Two Door Cinema Club Vs. The Twelves

TwoDoorCinemaClub03

26th April in nearly upon us, that’s when the latest volume of Kitsuné Music’s Maison series is released. Maison 9, ‘The Petit Bateau Edition Or The Cotton Issue’, amongst a who host of shockingly good artists, some new, some welcome returns, features The Twelves reMix of Two Door Cinema Club’s forthcoming single ‘Something Good Can Work’.

The Twelves bring their customary Nu-Disco flavour to the Indie tune. It’s a really good song and this reMix is right up my street, toning down the guitars and turning up the synths!

Adam Kesher return

AdamKersher

French Nu-Rave (?) band Adam Kesher (a band not a person) have some success in 2007 with their ‘Modern Times’ and are back with a more mature sound.

A sound that they have roped in some help shaping. None other than Chromeo’s Dave One produced this joint with mixing skills from his brother A-Trak with Phillipe Zdar and Pierrick Devin. it’s a mixing pot that produces some really slick Indie-Electro that still kinda’ keeps Adam Kesher’s sound.

the album ‘Challenging Nature’ is due out in the coming months.

Bodi Bill & Siriusmo

BodiBill

I’d honestly never heard of Bodi Bill before their current single, ‘I Like Holden Caulfield’, landed in the electronic rumors inbox, but I was immediately all over it.

This German act is hard to pin down, a bit Lo-Fi, a bit Indie-Electro, a bit Bedroom Pop, even a little bit Folktronica, they have defiantly carved out a unique niche for themselves in the SynthPop landscape. Their glitchy beats and eclectic electronic instrumentation really keep the listener on their toes!

Siriusmo, who should be no stranger to you, provides a reMix of the track ‘Tip Toe Walk’ for the single and turns in a deep and atmospheric mix complete with buzzing organs, echoing piano and military drums.

‘I Like Holden Caulfield’ is now.

New Pony Pony Run Run single!

PonyPonyRunRun02

Amazing French Indie-ElectroPopsters Pony Pony Run Run return next month with a long awaited new single ‘Waling On A Line’. It’s a, frankly, brilliant slice of Indie-Electro that deserves all kinds of attention this summer.

There are loads of reMixes lined up for the reMix package, the stand out really has to be Lifelike’s stellar return to form with his summertime part reMix, so smooth the synths seem to melt together, all 7m50s of it is brilliant. For darker take on the tune check out French Fries’ Dubstep workout with downpitched vocals while Blatta & Inesha deliver a straight up wonky banger.

Detachments – H.A.L.

Today sees the release of Detachments limited edition 12” of live favourite ‘H.A.L.’ on THISISNOTANEXIT. This is an updated version of the track, produced by Simian Mobile Disco’s James Ford and it’s a post-punk-robo-disco juggernaut that wouldn’t have sounded out of place in the dark Industrial clubs of the early and mid-80’s.

You can pick up the 12” here.

Taking it’s tracks from 2007’s ‘Velocifero’ it’s mostly collected from the singles that accompanied the album with a couple of surprises thrown in. Take a listen to some of our favourites. The Toxic Avenger absolutely hammers home his dirty Electro-House banger version of ‘Ghosts’, Port-Royal turn in a Lo-Fi chilled take on ‘Tomorrow’ while Grey Ghost turns ‘Predict The Day’ into a smooth, vocoder driven, Dreamwave-esq synth odyssey.
