Electrosexual & Scream Club

Like a coming together of everything that’s great about electronic music, one-time Nerdcore, Electro Hip-Hop ladies Scream Club and deep synth reMixer Electrosexual have teamed up to drop a limited edition double A-side 12” featuring two tracks from Scream Club’s, Electrosexual produced, forthcoming album.

‘Break You Nice’/’Screaming And Crying’ is the distilled essence of the wonder that was electronic music in the 80’s and early 90’s. Like B-Boy Electro mixed with early Acid House it’s supported by reMixes from Divider, Leonard De Leonard and Hard Ton.

Hard Ton’s reMix continues the electro pioneer genre clash, with vocals reminiscent of Cybotron and a burbling TB-303 bassline.

Scream Club, with Electrosexual, have managed to create a sound that wears it’s influences so strongly on it’s sleeve but still sounds fresh, sorry, f-f-f-f-fresh!

The single is out 3rd March on Crunks Not Dead/Rock Machine, available on limited edition white vinyl or digital download:

My Favorite Robot cover The Cure’s ‘Fascination Street’

Montreal DJ and production duo My Favorite Robot are about to drop their ‘Fascination Reworked’ single.

The single, a cover of The Cure’s ‘Fascination Street’ is backed with reMixes by Omid 16b and Elevator People. I’m digging the hell out of the Omid 16b version, it’s a dark analog cross between 80’s Hip-Hop Electro and Cabaret Voltaire, it’s Old School Electro sensibilities just make you remember everything you loved about heavy basslines and a TR-808. Elevator People go in a totally different direction with a hypnotic Deep House take that will go down massively on a late night dancefloor.

‘Fascination Reworked’ is out soon on Mile End Records.

Justin Faust ‘Holdin’ On’

Munich man Justin Faust has just dropped an EP of funk tinged French House. the ‘Holdin’ On’ EP contains the title track and reMixes by the likes of Moullinex and Nightriders.

‘Holdin’ On’ is a feel good Electro-House jam with more than a nod to Filter House but once Moulinex get hold of it, it becomes a mighty retro disco monster.

Comanechi & Ghost Hunter

Ghost Hunter have done this atmospheric, chilled out reMix for Merok records artists Comanechi. Their usual guitar heavy noise pop is replaced here with, almost Trip-Hop, electronic soundscapes giving the song a sense of beauty and mystery that the original version never accomplished.

♫ Comanechi – Close Enough To Kiss (Ghost Hunter reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Comanechi’s album is out now.

Grum Vs. Magistrates

Essex Indie outfit Magistrates have been given the Electro treatment by the always quality Grum.

A bit more ElectroPop than your usual Grum outing but it’s still got that Grum groove and the whole track works together brilliantly. ‘Gold Lover’ sounds like it was written with this reMix in mind!

♫ Magistrates – Gold Lover (Grum reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Apparently Magistrates have split up, or something.

Diamond Cut reMixes The Candle Thieves

We’ve been very impressed with many of Diamond Cut’s recent reMixes so when a new one hits the electronic rumors inbox it always makes us sit up and pay attention.

Here he has turned his skills to Lo-Fi bedroom popsters The Candle Thieves and their track ‘We’re All Gonna’ Die (Have Fun)’ turning the quirky Indie-Pop track into a smooth ElectroPop journey that carries you away on sweeping synths whist retaining the intimate feel of the original. Great stuff!

The ‘We’re All Gonna’ Die (Have Fun)’ single is out 29th March on Downtown Records

Cavaliers Of Fun reMix

We posted about Cavaliers Of Fun a while back, including the track ‘Secret Galaxies’. We were pretty impressed with the mashing up of Space-Synth, Dreamwave and Chiptune and some good solid songs.

‘Secret Galaxies’ has been given a banging work over by Canada’s ¡borracho! which kinda’ holds on to the ElectroPop feel but introduces some hardcore dancefloor elements.

Win two guest list spaces to see IAMX live @ ULU

Avant-garde Indie-SynthPop genius Chris Corner (ex of Sneaker Pimps) will be taking to the stage with his IAMX project on 20th March at London’s ULU and here at electronic rumors we have managed to get hold of a pair of guest list spaces to give away to a lucky reader.

Since disbanding Sneaker Pimps to concentrate on IAMX, Corner has released three studio albums of genre-blurring electronic pop that have ranged from the uplifting and glam to the dark and atmospheric. An IAMX live show perfectly captures the eclectic nature of the music with a theatricality and flare unique to Corner. Guest appearances are not unusual with artists such as Sue Denim and Dee Plume from Robots in Disguise, James Cook from Nemo and both halves of The Mighty Boosh, Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt all having dropped in.

So, with tickets selling out fast, we present to you and a friend the opportunity to bypass the queue and stroll in the guest list entrance, just like someone important!

All you have to do follow us (electronicrumor) on Twitter, then copy, paste and tweet the following:

IAMX Live? 20th March? ULU in London? Count me in! I wanna’ win guest list spaces! http://bit.ly/cNTeEw @electronicrumor @iamx

Everyone who Tweets will have their name put in my pork pie hat and a random name pulled will be notified via Twitter DM. You have until Friday 12th March, so get going!

For those of you do don’t win, tickets can be purchased here, while they are still available!
