Shindu’s ‘Happy House’

Kitsuné Music’s latest single release is Belgian act Shindu’s take on Siouxsie And The Banshees 1980 hit ‘Happy House’.

It’s a track that was begging for a modern workover and Shindu have certainly lived up to the challenge. Dropping Topical and Disco vibes over the song works so well. Produced by Moonlight Matters the track is already being tipped to be one of tunes of the summer. London’s ElectroPop double act supreme JBAG take it to the next level though with a huge dancefloor aimed retro monster of a track. With a killer bassline and a constant build to the finale, this records is going to tear up some floors this summer. Herr Styler contribute a deep House mix with a 90’s piano sound that turns the track into a majestic epic.

Goin’ Old School: Trans-X – Living On Video

It was the future, or 1983. Technology was either going to destroy us or save us. Trans-X’s ‘Living On Video’ was all about synthesizers and stuff! Can you imagine?

Goin’ Old School: Laura Branigan (or) Raf – Self Control

Straight from 1984, here is both Laura Branigan and co-wirter Raf’s versions of ‘Self Control’, both blew up in Europe that year but only Branigan’s made any impact across the Atlantic. I can never decide which version I prefer but both are definitely better than the subsequent covers.

Cordova from U-Tern

Cordova, that is a project from Nu-Disco genius U-Tern and friends.

In his own words the track is “…a song I wrote with my friends AJK and Roxy, we never got around to releasing it officially, enjoy!”, my words for the track would be ‘fucking awesome’. Despite being a year old this track is so fresh, the perfect blend of Nui-Disco and ElectroPop. Literally the best thing I have heard all week, lush vocals and dirty vocoding over a solid Discofied Pop track, what more could you want?

Soft Metals’ new album

The first time I heard Portland duo Soft Metals I was instantly enamoured with their blend of Minimal Synth and 90’s House and Techno. Next month they finally release their début, self titled, LP.

Their highly acclaimed EP, ‘The Cold World Melts’ was a five track synth music lovers dream. Analog machine music tempered with soaring melodies and haunting vocals, and surprisingly funky too. The forthcoming album promises a full ten tracks of the same. Check out ‘Psychic Driving’ the sweet electronic ballad the record opens with.

♫ Soft Metals – Psychic Driving

Soft Metal’s début album is released 19th July on Captured Tracks.

Goin’ Old School: Bomb The Bass – Don’t Make Me Wait

In 1988 Bomb The Bass released ‘Into The Dragon’ one of the all time seminal dance music albums, alongside ‘Beat ‘Dis’, the big hit from the record, the second single was the amazing ‘Don’t Make Me Wait’ featuring Lorraine McIntosh on vocals. A track that I will never get enough of. Here they are preforming it on Top Of The Pops. I’ll always have a soft spot for girls in hi-tops and oversized Troop jackets.
