Urchins’ ‘Xylophobe’
‘Xylophobe’ is the new single from Lincoln duo Urchins.
Released last week on Cheap Thrills, the single’s two tracks are a couple of sunny summer House tracks with some nice Balearic beats but it’s the reMixes where things really start to shine. Grum’s reMix of the title track is a surprising, exciting robotic Disco jam with am unrelenting hook. Or take this reMix from Gamble & Burke, a blog exclusive now appearing on the single package, morphs the track into a smooth, good times, ElectroPop track.

The Scientists Of Modern Music
Australian Indie-ElectroPop duo The Scientists Of Modern Music have just released the first single from their forthcoming second album.
‘Because If I Die’ is a pretty impressive way to bust onto the scene. Sitting steadfast within the Aussie ElectroPop sound, The Scientists hold their own amongst their contemporaries. The likes of Empire Of The Sun, Strange Talk, Tim & Jean, Bag Raiders, Gypsy & The Cat, Miami Horror, Midnight Juggernauts and Get Stellar have carved out a particular sound, you can tell when an ElectroPop band is Australian. There’s an Indie backing, big cosmic synths and glammy vocals and TSOMM have got that sound down pat. Slick, well produced and catchy these guys could soon rise to the top of the Aussie ElectroPop game
♫ The Scientists Of Modern Music – Because If I Die
‘Because If I Die’ is the first single from the upcoming album ‘A Personal Universe’ out this month.

Monsieur Adi reMixes Madonna beautifully
Madonna’s ‘Get Together’, a relatively recent track, have been lovingly reworked my Electro renaissance man Monsieur Adi.
You can tell it’s one of his favourite Madonna tracks by the sheer thought and consideration that has gone into this mix. Slowing the pace and counterpointing his trademark strings with the warmest bass you’ll ever hear Adi creates a deep, enveloping track that you can just sink into.

Johan Agebjörn & Ercola & Queen Of Hearts AND Dreamtrak
Johan Agebjörn & Ercola’s ‘The Last Day Of Summer’ from Johan’s ‘Cassablanca Nights’ album featuring vocal stylings from Queen Of Hearts has gone and got itself a single release with reMix duties performed by Agebjörn collaborator Le Prix, Le Matos, Ercola himself and sometime Queen Of Hearts producer Dreamtrak.
Dreamtrak brings in a deep Pop/House groove with a nice early 90’s feel in the bassline and piano with the kind of FM bassline not heard since D50 and M1 rigs on TOTP played by dudes with floppy hair. All-in-all Dreamtrak has got a perfect grasp on the 90’s DancePop thing, wrapping up those influences in a modern package that sounds nostalgic, without being a pastiche. The Queen’s vocals lend themselves well to his style too.

Baby Monster third album preview
It’s the third week of Baby Monster previewing tracks from their forthcoming début album!
The tracks are getting spacier and spacier, ‘Mr. Success’ sees Baby Monster rocking a Chillwave vibe, again, amongst their ElectroPop with layers of reverb soaked sounds. There’s actually quite an 80’s influence to this track you can pick out from the waves of Electro Shoegaze, the lead line is pure 80’s Pop. Really looking forward to this record!
Baby Monster’s self-titled début album is due out 27th June.

Miroir: Build & Clancy’s new project
Holographic People’s first release was awesome, and I can tell you that their second release is awesome. So I shall henceforth be calling them ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’, which is true, until further notice.
This week sees the release of the début EP from Miroir, a new project from two producers at the top of the Electro game, Clancy and Build. I’m really digging the ‘So Fewer Particles Scatter’ EP, the thing that initially impressed me about it most is how varied it is. I tend to think of both Build and Clancy as, albeit amazing, producers of Nu-Disco, but this EP goes much further afield than that. If you are into any kind of synthesizer music (and if you’re not, what the hell are you doing here?) there is something for you to love amongst the five tracks here.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the EP doesn’t deliver dancefloor monsters. The opening track, ‘Kites’, is a piano led dance epic and the finale ‘Luminance’ is pure big room, peak time, euphoria, but alongside them you will find the more 80’s sounding title track and ‘Night Sky’, which draws in some Italo influences too. Both stand head and shoulders with the best in retro Electro, melodic and robotic in just the right places. And then there’s ‘Synth Vs. Sea’, a Tangerine Dream-esque atmospheric analog synth love song.
♫ Miroir – Kites
♫ Miroir – Night Sky
♫ Miroir – Synth Vs. Sea
It’s really a exciting thing when producers get to express themselves beyond the confines of what’s expected of them, you get the feeling that Clancy & Build enjoyed making this EP as much as we enjoyed listening to it!
Check out the rest of the EP on the ever-awesome Holographic People’s SoundCloud.
