New tune from Boss In Drama
Brazil’s ElectroPop export, Boss In Drama, has been a little quiet for a while but explodes back with his new tune ‘Pure Gold’.
Washed in future Funk and electronic Soul, ‘Pure Gold’’s glitterball ElectroPop is evident from the very first synth lead and when BiD’s slick vocal kick in you know exactly what you’re in for. Straight-up DiscoPop that exists only for the good times. Having already scored official reMix work for N*E*R*S and Miami Horror, Boss In Drama is about to drop his début album, also titled ‘Pure Gold’, and it could be something really special.
’Pure Gold’ is lead off single off Boss In Drama’s début album of the same name, released 10th September.

It’s a fun tropical Electro Disco tune with a new video that reflects that, albeit in a 90’s music video way.

Alex Metric & Charli XCX & Russ Chimes
Stop what you’re doing, there’s a new Russ Chimes reMix in town.
Saying “Russ Chimes can do no wrong” might be jinxing it, and his next production clould be shit and it would be our fault. But it’s not likely, ‘cos Russ Chimes can do no wrong. The man smashes it again with this new mix of Alex Metric & Charli XCX’s ‘End Of The World’ from Mr. Metric’s forthcoming ‘Open Your Eyes’ album. Russ seem to build and build on this tune, constantly adding layers to the killer riff that will be whipping dancefloors up into a frenzy this summer. Bringing it down briefly with a sweet piano hook and snatches of ElectroPop kook XCX’s vocal before dropping the listener right back into body moving inanity. To say Russ Chimes can move the crowd is a massive understatement.

Aaron Alexis
Aaron Alexis is a video director who was worked with Kitsuné and Chromat amongst others and is now expressing the ElectroPop side of his creativity.
‘Heart.Box.Smasher’, his latest tune, is an intimate electronic Pop tune that despite being quite layered managers to low key stripped down and personal. Aaron’s understated, almost whispered at times, vocal conveys a real depth of feeling while the deceptively intricate programming created a slightly distant, slightly detached mood as a counterpoint. With ‘Heart.Box.Smasher’, Aaron Alexis has crafted some incredibly listenable, somehow humble, synthesizer music.

Azari & III reMix Monarchy
More reMixes of Monarchy’s forthcoming single, ‘Maybe I’m Crazy’ incoming, this time Azari & III’s, which I’ve been waiting for.
Azari & III have an amazing ability to make deep, dark, 90’s House influenced tunes that are also totally catchy and Poppy. On the reMix here, Azari & III have produced a full-on House monster reminiscent of sweaty, early 90’s, warehouse parties. Deep, electronic and slightly Acidic, this mix just makes me more eager to hear their forthcoming album on Modular.
♫ Monarchy – Maybe I’m Crazy (Azari & III reMix)
‘Maybe I’m Crazy’ is Monarchy’s next single, with reMixes from Michael Woods and Diskjokke, as well. It’s taken from the amazing album ‘Around The Sun’, out now.

Starsmith’s new single
Well, this was an unexpected treat for a Thursday morning. Alan Braxe’s Vulture Music have announced the release of ElectroPop producer extraordinaire Starsmith’s second single.
‘Lesson One’ isn’t quite what I was expecting from Mr. Smith, it’s better. The track skilfully walks a path that owes, in equal amounts, to French Touch and LA Dreamwave. I’m not sure if it’s actually Fin singing on the track, I know he did say he would be singing himself on his album but the vocals, subtly effected, makes up a large part of the dreamy, laidback groove of the track. Much of the tune harks back to the original days of French Touch (no bad thing!), although updated for 21st century Nu-Disco dancefloors and, of course, all wrapped up with that perfect Starsmith ElectroPop sheen. On the whole ‘Lesson One’, co-written and produced with Braxe himself, has tons more funk than I was anticipating, and this just makes me even more excited for Starsmith’s eventual album release.

‘Lesson One’ is released 22nd August as a double A-side with ‘Champion’.
