Futurecop! have announced the winner of their ‘Starworshipper’ reMix contest. The reMix, picked personally be Futurecop! to appear on their forthcoming EP is by MPM.
MPM’s mix was one of our favourites too. MPM runs a blog dedicated to old 80’s electronic soundtracks and the music it influenced at MPM Soundtracks which is one of our regular reads, it’s always entertaining and MPM digs up the best nostalgic videos. His reMix of ‘Starworshiper’ follows on in the blogs tradition with a slick 80’s/Dreamwave feel that puts the original song into cruise control.

So many good songs are just kicking my ass today! Rex The Dog’s blistering reMix of ‘My Enemy’ by Aeroplane is just one of them.
Featured on Aeroplane’s April Mixtape Rex’s version is a hypnotic storm of retro synth work that boarders on New Beat in some places and lifts you up into Cosmic Disco territory in others. Taken from Aeroplanes album, ‘We Can’t Fly’, ‘My Enemy’ is due to be Vito’s next single and if Rex’s epic synthesiser journey is anything to go by the reMix package should be awesome.

‘My Enemy’ is out 23rd May on Eskimo Recordings.

Shelby Grey (A.K.A. Victor Palomo) releases new single ‘Echoes, Dimensions & Waves’ tomorrow.
Featuring the vocal talent’s of Ricco Vitali, the voice of Futurecop!’s ‘Venice Beach’ and the man behind Cavaliers Of Fun, ‘‘Echoes, Dimensions & Waves’ is a hypnotic ElectroPop track with an almost Balearic Nu-Disco groove. This is a real laid back tune, best suited for those sunset moments when the world is full of opportunity and promise, where it provide the prefect soundtrack. With that digital slap bass and smooth vocals this is the track I’d want to hear after a long night.
♫ Shelby Grey (Feat. Ricco Vitali) – Echoes, Dimensions & Waves
Not always sunrise? Don’t worry, this amazing reMix package holds a track for every mood. Beaumont is first up, with another downtempo electro track. The man could quite easily carve a solid niche for himself with track like this. Completely enveloping synth atmospherics with a solid beat. Clancy’s tracks just keep getting stronger and stronger and his mix here is a full on Dreamwave floorfiller to get lost in. Speaking of Dreamwave, One of the pioneers of the sound, Valerie’s Stephen Falken drops a reMix of soundtracky, sweeping retro Electro that get’s it’s synth groove on in a massive build whilst Worship’s contribution is an awesome analog synth Disco odyssey that appeals to the synth geek in me in ways I cannot express!

This is the first single from the new improved MiGHty mOUse, as a band.
‘Between The Pavement And The Stars’ is a smooth upbeat DiscoPop (heavy on the Disco) track with a bit of an original Heaven 17 feel to it. With Natalie Lewis huge voice and the electronic funk (and mention of the word ‘pavement’) I can’t help but think of H17’s ‘Penthouse And Pavement’, not that MM’s new single sounds anything like it, it’s got a sweet sound of it’s own. I’m defiantly liking everything I’ve heard from the new ‘proper band’ MiGHty mOUse’s so far, defiantly looking forward to their new EP in June.
♫ MiGHty mOUse – Between The Pavement And The Stars
There are reMixes of the track from the likes of Mario Basanov, Edwin Van Cleef, Blamma! Blamma!, Cosmonauts, Tronik Youth, Matt Van Schie and more to come.

Jules Schimmer – May Mix = A mash-up of huge Electro tracks and some 80’s surprises.
German SynthPop label Conzoom Records have just released the sixth entry in their ‘electropop’ compilation series.
Featuring the likes of Mooger, Northern Mars, Parralox, Vile Electrodes and more it’s an fine example of where the Modern SynthPop scene is heading these days and a great introduction to some of the bands making it happen, If you like your electronic music retro but have been bereft of new music to listen to then Conzoom’s stable of modern takes on the classic SynthPop sound might just be for you. the tracks on this album range for upbeat club tunes to dark ballads.
Bispatial’s ‘We just Got It Wrong’ is one of the standout tracks on the album, setting itself apart from the majority of 80’s influenced acts on the compilation with a big (and pretty hip right now) 90’s sound. Heavy 909 beats and House piano rock this track.
♫ Bispatial (Feat. Vista) – We Just Got It Wrong (Electropop reMix)
You can pick up electropop 6 in the stores of from Conzoom’s web store.
Van Go Lion’s ‘Body Moves’ get’s played a lot round these parts, as début singles go it’s in impressive way to kick-off their career and sure to gain them some attention.
This reMix we have here comes courtesy of QUBIQ, who provides a deep, quite proggy, House mix with a big room flavour. Thankfully keeping most of the song structure intact the reMix transforms Van Go Lion’s huge ElectroPop into a late night floor-filler.
