This is the new video from Swedish ElectroPop nutcases Lissi Dancefloor Disaster. It’s for their awesome, growling, new single ‘Singing My Heart Out’.
The clip was directed by Tim Erem, who takes the heart out motif literally and makes the whole thing look dreamlike and intoxicating.
‘Singing My Heart Out’ is out now, we’ll take a look at the single later in the week.

The Mental Minority is back, and by that we mean the enigmatic German SynthWave producer had dropped another track. This time he’s ramped up the ‘80’s teen movie soundtrack quota considerably, if such a thing is possible ( I would have thought it wasn’t, and the ‘80’s teen movie soundtrack quota was already pretty full, but Mental Minority has proved me wrong).
‘Take My Hand’ sails along on beams of ‘80’s-synth light. A mid-paced jam that’s loaded with lush chords and shimmering, chiming lead sounds. Underneath all that sparkly nostalgia is are these deep strings, almost like a Gregorian chant, that adds a somewhat hypnotic quality to the track, giving it more depth and richness than just the leads impart. This really is top quality SynthWave and Mental Minority is coming on in leaps and bounds, even bringing something a little different to the table.

It’s been only two months since French Sci-Fi producer Pyramid self-released his ‘Life Above The Stars’ EP, a masterpiece of Cosmic electronics which itself was to tide us over in the dark between his last label release, ‘Rising Day’ on Monsieur Adi’s Technofavrik imprint and next month’s ‘Rising Day reMixes’.
The new EP contains reMix word from the likes of Stay Ali, Pilotpriest, Monsieur Adi, Final DJs and Thomas Barrandon and this, Pyramid’s own ‘Auto reMix’ of ‘Sleeping Fox’. This Auto reMix keeps much of the original intact, but gives it a 2012 kick in the bass. No loosing one drop of Pyramid’s trademark analog future funk the track still has all the futuristic dystopian shimmer it always had, but pumps in a way the original didn’t. While the original was all about B-Boy beats and Italo basslines, this version rolls with a Galactic Disco groove and soaring synths. The EP should be a killer with both Final DJs and Monsieur Adi turning in some excellent work.

The ‘Rising Day reMixes’ EP is out 3rd June on Beatport, with other stores coming later.

Whether leaks harm or help and artist in their promotion I open for debate, I can say that, whether harming or hurting, it probably fucks up their pre-planned release track somewhat. Over the weekend a new track from Outrun originator Danger leaked, which looks like it forced his hand to release it through official channels, so here it is.
Danger was one of the undisputed reigning champions of Electro in 2007, even now you can drop something like ‘11h30’ and the place will go apeshit, but other than trickles, and the occasional leak (usually ripped from a live set) EP’s are very few and far between, three in five years, and the last one was two years ago. So the release of ‘22h39’ sees a Danger that despite first appearances isn’t all that different from the Danger of old. His production were always measured and melodic and although the beat is more Disco than Electro-House, it’s still the haunting, driving, powerful Danger we remember.

‘A New Word To Say’ was one of the tracks that go us into Bright Light Bright Light way back when Rod was a potential Pop star, rather than an the actual Pop star he is now. So with the release of his début album we’re quite pleased that ‘A New Word To Say’ has been given the video treatment.
Hollie Newton directs this clip, which looks simple but must have taken ages to film, and longer to edit.

The reigning champions of euphoric SynthPop The Sound Of Arrows have a new single incoming. Taken from their amazing ‘Voyage’ album, ‘Conquest’ is released next month.
The video is full of the best things ever, most notable a crystal powered DeLorean. It’s also loaded with classy, fantastical imagery and Stefan & Oskar doing that back to back slow-mo thing they love doing.
‘Conquest’ released 25th June via Skies Above.

Introspective ElectroPop producer Aaron Alexis is back with a new track to haunt your dreams. Not loosing his particular unique style of ElectroPop based, Chillwave leaning Indie-Electro, Aaron’s new track is, at the same time, both warm and chilling.
‘Saboteurs’ is a throbbing electronic soundscape that draws lines between, Industrial, Chillwave and raw SynthPop. Reminiscant of parts of the recent M83 album and washed in the kinds of reverb usually reserved for Neon Indian, the contrast of the brittle synth bassline and the lush pads and LFO heavy organ sounds create a soundtrack where the instruments weave in and out of each other in a dreamlike way. Atop this sit Aaron’s trademark croon. Part seduction, part lament, part hipster drawl, the vocals glide across the track, ingratiating themselves as another instrument.
