ylhcsd

You Love Her Coz She’s Dead are releasing their long awaited self-titled record this month. In preparation, get your ears ‘round one of the album tracks, ‘Leap Of Desire I’.

I’m going to come right out and say it, You Love her Coz She’s Dead are better than Crystal Castles. Yes, there are massive similarities in sound, and I don’t care who came first, the fact is YLHCSD write better songs. You can have all the 8-bit noise and distorted shouting in the world but you get major plus points if there is an actual song to back that up, a gold star if it’s catchy. ‘Leap Of Desire I’ is a slightly Dubstep influenced ElectroPunk-out and, here’s the thing, it’s got a good riff, good melodies and catchy vocals. We’re looking forward to this album.

You Love Her Coz She’s Dead’s album is out on 29th August and Glasstone Records.

Goin’ Old School: Fad Gadget – Collapsing New People

Frank Tovey A.K.A Fad Gadget was a genius and a pioneer. That’s science fact! 1984’s ‘Collapsing New People’ features Einstürzende Neubauten banging away on stuff in the background (as they do).

♫ Heartsrevolution – Teenage Teardrops (Who Killed JR?’s Black Flash reMix)

Who Killed JR? reMix Heartsrevolution

heartsrevolution

We haven’t seen that many entries for Heartsrevolution’s ‘Teenage Teardrops’ competition yet but with this mix sent to us by South African producer Who Killed JR? the bar is set pretty high.

Completely changing the sound of the track, WKJR? French Touches things up to 11 and sprinkles on a little RoboPop. This track has it all, a funkin’ bassline, jump out of your seat chord stabs, vocoder action and when all wrapped up words really well with Heartsrevolution’s original. Good work Who Killed JR?.

Heartrevolution’s new album, ‘Ride Or Die’ is out soon on Kitsuné Music.

Sneaky Sound System’s new single

Sneaky Sound System

They’ve been teasing us for a while now, but here it is. The Australian super Pop duo Sneaky Sound System’s next track from their forthcoming new album.

‘BIG’ follows ‘We Love’ and gives us an idea of what to expect from Black Angus & Miss Connie third album, and first for Modular Recordings, titled, ‘From Here To Anywhere’ . Slick ElectroPop with a bouncy bassline and an epic chorus. Connie Mitchell’s vocals soar over the track proving she is one of the best voices in electronic Pop. Guaranteed to please on the dancefloor, ‘BIG’ is also quite an understated, emotional track too, not as in your face as previous Sneaky Sound System singles. More mature maybe? Awesome stuff nonetheless.

‘From Here To Anywhere’ is due out in October.

LCMDF’s ‘Take Me To The Mountains’ video

LCMDF (I don’t think we are allowed to call them Le Corps Mince De Françoise anymore) are gearing up for the release of their next single ‘Take Me To The Mountains’.

Here’s the video, suitably raw and raucous for LCMDF, as is the track, but insanely catch too. ElectroPop as only LCMDF can make. Really love that late 80’s Depeche Mode-esque bass in the bridges.

‘Take Me To The Mountains’ is released 12th September with reMixes from The Orb, Mad Decent, DJ Skeet Skeet, MVSEVM and Get Well Soon.
