Some of the best news we’ve had this week is the return of London ElectroPoppers Scarlet Soho.
Here’s the video for their forthcoming new single ‘When the Lights Go Out’, directed by Steve Hogg. It’s a really catchy comeback for the four peice. They have been missed.
‘When The Lights Go Out’ is released 21st May, you can pre-order here.
The video for, Madonna Of The Midlands™, Ronika’s awesome ‘Automatic’ is here.
To be honest, it’s pretty unbelievable just what you can do with CGI these days, the shots of Ron amidst the waves are so photo realistic you can smell the brine. Did I mention there was surfing? Most importantly though there is an inverted keys Korg Poly 800, or maybe that’s CGI too, ’cos it’s pretty rare. Anyhoo, loving Ron’s DIY vids, I hope even when she has a major label budget she still makes clips like this. Oh and Sam Potter from Late Of The Pier and John Sampson from Swimming all got involved.
You can pre-order the pay-what-you-want ‘Automatic’ EP here.
Ronika also appears on ‘electronic rumors Volume 1′, out now!
So, if you’re at all into the history of electronic or Dance music Douglas J. McCarthy, one half of the legendary Nitzer Ebb, should need no introduction. After decades of band work and collaborations he’s finally got around to releasing some solo material, the first being this single ‘Hey’.
Robin Nixon directs this clip, sombre to match the mood of the track which features McCarthy’s instantly recognizable vocals crooning over some deep, hypnotic Tech House.
‘Hey’ is out 9th April with the album ‘Life Is Sucking The Life Out Of Me’ on the 30th.
Fridge Magnets are a Glaswegian/Aberdonian Indie-Electro outfit who have just won best Electronic act at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards and are now setting their sights south of the wall.
Check out the video for their single ‘Death Of Rock ‘N’ Roll’ for a taste of what to expect in their big, anthemic, epic ElectroPop. It’s pretty rousing stuff with ballsy impassioned vocals and a nice mix of infections melodies and chainsaw synths.
If your in London this months you can check out Fridge Magnets on 18th April at Notting Hill Arts Club and 21st April at The Nest in Dalston.
Our favourite Serbian purveyor of all things big and Housey SevdahBABY is back with Djixx for his new single, ‘Izvini Dušo Izvini’.
‘Izvini Dušo Izvini’ finds the duo in a summery mood with a sure-fire hit for the warmer months and a video that sees Djixx go through more wardrobe changes that a Madonna show.
