Cosmonaut Grechko’s ‘Youmi’

cosmonautgrechko

Ooo, a little bit of newness from the man Cosmonaut Grechko. He’s been somewhat quiet of late but if this new track is anything to go by that time has been well spent.

‘Youmi’ is a surprisingly blissful and euphoric slice of Dreamwave wit a bit of an early-nineties-watching-a-sunrise-in-a-field-with-Orbital-playing vibe to it and not nearly as Disco as his previous works. This is more of an atmospheric electronic side to Grechko, and the atmosphere is one of optimism and good times. A feel good tack for the summer.

Douglas McCarthy’s new single

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.

Human Life’s ‘Don’t Fade Away’ with Shook & Kartell

humanlife

Fresh from their team-up with Pelifics on ‘Can’t Promise Anything’ this week California based ElectroPop act Human Life release their new single on Vulture Music.

‘Don’t Fade Away’ is what Human Life do best. Summery, catchy ElectroPop with a feel good factor and a slight edge. Driven by piercing synths and call-and-response male & female vocals, ‘Don’t Fade Away’ is a pretty simple, stripped down version of SynthPop, but the simplicity really works and and allows the song to breathe. The consistently amazing Shook contributes a reMix to the single, brining his highly technical Nu-Disco to the table, creating a smooth jam that changes the mood of the vocals into something more relaxed and let’s Shooks musical talent shine. Kartell also chooses to drop a chilled groove,. There’s more of a beach vibe to this one, it’s ‘Don’t Fade Away’ tropical style.

♫ Human Life – Don’t Fade Away

♫ Human Life – Don’t Fade Away (Shook reMix)

♫ Human Life – Don’t Fade Away (Kartell reMix)

‘Don’t Fade Away’ is out now.

Adeyhawke’s new tune

FULL_02

Adeyhawke is back with a brand new track and this time he’s mixing up the SynthWave with some funkin’ Nu-Disco and some slick Yacht-like melodies.

‘Lords’ is almost mind-blowing in it’s complex layers of basses and leads. Twisting basslines and intricate melodies dodge and weave in and out of each other, cut-up and infused with the strongest medical grade Funk around. Keeping his trademark retro feel, the track is loaded with ‘80’s sounds’ Adeyhawke give ‘Lords’ a Disco injection that commands the listener to move. You just can’t help it.

Dragonette’s new single

Dragonette

Duck and cover, Dragonette are back. The first bomb to drop from their new album, ‘Let It Go’ is the first single and title track. Power ElectroPop incoming!

‘Let It Go’ is full-on, in-your-face, ElectroPop awesomeness. Upbeat and fun, with a bouncy groove, the new single is the Canadian’s on top form. As with most of their recent tracks, this is total synthesizer assault. A hint of Dreamwave gives ‘Let It Go’ a nice summery feel over is pure anthemic Pop. Big synths, big beats, big sing-along-lyrics and probably headed for doing big things in the charts.
