Joe And Will Ask? will finally received the Kitsuné Music seal of approval when their track ‘Claymore’, originally off the ‘Hell Hawk’ EP, gets released as a single by the French Electro label on the 26th January.
Man, it’s an Electro Banger.

French Electro-House loon Danger has come up with a taster of his brand new reMix of Empire Of The Sun‘s ‘Walking On A Dream’.
♫ Empire Of The Sun – Walking On A Dream (Danger reMix (64kbps Preview)) (zShare) (MediaFire)
It’s only a short, 64kbps, sample but it’s sounding great and, more importantly, gives me an excuse to lay these gems from last year on you.
♫ Danger – 11H30 (zShare) (MediaFire)
I loved the ’09-14 2007′ 12″, that ’11H30′ comes from, just loved it. A huge, noisy, Electro-House, Nu-Disco monster that threatened to steal Kavinsky‘s synth solo crown!
Danger does a good job on ‘Into The Galaxy’ one of my favourite Midnight Juggernauts songs too.

Coming up to pay-day? Blow it all on tunes!
Lady GaGa‘s next single will be ‘Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)’, which I thought was a pretty mediocre track on her début album.
However, reMixes for the single will be supplied, amongst others, by Frankmusik…

…AND PET SHOP BOYS!
Not too shabby, huh?
La Roux‘s next single will be ‘In For The Kill’.
Not sure of a release date yet, but here’s a reMix by Max Heyes to tide you over.

If you still haven’t picked up ‘Quicksand’ you can do so here:
Ever since I started this blog, all those 9 long days ago!, I have been waiting for the excuse to blog-the-shit-out-of Ladyhawke…and now my chance has come thanks to Electro newcomer KiD COLA. KiD’s reMix is a serious Electro Bass juggernaut, check it out:

So, what can I say about Pip Brown A.K.A. Ladyhawke that hasn’t already been said? I don’t want to be flippant with the word ‘genius’, but Ladyhawk’s self-titled début album for the almighty Modular Recordings is genius!
Easily one of my favourite albums of last year, top 5 at least! Pip is a world class songwriter and the album takes it’s 80’s influences without exaggerating or parodying them. I couldn’t choose a favourite track from the album, I think any tune on there would convince you to buy it. So have a taster, with the opening song ‘Magic’.

By now you will be clamoring to purchase some Ladyhawke, try here:
Up and coming London Electro-House-Garage-Bass-Bastard producer A1 Bassline has hammered home this reMix of SynthPop guru Frankmusik‘s 3 ‘Little Words’
♫ Frankmusik – 3 Little Words (A1 Bassline reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)
‘3 Little Words’ is taken from the ‘Frankisum’ EP and was also released as a single in it’s own right.
Both worthy purchases for any fan of Electronic Pop.
Indie-Electro producer Build provides this top notch, driving, reMix of Cut Copy‘s classic ‘Hearts On Fire’, I’m really liking it.
♫ Cut Copy – Hearts On Fire (Build reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)
As you can see from the pic, Cut Copy all need a bloody haircut! Help finance them buy purchasing some of their absolutely fantastic music!
January 26th (23rd on digital) sees the release of Kitsuné label bosses
Gildas & Mayasta‘s follow up to last years ‘Paris’ mix album, this time it’s ‘New York’.
Looking at the tracklist on Amazon…
…It looks like the same mix (with the inclusion of the Laidback Luke track) that they presented on CD with Tsugi Magazine last year. That this mix is now being generally released is fantastic news as this is a seriously good 45 minuites, taking some of late last years biggest Electro-House and ElectroPop tunes and wrapping them up in a really well thought out mix. Oh, and it’s just the same length as the amount of time it takes me to walk to work…handy!
If you don’t know what you’re in for heres a couple of tunes from the album:
♫ Treasure Fingers – Cross The Dancefloor (Laidback Luke reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)
♫ Lykke Li – I’m Good, I’m Gone (Fred Falke reMix Extended Version) (zShare) (MediaFire)
‘New Your’ is out 23rd/26th January on Kitsuné Music and is highly reccomended!
Tonight, I’m off to Camden’s Lock Tavern to catch insane Finish ElectroPop Shouty trio Le Corps Mince De Françoise (along with the equally nutjob Crystal Fighters).
The obvious comparisons would be to the likes of CSS, Chicks On Speed or Heartsrevolution, but I think they have a unique Finnish charm all of their own.
♫ Le Corps Mince De Françoise – Ray-Ban Glasses (Les Gillettes reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)
♫ Le Corps Mince De Françoise – Bitch Of The Bitches (zShare) (MediaFire)
‘Bitch Of The Bitches’ is the forthcoming single, out on February 23rd.
‘Ray-Ban Glasses’ is still available from:
Le Corps Mince De Françoise @ Beatport
Le Corps Mince De Françoise @ Juno
Warp Records are giving away a free .mp3 of ‘Illegal Dustbin’, a new Squarepusher track from his new EP ‘Numbers Lucent’ released on 19th January on 12″/CD/Download.
You can get the free track here.
I kinda’ liked the last Squarepusher album ‘Just A Souvenir’, it was the same insane Glitch-Drum & Bass-Jazz-Experimental nonsense you should be used to with Squarepusher but seemed to have all these crazy Pop overtones.
You’ve really got to be in the mood for Squarepusher though!
If you are…
Or pre-order the new EP @ WarpMart or Play
