This track kicks off like a THX test!
Manc Electro producer The Sanfernando Sound has turned his attention to Sheffield Indie-Electro hype targets Starlings for their new single, ‘Sirens’ released today. You know what I though when I first heard this track?, it sounds like a heavier Erasure. Of course the Starlings’ singer has something of an Andy Bell quality about him but the music isn’t too far from the more DiscoPop end of Erasure, sure the drums and bassline are more dancefloor oriented but it really retains a mid-80s feel. More good stuff from The Sanfernando Sound!

‘Sirens’ is released today on Civil Music.

We have a couple of new reMixes from Australian Indie-Electropoppers Strange Talk’s awesome self-titled EP. Both of the track ‘Eskimo Boy’
First up is an absolutely killer Nu-Disco mix from Welsh duo Vanguard. Their storming version has a ton of funk and enough thick synth work and filtering to keep anyone happy. This is probably my track for the weekend! Meanwhile, Yes Giantess frontman Jan Rosenfeld’s Lightwaves moniker turns in a sweet, soaring, Dreamwavey. Both mixes really compliment an already rad track.

It’s been quite a while since we heard anything from the Baby Monster camp, but they are back with news of their début album.
Slated for a June, release the La based duo’s album is a pretty long awaited affair. Their previous singles ‘Ultra Violence and Beethoven’ and ’She Comes Alive’ gained them quite an online following but then things seemed to go silent. However ‘The Fear Of Charlie Sunrise’, a taste of what to expect from the long-player, shows the guys haven’t just been sitting around. It’s a beautiful piece of Indie-Electro, crazy with lush layers of synths and emotive vocals. We’re really looking forward to this album ‘round here!
♫ Baby Monster – The Fear Of Charlie Sunrise
Baby Monster’s self-titled début album is due out 27th June.

‘Solid Ground’ is the next single from PNAU’s forthcoming album ‘Soft Universe’ and gets the reMix treatment from Housemaister Cassian.
Cassian lay on the Sci-Fi Disco thick with this reMix, full of laser gun electro toms and raging Moog basslines. Elevating the vocal track to levels of pure funk euphoria Cassian had dropped a killer this time!

In advance of their eagerly awaited new album, ‘Gravity The Seducer’, ElectroPop legends Ladytron are releasing a new single, ‘White Elephant’.
More chilled and reverb heavy than their recent offerings, ‘White Elephant’ is probably a good representation of the new album which the band promised was going to be “more ethereal and melodic, a touch more abstract in places”. Retaining the trademark Ladytron bombast mixed with introspection the new single makes me wonder how much of an influence Ladytron were to the Chillwavers of this world, certainly the new album will probably go down a storm with them, and with anyone else who likes their ElectroPop intelligent, thoughtful and melodic.
♫ Ladytron – White Elephant
Ladytron’s new album, ‘Gravity The Seducer’ is released 12th September.

Cosmonaut Grechko’s new EP, ‘Alaska 2100’ is out this week and is a pretty stunning electronic masterpiece.
Grechko hits the ground running with track one, ‘Singin’’, with Joywave, it’s the prefect meeting of Dreamwave and Indie-Electro, like a spaced-out-Disco Passion Pit. It’s catchy but still maintains a summery mellow groove. ‘All I Hear’ is up next with some help from She’s The Queen (I’m writing about She’s The Queen on a day other than Thursday, feels weird) that tasks Emily’s vocals out of the normal DancePop environment and slides them into some laid back, almost Chillwave, reverb washed Disco. As with ‘Singin’’, ‘All I hear’ is incredibly listenable, Grechko’s organ riffs intertwining with the big retro synths to create an intricate, yet effortlessly cool, jam. ‘Coloreye’ and the title track are both more tradition Disco fare, both mellow and upbeat, that show Grechko still has the skills to flat out rock the dancefloor and they lead into a selection of reMixes including these two by Electronic Rumors faves Show Your Shoe and Blue Satellite. Show Your Shoe takes on ‘All I Hear’ and proves why he’s the man to watch when it comes to smooth Electro-Funk cuts with some crazy Moog action while Blue Satellite turns ‘Singin’ into a massive upbeat DiscoPop track.
The ‘Alaska 2100’ EP shows a real maturing of Cosmonaut Grechko, musically. An evolution of his music that will surely place him at the forefront of Indie-Electro and Nu-Disco.

Binary’s Short Circuit, the king of RoboPop, just dropped this reMix of Freelance Whales’ ‘Hannah’ on an unrespecting world.
Apparently it was for some Freelance Whales reMix contest, it didn’t win, which is odd, but then again if you look at this picture of Freelance Whales they seem a little simple. I mean, you’ve got to have a few difficulties if you pass up a deep synthin’ jam like this. It;’s got a bit of funk in it’s bass and a bit of the cosmic in it’s lead and is, generally, really easy on the ears.

Short Circuit’s (long awaited I might add) new EP should be out very soon!
