StardonE

After a bit of a drought, SoundCloud has been turning up some real gems in the last week. One of them is StardonE, being one of many massages in our SoundCloud inbox vying for attention it takes a lot to stand out. StardonE’s music does!

The analog synth jockey creates a mood that is not to dissimilar to Lifelike but with (even) more of an 80’s retro synth feel. It’s almost like pure distilled instrumental Dreamwave. Sparkling arpeggios intertwine with sweeping leads and a touch of Disco bass. This is music to dance to, to love to and to enigmatically brood to as the rain fizzes off the neon lights.

♫ StardonE – Love Fighter

We literally cannot wait for more from StardonE, I suggest you all go and give him some MySpace lovin’!

Aeroplane reMixes Gypsy And The Cat

We’ve enthused about Gypsy And The Cat a few times here on electronic rumors, they’ve just got this cool blissed out Indie-Electro groove going on and some excellent songwriting.

The now solo Vito Aeroplane has dropped an awesome mix of ‘The Piper’s Song’, adding a little of his trademark Electro Disco and a mindblowing 90’s Pop hook. If you don’t like this you must be dead inside!

♫ Gypsy And The Cat – The Piper’s Song (Aeroplane reMix)

Gemini Club Vs. Hey Champ! FIGHT!!!

It’s a meeting of minds in the heart of Chicago. Gemini Club and Hey Champ! should, by now, be well known to readers of electronic rumors and I think, generally, they’ve done the world a favour and unleashed a mighty soundclash on us!

Gemini Club’s recent single ‘Ghost’ gets the Hey Champ! treatment and winds up a chilled Nu-Disco jam that just slides out of the speakers, even when the vocals are being cut-up.

♫ Gemini Club – Ghost (Hey Champ! reMix)

Gemini Club’s take on Hey Champ!’s oft-reMixed ‘Cold Dust Girl’ is an 8 minute electronic epic that never once gets boring. A head on collision between Nu-Disco and Indie-Electro, the track takes a turn for the heart attack inducing at the 4:40 mark.

♫ Hey Champ! – Cold Dust Girl (Gemini Club reMix)

Gemini Club’s ‘Ghost’ is out now.

Hey Champ!’s ‘Cold Dust Girl’ single can be downloaded from the band’s official site and their album ‘Star’ available now.

Alfa drops new tracks

Binary floorfiller Alfa has dropped three new audio bombs this week, so get ready for some serious synthesizer fallout.

First up is a original track, ‘Sky Patrol’. A pumping Nu-Disco jam with the dancefloor energy turned up to 11. Vocoded vocals are sent through a mangel and spat out the other side over frantic arpeggios…I defy you not to move to this!

♫ Alfa – Sky Patrol

The man has also let loose a couple of new official reMixes he’s put together. His reMix for ODahl’s ‘Dance Mama’ show his more chilled Dreamwave (more Binary!) side and the FM slap bass on his mix of ‘Givin’ It Up’ by Vim Cortez is something you’ve got to hear for yourself!

♫ ODahl – Dance Mama (Alfa reMix)

♫ Vim Cortez – Givin’ It Up (Alfa reMix)

While other Binary artists have been getting some fantastic coverage lately it’s defiantly time for Alfa to step into the limelight!

Yelle’s new single on Kitsuné

Parisian ElectroPop princess Yelle returns this October with a new single on Kitsuné Music.

Co-written, again, by GrandMarnier & tEPr and produced by Siriusmo, the track ‘La Musique’ is a nice slice of analog French Pop with a hypnotic bassline and leads which cut through the song. Lorenz Rhode’s reMix amps up the deep Disco into serious French-Touch territory with a killer ‘70’s Moog bassline.

‘La Musique’ drops 4th October.

Anoraak & Sally Shapiro

French retro synth master Frederic Riviere A.K.A. Anoraak has finally dropped his début album, ‘Wherever The Sun Sets’, and it’s awesome.

It’s everything you’d expect from the long time officer in the Valerie army. Dreamy ElectroPop meets 80’s teen movie soundtrack. Here we can sample for you an alternate mix of the track ‘Don’t Be Afraid’ featuring the vocals of repeat Anoraak collaborator and Italo/Pop heroine Sally Shapiro. Pure bliss!

♫ Anoraak (Feat. Sally Shapiro) – Don’t Be Afraid (Alternative Version)

‘Wherever The Sun Sets’ is out now.

Bag Raiders’ new album

Next month sees the release of Bag Raiders début full length album on Modular.

Bag Raiders have always, consistently, pumped out some of the best Nu-Disco/ElectroPop sounds around, so the album, titled ‘Way Back Home’, is highly anticipated. Check the title track, it perfectly displays Bag Raider knack for storming dancefloor Disco with Pop sensibilities which those lucky enough to be in Australia this year can sample live as the duo embark on a national tour to promote the album, details here.
