This might get confusing, so hold tight.
Johan Agebjörn, frankly amazing, album ‘Casablanca Nights’ features a whole host of ElectroPop collaborations, some of the best tracks to be released this year. Amongst those is a couple of tunes with Le Prix, including ‘Alice’ featuring the vocal talents of Fred Ventura and Miss Sally Shapiro. This track, ‘Alice, is now getting a 12” release from Disco Evolution, a sublabel of Flashback Records under the moniker Fred Ventura Vs. Sally Shapiro. Got it?
It’s a sweet, slightly Italo in it’s bassline, ElectroPop track, with a huge chorus. Surprisingly traditional SynthPop in it’s arrangement the track is an awesome meeting of classic SynthPop and Agebjörn modern, slick, production. The 12” also features the ‘Energy Mix’, which turns up the Italo side of the track by dropping an amazing mid-80’s bassline. There’s actually a strong Pet Shop Boys feel to the reMix, and that’s definitely no bad thing.

Shook just drops amazing reMix after amazing reMix!
This time he’s turned his attention to Penguin Prison’s current single ‘Multi-Millionaire’ and covers the track in his lavish synth Funk. Squelchy Moog basslines and sweet leads are front and centre with a stellar electric piano solo. ‘Multi-Millionaire’ was one of Penguin Prison’s most Disco’d tracks to date anyway, but Shook adds the Funk to the ElectroPop mix in a melting pot of smooth radness.

Bright Light Bright Light’s long (really, quite long) awaited new single ‘Disco Moment’ looks like it’s finally here with the premiere of the video.
It’s a really good choice for a single, upbeat ElectroPop with a hint of melancholy and the Jody Wilson directed video serves as a really good introduction to Rod Thomas for the masses who missed out on ‘Love Part II’.
‘Disco Moment’ is released 19th September.

Yellow Magic Orchestra have been making boundary pushing electronic music and ElectroPop since before you know what a synthesizer was. Show some respect! ‘Rydeen’ is from 1980, by which time they were already comfortable making big Electro jams while much of the rest of the world was on Tomorrow’s World complaining that synthesizer music wasn’t somehow real.

Portland ElectroPop duo Van Go Lion have only gone and done a cover of 80’s smooth Pop boy’s Johnny Hates Jazz’s smash hit ‘Shattered Dreams’ ain’t they!
It’s actually really weird to hear a song you know inside out sung by someone else, but Van Go Lion tune in a brilliant updating of the tune. It seems the Jazzers (or the Johnnies?) themselves like the track too, making this statement “25 years since Shattered Dreams was originally a worldwide hit, and after nearly three and a half million airplays in the US alone, its great that the song is reaching a new generation of music fans. We celebrate Van Go Lion’s innovative new recording, and have no doubt that it will add to this continuing success.”. Good job!
