AlunaGeorge reMix Baby Monster

babymonster

We’ve not heard enough from AlunaGeorge recently, but Baby Monster new single ‘The Fear Of Charlie Sunrise’ is the perfect track for them to reMix.

Doing that thing they do where the make thing experimental, yet melodic. Deep and dubby, yet bright and poppy, AlunaGeorge create a richly textured soundscape that showers you with snatches of vocal and waves of lush synths.

♫ Baby Monster – The Fear Of Charlie Sunrise (AlunaGeorge reMix)

‘The Fear Of Charlie Sunrise’ is taken from Baby Monster’s self-titled début album, out now.

Aimes début album

aimes

Following on from Brooklyn based producer Aimes’ single ‘Every Time When I See You’ comes his just released début album.

‘Your Floor Is Now A Tree’ is a raw album, by which I mean it’s electronic, but doesn’t sound sequenced and quantized. It feels like it is being played live on every listen. There’s an excitement and energy that comes with that feeling that suits Aimes, Chillwave, Dreamwave, DiscoPop, Indie-Electro crossover perfectly. A deeply introspective album, both musically and vocally, Aimes conveys a subdued emotional resonance in every song, through chord progression and narrative. You can tell the album is very personal to him. And hey, there’s stuff to dance to here too!

♫ Aimes – Living Like We Do

♫ Aimes – Hard Notes & Love Drugs

♫ Aimes – Wonder Stories

‘Your Floor Is Now A Tree’ is out now on ModyWorks.

Toro Y Moi

Toro Y Moi’s new video, ‘How I Know’ is decidedly slapstick by Toro Y Moi standards.

Jordan Kin directed this clip which has gone a bit hipster Casper.

‘How I Know’ is the third single from ‘Underneath the Pine’.

a&r’s new track

a&r

Brooklyn duo a&r recently dropped a new track on their SoundCloud page, and it’s a stormer.

‘Perfect Thieves’ is just the kind of top quality, emotional, ElectroPop we’ve come to expect from these two. This is big, 80’s chords, SynthPop but with an Indie sensibility and one foot squarely on the dancefloor. The vocal style and dreamy synth sounds make me think of a slightly more gangly guitar infused Monarchy with this tune,

Sykur

Sykur

Sykur are a new Icelandic trio who are gearing up for a September release of their début UK single, ‘Shed Those Tears’.

There’s loads of early 80’s SynthPop in ‘Shed These Tears’, there almost a Soft Cell quality to the tune, but with a nice raw contemporary Electro production style. The trio of Halldór, Stefán and Kristján already  are well respected on the Reykjavik Electro scene, and the respect is well deserved, their music portrays a skill, maturity and tradition well beyond their years. The single will be backed with reMixes from the crazy FM Belfast, who cut and splice the track to give it a slightly more dancefloor vibe and DJ Kris Di Angelis who takes the track straight into Deep House territory as he gets proggy with it.

Dirty Vegas Vs. Penguin Prison

Just out is Dirty Vegas’ ‘Little White Doves’ single from their recent ‘Electric Love’ album. We already dropped the Visitor reMix a while back and alongside that and tracks from Nightriders, Blonde Rocka and Ladytron, Indie-ElectroPopper Penguin Prison contributes to the package.

PP goes all epic 80’s soundtrack rock meets deep House tune for his take on the tune. The anthemic vocals and rousing retro sound counterpointed with low down Acid burbling and a hypnotic groove. Dirty Vegas have returned the favour by contributing to the (now massive) collection of reMixes of Penguin Prison’s ‘Fair Warning’ who work their sunrise House magic on the song with a nice subtle Balearic feel to it.

iamamiwhoami’s ‘Clump’ video

Jonna Lee’s iamamiwhoami return this week with a brand new video for the track ‘Clump’.

Following on from the ‘John’ video, it’s pretty intense, and slightly creepy, stuff. The track itself is top quality Scandinavian SynthPop and one of the poppier iamamiwhoami tunes.

Holy Ghost! and Michael McDonald!

Holy Ghost! forthcoming new single, ‘Some Children’ has got itself a cool minute long commercial courtesy of Ghoster Adam Fuchs, and Adult Swim.

Hopefully it will get expanded into a full video soon and the song well deserves it, a funky urban electronic groove featuring the voice of yacht legend Michael McDonald. The clip seems to be built around the sheep omnipotent power of McDonalds voice.

‘Some Children’ is out soon and taken from Holy Ghost!’s self titled début album, out now.
