New Wave legends DEVO are gearing up for the release of their first full studio album since 1990, and part of that involved letting the fans decide what tracks make it to the final disk as explained in this trailer:
You can check out the songs and vote here, sounds like it could be a cracking album!
So what happens when Poney Poney change their name and enlist Justice’s Xavier de Rosnay and Daft Punk’s sound Engineer Peter Franco to produce their album?
Jamaica, that’s what! They have just dropped this, their début track, ‘I Think I Like U 2’, which is a feel good, upbeat Indie-Electro fun jam complete with Daft-style solo.

Jamaica also have a track on the forthcoming 9th edition of the Kitsuné Maison series and a full length album due out in August.

Today we can share with you another reMix of Baby Monster’s pretty gobsmacking début ‘She Comes Alive’.
This time it’s Golden Bug who saunters up to the bar and orders a shot of ‘She Comes Alive’. Layers upon layers of synths build on top of each other and intertwine with the original track to the beat of cheap drum machines. it’s a cool slice of Space-Disco.

‘She Comes Alive’ is out on 29th March on BigStereo Records, the 7” is pretty limited so go grab one while you can!

It’s been a while since Midnight Juggernauts released ‘This New Technology’ and we’re glad to say the band are preparing to return with a brand new single, titled ‘Vital Signs’, on their own label, Siberia Records, in April.
So, to keep you going until then we’ve got a couple of recent reMixes of ‘This New Technology’ for you. First up is, no stranger to electronic rumors, Ccenturiess and the sweet rolling bassline of their Disco Funk mix. In quite stark contrast is the B-side to the limited edition ‘This New Technology’ 7” on Acephale, a dungeon & bass (heh!) remix by Babe Rainbow that fills your speakers with haunting sounds and a bowel loosening bassline!

Kitsuné’s Irish boys Two Door Cinema Club are re-releasing their single ‘Something Good Can Work’ with a proper push this time, it’s the prefect summer Indie tune. It’s feel good and anthemic in an understated way.
Part of the reMix package will be this track by fellow Kitsunérs Ted & Francis who take that perfect summer Indie tune and dish it up for the ElectroPop crowd, it’s still a fun, sing-along, chilled piece of work but now comes with added Disco bassline, quirky lead and handclaps before dropping you in the middle of the best Electro beach party you’ve ever been to!

I’ve only just stumbled across Gypsy And The Cat, despite them being around for a while now. They have a track on the forthcoming Kitsuné Maison compilation which prompted me it dig a little deeper.
The Australian duo had a bit of blog attention last autumn with the track ‘Jona Vark’, a sweet, chilled, acoustic guitar/Dreamwave clash. Lazy comparisons to Empire Of The Sun seemed to have cropped up on most of the blogs who wrote about them but beyond the use of rich synths and acoustic guitar I think Gypsy And The Cat have a style all of their own.
Both that tune and ‘’Til Tomorrow’ are dreamy summertime Pop songs that show both depth of emotion and a cheeky sense of humour and some laidback soulful electronics.

Gypsy And The Cat are planning to release their début album this year, hopefully in time for summer!
It’s hard to say which is better between Penguin Prison’s ‘Something I’m Not’ and this track, it’s B-Side, ‘The Worse It Gets’. ‘Something I’m Not’ is more infectious, but this track is more upbeat and poppy. Tough call!
Listen for yourself, along with these two remixes by R.A.C. (reMix Artists Collective) who give the track a lightweight funky overhaul and minimal neo-classical electro artist ELOF who turns the track into a cute Lo-Fi SynthPop masterpiece.
