Burns: Fire In The Disko

burns1

‘Huge’ is the best way to describe ‘Disko’, the début single from London producer Burns.

Not without reason did Annie Mac name him as ‘one to watch in 2009’, Burns music is obviously influenced by Ed Banger Records and French House but pulls it in a UK party direction. ‘Disko’ is a Disco killer!

‘Disko’ is out soon on Breastfed. Until then check out the reMixes Burns has done for Empire Of The Sun and Late Of The Pier. The man has a knack for basslines!

Robyn rocks with Røyksopp

robyn

Well, if I was looking forward to the new Røyksopp album, Junior, before, I am seriously exited about it now I’ve heard ‘The Girl And The Robot’ featuring, Modular signed, Swedish ElectroPop nutcase Robyn.

Possibly the most Pop track have ever done, certainly since ‘Remind Me’, I could really see this being a single. There’s not much to say except that this song is brilliant!

Check out this radio rip (complete with Norwegian DJ!):

♫ Røyksopp (Feat. Robyn) – The Girl And The Robot (Radio Rip) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Gotta’ be in the running for one of the tunes of the year.

Robyn is just one af many names associated with the album. Other contributions are rumoured to be coming from the likes of Lykke Li and The Knife.

‘Junior’ is out on March 23rd on Wall Of Sound.

Metronomy cover The Cure (+ Lady Sovereign)

metronomy

This weeks copy of NME, the big NME Shockwaves Awards 2009 issue, come with a free CD featuring some of the leading lights of today’s indie scene covering tracks by The Cure (who received the “God-like Genius” award)

The CD includes this cover of ‘Fascination Street’ by UK ElectroPoppers Metronomy, which is kinda’ odd:

♫ Metronomy – Fascination Street (The Cure Cover) (zShare) (MediaFire)

While we’re on the subject of The Cure covers I have to lay this on you.

♫ Lady Sovereign – So Human (Original Version) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Lady Sovereign‘s next single is ‘So Human’ and completely riffs off The Cure’s ‘Close To Me’. I would say around 99% of The Cure fans I know will be vomiting blood upon hearing this track, but I kinda’ like it!

Curses! Holy Ghost!

curses1

Institubes are taking over! And it looks like their method will be mind control!

Exhibit A: This track, ‘The Deep End’, the new one from Curses! (better known as Drop The Lime) as reMixed by Holy Ghost!.

It’s an eight minute Disco odyssey that worms it way into your brain. When you start listening to it you’re thinking “yeah, it’s got a good groove”…by the end, IT’S YOUR WHOLE LIFE!

The infections bassline hypnotizes you into submission and then, around 6:50 minutes in, it drops the synth shredding on you.

Epic Electro-House from Deluce

deluce

Deluce is the next new, young, Electro-House producer from France in the line.

He creates spacy, 80’s influenced, Electro journeys that owe as much to Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis as to Danger or Kavinsky.

Wrap you ears ’round these two tracks he has dropped…

♫ Deluce – The Movement (zSahre) (MediaFire)

♫ Deluce – Lead The Galaxy (zShare) (MediaFire)

…and go give him some MySpace lovin’:

Marina And The Diamonds

marinaandthediamonds So…everyone’s talking about Marina And The Diamonds, I gotta say at first I was pretty resistant but the more I listen the more it appeals to the part of me that loves Tori Amos, at least on this track, ‘Obsessions’ she does, elsewhere the tracks are more upbeat and new wave influenced.

♫ Marina And The Diamonds – Obessions (zShare) (MediaFire)

But it’s the reMixes that really shine. Here Pinkstallone deliver a cool, 80’s sounding, laid back Italo reMix with a rolling synth bass groove and The Aspirins For My Children up the Electro-ante with their interpretation.
