Little Jinder’s new video

So it looks like Swedish ElectroPop firecracker Little Jinder has given up on trying to be called just ‘Jinder’ and we can all breathe a sigh of relief and call her Little Jinder again.

Here’s her new single ‘Without You’, it’s a impressive mix of ElectroPop, Dubstep and a hint of Drum & Bass.

‘Without You’ is out this week on Trouble & Bass

Stay Ali’s new EP

stay ali

This week saw the release of a brand new Stay Ali EP on Technofavrik (the label of one Monsieur Adi).

‘Koaligula’ is the title track and it’s a beautifully crafted slice of laid back. Scandinavian Electronica. Don’t worry, there is a solid beat in there, but it’s layered thick with lush synth organs, biting leads and haunting melodies. Effortlessly pleasing to listen to, ‘Koaligula’ is like a meeting of Røyksopp and Jean-Michel Jarre with just a hint of a nod toward the Disco.

The ‘Koaligula’ EP is out now.

Lazerhawk remakes Powerglove’s ‘Hunters’

the-plague

There’s a moment in the Grindhouse movie Hobo With A Shotgun that introduces the badassery of two armoured demons/cyborgs know as The Plague. This murderous slaughter scene is soundtracked by a Powerglove track called ‘Hunters’.

‘Hunters’ has never been released (although the whole track is on one of the DVD extras for the movie) so Powerglove’s peer Lazerhawk has released his own version of the track into the wild. Lazerhawk’s take on ‘Hunters’ is just as intense as the original. Total John Carpenter-esque 80’s synth movie music with a dancefloor twist. Driving and powerful with a hint of horror, the digital bass and icy lead lines will keep you captivated.

Pharao Black Magic drops another Heliopolis EP track

PharaoBlackMagic

Pharao Black Magic have released the lead track from their forthcoming ‘Heliopolis’ EP for your listening pleasure.

‘The Eye Of Horus’ is a bouncy synthesizer Disco joint that shows off this duos  skills both at groove and melody. I have a feeling that this track will be heating up many people’s summers, it’s pretty Sc-fi Disco cosmic but have a nice sunrise quality to it too, largely due to the laid back piano running thorough. The EP drops in a couple of weeks, just in time for the tail end of festival season.

♫ Pharao Black Magic – The Eye Of Horus

The ‘Heliopolis’ EP is released 22 August on Nang Records.

Ali Jamieson

alijamieson

Ali Jamieson is a total synth geek, synth journo and one quarter of the band J-Treole. He’s also the man who produced ‘Four Thirty’, and it kicks ass.

A mid-tempo Nu-Disco jam with a dirty groove, ‘Four Thirty’ expertly counterpoints gritty chainsaw synths with slick Disco and Funk leads. The track is smooth and sexy as hell, the laid back analog vibing conjuring up nothing but good times .
