Breakbot’s ‘Fantasy’ video

Here is the official video for the single version of Breakbot and Ruckazoid’s ‘Fantasy’.

Tony Frontal directed this video that is as cheesy and sexy as the tune. It’s actually a pretty funny clip. Made me chuckly anyway.

‘Fantasy’ is out late June on Ed Banger/Because Music with further reMixes from Arthur Baker and and Ruckazoid.

Housse De Racket’s ‘Roman’

Housse De Racket are giving away the first track from their forthcoming album as a taste of what’s to come.

Their second album, ‘Alesia’ is coming in August and whilst we can’t wait, ‘Roman’ will have to tide us over. It’s a powerful Indie-Electro tune bristling with gangly guitar and huge, huge, synths. Driving energy and anthemic vocals bode really well for the new record.

Housse De Racket – Roman

Housse De Racket’s second album is due out 22nd August on Kitsuné Music.

Jowie Schulner’s ‘Sunset Chase’

Jowie Schulner is head honcho over at Boombar Records, who have some tasty releases incoming, and a solo artist in his own right.

Taken from his forthcoming artist album, ‘Sunset Chase’ is a night drive classic in the making. The distilled essence of retro, 80’s soundtrack influenced, synth music complete with big reverby snares, driving arpeggios, lead synths that soar off into the distance and some crazy, crazy arpeggiated synth axe! Next time you have to drive somewhere to confront your nemesis in the final battle, make sure this is on the stereo.
