New Pégase tracks

Pegase

Pégase, side project of Raphaël (the lead singer of Minitel Rose), have dropped a couple of new demos.

As with everything that comes out of the Valerie collective this is quality retro Electro stuff. More upbeat than Pégase’s earlier, spaced-out, tunes these two are full-on ElectroPop goodness. ‘Wherever You Are’ is verging on Electro-Rock.

♫ Pégase – Wherever You Are (Demo.) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Pégase’s first proper releases are really something to look forward to, until then show the French man some MySpace love!

Little Boots Vs. The Golden Filter

LittleBoots6

20 Days without a new Little Boots track…what’s up with that?

Luckily all is forgiven as this new reMix comes from the amazing New Your deep Disco merchants The Golden Filter who take Boots’ live favourite (and now confirmed next single) ‘New In Town’ and lead it down dark, dirty Disco, alleyways.

There really is “no one safe in these streets!”

Also, Victoria rockin’ the Keytar!

Tesla Boy

TeslaBoy

Tesla Boy hail from Moscow and make some sweet Vocal Electro-House with a strong ElectroPop strain running through it.

This isn’t 80’s influenced SynthPop, this is 80’s SynthPop, just accidently made in the wrong century. Fantastic FM synth leadlines layer over warm analog bass and drums to compliment Anton Sevidov’s smooth soul vocals.

Tesla Boy are currently being championed by the Valerie crew, which isn’t surprising as they have impeccable taste and Tesla Boy would fit in well in their stable.

♫ Tesla Boy – Neon Love (zShare) (MediaFire)

Tesla Boy have just released their very limited edition self-titled EP, check it out on their MySpace page.

The week in Bangers: 29:03:09

The week in Bangers: While electronic rumors isn’t strictly an Electro-House blog, we do cover a lot of Electro-House that crosses over in to our realm. So many good club tunes and reMixes surface each week we can’t (and wouldn’t) cover them all, so this is a round up of some of the best from the week that we didn’t have time to dedicate individual posts to…

DinoRoboGrafffiti

It’s a week or so old now but the Acid Girls remix of Mini Viva’s ‘I Left My heart In Tokyo’ is still doin’ it, as is FC Kahuna’s work on Noah And The Whale. Youth’s reMix of Elke’s ‘Blue Dream Lover’ is a smooth dancefloor groover in contrast to Esser & A1 Bassline’s noisy Electro/Dubstep flavoured jam. Moving into a more ElectroPop arena is Cinemax with ‘Smudged’, as reMixed be Melee Beats. Bringing things crashing back to the dancefloor is Bit Funk’s take on vitaminsforyou and this weeks big hype magnet, Warp 1.9 by The Bloody Beetroots teaming up with Steve Aoki to seriously rock the place. Finally Curtis Vodka gets made over, by electronic rumors favourites DMX Krew, into a 1988 Acid House trip.

Villians reMix Lykke Li

LykkeLi2

I was determined that I wasn’t going to blog this new reMix of Lykke Li’s ‘Little Bit’, the song had been reMixed to death and when I picked up this reMix, by Villains, over at NME’s Daily Download blog I really wasn’t going to post it…I wasn’t!

Then I listened to it!

It’s now my favourite reMix of my favourite Lykki Li tune, it features some of the most infections, funky, kickin’ synth bass I have ever heard!!!

‘Nuff said:

I can’t stop playing this shit!

New Danger!

danger2

Danger is back with the soon to be release follow up to his début 12″, ‘09-14 2007′, and it was well worth the wait.

Coming like a clubbed up Jean-Michel Jarre, ’88h88 (Stage 3: the Club) is an emptive Disco journey, like the soundtrack to a retro-future. This stuff is seriously my favourite kind of Electro-house.

♫ Danger – 88h88 (Stage 3: The Club) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Entitled ’09-16 2007′, the single is out March 30th via Ekleroshock Records.

TWIB1

datA & Sébastien Grainger’s hit from last year, ‘Rapture’, got a noisy Electro working out from Kids At The Bar this week and Le Castle Vania took on indie hot-tickets The Virgins giving them a Disco overhaul. Fresh from reMixing Tigersapian, Kolt13 work their tricks on Girl And A Gun and we have new material from Daroc and Bloc Party with some tracks from their forthcoming reMix album by Villains and Filthy Dukes. The Fire And Reason closes this week’s The Week In Bangers in sleazy electro style with a reMix by The R.O.A.R.

College never came back

College

College are back with some brand new 80’s synthesized Electro-House goodness.

As to be expected with anything bearing the Valerie stable seal of approval, College’s ‘She Never Came Back’ is a soaring Electro odyssey that wraps you up in layers of FM synthesis featuring vocals from Electric Youth Here treated to reMixes by fellow Valerie crew members Russ Chimes and The Outrunners.

♫ College (Feat. Electric Youth) – She Never Came Back (Russ Chimes reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

♫ College (Feat. Electric Youth) – She Never Came Back (The Outrunners reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

I love the fact that, along with Kavinsky and Danger et al., the Valerie lot seem to be putting the musician ship back into Electro-House.

Love all The Zonders artwork too!

You can also catch the video for ‘She Never Came Back’ here.

Go check out some College, then work your way through the rest of the Valerie gang:

Oizo reMixes Oizo

Mr.Oizo

The godfather of noisy French House Mr.Oizo has just propped his new EP, Pourriture, on Ed Banger Records. The EP features reMixes from the ‘Lamb’s Anger’ album including this one of Oizo reMixing himself.

The track, ‘Steroids’, featuring the Uffster, is a lot dancier, less abstract, than the album version with some kickin’ stabs

♫ Mr. Oizo (Feat. Uffie) – Steroids (Mr. Oizo reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Whatever happened to Uffie? What happened to this album that was always supposed to be coming?

‘Pourriture’ & ‘Lamb’s Anger’ can be procured from all good record stores.

Calvin Harris Vs. Deadmau5

calvinharris1

So…Calvin Harris’ new single then? All a bit hands-in-the-air trance really.

This reMix by Deadmau5, however, takes it in a pleasing plinky-plonky Electro/Progressive House direction. Oh, it’s still got the euphoric chord progression, there’s just not so many big stacked pads going on.

Pretty chilled for Deadmau5 really.

♫ Calvin Harris – I’m Not Alone (Deadmau5 reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘I’m Not Alone’ is released April 13th. There’s a Hervé reMix too!
