As the weather is slowly getting better French Nu-Disco guy Oxford has just dropped the perfect tune for seeing in these warmer days.
‘Mirage ‘84’ is a nostalgic, laid back, good times slice of French Disco. Build around a slick little guitar lick and some massive retro synths, the track is another blindingly good peice of work from the producer from Toulouse. ‘Mirage ‘84’ is pure synthesized sunshine.

Rapidly becoming one of our favourite producers, the New Jersey based TEEEL cements his reputation even more by reMixing the awesome New Wave outfit Selebrities.
Taking ‘Forgotten’, Selebrities swirling mixture of Shoegaze and ElectroPop, TEEEL pulls back on the guitars and drops a huge electronic beat and layers of thick, lush synths. The track actually retains the same mood, the same dreamlike groove, but the added synths give it that cosmic edge and the variation in the drum pattern shake up the track.

Here’s a sweeping new tune from Finnish SynthWave producer Flash Arnold.
‘Back Then’ mixes things up a bit. Flash Arnold drops quite a few elements into the mix. From the Italo bassline, to the Jan Hammer-esque keys and the soaring SynthWave solo, the man puts together a rich, emotive track with an impulsive energy and a lead line full of contemplation. ‘Back Then’ conjures the best of hammers Miami Vice work and gives it a dancefloor kick in the arse. Oh, and woodblocks!

MNDR’s ‘#1 In Heaven’ is one of my favourite tracks of the year so far. It’s raw, catchy and in-your-face ElectroPop, so it’s definitely a good thing that they entrusted it to someone with such a track records as deep ‘90’s Housemeisters Azari & III.
Azari & III’s reMix an epic building, hypnotic track full a massive dose of Beep House (probably my favourite (defunct) House genre). it’s chock full of rattling 909 hats, square basses, resonant synths and a moody, intoxicating atmosphere that would have killed in late ‘80’s warehouse parties. Totally different from the original, Azari & III have made a powerful complimentary track.

Covering something from Daft Punk’s legendary, and frankly untouchable, ‘Discovery album? That’s a pretty brave act. Let’s see how Australian Dreamwavey Indie-Electro outfit Cadillac tackle this huge, and dangerous feat.
‘Too Long’ is one of the most vocal tracks Daft Puck have ever done, so it’s probably the best choice for a band to cover and Cadillac do an admirable job. Produced as part of Le Coq Sportif and Future Classic’s series of Australian covers of classic French tracks, the cover is a chilled out Tropical take o the track. Cadillac haven’t tried to reproduce the laid back French Disco House of the original but rather gone down a new beach vibe route, probably a good idea.

Futurecop! mare back in the mix with this, their version of Foster The People’s ‘Don’t Stop (Color The Walls)’.
The first thing you notice about the track is the rapid fire Italo, almost EBM, bassline. A first for Futurecop!, but gives the track a driving energy. This soon gives way to a big, dirty Electro chorus full of chainsaw synths. The Birmingham SynthWave duo have given the track a euphoric dancefloor working over that builds and builds with layers of growling electronic until the tension breaks and the good times roll.

Well, the big news of the last 24 hours is Van She are back. Did you hear that?, muthafuckin’ Van She are back!
Modular Recordings have dropped the first, title and lead track from their forthcoming new album, ‘Idea Of Happiness’. So what’s it like? It’s an unexpected beast. The track is classic Van She. Anthemic, rousing Indie-Electro, where the unexpected comes into play is with the big Mason-esque Electro-House synths which, I’ll be hones, take a little getting used to. But the more you listen to it the more they start to work perfectly with the tune. This track is going to kill at festivals this summer.

In January we posted about some brand new, and long awaited, material from Rimer London‘s Lé Lé. The track was ‘Neen’, an insanely catchy track despite being in Dutch.
Now Lé Lé have dropped the track in English, now translated to ‘No’, in preparation for the release of their third album ‘Party Time’. This new version is every bit as infection, the bass every bit as bouncy, the melody every bit as hypnotic, only this time us poor English speakers can sing along with it to. Rimmer London is one of out favourite producers, his analog Disco works so well with MC Faberyayo droll rhymes and addictive choruses. While you’re here check out their tongue-in-cheek cover of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You’. Whitney never sounded so robotic.

Capital Cities are back with summer good time summer grooves for the approaching good weather.
The LA duo’s Dreamwave leaning blend of Indie-Electro not comes complete with a brass section with only adds to the laid back, no-cares-in-the-world, party vibe. ‘Kangaroo Court’ is four minutes of pure sunshine gold. The synths are playful, the vocals quietly anthemic mic, and the horns are just a wave for the listener to ride. We’ve not had much in the way of Indie-Electro classics this year, hopefully this monster from Capital Cities is just the beginning.

‘Kangaroo Court’ is released this week on Lazy Hooks.

Brooklyn DreamyChillyPoppyWave producer Teen Daze is about to embark on his European tour and for the occasion has produced a very limited edition tour EP, that will be sold only at the forthcoming gigs.
Here’s the first track from the EP, ‘Fantasy’, that sees Teen Daze take us on a Lo-Fi blissed-out sunrise journey. Chilled, even for Teen Daze, ‘Fantasy’ rides a wave of lush synths and intricate percussion that layer upon each other to create a wall of beautiful electronic noise. ‘Fantasy’ is a smooth, atmospheric masterpiece for those quite times in the sun.
