La Roux new video

larouxvid

A long weekend partying in Bristol coupled with the worst snowstorm to hit London in a gazillion years mean I really can’t be bothered to post much today, sorry folks. I have some good shit I wanna’ blog this week, just not today.

In the meantime you can clock this video for La Roux‘s new single ‘In For The Kill’. This track took me a little longer to get into than ‘Quicksand’ but I love the chorus now.

Those cheeky chappies at Universal have disabled embedding on the video for some reason so you’ll have to go to the inconvenience of visiting a whole-nother site to view it.

If you haven’t already, ‘Quicksand’ can be bought here:

Ben Mono (Moulinex reMix)

benmono

Bit of a Hip Hop theme running through today?

Ben Mono produces some mighty fine old skool flavoured Electro-Funk, so what could be better? How about a reMix by Moulinex, who consistently crank out top notch big Electro-House mixes?

Enjoy:

♫ Ben Mono – Jesus Was A B-Boy (Moulinex reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

There’s two acts you need to look into, right there!

Yeah, I’m blogging Lady Sovereign…what?

I really like this reMix of her forthcoming single, turning Grime in Nu-Disco. I hear her new album is going to be more Electro infused. We shall see.

Yuksek’s album comes out tomorrow

yuksek

Tomorrow sees the digital release of Yuksek‘s début album ‘Away From The Sea’ (the physical release is 2nd February) and it promises to be a noisy Nu-Disco ElectroPop scorcher.

A French producer making French Electro; Yuksek has plied up loads of big name reMixes over the last couple of years, everyone from Kaiser Chiefs to GhostfaceKillah , making this album pretty eagerly awaited.

If the likes of ‘Extraball’ are any indication, it’s not going to dissapoint!

♫ Yuksek (Feat. Amanda Blank) – Extraball (zShare) (MediaFire)

The album also includes last year’s banger ‘Tonight’.

♫ Yuksek – Tonight (zShare) (MediaFire)

If you truly care about someone, give the gift of Yuksek…

Ladytron: New single news!

ladytron

The, ever-wonderful, supreme overlords of alternative electronic pop music Ladytron return with the third single from the Vicarious Bliss produced album ‘Velocifero’.

‘Tomorrow’ is released on the 23rd February on Nettwerk, it wouldn’t have been my first choice for the next single but is a fine choice none the less.

♫ Ladytron – Tomorrow (Radio Edit) (zShare) (MediaFire)

ReMixes are provided by, amongst others, Jeuce.

I hope they play live again in London soon!

Picking up Ladytron’s back catalogue from one of the fine vendors below would be a smart move that would earn you the respect of your peers!

M.I.A. at The Oscars!

mia

So, the Oscar nominations are in.

Heath’s Joker for Best supporting Actor…”check”!

‘The Dark Knight’, ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Hellboy II’ getting nods in the special effects and make-up categories… a pleasantly surprising “check”!

No love for ‘The Dark Knight’ in best picture or best director categories…an disappointingly unsurprising “check”!

Best original song is an interesting one though:

WALL-E – ‘Down To Earth’ – Peter Gabriel & Thomas Newman

Slumdog Millionaire – ‘Jai Ho’ – A.R. Rahman

Slumdog Millionaire – ‘O Saya’ – A. R. Rahman & M.I.A.

That’s right, British/Sri-Lanken Electro MC M.I.A. being recognised by the Academy…nice!!! The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was also released on M.I.A.’s N.E.E.T. label.

The Oscars roll around 22nd February.

♫ A.R. Rahman & M.I.A. – O…Saya (zShare) (MediaFire)

Yes…’Paper Planes’ is also on the soundtrack 😉 , ‘Paper Planes’ seems like so long ago!

♫ M.I.A. – Paper Planes (zShare) (MediaFire)

M.I.A. has already made it clear she wants to take your money, so you may as well comply.
