JBAG’s ‘X-Ray Sex’

January finally sees the release of Kitsuné DJs extraordinaire JBAG’s début artist single.

After numerous awesome reMixes and two essential mix albums (‘Kitsuné BoomBox’ and ‘Kituné X Ponystep’) the duo of Jerry Bouthier and Andrea Gorgerino have teamed up with ex-Ping Pong Bitches frontwoman Louise Prey on ‘X-Ray Sex’.

First heard on the Kitsuné X Ponystep’ compilation, ‘X-ray Sex’ is a pretty stunning début, these two have cranked out some amazing reMixes and edits in the past few years and you can see how things were heading in this direction. Equal parts ElectroPop and House with a nice 80’s flavour (particularly in the bassline), it’s defiantly got a London vibe to it as well. For something a little heavier check the Jolie Cherie reMix which sounds like a mash-up between early 90’s House and some killer Electro bass!

♫ JBAG (Feat. Louise Prey) – X-Ray Sex

♫ JBAG (Feat. Louise Prey) – X-Ray Sex (Jolie Cherie reMix)

‘X-Ray Sex’ is out in January.

Chromeo Vs. Duck Sauce – Brother Vs. Brother

It’s still a few weeks to the release of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’ single and their massive duet version of the track featuring with Elly Jackson from La Roux but the reMixes have already started coming in.

Funkin’ things up are Duck Sauce, who I’m sure you’re aware are Armand Van Helden and Chromeo’s Dave’s Brother and reMixer/DJ supreme A-Track. Their reMix is exactly the kind of big room House track we’d expect from these two. Expect to hear this version in the clubs very soon!

♫ Chromeo (Feat. Elly Jackson From La Roux) – Hot Mess (Duck Sauce reMix)

The ‘Hot Mess’ single is out 17th January and along with the original and the new duet features reMixes from the likes of Duck Sauce and Tiga.

Icona Pop

Swedish Electro girls Icona Pop are giving their new single away for free!

First appearing on Kitsuné’s ‘Maison 10’ album with ‘Manners’ the duo’s new single ‘Still Don’t Know’ is a slice of noisy, post-The Ting Tings, ElectroPop. The heavy live drums and vintage synth sounds give the track a garage SynthPop feel with some raucous vocals tograb your attention. I can see Icona Pop getting pretty big next summer.

We shall see…

Ali Love’s ‘Moscow Girl’ video

Just ‘cos we’re in a video mood and it’s quite wintery here’s the video for Ali Love’s forthcoming single ‘Moscow Girl’

Directed by Camille Benett and Joe Spray the video is Ice Sakting-tastic, not quite what I expected for the DiscoPop tune, but fitting nonetheless.

‘Moscow Girl’ is out 17th January on Back Yard Recordings.

Error: Operator covers ‘Enjoy The Silence’

Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy The Silence’ is probably one of the most covered tracks in the world, so it’s nice when someone brings something new to the track.

ElectronicaPop artist Error: Operator has teamed up with Harry Lee of recent Kitsuné signing Waylayers to produce this chilled, rolling cover version that captures the emotion of the track but presents it in an almost electro-acoustic new form. Error: Operator brings his intricate programming which makes for a constantly interesting backing for Lee’s rendition.

♫ Error- Operator (Feat. Harry Lee) – Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode Cover)

Head on over to Error: Operator’s Facebook page to pick up the high quality version of the track for free!

Danger Vs. Nero

We’ve already bigged-up Nero’s new video game Dubstep tune ‘Me & You’. It’s a track we’re really digging. Just to add to out love of the tune 8-bit Electro-House guru Danger has dropped his reMix of the track.

Danger creates a hybrid of his console Electro and the original’s 80’s action movie theme epicness dropping ElectroPop riffs over the track’s power chords to awesome effect. It’s been a while since we heard anything from Danger, let’s hope this is remedied soon with an EP in the works.

♫ Nero (Feat. Alana) – Me & You (Danger reMix)

Nero release ‘Me And You’ on 3rd January on MTA.

HURTS reMix The Drums

Here we have the brand new reMix of The Drums’ ‘Down By The Water’ by none other than UK SynthPop heroes HURTS.

HURTS bring their, now trademark, bombastic, melancholy ElectroPop to the Indie crew’s track.

Is it just me or does this sound more than a little like HURTS’ ‘Illuminated’?

♫ The Drums – Down By The Water (HURTS reMix)

‘Down By The Water’ is taken from The Drums’ self-titled début album.

Erasure’s new ‘ A Little Respect’ video

Right, so we told you about Erasure new version of ‘A Little Respect’ earlier this week, but the streaming track was a no go and I didn’t even want to ask for permission to offer the track as a download ‘cos, y’know, its a charity record. A song and a cause that deserve some of your hard earned.

Anyway, you can listen to it now, and, indeed, watch it courtesy of the just released promo clip.

Interestingly, this new ‘HMI Redux’ was mixed by none other than Kap10Kurt!
