Here’s the video for ‘Who’s Gonna Love Me’, the new single from Swedish ElectroPop artist Soso.

Here is it! The full video for Sébastien Tellier long, long awaited new single ‘Pépito Bleu’, taken from his also long, long awaited forthcoming album ‘My God Is Blue’.
The track is pure Tellier SynthPop quirk and drama. Majestic and ridiculous and amazing. As for the Sanghon Kim & Mathieu Tonetti directed vide, well, just watch…
‘My God Is Blue’ is out soon on Record Makers.

Kicking off with one of my all time favourite tracks Hashim’s ‘Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)’ from 1983. Often imitated, never bested. Such an influence.
Wish Key’s ‘Orient Express’ also from 1983. Italo, ElectroPop, Euro gold.
From 1981, Depeche Mode’s ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’. The track that started it all. No matter how many adverts you’ve heard it in the original is still awesome.

Here’s the long awaited video for Austra’s ‘Spellwork’.
I’m sure there’s probably something coherent going on in this Yelena Yemchuk directed clip, I think It’ll take a couple more watches to get though.

I suppose if there was any of New York’s original ElectroPunks Suicide’s back catalogue that international Lounge SynthPopsters Lola Dutronic could cover it would be ‘Keep Your Dreams’.
LD’s version is a floaty Parisian Pop that sounds classy as always.
‘Keep Your Dreams’ is taken from the ‘New York Stories’ EP, out now.

You’ll have notice that there hasn’t been a Goin’ Old School for a few days, that’s ‘cos it’s going to be a weekly column now. Some weeks there will be loads of vids, some weeks there will be just the one, depends how we’re feeling…
The Minimal Synth crowd are crazy for Eleven Pond’s 1986 hit ‘Watching Trees’, they’re pretty Italo though
A Guy Called Gerald’s ‘Voodoo Ray’, one of the greatest dance records ever made. 1989.
John Parr‘s ‘Two Hearts’ from 1986. The one that isn’t from St. Elmo’s Fire. Check the awesome keytar solo!

Fresh from some major successes at the electronic rumors Awards and in advance of her appearance on ‘electronic rumors Volume 1’, here is Vanbot’s brand new video for ‘Numb’.
Ester’s infection ElectroPop is nicely framed by the contrast between her being made up and the creation of the portrait that is her album cover.
Vanbot’s album, and reMix EP, are out now.

There we a lot of cool videos that premièred in 2011, but we fell in love with this year’s Best Video winner instantly, and so did everyone we showed it too.
Com Truise’s ‘Brokendate’ is a brooding slice of SynthWave that’s manages to be both robotic and soulful and it’s retro synth sound is perfectly matched by it’s Will Joines directed mini-movie accompaniment. Paying homage to every classic ‘80’s Dystopian Sci-Fi movie you can think of, the clip captures a Cyberpunk vibe effortlessly but keeps it’s tongue firmly in it’s cheek. It’s a video that makes us nostalgic for weekend VHS rentals.
