Jonny White Featuring My Favorite Robot

JonnyWhite

Toronto based electronica producer Jonny White has teamed up with My Favorite Robot to produce what could be described as a Deep House/Cold Wave crossover piece.

There are obvious heavy Joy Division influences in this Minimal Synth track, in the dark chords and vocals particularly, but it all works toward a beautiful and hypnotic deep Electro song.

Phonogenic up the danceability and bring the kick drum without loosing and of that deep vibe producing quite a cold Deep House reMix.

Arsenal + Gui Borrato

Arsenal

Belgian electronic Pop duo Arsenal’s forthcoming new single ‘Estupendo’ is being touted as a ‘rival to MGMT’s ‘Electric Feel’’. I’m not sure about, that but it is a catchy summer anthem with a retro feel.

Brazilian producer Gui Boratto has created this deep, quite minimal, reMix for the single. It retains the SynthPop vibe but takes the track down dark, bleepy roads.

‘Estupendo’ and the album ‘Lotuk’ are out soon on Playout Music.

Château Marmont’s new EP

ChâteauMarmont

I loved Château Marmont’s last EP, ‘Solar Apex’, and having just finished listening to their forthcoming new EP, ‘Nibiru’, I love that just as much.

Château Marmont make epic, almost soundtrack-esq Electro. Somewhat in the vein of Kavinsky but more intricate and more musical. Like the introduction to a late ‘70’s or early ‘80’s Sci-Fi show, ‘Nibiru’ is pure retro-futuristic cool that you can’t help but feel is telling a story. The healthy does of vocoder doesn’t hurt either!

‘Nibiru’ is released soon on Institubes.

autoKratz’ ‘Kick’ EP

autokratz03

London ElectroPop/Electro-House noise mongers autoKratz are gearing up to release their second album in 2010, in the meantime they are presenting a brand new EP, titled ‘Kick’, and giving it away for free form their official website.

Containing two new tracks and three reMixes, one of the new tracks, ‘Skin Machine’ we’ve heard before, but the title tack is a brand new beast. And a beast it is too! Hard beats, heard synths, noisy guitars…I love the way autoKratz can take the most chaotic of elements and make them into a cohesive song.

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.
