The Golden Filter’s Völuspà video

Check this video, which is kind of a promo for The Golden Filter’s amazing début album, ‘Völuspà’. The thing I love about The Golden Filter is that they are all conceptual and arty, as demonstrated by this video of looping beats, samples and some gorgeous visuals, yet their singles are Disco as fuck! And it all works!

‘Völuspà’ is out now!

M.I.A.’s ‘Born Free’ video

Just in case you haven’t already seen the controversial video for M.I.A.’s ‘Born Free’ that dropped yesterday.

You probably have though.

Directed by Roman Gavras (he who directed Justice’s equally controversial ‘Stress’ video) I’m sure it has a great sociological message, but passing commentary by replacing an oppressed minority with gingers is just funny.

In it’s defence it is stunningly well made, amazingly shot and stark at just the right beats. YouTube have already banned it and are pulling the videos as fast as they are uploaded, so watch it while it’s there!

It’s a cool song too, with more than a passing nod to Suicide’s ‘Ghost Rider’.

The Ghost’s ‘City Lights’

TheGhost

Residents of the Faroe Islands and recent Sunday Best signings The Ghost have been tipped as ‘one to watch’ by the NME for their unique mix of vintage ElectroPop and Indie.

Gearing up for the June release of their début album, ‘War Kids’, the duo are dropping their first UK single in May. ‘City Lights’ which is as anthemic as it is introspective. Amongst others the reMix duties are handled by none other than Mr. David E Sugar who presents a typically upbeat Electro-House mix with some pretty euphoric (in a good way) breakdowns. I’m also really digging The Deadstock 33s robo-Disco reMix, I could listen to that synth bass all day!

The Amplifetes

TheAmplifetes

The Amplifetes are a four piece from Sweden comprised of songwriters and producers who have worked with the likes of Grandmaster Flash, Peter Bjorn & John, Kelis and Madonna but only started jamming together in the past year.

Their sound seems to change from track to track but it’s generally got a raw garage Electro-Rock vibe. ‘It’s My Life’ is an full on Electro tune with quirky, ElectroPunky, overtones and would completely rock any Indie-Electro dancefloor. ‘Whizz Kid’ in comparison is more D.I.Y. Glam Electro-Rock with an absolutely killer reMix by Blende, who turns in a huge, retro synth laden, Nu-Disco epic.

Luxury Living

LuxuryLiving

Amongst their number is one half of the Pearl Flash DJ crew, London based trio Luxury Living have been featured on electronic rumors previously with their stellar reMix of Penguin Prison’s ‘Something I’m Not’.

Their original material really does not disappoint. We can’t help buy get exited about their unique take on bouncy Space-Disco-SynthPop. This music is analog arpeggio heaven. Of the two tracks here I think I prefer ‘Kimberly’, with it’s real Robo-Disco vibe, although ‘Everything Is Going To Be Amazing’ is probably going to be a commercial smash!

HURTS new single reMixed by Jamaica

HURTS03

Hmmm, I’m not sure how I feel about French ex-Poney Poney-ers Jamaica’s new reMix of the forthcoming HURTS single ‘Better Than Love’.

I love the song, it’s been on repeat here for a while, and I like the reMix a lot, I’m just not sure the two go together,

Musically the track is awesome, big 80’s Disco chords and digital slap bass with a syncopated chorus you can’t help buy move to. It’s just that at times it seems as though Jamaica haven’t quite got to grips with the vocal rhythms of the song, to the extent that the vocals feel as if they are slipping out of time. It’s just that one nagging feeling that stops a great tune being fantastic.

Still, the single is shaping up to be a monster reMix package with an absolutely flawless original.
