Hey! Ellie Goulding has finally dropped a real video for ‘Starry Eyed’! The song’s been around for a while but it’s finally getting a single release.
So, here’s the clip:
‘Starry Eyed’ will be released on 22ng February, followed by Ellie’s album ‘Lights’ on 1st March
Indie-electro darlings Dragonette have roped in the talents of Michael Di Francesco of Van She fame under the alias of Arithmatix! for a pumping Nu-Disco killer remix.
Loaded with Italo influences and a Disco groove this reMix is gonna’ ram the dancefloors!

I’m insanely jealous of those living in the US right now as Dragonette are touring the states alongside Little Boots and Fan Death. Now that’s gonna’ be a hell of a night out!
Sting’s kid Eliot Sumner, also known as I Blame Coco, has been getting a lot of blog inches recently, especially with the forthcoming release of her début single ‘Caesar’ which features Scandinavian SynthPop queen Robyn.
What’s interested me is this reMix by one of our favourite acts Miike Snow (who she’s also working with) as they drop heavy beats and a really deep Electronic sound.

‘Caesar’ is released as a limited edition 10” on 1st February.
It been almost a year since we wrote about Canadian Keytar queen LIGHTS, and what a busy year it has been for her. A couple of EPs and her full length CD, ‘The Listening’, were released on Sire and she is currently touring to globe with Owl City.
Late last year she released a series of motion comics titles ‘Audio Quest: A Capt. LIGHTS Adventure’ which even ended up being played on MTV.
A motion comic, for those who don’t know, is something both Marvel and DC are dabbling with right now. Not quite animation but more kinetic than a comic book panel, both comic giants have experimented with turning some of their bigger existing comic titles into moving images. Just watch the thing, you’ll see what I mean!
Anyway, LIGHTS, a comic and Sci-Fi fan, released four episodes of this little musical Sci-Fi adventure last year and in honour of the release of episode five, exclusively on MySpace we thought we’d show you the previous four chapters.
Enjoy!
Episode five can be seen right now here on MySpace!
What’s not to like about LIGHTS? Cute girl with Keytar, makes ElectroPop, into Sci-Fi, Comics and Gaming. It’s like she was made from science!
More reMixes are coming in of Ocelot’s forthcoming single ‘Our Time’.
Calvertron’s take on the track is all bleeps and bass. Stripping out most the vocals and replacing them with a heavy bassline and chaotic synths completely juxtaposed by a beautifully 80’s breakdown!

‘Our Time’ drops soon on Wall Of Sound.
Afghan Raiders stopped by the electronic rumors Inbox to drop off their latest reMix and this time its Psychedelic Indie-ElectroPoppers Neon Indian who get a ‘Raiders going over.
There’s almost a Dubstep vibe running through a lot of this track, Big warping Dub basslines and rimshot rhythms run through the first couple of minutes until the Analog ElectroPop kicks in.

‘Deadbeat Summer’ is taken from the ‘Psychic Charms’ album, out now:
Rimeroni Vumani A.K.A. Rimer London is one third of Dutch ElectroPoppers Le Le, and while Le Le go for the sleazy, dirty Electro side of things Rimmer London has one foot squarely in Italo Disco and the other in Chiptune.
Creating Moroder-esq grooves with 8-Bit sounds and warm analog basses these two tracks from his début EP are infections as hell!

♫ Rimer London – Go Away (zShare) (MediaFire)
Love that picture of him imitating Giorgio Moroder’s famous studio shot too!
Rimer London’s ‘Intercity EP’ is released 25th January on Magnetron, until the give the man some MySpace love:
Coming to the UK for the first time in 2010 are New York ElectroPoppers The Mystic Underground.
Available next week as a digital release is their new single ‘April Fools Day’, a slice of traditional SynthPop, well executed. I’ve not heard Orchestral Hits since the 90’s but The Mystic Underground are bringin’ ‘em back! Some pretty nice lyrics, with a sweet narrative sit atop this upbeat Modern SynthPop track.

The Mystic Underground’s new long player will be out later in the year.

Here at electronic rumors we love Marina And The Diamonds, we can’t help it, it’s just the way it is! If we ever need a break from the hardcore Electronics, Marina is our ‘go to’ gal.
So great news then that Marina’s forthcoming single ‘Hollywood’ (which we featured here) has some great reMix talent backing it up. UK boys Fenech-Soler serve up a storming French style Electro-House mix that really drives and makes fantastic use of the “Oh my god!” line! DFA’s resident Housemeisters The Juan MacLean bring the piano and string stabs for their Dirty House version.

Valerie collective staple Anoraak and Russia’s Tesla Boy are both electronic rumors favourites, so the idea of one reMix the other seems just to good to be true, but here it is!
Anoraak’s ‘Nightdrive With You’ hasn’t left my MP3 player since it was released last year, alone with it’s multitude of reMixes, here Tesla Boy do something a bit different, bringing some funky guitars and more of a classic Disco Funk vibe to the ElectroPop tune.

Compare it to the original, those opening keys still send shivers up my spine!
