The Sound Of Arrows reMixed by Chad Valley

As featured in Edwin Van Cleef’s recent mix, here is Chad Valley’s reMix of The Sound Of Arrows’ new single, ‘M.A.G.I.C.’.

The track is pretty magical (no pun intended) as it is, but Chad Valley makes the song appear otherworldly with subtle vocal manipulation, reverb washed melodies and a deep, resonant, early 90’s House bassline. A complete departure from the uplifting EuroPop of the original, Chad’s reMix a soothing, hypnotic experience and a perfect compliment to both the single version and the video.

Washed Out – Amor Fati

Here is another beautiful new teaser from Washed Out’s forthcoming Sub Pop LP ‘Within And Without’

‘Amor Fati’ is an immense dreamy anthem. Focused Chillwave abounds here with an upbeat groove and tight echoes. Less floaty and ethereal than it’s contemporaries ‘Amor Fait’ draws heavily on 80’s Pop and Shoegaze and Washed Out uses those influences to create a Chillwave style structured Pop song. More like this please!

Sub Pop released ‘Within And Without’ 12th July.

Southern Shores

Sit back, relax and fall in love with the music of Southern Shores.

The latest signing to the amazing Cascine, Southern Shores are about to release their début EP, ‘Atlantic’, a collection of six dreamy chilled ElectroPop tunes. Not really reverb drenched wall-of-sound enough to truly be Chillwave but the ‘Atlantic’ EP retains a Chillwave vibe while rooting the music in the late 80’s/early 90’s eclectic Pop sound that is fast becoming Cascine’s trademark. Throughout the EP the vast array of instrumentation and vocal styles pepper each track with a signature sound of it’s own while all six tunes blend into one tropical, escapist fantasy EP. The first single from the EP, ‘Night Is Young’ is the kind of track you’d hear in a House club in your dreams. Intricately crafted, layers of samples roll over one another washing and through a solid backing. Now summer is truly here, Souther Shores arrived just in time.

♫ Southern Shores – Night Is Young

The ‘Atlantic’ EP is out 12th July.

Bon Accord’s new EP

Bon Accord is Michael Wright, a Hackney based producer of spacey DreamPop, he’s just released a new EP, for free!

With the ‘True Delusion’ EP Michael effortlessly walks the line between BedroomPop and Chillwave, and makes it his own by sprinkling it with snatches of UK and 90’s House.

Cosmonaut Grechko’s new EP

Cosmonaut Grechko’s new EP, ‘Alaska 2100’ is out this week and is a pretty stunning electronic masterpiece.

Grechko hits the ground running with track one, ‘Singin’’, with Joywave, it’s the prefect meeting of Dreamwave and Indie-Electro, like a spaced-out-Disco Passion Pit. It’s catchy but still maintains a summery mellow groove. ‘All I Hear’ is up next with some help from She’s The Queen (I’m writing about She’s The Queen on a day other than Thursday, feels weird) that tasks Emily’s vocals out of the normal DancePop environment and slides them into some laid back, almost Chillwave, reverb washed Disco. As with ‘Singin’’, ‘All I hear’ is incredibly listenable, Grechko’s organ riffs intertwining with the big retro synths to create an intricate, yet effortlessly cool, jam. ‘Coloreye’ and the title track are both more tradition Disco fare, both mellow and upbeat, that show Grechko still has the skills to flat out rock the dancefloor and they lead into a selection of reMixes including these two by Electronic Rumors faves Show Your Shoe and Blue Satellite. Show Your Shoe takes on ‘All I Hear’ and proves why he’s the man to watch when it comes to smooth Electro-Funk cuts with some crazy Moog action while Blue Satellite turns ‘Singin’ into a massive upbeat DiscoPop track.

The ‘Alaska 2100’ EP shows a real maturing of Cosmonaut Grechko, musically. An evolution of his music that will surely place him at the forefront of Indie-Electro and Nu-Disco.

Joypopp release début EP on Binary

Yesterday saw the release of Joypopp’s début EP, ‘Ecstatic’, on Binary Records.

It’s an EP bursting at the seems with four original tracks and three reMixes. We’ve already covered two of the original tunes on the EP, ‘Desire’ and ‘Volupté’, both of which really whet our appetite for more Joypopp. ‘Nostalgic’ and ‘Six To Six’ are more of the same top quality analog ElectroPop from the French duo. With their big Sci-Fi soundtrack synths and sweet female vocals, the Joypopp combination is defiantly a winner. ReMixes on the EP come courtesy of Night Drugs and these two from Girlfriend Records head honcho Sferro and Binary’s RoboPop™ main man Short Circuit. Sferro turns in a suitably retro slice of ElectroPop with a laidback groove, deep bass and awesome 80’s melodies. Short Curcuit’s reMix takes the track in the opposite direction, it’s a heavy mid-tempo club track that sees SC moving towed an almost Justice mix of rock riff-esq chainsaw synths and Disco drums.
