Young Digerati cover The Cramps

young-digerati1

Young Digerati have dropped their second Halloween cover version in the lead up to the weekend.

Next up it’s The Cramps ‘Goo Goo Muck’ falls prey to Young Digerati’s synth workover. This time around things are a little more Dreamwave that their cover of ‘Monster Mash’, maybe the covers are designed to be played at different times throughout the night and this is defiantly a track for one your Halloween part’s in full swing. I’m sure YD are having fun with these!

Embryonik’s new EP

Embryonik

This Friday sees the release of Embryonik’s new EP ‘Skyscraper on binalog productions.

Containing three three original tracks and five choice reMixes the EP is an evocative, synthetic, audio journey through a dark metropolis. Kicking off with ‘Watergun’, a track that bleeds Italo into B-Boy Electro, the listener is already presented with the soundtrack to rain soaked, neon lit, future streets. Like the dark cousin of Italo, ‘Watergun’ presents Vangelis-esque atmospheres with EBM basslines. The mood continues into ‘Elevator’, a track with a soaring melody that seems to tell a story set against machine beats. This track in particular contains some really sweet synthesizer flourishes.  ‘Burning Bridges’ ends the original tracks in a reflective future Disco style. ‘80’s Italo forms the backbone for strings and racing leads to lift you out of the concrete oppression. Whether or not it was intended, there is a definite narrative feel to the EP, a trilogy of tracks that take you by the hand through a post BladeRunner cityscape. The reMix package is worth the price alone, our friend Jordan F provides the standout mix of ‘Elevator’, a laid back, uplifting antidote to the original’s doom and gloom, maybe injecting a little romance into Embryonik’s gritty Sci-Fi flick.

Aminova

Aminova

We received quite an enigmatic email from producer Aminova, so we honestly don’t know much about him. But that’s fine, this is a case when letting the music do that talking works on every level.

He’s recently released a new EP, ‘The Transfer’ which contains three tracks of synthesizer brilliance. While he does have a lot in common with his SynthWave contemporaries, Aminova, despite his tracks having solid beats, isn’t as dancefloor oriented at his peers, the tune on the EP are more focused on the musical aspects of SynthWave than merely making a crowd move. Layers of intertwining synthetic melodies weave around his songs like smoke, morphing into one another to create a densely layered electronic dream. there’s two things going on here really, there’s the ‘80’s electronic movie soundtrack thing, which Aminova does well, capturing emotion with every melody, and an experimental wall of noise thing, which compliment each other surprisingly well producing a sound that is both beautiful and slightly disorienting.

Aminova – Turn Invisible

Aminova’s ‘The Transfer’ EP and his previous ‘Laser Beach’ EP are available for free on Bandcamp, his ‘Busy Lives/The Way Home’ single was released by Playmaker.

Oliver features on Aeroplane’s ‘In Flight Entertainment’

Oliver

So, Vito Aeroplane’s eagerly awaited ‘In Flight Entertainment’ compilation is out, and it’s good, very good. Maybe not the game-changer that some are making it out to be, but if you drop your expectations what you have is fourteen solid Nu-Disco tracks to get you dancing.

After an Poolside and B-Xentric! open the album in awesome style it kinda’ drops the flow a little bit with a few meandering tunes but once Aeroplane’s own ‘Save Me Now’ kicks in it’s  pure gold until the end of the album. Kolombo, Riptide, Cosmonauts, James Curd and Moonlight Matters all totally nail it, but it Oliver’s contribution that, alongside ‘Save Me Now’ is the real standout of the compilation. ‘Memories Of The Future is a massive Jean Michel-Jarre meets Daft Punk epic which will fascinate and enthral both the Disco dancer and the synth head.

Anoraak reMixes sayCet

SayCet

The almighty Anoraak are back with a brand new reMix for Parisian Indie/ElectroPop/Experimental/Downtempo trio sayCet.

Keeping the downtempo feel to the track, Anoraak brings his retro ElectroPop sounds to this slow jam creating at track that is both a head nodding Electro tune and something that is quite ethereal and dreamlike. The tempo actually make it sound more ’80’s than a lot of Anoraak’s previous work, if that’s even possible. This is pretty much the ultimate chill out track for synth lovers.

Electric Youth’s ‘Right Back To You’

Electric Youth

Does anyone else feel like Electric Youth should release stuff more often? They’re easily one of Canada’s finest ElectroPop exports but we hear from them so sporadically.

Take ‘Coming Right Back To You’, which we first heard a year ago and is finally available to buy. it’s a track that shows off just how clued up EY are when it comes to both songwriting and production styles in a mid-‘80’s Pop vein. It’s easy enough to recreate, or be influenced by ‘80’s music, but the era does have a particular signature when it comes to songwriting and vocal arrangement and Electric Youth have got it locked down. The production too, the use of big synth chords and the insertion of guitar, all authentically slick ‘80’s Pop. Fellow Canadian Dreamwaver DVAS sets up for reMix duties with a laid back funktastic track full of warm analog synth sounds and a delicate Rhodes piano holding up the melody.
