Jump Jump Dance Dance

LA based Electro-Indie-Rock duo Jump Jump Dance Dance are releasing their début single, ‘Show Me The Night’ on 26th March, and it’s a catchy party track with an LCD Soundsystem crossed with The Whip feel to it.

The single contains some great reMixes. Grum looks like he’s got his eyes on Russ Chimes’ constantly-amazing-nu-disco-remixes crown as he’s pumping out fantastic mix after mix and this one is no exception with a killer bassline and retro synths. ElectroPop newcomers Human Life turn in this hazy, summery, Disco tune that kicks into some old school rave chords.

Fear Of Tigers reMix Yes Giantess

Neon Gold have got so many fantastic artists and producers on speed dial that any combination of their associated acts is bound to produce stunning results.

But this hook up of Indie-ElectroPopsters Yes Giantess an the ever wonderful Fear Of Tigers sounds just too good to be true, but it’s not, it manages to live up to expectations!

The Starsmith produces ‘The Ruins’ is a great SynthPop track to begin with, but Fear Of Tigers knocks it out of the park, lifting the track into a epic Nu-Disco powerhouse, a retro synth monster soundtrack to your teenage summers!

The single, ‘The Ruins’ drops 8th March.

Grum Vs. Magistrates

Essex Indie outfit Magistrates have been given the Electro treatment by the always quality Grum.

A bit more ElectroPop than your usual Grum outing but it’s still got that Grum groove and the whole track works together brilliantly. ‘Gold Lover’ sounds like it was written with this reMix in mind!

Apparently Magistrates have split up, or something.

Diamond Cut reMixes The Candle Thieves

We’ve been very impressed with many of Diamond Cut’s recent reMixes so when a new one hits the electronic rumors inbox it always makes us sit up and pay attention.

Here he has turned his skills to Lo-Fi bedroom popsters The Candle Thieves and their track ‘We’re All Gonna’ Die (Have Fun)’ turning the quirky Indie-Pop track into a smooth ElectroPop journey that carries you away on sweeping synths whist retaining the intimate feel of the original. Great stuff!

The ‘We’re All Gonna’ Die (Have Fun)’ single is out 29th March on Downtown Records

A bunch of Short Circuit reMixes!

The good folks at LA based Dreamwave/SynthPop label Binary stopped by the electronic rumors inbox to drop off a bunch of reMixes, some old, some new showcasing the production talents of Andrew Verner A.K.A. Short Circuit just ahead of his début album release.

His reMixes of Keenhouse’s ‘Mecho Maniac’ and The Presets’ ‘Kicking And Screaming’ have been knocking around for a while now but perfectly show off Andrews unique take on the Dreamwave sound, kinda’ like a rawer, more analog version take on the genre.

He’s also dropped two new reMixes of 80’s classics Def Leppard’s ‘Foolin’’ and Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat it’, which display a more urgent, almost more aggressive, evolution to his style.

Andrew has been locked away in his studio for months and Binary will be releasing the results very soon.

Russ Chimes + Cassette Kids

CassetteKids02

Russ Chimes is back again to wreck shop! This time he turns his attention to Australian Electro-Indie outfit Cassette Kids and looks set to stop a hole in music blogland once again!

Just how the man manages to keep up the pace of pushing out huge mix after huge mix is a mystery. The width of the reMix is immense with layer upon layer of vocals and soaring synths tied together with Russ’ trademark Disco beats and basslines. Big House reMix is a pretty apt description!"

Cassette Kids forthcoming album ‘Nothing On TV’ has been produced by Van She’s Michael DiFrancesco! the ‘Spin’ single is out 8th March and also features reMixes from Bang Gang, Cassian, Cassette Club and The Vanish!!!

Euphorie

You won’t be surprised to hear that new Electro act Euphorie hail from France!

With most of the attention of Electro lovers out there being put upon Dreamwave recently it’s nice to hear some straight up bangers still being produced, and ‘My Lipids’ certainly is that! It’s a 100% Electro party track that would slay on any dancefloor! ‘Bots Attack’, on the other hand, is a relentless, Industrial, robotic Electro noise attack. Slow and methodical, it’s chainsaw synths will burn your brain!

Night Plane reMix

NightPlane

Simon from THISISNOTANEXIT records dropped this track over on his Twitter feed, it’s an amazing reMix of ‘Wave Haze’ by Night Plane from his ‘Chinese Shadows’ 12”.

Hypnotic and atmospheric, it’s a smooth, almost BladeRunner-esq, soundtrack to the city at night. A crazy, chilled, mash up of Dreamwave, SynthPop and Electro Jazz that’s just made for staring out the car window at the street lights rushing past.

The ‘Chinese Shadows’ 12” is available from the THISISNOTANEXIT store.

Fabian get new reMixes and a TNUC video!

Fabian

Fabian’s ‘Heatwave’ was originally featured on Binary’s excellent Dreamwave/SynthPop compilation ‘Binary Presents: LA Lights’, one of the standout tracks of the album, it was pure 80’s movie party scene montage soundtrack and created quite a bit of blog hype last year.

Now, not only are Binary dropping a superb reMix package but the track has been given the TNUC video treatment. TUNC is a video creator/editor, sometime reMixer, blogger from the 80’s(?) and all round purveyor of good taste, you can check the visuals he came up with for the track here.

The almighty, blog destroying, Russ Chimes contributes to the reMix line up and really excels himself with the bassline and soaring synth work he lays down. Also along for this night drive are Werewolf By Night, one of my personal favourite Dreamwave artists with an uplifting, ringing, feelgood take and Short Circuit who bring things straight back to the dancefloor with their cut up electro.
