Capital Cities

LA’s ElectroPop duo Capital Cities have dropped this awesome slice of summery good vibes.

These beard enthusiasts have their début EP coming out this months and if ‘Safe And Sound’ is anything to go by this good times from here on in. It three minutes of ElectroPop wonder that’s so feel good that the addition of perky trumpets seems a bit redundant, but welcome nonetheless.

♫ Capital Cities – Safe And Sound

‘Safe And Sound’ is taken from their their self-titled début EP, due out on June 18th.

Teenage Bad Girl’s ‘Backwash’

Paris duo Teenage Bad Girl’s combination of ElectroPop and abrasive Electro has always has a Rocky edge to it, but their new album boarders on straight-up ElectroRock at times.

There’s heavy use of Rock samples throughout, but that only adds to the melodic chaos that is ‘Backwash’. Powerful distorted analog synths run all the way through the album but aside from that it’s a record that flips from one style to another, regularly, and with relative ease. There’s the big ElectroRock we’ve already heard in the album’s first single ‘Keep Up With You’ and the vocoder and guitar mash-up of ‘The Wave’ which rubs up against some beautiful synthetic Electro tracks like ‘Hold Me Tight’ and ‘Fast Blood Delivery’, a pure 90’s rave tune in ‘Fright Night’ and the Chicago House of ‘Tonton Funk’. If you’re into upfront electronic dance music then there will be something for you to love in this album.

Personally I favour the more synthesizer based tracks on ‘Backwash’, check out my two favourites and revisit the single, ‘Keep Up With You’. The whole album can be streamed here.

Gigamesh re-edits The Popular People’s Front

I was turned onto this Gigamesh edit of Disco troupe The Popular People’s Front’s ‘Part Over Here’ after Ride The Universe’s appearance on Fear Of Tigers’ ‘The Guestlist’ show.

The addition of an Electro beat and a nice running arpeggio really adds to the track and highlights that awesome Funk bass. This track becomes the ultimate expression of Cosmic Disco, perfect for partying in the sunshine (when it gets here!). Gigamesh’s EP won’t be here until August apparently, so it’s a good job he’s turning out edits like this one to keep us going until then!

‘Party Over Here’ is taken from The Popular People’s Front’s ‘Limited Series 03’ EP.

Ren Riz and Van Go Lion team up

One of the unsung heroes of the Melbourne Nu-Disco scene Ren Riz’s latest track came as a total surprise. but a very welcome one.

Teaming up with awesome electronic Pop duo Van Go Lion, Ren drops ‘Faces’, an total high energy Disco influenced ElectroPop track. The big vocals of Van Go Lion’s Amy in combination with Ren’s digital slap bass and big 80’s chords make a whole that is greater than the sum of it’s parts. A total Nu-Electro-Disco-Pop workout that should have you heading straight for the dancefloor.

Goin’ Old School: The Human League – Love Action (I Believe In Love) in memory of Martin Rushent

Legendary producer Martin Rushent passed away at the weekend aged 63. Marin was responsible for not only shaping the sound of SynthPop and ElectroPop but, with the The League Unlimited Orchestra’s ‘Love And Dancing’ was a pioneer of the reMix world. He also produced the greatest album of all time, The Human League’s ‘Dare’, in 1981. Here is ‘Love Action (I Believe In Love)’. The world is slightly worse off today.

Overthrill returns with new track

Finally! Overthrill is back in the game!

Oh how we’ve missed his massive cut-up chainsaw disco. His new track ‘Perfect Match’ he goes straight for the Electro jugular with more broken Disco than even the most steadfast Ed Banger fan could handle. It’s four minutes of killer bass and Disco samples fed through a blender and the funkiest thing I’ve heard this week so far!

David E. Sugar new single

David E. Sugar’s third single from his ‘Memory Store’ album is on it’s way.

‘Fingers On The Button’ is quintessential Sugar, toytown synths and an Indie sensibility mix up to produce a really personal, yet quite dancey tune. David has had his hand in so many different styles of ElectroPop before reaching the place where he is now, and that experience and influence was such a benefit to an amazing album and it’s singles.

♫ David E. Sugar – Fingers On The Button

‘Fingers On The Button’ is released 13th June on Sunday Best.

4TrakZ – Love Zone

We haven’t heard from 4TrakZ in a while, but if this track is anything to go by he’s been using his time productively.

‘Love Zone (Ultra)’ sees the Lyon based producer getting some heavy Funk bass amongst his ChipTune inspired Electro. It’s a soaring slice of Electro with video game sensibilities that demands your attention.
