Two Door Cinema Club can talk!

I Can Talk’ by Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club was one of the highlights of Kitsuné Music’s Kitsuné Maison 8 compilation and yesterday saw the 12” release of the track.

For the Kitsuné release, reMixes are provided by French Horn Rebellion, Moulinex and these two here, by Golden Bug and Crystal Fighters.

I think Golden Bug’s is my favourite, I love the heavy analogy bass throughout and vocoded backing vocals. It’s a old school vocal Electro track guaranteed to make you move. Crystal Fighters’ mix, despite frantic percussion, is more chilled and intricate with a hint of dancefloor bass.

More new Fan Death!

Here we have another sneak peek at Fan Death’s forthcoming, eagerly anticipate, EP ‘A Coin In The Well’!

‘Cannibal’ has got more of the strings 7 disco vibe that ‘Veronica’s Veil’ had compared to ‘Reunited’, the last track we heard. I couldn’t pick between the two for lead track though, I honestly can’t wait to hear the rest!

Ellie Goulding reMixes galore!

Ellie Goulding’s ‘Under the Sheets’ dropped yesterday and is destined for major success, the music blogosphere is awash with reMixes.

Here’s some of the best that have landed in the electronic rumors inbox. Baby Monster’s mix is making waves and it’s a pounding retro styled pop affair while The Knocks produce a Electro jam with a wicked big synth bassline. Pariah’s spacey Dubstep builds to an almost garage beat for it’s finale.

The Good Natured

Sarah McIntosh A.K.A. The Good Natured is currently making tiny ripples amongst the UK music press having been championed by, amongst others, The NME, The Guardian and PopJustice. Tiny ripples that are sure to grow into ElectroPop waves!

Beats that range from laidback grooves to more dancefloor and Drum & Bass tinged patterns provide the backdrop for cheap synths and Sarah’s heartfelt vocals.

Sounding a lot more raw and exiting than many of her contemporary female singer/songwriters, The Good Natured is a UK female fronted ElectroPop act who are headed for dark, dingy clubs rather than her peer’s glossy retro discos!

You can pick up The Good Natured ‘s ‘Your Body Is A Machine’ EP from either their MySpace or from Rough Trade records.
