All Night Shoes

All Night Shoes

All Night Shoes is a brand new artist from California whose released a few reMixes in the last six months. Unsurprisingly, ailing from California, All Night Shoes has gone down the Dreamwave/Nu-Disco. His new original track ‘Let U Go’ is awash with lush synths and cool vibes.

All Night Shoes sound is a little rough round the edges, the production need a little work, but he’s picked up the Dreamwave flavour nicely. ‘Let U Go’ show a lot of promise with it’s rolling bassline and big thick ‘80’s synths. It;s a driving track that captures enough of the LA beach vibe and mixes it some a harder elements to produce something quite unique. I think All Night Shoes needs to spend a bit of time working on the production, and on some his patch programming, but on the whole it’s a nice début and one which makes All Night Shoes a name we will be keeping an eye on.

Lissi Dancefloor Disaster & Le Prix

Lissi Dancefloor Disaster

We took a look at Swedish ElectroPoppers Lissi Dancefloor Disaster’s video for their new single, ‘Singing My Heart Out’ earlier in the week, so now is as good a time as any to get involved with the single and a stunning reMix from one of our faves, Le Prix.

If you checked the video you’ll already know what ‘Singing My Heart Out’ is all about. It’s a rich, beautiful ElectroPop track that gets it’s serious Disco groove on. Deep rushing synths and marching drums create something instantly recognisable as Scandinavian but with just the right amount of groove in there too. It’s a rousing and involving slick of alternative SacndiPop. the main reMix, alongside a Glichty Lo-Fi version from Den Svenska Björnstammen), comes from Le Prix, who provides a laid back synthy track chock full of Le Prix’s trademark SynthWave atmospherics that compliments the impassioned vocals really well. Lissi have been around for while, but we think this is their best work to date, and hopefully the single that gains them some of the attention the so readily deserve.

Dublin Aunts’ début single

Dublin Aunts

We’ve been waiting a while for Australian Disco producers Dublin Aunts to drop their début single, and now it’s finally hear, and seeing as how it’s Friday, ‘Heartbreak Reputation’ is the perfect tune to carry your weekend.

From it’s opening bars you know that your in for good times. This is smooth, laid back synthesizer Disco of the highest calibre. If you thought Dublin Aunts’ reMixes were good, ‘Heartbreak Reputation will blow you away. Built upon some lunch synth chords and a frictionless soulful vocal. There’s nothing about this track that doesn’t make you want to just chill in the sunshine. The reMix package is loaded with Funk too. Drop Out Orchestra provide a slick late ‘70’s Disco take on the track, all bouncy bass and big horns layered with lush strings. There’s also a big Nu-Disco mix from DJ Agent 86 that adds a calypso flavour to the mix for just that little added holiday feel and matches Disco licks with shimmering synths. Also coming on the single is a deep house mix from Flash Mode and a very nice Dub version of the track. It’s a very impressive début from Xavier & Adam and one I think we’re all going to be glad of this summer. Let the good times roll.

Aimes

‘Somewhere In Space We Hang Suspended’ is a beautiful, atmospheric peice that brings as cosmic, and quite lonely vibe to the table. Spacious and multi-layered, this is a tune that sparks the imagination. From it’s undulating, intertwining arpeggios, to it’s distant leads and haunting vocals, this track really is somewhere in space hanging suspended, and it takes you there.  A nice mix of ElectroPop, Indie-Electro and Chillwave Aimes’ EP should be something to look forward to.

Ryan Riot

Ryan Riot

Ryan Riot is a lucky guy, or just has really good timing! Here’s a tip kids, if you want to get hold of us or send us your music, just email us, we rarely check Twitter DMs and new almost never check Facebook messages, with 150-odd emails a day another means of communication is just too much. However, we just happened to stop by the electronic rumors Facebook messagebox as Ryan Riot messaged us, which was a stoke of luck for both of us, normally we wouldn’t have even read his message, and that would mean we would have been deprived of an awesome tune.

And the tune he sent us, ‘Loading Procedure’ is awesome. SynthWave at it’s finest, it’s no wonder this track is getting play from the likes of Reflex and Final DJs. With ‘Loading Procedure’ Ryan has show he could stand head and shoulders with the greats of the SynthWave scene such as Mitch Murder, Miami Nights 1984 and Jordan F, but also injects a health French Touchy-ness into the track too. It’s a schizophrenic beast, Outrun Electro to the core, but with a Nu-Disco sheen that can see it appealing to fans of the likes of Lifelike. Ryan Riot, despite message us on Facebook, has definitely got our attention. Rapid fire arpeggios, nostalgic chords, soaring leads and a nice flow of vocoded vocals. You know what we like!

Camouflage Lodge

camouflagelodge

Camouflage Lodge is a new one-man project from the keyboard player from one of our favourite Indie-electro acts, Tubetops. Kevin Bendis has taken on the Camouflage Lodge moniker to put together some really sweet summer ElectroPop tunes and has just released his début EP, for free. Check it out.

The ‘Old Haunts’ EP hold four tracks of hazy, blissed out synthesizer IndiePop with a chilled beach theme running through it. From the opening track, ‘Séance On The Beach’, the EP conjures feelings of nostalgia  through the liberal sprinkling of Indie guitar amongst the Dreamwavey synths. Admittedly sometimes the EP does veer into slightly Indie dirge territory, but when Camouflage Lodge hits the good weather, good times, retro Pop vibe, he hits it perfectly. Definitely one for the coming good weather.

♫ Camouflage Lodge – Sub Cult Shore

The ‘Old Haunts’ EP is out now, for free.
