Deep deep down. That’s where Hervé’s gone with his second reMix of Fenech-Soler latest single, ‘Lies’
Kinda’ like a dub version of his ‘Solar Flare reMix’ of the same song. Less vocals and more attention on the brooding bassline make this ‘Eclipse’ reMix a serious night-time epic.

‘Lies’ is out now and taken from Fenech-Soler’s self titled début album…which is absolutely awesome! Go and buy it now!
It’s a meeting of minds in the heart of Chicago. Gemini Club and Hey Champ! should, by now, be well known to readers of electronic rumors and I think, generally, they’ve done the world a favour and unleashed a mighty soundclash on us!
Gemini Club’s recent single ‘Ghost’ gets the Hey Champ! treatment and winds up a chilled Nu-Disco jam that just slides out of the speakers, even when the vocals are being cut-up.
♫ Gemini Club – Ghost (Hey Champ! reMix)
Gemini Club’s take on Hey Champ!’s oft-reMixed ‘Cold Dust Girl’ is an 8 minute electronic epic that never once gets boring. A head on collision between Nu-Disco and Indie-Electro, the track takes a turn for the heart attack inducing at the 4:40 mark.
♫ Hey Champ! – Cold Dust Girl (Gemini Club reMix)
Gemini Club’s ‘Ghost’ is out now.
Hey Champ!’s ‘Cold Dust Girl’ single can be downloaded from the band’s official site and their album ‘Star’ available now.
Sigh…I’ve been meaning to post this for a while but kept getting sidetracked.
A while back we featured the Franzy Scanner reMix of Polish ElectroPop prodigy Pati Yang A.K.A. Nikita’s single ‘Tonite’. Well, here’s the video, Enjoy.
Nikita is currently in the studio with Joe Cross, one of the best ElectroPop producers working in the UK right now, and that can only mean greatness/
The single, ‘Tonight’, is out today..
What’s this ‘ere then? Why, it’s only the new single by Bedroom Pop genius Penguin Prison as débuted this weekend on Radio 1.
Probably the most upbeat, Disco-y track he’s dropped so far, ‘Golden Train’ is just pure smooth ElectroPop. And when I say smooth, I mean smooth, there isn’t much smoother than this, this side of Chromeo.
♫ Penguin Prison – Golden Train (Radio Rip)
Penguin Prison releases ‘Golden Train’ on 22nd November.
Check out some summery dreaminess in the brand new video for Walter Sobcek’s ‘Je Me Souviens’. I won’t re-iterate what we thought of the track, you can read and download the NightWaves reMix in our post earlier this week, suffice to say it’s pretty awesome.
Just enjoy:
The ‘Je Me Souviens’ EP is out now on Sismic Music
LexiconDon’s ‘Student Body’ has only gone and got itself a promo video!
It’s an amazing track from, what is, one of the ElectroPop albums of the year ‘Pink + Blue’, I think the only thing missing from the LexiconDon package was a music video. Sorted.
Directed by Jason Beattie, the video makes interesting use of colour for a hyper-real 80’s look and is wonderfully tongue in cheek. I would expect nothing less than LexiconDon taking the piss so there’s no disappointment there!
LexiconDon’s ‘Pink + Blue’ is out now on dubFrequency/Binary
Van Go Lion are pretty awesome, it’s actually quite hard for me to concentrate on writing something about them ‘cos I’m just kinda’ sat here digging the music.
This duo from Portland make some epic sounding ElectroPop with the ‘Electro’ and the ‘Pop’ in just the right places. Catchy vocals with a sense of humour, powerful electronics with soaring lead lines and a backline aimed squarely at the dancefloor…what more could you ask for? I think one of the things that impress about Van Go Loin immediately is the huge production, which coupled with the power of Amy Paige lungs makes an in-your-face electronic Pop experience that you can’t help but like!
Van Go Lion are currently putting the finishing touches to their new release, their self titled EP is still available:
On a website about, let’s face it, a lot of 80’s influenced music to say a band sounds really 80’s seems a bit moot, but Brooklyn’s Selebrities sound really 80’s!
And I don’t mean in a Dreamwave, 80’s soundtrack, way, more in the back of a dingy SynthPop/Goth club way. From the sweeping analog synth sounds to the Peter Hook inspired bass to the boarderline Siouxsie Sioux vocals this is real Post-Punk synth synth. Saying that though, it also manages to be poppy as hell, setting it apart from the similarly influenced Coldwave/Minimal Synth sound.
The track ‘Audition’ from their début EP, ‘Ladies Man Effect’, is a perfect example of how they inject a touch of glamour and catchiness into, what is, quite a dark sound.
The ‘Ladies Man Effect’ EP is out now as a free download from Cascine.
Silverclub are a new UK Indie-Electro act who’s quirky British synth heavy sound will appeal to many readers of electronic rumors.
The band kinda’ take the Passion Pit strain of American Indie-Electro and inject it with a decidedly British humour and synth work more heavily steeped in the history of British SynthPop. A bit like a more raw, more indie, Hot Chip.
Check out the lead track on their second EP, ‘All In All’, those pulsating analog sounds act as the prefect counterpoint to down-to-earth vocals.
Silverclub’s ‘All In All’ EP is out now (protip: you can get it for free at their official website for the price of an email address!) .
In the continuing saga of the Kylie Minogue/HURTS love-in Kyle has returned the compliment of being asked to appear on HURTS’ album and HURTS’ covering her ‘Confide In Me’ by covering their, set in Bristol, début track ‘Wonderful Life’ for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge.
♫ Kylie Minogue – Wonderful Life (HURTS Cover)
It’s actually a really nice arrangement of the track. I think it’s time for Kylie and HURTS to get a room!
