We’re fans of both Clock Opera and Little Loud here at electronic rumors, so when this little gem dropped in the Inbox excitement followed.
It’s quite a killer tune too. ‘Once And For All’ will be Clock Opera’s next single for Kitsuné Music and Little Loud’s take on the track is a pulsing and shimmering synth workout. Laidback and feel good the sparking lead lines have a pretty euphoric effect.
After the whole StardonE are ace business of earlier this week I was disappointed to find that their reMix of The Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘1979’ had reached it’s download limit on SoundCloud, so I got straight onto StardonE to remedy the situation and to be able to share it with you guys.
The track itself reminds me so much of being younger so the fact that someone has done a nice Dreamwavey reMix of it pleases me no end. Taking the hypnotic nature of the original and adding some killer drums, arpeggios, and a sweet little riff is, frankly, pure genius.
I must admit, I’d never heard of Saharan Gazelle Boy before, apparently it’s a collaboration between Capybara’s Darin Seal and Sea Change. I’ve never heard of them either. Oh well.
I’m digging the music though, it’s nice and grungy and has an electronic post-punk vibe to it. An early 80’s Indie theme runs throughout but with enough electronics to keep it just the right side of SynthPop.
Check the video for their new single ‘Strange Teen Heart’.
And their previous record, ‘Halfhair Girl’, which is a little early New Order.
T.B.S. (A.K.A. The Bloody Sisters) are a Parisian duo who are bringing the fuck back to us after all this dark synth stuff! 😉
‘Rock Your Body (T.B.S. AutoreMix)’ features American singer Enois Scroggins and Frenchman Rpiz on the talkbox and is some severely groove laden French Touch to chill you out with a rolling bass you can’t resist! The Frenchmen have also reMixed Walter Sobcek’s awesome ‘Je Me Souviens’ layering the dreamy SynthPop with their own Disco style.
We enthused aboutDetachments latest single ‘Holiday Romance’ and we’ve loves some of the reMixes that have come around so far.
Particularly likening this minimal mix by T&A which gives the track more of an electronic post-punk feel with bonus acid squelching and cowbell! Then, halfway though the track the bridge kicks in and the track turns into a really absorbing and listenable analog synth wig-out.
Ex-Depeche Mode man Alan Wilder’s Recoil will be bringing it’s ‘A Strange Hour’ tour to the US as well as releasing ‘Selected’, a hand picked collection of some of Recoil’s finest work.
The album contains many of Alan’s collaborations spanning 22 years of the Recoil project including Diamanda Galás, JoeRichardson, Douglas McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb), Nicole Blackman, Samantha Coerbell, Toni Halliday (Curve) and Maggie Estep.
So, after many false starts and fakes (although the last batch of leaked tracks I was sent seem to have turned out to be real) we finally have an officially released piece from Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy soundtrack and also a first look at how Guy and Thomas will look in their roles as ‘mp3 files’ (read DJs) in the movie.
This track’s been knocking around for a few days now but I couldn’t help but share it with you.
You’ve probably heard the Vandroid buzz by now. Lost 80’s grindhouse movie? Missing soundtrack? Check some of the press release:
“In a windowless warehouse building on the dreary outskirts of town, an unknown purveyor of grind-house cinema was beginning principal photography on what would be it’s last film ever. That summer, in that same warehouse, a young audio engineer named Fujiyama was contracted to record a visionary album as a companion piece to the film using a preproduction test unit of the latest synthesising equipment from Sansui in Osaka.
But sadly, the film and the soundtrack created for it, would not be completed according to plan.
A few weeks later, a freak fire raged out of control, destroying the studio. The barrister found the owners innocent. Insurance checks were cut. And the masters for the film and soundtrack were presumed gone forever.
In the Summer of 2009, Police were called by county court to open a rental-storage locker in the San Fernando Valley, CA with payments long overdue registered to a man by the name of Fujiyama Matsumoto, deceased, as confirmed by LA County Coroner’s Office, 2007.
Presumed lost forever, the visionary unfinished concept album was found in a sealed box in the back of the storage locker and now this epic soundtrack from this unreleased film is about to be released over 25 years after it’s creation.”
What is know is that there will probably be an album put together by some of the best new disco names around. Van She Tech and Fred Falke are definatly on the cards. Speaking of which, it’s been a while since Van She got their reMixing groove on so here’s the first of the Vandriod tracks, ‘Master & Slave’, and it’s Van She Tech mix. It’s a pretty great start to whatever Vandroid is.
Today saw the Canadian release of Torontonian ElectroPop goddess LIGHTS’ first single from her upcoming second studio album
The track, ‘My Boots’, sees LIGHTS shuffling slowly toward a more Disco sound. Although the verses have an almost Passion Pit-esq Indie-electro quality the choruses and bridge are pure DiscoPop, even having something of the Kylie about them. Which is all good! It’s an awesome taste of what’s to come from one of the most unique females voices in ElectroPop.
