Urchins’ ‘Xylophobe’
‘Xylophobe’ is the new single from Lincoln duo Urchins.
Released last week on Cheap Thrills, the single’s two tracks are a couple of sunny summer House tracks with some nice Balearic beats but it’s the reMixes where things really start to shine. Grum’s reMix of the title track is a surprising, exciting robotic Disco jam with am unrelenting hook. Or take this reMix from Gamble & Burke, a blog exclusive now appearing on the single package, morphs the track into a smooth, good times, ElectroPop track.

The Scientists Of Modern Music
Australian Indie-ElectroPop duo The Scientists Of Modern Music have just released the first single from their forthcoming second album.
‘Because If I Die’ is a pretty impressive way to bust onto the scene. Sitting steadfast within the Aussie ElectroPop sound, The Scientists hold their own amongst their contemporaries. The likes of Empire Of The Sun, Strange Talk, Tim & Jean, Bag Raiders, Gypsy & The Cat, Miami Horror, Midnight Juggernauts and Get Stellar have carved out a particular sound, you can tell when an ElectroPop band is Australian. There’s an Indie backing, big cosmic synths and glammy vocals and TSOMM have got that sound down pat. Slick, well produced and catchy these guys could soon rise to the top of the Aussie ElectroPop game
♫ The Scientists Of Modern Music – Because If I Die
‘Because If I Die’ is the first single from the upcoming album ‘A Personal Universe’ out this month.

Monsieur Adi reMixes Madonna beautifully
Madonna’s ‘Get Together’, a relatively recent track, have been lovingly reworked my Electro renaissance man Monsieur Adi.
You can tell it’s one of his favourite Madonna tracks by the sheer thought and consideration that has gone into this mix. Slowing the pace and counterpointing his trademark strings with the warmest bass you’ll ever hear Adi creates a deep, enveloping track that you can just sink into.

Johan Agebjörn & Ercola & Queen Of Hearts AND Dreamtrak
Johan Agebjörn & Ercola’s ‘The Last Day Of Summer’ from Johan’s ‘Cassablanca Nights’ album featuring vocal stylings from Queen Of Hearts has gone and got itself a single release with reMix duties performed by Agebjörn collaborator Le Prix, Le Matos, Ercola himself and sometime Queen Of Hearts producer Dreamtrak.
Dreamtrak brings in a deep Pop/House groove with a nice early 90’s feel in the bassline and piano with the kind of FM bassline not heard since D50 and M1 rigs on TOTP played by dudes with floppy hair. All-in-all Dreamtrak has got a perfect grasp on the 90’s DancePop thing, wrapping up those influences in a modern package that sounds nostalgic, without being a pastiche. The Queen’s vocals lend themselves well to his style too.

Show Your Shoe reMixes EP with Beaumont
Show Your Shoe’s recent ‘Technik City’ EP had had a reMix makeover.
‘Technik City Revisited’, currently a Juno exclusive, holds four versions of tracks from the original EP featuring work from Coupons, Flashworx, Mitch Torino and includings this version of ‘Jet Skiing’ by Beaumont. The man gets deep and dark with the rhythm section in a slow, brooding track that threatens to suffocate you but give you glimmers of hope with sparking lead lines and Disco licks. There really needs to be a genre name for Beaumont’s slowed down Disco and Dreamwave. DiscoStep? Dubwave? LOL
