[Audio] Keljet and X Ambassadors ‘Love Of A Life’

Earlier this month we has a listen to the MiGHty mOUse reMix of the new single from Keljet featuring X Ambassadors. Now with a release date of the start of next month, via On The Fruit Records, it’s time to get our ears around the original version of the track, Love Of A Life.

Be prepared, because Love Of A Life is a huge slice of Tropical ElectroPop that’s so upbeat and energetic it’ll likely catch you off-guard. The Dutch Disco duo have whipped up one of the biggest sounding singles of the year so far. Loaded with pounding drums, a buzzsaw bassline and layers of floaty, almost Trance, leads, all topped off with some Balearic percussion and an anthemic vocal. This is a large sweeping track that is sure to take certain clubs by storm this summer.

[Audio] Kid Machine’s new EP

Manchester’s finest Italo export and one of the driving forces of the modern Italo scene Kid Machine is gearing up for the release of his next 12”. Looking forward toward a packed EP released through Red Laser Records, Kid Machine is promising to deliver some top quality Sci-fi Italo with these two sneak peak tracks, Hyperion and Il Militante.

Up first is Hyperion, which is as epic a track as the title suggests. Coming in just short of nine minutes, Hyperion uses it’s length wisely, sucking you in to it’s galactic soundscape and carrying you along with it on it’s retro future Disco odyssey. With a solid grounding in pounding machine beats and the phatest Italo bassline you’ll hear in a while, Hyperion has a solid core on top of which it can dance and swirl, crafting optimistic and mysterious synthetic moods. After the space age fantasy of Hyperion, Il Militante brings us slightly back down to earth with an urban electronic feel. A vintage dystopian soundtrack for a neon soaked city, the analog beats for footsteps, the sparking arpeggios for rain. We’re definitely looking forward to checking out what the rest of Kid Machine’s EP holds.

[Audio] Patrick Baker’s ‘Slip Away’

Another day, another post about Patrick Baker. Anytime this guy want to take a holiday is fine, he must be knackered. Having seen out the end of last year with his Televisor and Hot Hot Hawk collaborations, so far 2013 has seen a single and a new track from the man himself and his vocals leant to tracks from 5 Reasons and Silent Gloves and now he;s bringing it back with another new single, Slip Away.

Bringing it back to the ElectroPop after his excursion on New Jack Swing, Patrick once again show us why no-one does 80s American Pop music quite like him. With a Breakin’ beat and punchy synths this track announces itself from the first bar. Add a sprinkling of Pop guitar and Patricks epic Pop voice and you have another catchy slice of nostalgia from the man out of time. reMixes come from DigitalNativeDance and this opus from French SynthWaver Tommy. Tommy bring it energetic and upbeat, with phasing drums and a driving arpeggiated bassline, in case you felt like bringing it to the dancefloor. Top stuff!

[Audio] Tythe’s ‘Careless Woman’

I don’t know who Tythe is, and I don’t really care. I’m totally intoxicated by this song. But, *sigh*, I suppose I should at least have a cursory glance at who this guy is. Well, he mentions Bestival in his press release, so that’s immediately scoring points with me. He’s reMixed David Lynch and Crystal Fighters, which all points toward being down with the Sunday Best crew. *checks release info* Yup, it’s out next month an Sunday Best having also been released last weekend on vinyl for Record Store Day. Right, back to the track.

Careless Woman is a deep and undulating Balearic groove. A sunrise House tune with a gritty, futuristic feel. Growling bass synths and razor sharp arpeggios are tempered with spacy, smokey sounds and a generous helping of Dubby echoes. Add to this is big diva vocal that’s reminiscent of Billie Ray Martin and you’ve got a tune you can just melt into. This is one for hot summer nights and loosing yourself in music.

Tythe’s Careless Woman was released 19th May, with the limited edition Record Store Day vinyl out now.

[MP3] Avec Sans reMix Swiss Lips

Manchester’s Swiss Lips might be pretty irritating, but they sure can write a catchy chorus, and more to the point, sure can pick some amazing reMixers. Next up to tackle their single U Got The Power is the so-far flawless London based ElectroPop duo Avec Sans. Avec and Sans are two words we just can’t resist, and for good reason.

Avec Sans really do make the track their own, giving the track the same kind of shimmer that their two original releases have, with a hint of Chvrches’ Lies in there too (which is unsurprising seeing as Avec Sans and Chvrches are the new sound of British ElectroPop, there’s bound to be some crossover in there somewhere). Applied to Swiss Lips tune, Avec Sans rushes of synthetic emotion and punchy basslines become the tracks centrepiece, merely accompanied by the vocals. We do love Avec Sans sound around these parts.

[Audio] Silent Gloves & Patrick Baker

Out this week is the début proper release from Dayton SynthWave Silent Gloves. Long-time staple of the SynthWave scene ‘Gloves has roped in Disco’s current vocal darling and ElectroPop trailblazer in his own right Patrick Baker to Pop up his SynthWave and between the two of the they deliver So Real, a massive slice of classic Pop.

So Real is as close to perfect American 80s Pop music as is probably humanly possible to get. It’s one of those track you just have to listen to, there’s no way we could explain the energy and excitement of So Real, the rolling arpeggiated bassline, the lush, authentically 80s synths, Patrick’s sweeping vocal. It’s pitch perfect nostalgic Pop, totally evocative of the mid-80s and catchy as hell to boot. With a track like this you really do have to rope in the big guns for reMix duties, and the SynthWave scenes heavy hitters are on board. Outrun pioneer Miami Nights 1984’s take on the track delivers a high octane rendition of the original. The bassline more driven, the synth more stabby and the groove more street, MN84 turn in the montage version of So Real. the king of soundtrack Electro Mitch Murder brings his FM dreamscapes to the single package with a reMix that channels the best 80s electronic ballads and proves one again, that whatever mood Mitch turns his hand to he makes his own. Simple question. Do you like retro electronic music? If you answered that question with a ‘yes’, then you need to buy this whole single package right now.

[MP3] Jordan F reMixes Tokyo Denmark Sweden

Once again, Jordan F delivers some of the most vibrant, emotional, electronic music around with his latest offering. The track is a reMix of fellow Australians, Indie band Tokyo Denmark Sweden, and their track When It Breaks, which is taken from their début self-titled EP, just released.

Returning, slightly, to his core 80s SynthWave sound, Jordan makes the best use of his recent excursions into more left-field arenas to deliver a track with a solid nostalgic backbeat that is accompanied by waves of Chill synths. All this works amazingly with Tokyo Denmark Sweden’s floaty female vocals to create a whole that is dreamy, catchy, thoughtful and dancefloor ready. We’re sticking this one in our back pocket until the summer.
