Jordan F’s ‘Summers Of Tomorrow’ EP

jordan-f1

Jordan F is fast becoming the Vangelis of the SynthWave world. After dropping a bunch of beach party tunes Jordan seems to have turned his attention to soundtracking a dystopian future, as he does in his latest EP for Rosso Corsa Records.

The ‘Summers of Tomorrow’ EP is a journey through rain the back streets of some megacity, bather on a neo glow with only the rain for company. The EP kick off with ‘Beginnings’ which, as you can imagine, is a sweeping, epic, title sequence peice, slow basslines, reminiscent of the ‘80’s ‘V’ are accompanied by some powerful melodic work that draws you in and sets you up for the other three tracks. ‘Abandoned Streets’ drops you right into the ‘plot’ of the EP, moody Italo beats and basslines and Sci-Fi synths convey the mood of Jordan’s future metropolis. His skilful melding of Italo, Outrun Electro and EBM allows him to create these Cyberpunk atmospheres in his tracks without ever becoming over-run by it, as with ‘Renegade’, you realise Jordan can evoke this BladeRunner-esque imagery, but never looses sight of just being a good song either. ‘Renegade’ is both narratively exciting and a damn good retro Italo tune. The EP wraps up with the title track, the rousing, hopeful, aftermath of the release. this has been an amazing year for Jordan F, having gone from Dreamwave newcomer to one of the big players of the SynthWave scene and a bit of a wizard behind the synths.

The ‘Summers Of Tomorrow’ EP will be available for free download on the Rosso Corsa Records Bandcamp soon.

Miami Nights 1984’s ‘Saved By The Bell’

miami-nights-1984

Miami Nights 1984’s X-Mas gift to you all!

After a period of quite Miami Nights 1984 drops another tune, hot on the heels of ‘Ocean Drive’. ‘Saved By The Bell’ is pure electronic nostalgia. A pretty gentle tune that works it way into you heart and soul with a solid Italo beat and some of the richest, most pleasing, synth work I have heard in ages. I hope we hear more from Miami Nights 1984 in 2012 than we did this year.

Legan And Met’s ‘Future Odyssey’

Legan And Met

Dutch duo Legan And Met first came to our attention with their recent reMix of Forster The People’s ‘Helena Beat’.

The guys have now released their début EP containing five original tunes (good on them for not just flooding everyone with reMix after reMix, just to get their name around!) for us to sink out teeth into and get to grips with just who Legan And Met are. SynthWave with an Electro beat could sum them up, but that would be doing the twosome a disservice, their tracks are much more intricate and varied than that. they create epic, synthesizer soundscapes that are both emotionally melodic and Sci-Fi insane, with Cosmic Disco grooves for people in shiny jumpsuits. The songs on the ‘Future Odyssey’ EP are constantly evolving and building from start to finish, so the finale of each tune is a rousing electronic set-peice. Serious retro-future stuff.

♫ Legan And Met – Voltage Controlled

♫ Legan And Met – Only Your Love Creates My Momentum

Binalog Frequency’s new track

Binalog Frequency

Some dark future sounds and frantic B-Boy beats right now from Binalog Frequency.

His new tune, ‘Neon Funk’ is a rapid fire slice of Sci-Fi Electro. Old School beats underpin ever evolving and intertwining arpeggios and lush pads. A meticulously programmed and produced track who’s robotic rhythms and Vangelis atmosphere also makes me think of early Warp Records stuff, Bleep House, but with more IDM style beats. great stuff!

Futurecop! The Movie

Futurecop!

Futurecop! said they had something pretty special in the pipeline, and they weren’t kidding.

This coming January the duo, one of the UK’s finest ElectroPop acts, teams up with the Keiz Beats label to release the soundtrack to the movie in their heads. Unfortunately the actual movie doesn’t exist, but the soundtrack will more that keep us happy. This will be Futurecop!’s first worldwide album release (2010’s amazing ‘It’s Forever, Kids’ was a Japan only release) and sees the guys bring a more epic take to some of their tunes. A mixture of uplifted versions of tracks you know & love and brand new tunes the album promises to be the Futurecop! record we’ve all been waiting for. check out the robo-Disco Funk of ‘Northern Lights’ and a new, soaring, version of ‘Transformers’ for a taste of what’s to come, and check out our Google+ post to see the trailer for ‘Futurecop! The Movie’.

Follow Me

follow me

You may remember the mysterious Follow Me from our round up of the best entries in Fear Of Tigers ‘Pippi Longstrump’ reMix competition.

Continuing to impress us they have just dropped a new track, ‘Fight Or Flight’, and it just shows why they are definitely one to watch in 2012. ‘Fight Or Flight’ is a slick as anything slick of SynthWave with a Sci-Fi sheen. The layers of intricate melodies weaving in and out of each other make the track seem full and rich and like there’s always some kind of synthesizer wizardry going on. Combine that with a solid ‘80’s bassline and you have the recipe for perfect retro synth awesomeness.

A new old track from Mitch Murder

mitch murder

An old track with a new twist now from Mitch Murder.

He must be riding high on the success of his new album, ‘Current Events’, (and well deserved too) ‘cos he’s given fans an early X-Mas present in the form of a remastered version of the opening track from his 2009 EP ‘After Hours’, ‘After Hours Run’. You probably know the track by now, pure Murder, epic dancefloor soundtrack SynthWave with that Mitch Murder quality of being able to speak to you, emotionally. With this new remaster the tune is founding fresher than ever.

Popular Computer’s new single

Popular Computer

Out this week is Popular Computer new record, ‘Lointain’.

We’ve been waiting for the release for a while now and it’s a stormer. Parisian Sylvain Dalido get’s into a synthetic Disco state of mind with a laid back electronic sound packed with vintage synths and Disco licks. On the reMix is a whole bunch of our favourite producers. Australian Dreamwave master Muffin, who has been away far too long, drops a delicious retro beach party of a tune, mixing up the Disco and the ‘80’s, which just highlight why we need to hear more from this man. Pharao Black Magic get their analog Disco groove on with a deep bass driven slice of slo-mo electronic Funk. Robotaki’s contribution is a wonderful mix of everything good in Nu-Disco and SynthWave with a strong Moog Funk rhythm section, twisting lead lines and shimmering retro chords fit of a perfect sunset.

Something extra from Mitch Murder

mitch-murder

I’m going to presume you have already bought Mitch Murder’s new album, ‘Current Events’, one of the albums of the year? If not, you should. if you have, here is something a little extra from the man.

‘Last Call’ is pure ‘80’s soulful ElectroPop. Deep sounds and the hint of synthesised electric guitar just bring to mind Jan Hammer’s moodier Miami Vice moments. With a bass sound that reminds me of Trevor Jones’ ‘Labyrinth’ soundtrack, the Florida licks and some sax moods coming into the finale there are so many movie moments I can see this track working in. From the hero brooding in the calm before the storm to the spotlight prom dance in a teen flick, this tune has just the right vibe.

Miami Nights 1984 reMixes Gotye

gotye

One of our favourite SynthWave geniuses Miami Nights 1984, has dropped an awesome smooth mix of Gotye and Kimbra’s ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’.

Mike Glover A.K.A. MN84 makes the track sounds like proper ‘80’s ElectroPop hit. After a pretty special radio tuning intro. MN84 turns the song into a slow building drive of bouncy FM basslines and lush synth chords. Giving the track that slightly distant retro feel and working the big cinematic synths to great effect, Miami Nights 1984 brings together a top ElectroPop tune here.
