Here’s another new video from Binary cohorts SolarSolar.
‘This time it’s ‘Pilot’ album track ‘Monsters’ that gets the visual treatment. Directed and animated by Robert Waldeck there’s always something interesting to look at in this clip. And it;s relaxing, like the tune, too.

April will see the release of Sweedish three peice eclectic outfit World Tour’s third EP, ‘Believe’, on the home of all things Chilly, Wavey, Interestingy and Left-Field Poppy, Cascine.
This new EP is comprised of four tracks worth of chilled beats and slow-mo Piano House riffs and impassioned wailing from the tundra. An intricately crafted mix of introspective Indie and synth happy electronica, the ‘Believe’ EP is geared toward those times when you need to just stop and take everything in, this isn’t music for those in a hurry. The title track of the EP mixes up wrong speed House and a slightly oriental slant for an end result that makes everything go a bit hazy.
The ‘Believe’ EP is released 10th April on Cascine.

Quirky French ElectroPop duo The Penelopes release their new single at the beginning of next month. ‘Sally In The Galaxy’ is an uplifting, catchy track with a package that comes loaded with ace reMixes.
Producers of the original version, The Flight, who apparently have zero web-presence, drop their ‘Galactic’ reMix and it’s a fittingly title slab of Cosmic Disco. Weighing in heavy with their vocoders and sweet soaring synths The Flight, who still apparently have zero web-presence, strip the gangly Indie side of the track out, layer on their own Sci-Fi funk and what remains is a smooth beach Disco track fit for chilling on the Shores of Orion. It’s a nice contrast to the original’s fuzzy French Indie/Disco soundclash Pop sound. Both are equally infectious.

The biggest tragedy we’ve had to report on here on electronic rumors was the premature passing away of Où Est Le Swimming Pool singer Charlie Haddon, it was a shocking time for ElectroPop fans and I imagine a tough time for his bandmates.
Où Est keyboard player Alex is gaining a bit of attention with his new project, The Ghosts, who are just about to release their second single, ‘Ghosts’. A wonderfully catchy slice of Indie-Electro that shares some obvious Où Est DNA but carves out a sound of it’s own. With it’s heavy synths played against some distant gangly Indie guitar it strikes exactly the right balance for success. Check out the Alex Kyrou directed video which is nicely spooky and tongue in cheek.
‘Ghosts’ is released 8th April on Pocket Records with The Ghosts’ début album released the following week.

Ladyhawke being reMixed by Treasure Fingers? Oh, it’s just like the good old days, or at least 2008, when Pip ruled all and TF reMixed everyone!
So this nostalgic team up actually delivers the goods. Leaning very much in a ‘90’s House direction, Treasure Fingers drops beats, breaks and House Piano liberally only keeping the chorus and the tiniest bit of synth from Ladyhawke’s original. Although much more retro House than he used to be you can still tell a Treasure Fingers production, just like you can always tell Pip’s vocals. Ahh, the memories…

It’s Substatic update time! When last we left out heroes they were knocking around on ‘electronic rumors Volume 1’ and playing a blinding set at the album launch party. That set showcased not only their new, leaner, line up but also a plethora of new material and, dare I say it, a new ‘sound’, one with a tad more Funk.
Here’s two new tracks to get your aural juices flowing. ‘iMake Noise’ is a bass fuelled steamroller of a track, the don’t-call-it-Dubstep bassline slowly grinding against your brain makes for the perfect accompaniment to Colleen’s sultry, dangerous, vocals. It’s a track with a sense of urgency, a nervous energy that threatens to break at any moment amidst the chiming lead lines. There’s definitely something cinematic about ‘iMake Noise’. ‘Arcadia’ is an instrumental track and, I presume, a tribute to the giant, travelling robo-stage of the same name. Last year at Bestival I was camped literally right next to Arcadia and whilst this track doesn’t quite capture the 5:30am ground shaking, can’t sleep, bass, what it does instead is make you wanna’ jump up with it’s shuffling beats and dirty, funk fuelled synth grind. Capturing the best of those times you can loose yourself on the dancefloor, ‘Arcadia’ should be played at peak time in a field with 30,000 other nutters!

‘This Summer’ is the lead track from Australian Indie-ElectroPop outfit Rüfüs’ forthcoming new EP.
Following on from the success of ‘We Left’ and ‘Paris Collides’ and their awesome reMix collections, ‘This Summer’ is a deep, anthemic, call-to-dance from the three peice. The track is actually more akin to an epic vocal House track and reminds me a little of Dirty Vegas, with more impassioned vocals. With big rolling bass, massive soundscape-like synths, and a huge, booming vocal, could this be the beginning of Stadium Indie-Electro?
