Frankmusik Vs. Fan Death Vs. Frankmusik

frankmusik2

Frankmusik‘s new single ‘Better Off As Two’ is set to drop on April 2nd and is exactly the kind of ElectoPop goodness we’ve come to expect from the guy.

Reporting for reMix duty are Italo-Disco-Art-Kooks Fan Death who bring home the storming Disco bacon with this one!

There had better be a vocal version on the single or someone’s gonna’ pay!

The man brings himself some noise on his own reMix.

Sportsday Megaphone

Lo-Fi emotional ElectroPopster Sportsday Megaphone has just unleashed this animated video of his single ‘Meet Me In The Middle’

The single, which was released a month or so ago on Sunday Best Recordings, features reMixes from Kitsune’s David E. Sugar and Max Justus, who ChipTune’s up the whole thing.

♫ Sportsday Megaphone – Meet Me In The Middle (David E. Sugar reMix) (zShare ) (MediaFire)

But, to be honest, although I do really like those reMixes I still think the original is better.

Sportsday seems more fun than it used to be!

Filthy Dukes’ rhythm

filthydukes

9th March is a date for your diary, ‘cos that’s when Filthy Dukes‘ ‘This Rhythm’ comes out, and its seriously good.

Featuring Late Of The Pier‘s Sam Dust on vocals ‘This Rhythm’ is a huge slice of 80’s influenced ElectroPop. Sam’s vocals are the perfect counterpoint to Filthy Dukes Numanoid disco.

♫ Filthy Dukes (Feat. Samuel Dust) – This Rhythm (Radio Edit) (zShare) (MediaFire)

ReMix duties are covered by Emperor Machine, Toddla T & Fred Falke.

WestEndGirls drop Pet Shop Boys penned track

westendgirls

Seriously, what’s not to like about WestEndGirls?

For starters Isabelle is the daughter of Hans Erkendahl from The Mobile Homes, that makes them SECOND GENERATION SYNTHPOP!!! Who’d have thunk such a thing would ever exist?

Secondly, crazy dresses Swedish girls covering, exclusively, Pet Shop Boys songs…duh?!?!

Well, ‘covering, exclusively, Pet Shop Boys songs’, until recently. Now the girls are ready to release an original tune…written by Pet Shop Boys, how convenient! The track was originally going to be part of PSB’s 2001 musical ‘Closer to Heaven’ but never made it.

You can tell it’s a Tennant track, but I get a Depeche Mode vibe for it as well. See what you think.

♫ WestEndGirls – A Little Black Dress (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘A Little Black Dress’ is released on 9th February, and the girls last album, which is all Pet Shop, all the time, is still available.

CHEW LiPS

chewlips1

London ElectroPop heroes CHEW LiPS get their first 12″, ‘Solo’, released by Kitsuné Music on the 23rd March.

Kinda’ like Crystal Castles joined by Peter Hook and Róisín Murphy, CHEW LiPS’ rise from ‘just formed’ to ‘getting bigged up by BBC radio and signed to Kitsuné’ has been sickeningly fast 😉 . All deserved though!

CHEW LiPS are yet to début, but when they do I’m sure you will be able to pick up their stuff at the usual spots.

petshopboys

Dirty, dirty Internetz!!!! Gone and leaked the new Pet Shop Boys single everywhere!

PopJustice have been bigging up the forthcoming album, ‘Yes’, for a while now and if they are to be believed, it’s a serious return to form.

Decide for yourself by wrapping your ear holes round the single, ‘Love Etc…’:

Røyksopp Vs. Boys Noize

royksopp2

I’m sure everyone is eagerly awaiting Røyksopp‘s new album. What better, to tide you over, than ElectroPop’s most chilled noodlers having their latest single ravaged by ElectroHouse beasts Boys Noize and turned into an Acid monster!

Calm yourself with some of this:

Ladyhawke: Back to Paris!

ladyhawke2

Pip’s back! Well…re-released anyway, with a shit-load of new reMixes.

On March 2nd Modular Recordings re-release Ladyhawke‘s ‘Paris Is Burning’ on 7″ and digital with piles of new reMixes by such names as Matthew Dekay, Simmons & Christopher and Innerpartysystem. The digital format also includes that cover of Britney Spears’ ‘Womanizer’.

Try this taster of the Simmons & Christopher mix for size.

♫ Ladyhawke – Paris Is Burning (Simmons & Christopher reMix) (Clip) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Suits you sir?

In a break from tradition the cover features a dog (or wolf?) rather than the usual cats…I get the feeling she’s fucking with us!

You don’t need me to harp on about how good Ladyhawke’s début album is again…it just is!

Pip gotta’ eat y’all:
