Here’s the video for Yuksek’s new single, ‘Off The Wall’.
Romain Segaud directed this mirror image fest which I think is supposed to look cool, but is actually pretty nightmarish.
‘Off The Wall’ is out soon featuring reMixes from, amongst others, Brodinski.

Is post-Chillwave a thing yet? If it is I would say Enjoyed are trailblazing the Genre, he bills himself as Joystep, not sure if thet’s a thing either, and his new EP, ‘Paws Extended’ (a stuffed-full-of-extra-goodies version of his ‘Paws’ EP of last year) definitely has more in common with things that end with ‘wave than things that end with ‘step.
The lead track of the EP, ‘Paws’ is warm and sublime, a swirling soundscape of relaxed Synths and reverb washed vocals that ebb and flow over a simple ,but Funk laden bassline. It’s ghostly groove is compelling and intoxicating. The EP continues with the hazy dub of ‘‘Waterfoot’ before launching into ‘Pupsqueak’, a meeting of the best of Chillwave with the more eclectic end of LA Funk. A deep, loose rhythm section provides rolling bass for the distant vocals and toytown synth leads to play over. ‘Swap’ sees Enjoyed in a hypnotic House mode that demands to be played in seedy clubs on hot city nights. reMixes are supplied by Glyphs, Vanilla, Ghosting Season and NazcarNation, who bring the broken beats and droning synths in a mid-frequency, mesmerizing, slice of Urban Funk.

We’ve covered Newcastle based Indie-Electro outfit Mausi’s new single ‘Sol.’ a couple of times in the past month, including the awesome Lightwaves’ reMix. The single is out this week, so what better time to check out the video.
Mausi seem to be having a good time! Well, you would if your début single was about to be released wouldn’t you?
‘Sol.’ is released this week.

Here’s another reMix of Ladyhawke’s first single from her forthcoming sophomore album ‘Anxiety’, ‘Black, White And Blue’. This time it’s Nile Delta stepping up to the plate to drop a deep electronic Acid Disco groove.
There’s a real old school Chicago feel to Nile Delta’s version. 909 rimshots and burbling Acid lines are the order of the day here, which work surprisingly (and I do mean surprisingly) well with Pips vocals. The whole thing sounds slightly more detached than before, but in a dark, strobe fuelled, club kinda’ way. Both alienating and involving. It’s my favourite mix of this track so far.

French duo Reflex, last seen reMixing Juveniles’ ‘Ambitions’ are about to drop their new single, ‘Wavering’.
‘Reflex’ seems like a fitting title for this amazingly ‘80’s sounding ElectroPop act. ‘Wavering’ is all bouncy retro lead lines over a pumping French Disco backing. The track is destined to be pretty big, it has everything you want really, it’s quirky and Indie SynthPop, but at the same time big dancefloor Disco and the sultry French-accented vocals are just the icing on the cake. What’s more, the reMix package is an impressive collection too, our friends JBAG drop a stand out dancefloor Pop mix full of bass groove and strings, while Kido Yoji supplies the single with an injection of Nu-Disco Funk for smooth summer nights. Backed up with a B-Side and equally slick reMixes from Second Date and Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya the whole package comes highly recommended.

‘Night Heat’ is the new single from New Wavers Selebrities, After their acclaimed album of late year, ‘Delusions’ it appears that they’ve been listening to early The March Violets a lot.
This new track really does sound like what would happen if Com Truise got really, really into early ‘80’s Goth, I’m still really not sure what to make of it, I like it but it makes my brain hurt. I turned my back on whiny, wall of sound, guitar over two decades ago and now this track sounds like someone playing an old Goth tune over some SynthWave I really like and likening it as much as I do makes me feel dirty inside.

The ‘Night Heat’ single is out 20th Match on Cascine.

Once more Josh Legg has knocked it out of the park with his latest Goldroom reMix. I would say the constant quality is getting tedious if it wasn’t for the fact that his reMixes rock.
this time around it’s Kitsuné’s Citizens! turn for a ride on the Goldroom train as their ‘Reptile’ gets and almost Italo workout. Check out those bright, shimmering synths, like something straight out of an optimistic ‘80’s Sci-Fi movie, a new feature to Goldroom’s arsenal, but one that slips in effortlessly with the laidback funk we’ve come to love. Mixing that with Citizens! track actually results in the most ‘80’s Goldroom track to date, an interesting, but not in the slightest unwelcome, development.
♫ Citizens! – Reptile (Goldroom reMix)
‘Reptile’ is released 19th March with reMixes from remixes by ATTAR!, Cosmic Kids & Tony Adams, Matthias Zimmermann and ColeCo.

We’re still in two minds about what we’ve heard of Ladyhawke’s forthcoming new album, some of what we’ve heard is amazing, some of it too rocky for our tastes. I guess we’re just wishing for the good old days of 2008 New Wave Ladyhawke. Take the new single, ‘Black, White & Blue’ it sounds like catchy Ladyhawke, but all those standard rock guitars kinda’ grate on our ears. Enter Punks Jump Up to save the day.
Their reMix of ‘Black, White & Blue’ is exactly what I wanted to hear for the single. I love Pip’s voice so much, so that combined with Punks Jump Up’s bouncy FM bassline is pure gold. Full of hits, stabs and other retro dance tropes this track is gonna’ be so much fun to drop on a dancefloor.
