A while back we reported that Pet Shop Boys were going to be providing one of the reMixes for Lady GaGa’s next single ‘Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)’.
Well, here it is!

It looks like AOL were just giving it away in recognitions of their BRITs performance this week!
The single is out soon on Polydoor.
We’ve already posted the video for The Presets‘ next single, the wonderful ‘If I Know You’, one of the reMixes we were very exited to hear was by Italo-ElectroPopsters Heartbreak.
Well here it is!
♫ The Presets – If I Know You (Heartbreak reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)
Heartbreak seem to be consistently brilliant in everything the do and pairing The Presets with them it like ElectroPop gold!
‘If I Know You’ will be out in late march on Modular Recordings.
Grab a taste!
Sometimes I hate MySpace, whilst it is possibly the best tool on the Internet for discovering new music you have to wade through so much shite, so much mediocre, uninspired bollocks it drives you mad.
And sometimes I love MySpace when it throws up gems like Preston Park.
With the kind of spacey, funky ElectroPop Preston makes I can’t believe he’s not signed.
Check out a couple of tracks.

What can we say about covers of ‘Enjoy The Silence’? Everyone tries it at least once, most fail miserably. You can’t blame them for trying, though, it is one of the greatest songs ever written after all.
A few succeed…
Luckily, sultry London SynthPop trio Red Blooded Women fall into the later category with this fantastic cover of Depeche Mode’s classic, here given analogue dancefloor treatment by reMixers of the moment Designer Drugs.

‘Enjoy The Silence’ is released on 29th March and includes reMixes by Parralox, Heads We Dance, 7th Heaven and Bassmonkey.
The ‘You Made Your Bed’ EP is still available below:

It’s a damn shame it’s February, ‘cos listening to Giantess just makes you want it to be summer!
This Massachusetts lot have a sound where filthy analogue growling jostles for place with bright lead lines and cheeky vocals all done with tongue firmly in cheek!
♫ Giantess – You Were Young (zShare) (MediaFire)
♫ Giantess – Tuff ‘N’ Stuff (zShare) (MediaFire)
They look like they are a lot of fun live too, hopefully they will make it to these shores soon.
Giantess are currently unsigned but you can give them some MySpace love, there are more tracks there.
The Buffetlibre DJs Rewind project claims another victim, this time Leeds ElectroPop dramatists Heads We Dance have only gone and covered Kraftwerk, ain’t they!
♫ Heads We Dance – Computer Love (Kraftwerk Cover) (BL Rewind) (zShare) (MediaFire)
It’s quite a cool, fun, cover in HWD’s usual Electro/Disco style.
Pretty fitting for a band who’s entire catalogue appears to be about some form of machine lovin’ or other, including their 2008 ‘hit’ ‘Love In The Digital Age’
♫ Heads We Dance – Love In The Digital Age (zShare) (MediaFire)
HWD’s clubby ElectroPop goodness is available now!
Ahh, that timeless story of a girl and her keytar….
Let me introduce to you LIGHTS.
Why?
Well, ‘cos it’s Sunday and LIGHTS is kinda’ ‘Sunday SynthPop’. It’s some pretty chilled tunes, but without being dreary or ambient. This is singer/songwriter stuff. Actually, there is a hint of a female The Postal Service going on here, albeit more optimistic, or a less folksy Lykke Li.
Like I said, girl and her keytar…
Did I mention she’s from Toronto?
♫ LIGHTS – Drive My Soul (zShare) (MediaFire)
♫ LIGHTS – The Last Thing On Your Mind (zShare) (MediaFire)
There’s more on her MySpace.
LIGHTS will be here in the UK for a few shows in April and her just released her début EP, which is available below along with a bunch of other cool stuff like comic books and headbands!
Yesterday, The Presets premièred their new video for the upcoming single ‘If I Know You’:
The video is directed by Eva Husson (who directed the acclaimed short for M83’s Kim and Jessie)
‘If I Know You’ is possibly my favourite track off of last years, absolutely stunning, ‘Apocalypso’ so I’m chuffed it’s getting single treatment, even more so if you take into account the reMix line up, which includes Tom Middleton, Via Tania & Jori Hulkkonen, Chaim, Heartbreak and Vince Clarke!!!
‘If I Know You’ will be out in late march on Modular Recordings, more news as we have it.
If there is anyone out there stupid enough not to have The Presets’ last two albums, they can rectify the matter at the vendors below:
Nettwerk stopped by the ol’ Inbox this morning to drop off the video for the new Ladytron single, ‘Tomorrow’, which we told you about here.
The dreamlike video was directed by Neil Krugand filmed in Kansas and Barcelona.
Regardé:
The single, out on the 23rd February, will include this reMix by Vector Lovers.

SynthPop superstars Marsheaux, this week, have given us a taste of what to expect from them in the future. The girls are still in the studio putting the finishing touches to their forthcoming album and this track, ‘Breakthrough’, is the first to be completed.
If this is what we should be looking forward to then we are salivating for the full release! This is, IMHO the best track Marsheaux have ever done!
Absolutely spot-on, no-bollocks, classic SynthPop. This is how it should be done!
♫ Marsheaux – Breakthrough (zShare) (MediaFire)
Marsheaux defiantly deserve your attention!
