Ou Est Le Swimming Pool latest single ‘These New Knights’ gets a full on Electro mix from Don Diablo.
The prolific reMixer takes the Electro Funk laden original and creates a building foorfiller with layers of growling synths and cut up vocals.

Motorboater! A.K.A. Dan Eaton a solo artist making some deep, intricate digital Pop. has just released his ‘P/U YR Heart’ EP.
No to be mistaken for Bedroom Pop it, there is more going on here. Sure some tracks are quaint, almost Folktronica jams, but other tracks soar like Dreamwave floorfillers.
Check these two tracks from the EP, the retro synth space Disco of ‘Semifinalist’ and the glitchy energy of ‘Seeing Things’, two pretty different tracks but with an underlying sound that unites them.

The ‘P/U YR Heart’ EP is available from The Record Machine for as little as $2 (for 320kbps .mp3s)

French Nu-Rave (?) band Adam Kesher (a band not a person) have some success in 2007 with their ‘Modern Times’ and are back with a more mature sound.
A sound that they have roped in some help shaping. None other than Chromeo’s Dave One produced this joint with mixing skills from his brother A-Trak with Phillipe Zdar and Pierrick Devin. it’s a mixing pot that produces some really slick Indie-Electro that still kinda’ keeps Adam Kesher’s sound.

the album ‘Challenging Nature’ is due out in the coming months.
Not actually a new video, but surprisingly well timed for the re-release (or first proper release) of ‘I Am not A Robot’, the video we have here will make up part of the visuals for Marina And The Diamonds forthcoming UK tour. Filmed on Hollywood Boulevard, it actually makes quite a nice promo clip.
‘I Am Not A Robot’ is out 26th April.

London based singer/songwriter Seb is a relative newcomer, this track being his second single, but has made the astoundingly smart move of roping in Neon Gold’s resident Dreamwave guru Mille on production duties.
The result is a track that completely assimilates Pop into Dreamwave. Big, slick ElectroPop laden with Mille’s epic synth work and a killer 8-bit, oriental sounding, breakdown. It end up sounding kinda’ like a vocal Danger track.
This track is going to be huge!

‘The Other Side’ will be released soon.
This week Crystal Castles triumphantly announced their return with a new album and two new singles.
In an awesome move the new album, as with their début, will be self titled! Which is just a stroke of genius. The first proper single released will be a track called ‘Celestica’.
Before that, however, the duo are releasing a limited edition (500 copies) 12” of ‘Doe Deer’ to celebrate Record Store Day on 17th April.
To get you warmed up for all this good stuff here’s a couple of new reMixes. Midnight Conspiracy’s take on ‘Crimewave’ is a pretty amazing slice of 8-bit flavoured SynthPop and ‘Untrust Us’ as reMixed by Alex Zelenka, which is a deep bleepy vision of the original.

Crystal Castles new album, er…’Crystal Castles’, is due to come out on 8th July.
I’d honestly never heard of Bodi Bill before their current single, ‘I Like Holden Caulfield’, landed in the electronic rumors inbox, but I was immediately all over it.
This German act is hard to pin down, a bit Lo-Fi, a bit Indie-Electro, a bit Bedroom Pop, even a little bit Folktronica, they have defiantly carved out a unique niche for themselves in the SynthPop landscape. Their glitchy beats and eclectic electronic instrumentation really keep the listener on their toes!
Siriusmo, who should be no stranger to you, provides a reMix of the track ‘Tip Toe Walk’ for the single and turns in a deep and atmospheric mix complete with buzzing organs, echoing piano and military drums.

‘I Like Holden Caulfield’ is now.
Italo influenced ElectroPop act Glass Candy recently released a new EP, ‘Feeling Without Touching’, on Italians Do It Better.
The title track is actually quite old but makes for a sound into to the EP, which also features the songs ‘Sugar & Whitebread’, ‘Covered In Bugs’ and ‘Shine Like Gold & Diamonds’, as it’s a pretty apt example of Glass Candy’s slick retro Pop. Italo beats and analog synths with Ida No’s sultry vocals.

Amazing French Indie-ElectroPopsters Pony Pony Run Run return next month with a long awaited new single ‘Waling On A Line’. It’s a, frankly, brilliant slice of Indie-Electro that deserves all kinds of attention this summer.
There are loads of reMixes lined up for the reMix package, the stand out really has to be Lifelike’s stellar return to form with his summertime part reMix, so smooth the synths seem to melt together, all 7m50s of it is brilliant. For darker take on the tune check out French Fries’ Dubstep workout with downpitched vocals while Blatta & Inesha deliver a straight up wonky banger.

New Young Pony Club have débuted the video for their next single ‘We Want To’, the second single from their latest album, ‘The Optimist’. It appears to be a funny take on Russian infomercials and adverts.
‘The Optimist’ is out now and the ‘We Want To’ single will be out soon.
