Parisian quirky ElectroPop outfit Château Marmont’s new single is Invisible Eye, an enigmatic, involving, SynthPop tune that’s not exactly dark, but somewhat eerie in a beautiful way.
Here’s the video, equally eerie, in a beautiful way, I’m sure you’d agree.

This is the brand new video for New York Indie-ElectroPopper St. Lucia’s ace new single Elevate. An insanely catchy slice of feel good ElectroPop.
The clip, directed by Norton, depicts Jean-Philip Grobler and his band throwing parties, jamming, hanging out on the street, nodding at their band friends, in a this-is-what-the-rest-of-the-world-thinks-life-in-Brooklyn-is-really-like way
Elevate is out now, St. Lucia’s début album When The Night is out 8th October via Neon Gold.

Sometime The Knife collaborator Planningtorock was invited to rework the duo’s track Full Of Fire, taken from their Shaking The Habitual album. Making the track truly her own, Planningtorock delivered Let’s Talk About Gender Baby, Let’s Talk About You And Me, complete with funky as anything bassline.
Check out the video for the track, created again by Planningtorock. Abstract shapes and colours ahoy!

Here’s the video for Black Yaya’s Funk Pop jam, Paint A Smile On Me, the latest release on Yuksek’s Partyfine label.

The long awaited first (and only?) actual video from Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories has premièred. Accompanying the duo’s latest single Lose Yourself To Dance, featruing Nile Rodgers and Pharell, is probably the only visuals for the album we’ll get.
It’s a pretty standard performance clip, albeit an incredible shiny one, with Nile and Daft Punk playing the Perspex instruments we’ve been teased for so long.
Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories is out now.

Here is the video for the reMix of the track Hold On by London ElectroPoppers Avec Sans, by Avec Sans themselves. We’ve already written about the track, the video and the reMix, there’s not much left to do but sit back and enjoy.
It’s a re-cut of the original version’s video, which makes sense in a way. Sing J Lee still at the visual helm.
Avec Sans’ Hold On is our now featuring reMixes from Avec Sans and VS//YOUTHCLUB.

This is the video for ElectroPop rabble rousers Icona Pop’s presumable soon-to-be smash hit All Night, that’ll be more shouty, chaotic, thumping Pop music then.
Dori Oskowitz directs the clip, which is 30% celebration of New York’s ballroom scene, 70% product placement. But, hey, we’ve all got to earn a living.
This duo’s début album, to be titled This Is… with drop in September.

Our good friend and top SynthWaver Arcade High is not only one of the most original retro-synth producers around, he’s also a talented filmmaker. Currently in his final year at film school, Ryan is attempting to put together a short movie, written and directed by himself and highly influenced by the 80s flicks he loves. The film is called Rage, about a man who returns from the dead and embarks on a bloody quest to rescue his girlfriend. The film will expand upon a blood soaked test scene filmed earlier this year. Check it out.
So, here’s where things get really interesting, not only are the looking to fans and enthusiasts to fund the movie over on IndieGoGo for special perks, but they are also already selling the soundtrack.
