Nashville based Indie-ElectroPoppers Future Unlimited, released one of the surprise EPs of the year. The highlight of their EP, EP, being Golden, an uplifting ElectroPop anthem that got lots of play ‘round these parts. While we are waiting for a new release the guys have recorded a cover version of Sheffield Post-Punk band The Comsat Angels’ 1981 classic Sleep No More.
Future Unlimited’s take on the tune is a breezy Dreamwave opus. Rich and spacious, Sleep No More retains a little of the Post-Punk feel to it, and a hint of darkness, but wraps it up in powerful and warm retro synth work. Only the occasional burst of jagged guitar betrays the songs roots while Future Unlimited make it their own.

Here’s another track from the awesome Kitsuné Soleil album. Swiss outfit Pharao Black Magic haven’t graced these pages for a fair few months, but this new track is about to be featured, alongside appearing on Soleil, on an upcoming DJs compilation from Future Classic as well as Future Classic releasing the track on an EP of it’s own.
The Ghostape featuring Hermes, eased us into the the Soleil album, being featured early on and it’s laid back, no worries, Disco groove and slight Indie sensibilities. The track rolls with a Tropical vibe layering tight guitar licks with laid back squelchy synths that all seems to blend into one another to create a comforting wave of boogie.

Since we last wrote about Charli XCX’s new single You’re The One, and how we quite liked it, we’ve become obsessed with it, it’s easily going to feature in our top tracks of the year. The combination of unique vocals and Industrial beats tempered with soft BladeRunner synths has us hooked.
And now there is finally a video! Mucking around in a warehouse follows.

Hey! It’s one of our favourite Chilly Indie-Electro types, Gossip Culture, reMixed by one of our favourite SynthWave producers Tommy! The Cleveland ElectroPopster is gearing up for a summer release for his new single Just Fine With You, along with a super secret reMix line up. One of those reMixers, however, we can identify as the cream of the French SynthWave scene.
The original track is a fun, rolling summery Indie-electro jam with a Chillwave edge. All floaty, catchy, vocals and washes of reverb. Driven along by a rolling bassline and retro synth stabs, Just Fine With You, captures and optimistic feel good vibe and an effortless Indie cool. And there’s sax, ‘nuff said. Tommy takes that vibe and runs with it, crafting a sweeping nostalgic sound with bright synths and an Italo groove. Slightly switching up the rhythm of the vocals, usually a disaster, works well here, pushing the track forward and making this, more dancefloor oriented version, more urgent feeling. Excellent work from both parties, we can’t wait to see what the rest of the single holds.

Russian Nu-Disco producer The Frost has graced these pages a couple of times now, we’ve really been diggin’ his commination of Disco, House and vintage sounds. He’s just dropped three, yes three, brand new tracks. Just like that, no EP, so single, just three new tunes to get your ears around. It’s like a Disco treat.
So what’s new? Well, of the tree new tracks, two of the are vocal, and amazing, and the other one is instrumental, and amazing. Night Driving is the vox-less tune, but what it lacks in voice, it makes up for in richness. Layers upon layers of lush synths build a retro sound over a solid Disco backing. Despite the heavy rhythm section, it’s quite a light and airy tune, bringing the Dreamwave to the Nu-Disco. Perfecto Love (You Will Die) kicks off with a pulsating electronic groove before evolving into something quite unique. It’s Disco and House, but with an almost Celtic flavour. The piercing synths and ethereal vocals from Elenitia give it a quality not heard a lot in Dance music, arrangement wise it;s almost a Rock track, made with synths. Dancey as hell though. Sexy Frictions brings the Electro groove back, once again with Elenitia on vocals, this one is a big euphoric tune. Keeping a tiny bit of Perfecto Love’s ethereal quality, this track applies it to some straight up modern Electro Boogie. Punchy beats and flying digital synth riffs make this tune a total jump up track.

Hot on the heels (we really have to find out where that saying comes from!) of his amazing and massively hyped reMix of Little Boots’ Headphones, American Disco don Moon Boots is back with a brand new tune to brighten up your day. Get ready, ‘cos this is a big summer one, just warning you.
You might have heard this tune if you have got your ears round the Kitsuné Soleil mix album, but here it is in all it’s glory. Featuring vocals stylings from Violetness, Running From is is big thick vocal Disco tune that gets you into a solid groove in the verses, you’re nodding along thinking ‘yeah, this is some good shit’. It doesn’t prepare you , though, for the huge summery chorus. When the choruses big vintage synths drop it’s like the whole track swoops in from some funky place and carries you off with it. Big Disco bass, lush nostalgic synths, and a vocal that works really well. This one’s got it all.
