What better on a Sunday afternoon than some straight-up, no-bullshit Electro?
Shadow Dancer release their début album ‘Golden Traxe’ on 23rd February (22nd digital) and come courtesy of Electro factory BoysNoize Records.
‘Poke’, the first track on the album, is an addictive Electrofest.

Can’t wait until the 23rd? Check out Shadow Dancer’s singles below:
The, ever-wonderful, supreme overlords of alternative electronic pop music Ladytron return with the third single from the Vicarious Bliss produced album ‘Velocifero’.
‘Tomorrow’ is released on the 23rd February on Nettwerk, it wouldn’t have been my first choice for the next single but is a fine choice none the less.

ReMixes are provided by, amongst others, Jeuce.

I hope they play live again in London soon!
Picking up Ladytron’s back catalogue from one of the fine vendors below would be a smart move that would earn you the respect of your peers!
Tonight, I shall be mostly attending this:
@ Star Of Bethnal Green, 359 Bethnal Green Rd., London E2 6LG

Wow, it’s pretty rare that a Doctor Who rumour turns out to be true! Usually names and plot points are kicked around the Internet and then the production staff throw us a curve ball, as seen with the casting of the next Doctor, but the two main names filling forums and blogs, in the last few months, for the job of The Doctor’s next companion were Lily Allen and Michelle Ryan. It looks like the rumours were spot on this time!
Ex-Eastender Ryan should fit in well being no stranger to genre TV, having starred in Jekyll (written by Doctor Who’s next showrunner Stven Moffat), the short lived reboot of the Bionic Woman and recently as the antagonist in The BBC’s Merlin.
Starring as “the mysterious Lady Christina De Souza” in one of this years four specials doesn’t necessarily mean she couldn’t return as a permanent companion in the 2010 series (a leap that Cathrine Tate made).
So, the Oscar nominations are in.
Heath’s Joker for Best supporting Actor…”check”!
‘The Dark Knight’, ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Hellboy II’ getting nods in the special effects and make-up categories… a pleasantly surprising “check”!
No love for ‘The Dark Knight’ in best picture or best director categories…an disappointingly unsurprising “check”!
Best original song is an interesting one though:
WALL-E – ‘Down To Earth’ – Peter Gabriel & Thomas Newman
Slumdog Millionaire – ‘Jai Ho’ – A.R. Rahman
Slumdog Millionaire – ‘O Saya’ – A. R. Rahman & M.I.A.
That’s right, British/Sri-Lanken Electro MC M.I.A. being recognised by the Academy…nice!!! The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was also released on M.I.A.’s N.E.E.T. label.
The Oscars roll around 22nd February.

Yes…’Paper Planes’ is also on the soundtrack 😉 , ‘Paper Planes’ seems like so long ago!
♫ M.I.A. – Paper Planes (zShare) (MediaFire)
M.I.A. has already made it clear she wants to take your money, so you may as well comply.
As I may have mentioned, I do quite like female vocalists with quirky/interesting voices, so I can’t help but have a soft spot for Lykke Li, especially when the likes of Death To The Throne take one of her better tunes and morph it into an Electro-House stomper!

If you’re feeling whimsical, you could do worse than buying some Lykke Li to chill to.

Love It! 😉
Hot Chip‘s finest cover version to date comes courtesy of War Child’s latest charity compilation ‘Heroes’.
It really does sound like Joy Division fed through a Hot Chip machine, every bit as driving and haunting as the original.
♫ Hot Chip – Transmission (Joy Division Cover) (zShare) (MediaFire)
Hot Chip appear on the album alongside the likes of Lily Allen, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Peaches, Scissor Sisters, Franz Ferdinand and TV On The Radio, amongst others.
‘Heroes’ is released on the 16th February.

Joe And Will Ask? will finally received the Kitsuné Music seal of approval when their track ‘Claymore’, originally off the ‘Hell Hawk’ EP, gets released as a single by the French Electro label on the 26th January.
Man, it’s an Electro Banger.

Also, check the pounding bass of their Mystery Jets reMix.

French Electro-House loon Danger has come up with a taster of his brand new reMix of Empire Of The Sun‘s ‘Walking On A Dream’.
♫ Empire Of The Sun – Walking On A Dream (Danger reMix (64kbps Preview)) (zShare) (MediaFire)
It’s only a short, 64kbps, sample but it’s sounding great and, more importantly, gives me an excuse to lay these gems from last year on you.
♫ Danger – 11H30 (zShare) (MediaFire)
I loved the ’09-14 2007′ 12″, that ’11H30′ comes from, just loved it. A huge, noisy, Electro-House, Nu-Disco monster that threatened to steal Kavinsky‘s synth solo crown!
Danger does a good job on ‘Into The Galaxy’ one of my favourite Midnight Juggernauts songs too.

Coming up to pay-day? Blow it all on tunes!
