It’s the best Ladyhawke’s best video since Dusk ‘Till Dawn and sees Pip on a good old fashioned psychedelic walkabout, directed by Jess Holzworth.
Blue Eyes is taken from Ladyhawke’s new album Anxiety, out now.

It’s a meeting of La Bombe heavyweights! While your waiting for Turkish producer Surrender!’s self-titled début album (and you probably are after reading out interview with the man here) keep the faith with this reMix from London’s noisiest funkster Blende. You just know this is going to be in -your-face Disco.
And true to form Blende taken on the French at their own game. His reMix of S*M*A*S*H rides high on the combination of digital slap bass, piercing synths and acerbic production. The result is kind of like running Les Rythmes Digitales through a distortion pedal with a touch of Justice (when Justice are being funky, not wanky). It’s a track that would easily be at home of Ed Banger, but La Bombe is probably a much finer place for it to reside. Inducing just as much of a stom as it does a boogie, Blende’s reMix is ripe for peak time dropping, just watch the floor explode!

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:

The the mighty Pop Will Eat Itself’s Def Con One from 1988.

Here’s the latest slice of synthesizer love from Germany’s Final DJs. Released today as part of So French Records new compilation Summer Time Vol. 2, this new tune sees Final DJs, after a funky few tunes, return to the epic SynthWave that first caught our eye.
Synthopia is a choice name for a track that wraps you up in warm layers of rich synths. With a laid back atmosphere this tune introduces you to wave after wave of nostalgic, retro synth sounds. Filtered for perfection, Final DJs play with multiple melodies that dance around each other and create a magical musical place. An electric heaven that naturally draws you in. Those Final DJs 80’s beats and chords have never sounded so good.

CHEW LiPS’ new single, Hurricane, get’s the video treatment. The best of the new CHEW LiPS material so far deserved a clip. And it got one. That’s justice for you.
Set against some nice urban decay, the video the band mucking about it a warehouse, showing off what they do best. Perform.
Hurricane is released 3rd September

Here’s the third track Eleven:Eleven’s Through The Veil, their slow release album that’s trickling out one track at a time. It’s a pretty unique way to release an album, and it’s a pretty cleaver approach as it keeps the listener coming back for more. Actually, it’s a bit lit musical drug dealing, just give them a taste at a time and they’ll be coming back for more! So here’s track three. After Little White Lies and No Words comes Mesmerize.
Mesmerize has got a bit of everything going for it. A bit of an EBM bassline, that soon goes all Italo, a solid DiscoPop beat, some nice retro percussion and Sicca’s haunting vocal flowing over the track like water. That this Austin based duo have crafted a track that manages to straddle the line between dancey and ethereal is testament to their songwriting and production ability. Mesmerize is a track that worms it;s way into your brain with it’s ElectroPop charms, and once it’s in there, it’s hard to shake.
‘Through the Veil’ is being released right now, keep an eye on Eleven:Eleven’s SoundCloud for updates and pick up the tracks from their official website.

Here is a couple of the latest tracks from American SynthWave producer Magic Sword as an introduction to the man. He hails from Boise, the only thing I know about Boise is that where Hewlett Packard is based, I know this because I worked (a long time ago) for Hewlett Packard in the UK and everyone was always harping on about Boise. So let’s see what else Boise has to offer.
Magic Sword makes quite fantastical, 80s influenced, instrumental electronic music. With signature waves of arpeggios and ringing melodies he transports the listener to an otherwordly place. The first of his new tunes, A New Hope, is a mid paced synthetic lullaby. Warm and inviting but with a slight chill coming from some icy synth work. Also released recently is Discover, which shows Magic Swords more upbeat, Italo side. Moodier than A New Hope, Discover brings out some dark Moroder styling and big retro stabs in a track that plays an oppressive mood against bright optimistic chords for a feeling of triumph over adversity. And what 80’s soundtrack is worth it’s salt without a good old triumph over adversity tune?

According to San City Records this is the official video for Kissy Sell Out’s Queen Of Hearts featuring You’re Not The One. There’s so much wrong with that.
1. The video is only 2m30s, with is shorter even than the radio rip we posted a while back. 2. Queen Of Hearts isn’t in it, which is a shame as she is infinitely easier on the eye than Mr. Sell Out as well as having an enigmatic video presence. 3. Mr. Sell Out is chatting over most of it, which makes it feel like self-congratulatory ego stroking rather than promoting a new tune, you barely get to hear the new record in the clip.
We hope that San City are a little optimistic when they say ‘official video’, and they pull their fingers out and make something proper, otherwise the words “dropped the ball” might be in order. It’s a really cool tune that deserves better promotion than this mess. The only reason we’re featuring it at all is because we highly recommend the track itself.
Despite the video saying ‘out now’, You’re Not The One is released 3rd September as the first of a series of EPs featuring Kissy collaborating with a host of fresh and established talent.

Saint Lou Lou’s much hyped track Maybe You will be getting a proper release soon. None other than Kitsuné Music picked it up for release and have loaded the single with reMixes from Miami Horror’s drummer Good Night Keaton, CFCF, Oxford, Le Crayon, Pyramid. Phew!
Maybe You is a dreamy track. Glowing ElectroPop and sparse acoustic guitar seem to float around the speakers while these two Sweeden based Australian twin sisters’ gentle vocals swirl around the track with a grace and epic emotionality that’s rare to come across in such a chilled tune. This is Dream Pop at it;s finest, and I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s going to lend itself amazingly to some big reMixes, we heard the package and it really does!
♫ Saint Lou Lou – Maybe You
Saint Lou Lou ‘s Maybe You is released 27th August.
