[MP3] Box Of Wolves’ ‘No Kisses’

No Kisses is the third in London based Canadian Chillwaver Box Of Wolves series of free tracks. These weekly releases will come together to make up the Swim EP. So far the EP has been stormingly good,a lush collection of Chillwave with added Funk and this latest addition to the EP is no different.

Breezy synths and shifting melodies move and evolve around No Kisses. Perfectly walking the line between an upbeat dance track and the smoothest of chill jams. Box Of Wolves tracks are like magic boxes, there’s always something new to discover on repeated listens. Here you have layer upon layer in intertwining sounds and textures, distant vocal snatches and shuffling hats, all riding over a laid back LA Funk groove. Another amazing track from this Chillwave rising star.

[Video] Shiny Toy Guns’ ‘Somewhere To Hide’

Here’s the vide for LA Indie-Electro outfit Shiny Toy Guns’ Somewhere To Hide, one of the standout tracks from their recent III album, and excellent single material.

The clip is directed by Robby Starbuck, and it probably the best video from III to date. There’s a lot of cool Wonderland business going on, but for us the highlight is the back room/light up instruments bits.

Shiny Toy Gun’s III is out now.

[Audio] Kate Boy’s ‘In Your Eyes’

Early last month we featured Northern Lights, the début single from Sweedish ElectroPop band Kate Boy. We still don’t know that much about them, but since then they’ve generated quite a buzz. This new trio is set to release the track early next year on IAMSOUND Records and we can now have a listen to Northern Lights’ B-side. The pounding In Your Eyes.

In Your Eyes presents a huge sound, with a sonic pallet not dissimilar to mid-80s Depeche Mode, with razor sharp digital synths and an almost Industrial feel. The rousing vocal slips between chilly Scandi
Pop and euphoric exuberance with ease which the rhythm heavy music is compellingly relentless whist holing on to a tundral edge. There have, of course, been many comparisons to The Knife (something seemingly unavoidable for Scandinavian ElectroPop acts), but Kate Boy display more of an IndiePop sensibility in their tunes, and we can’t wait to hear more.

♫ Kate Boy – In You Eyes

Kate Boy’s Northern Lights is due out on 22nd January.

[Audio] Chromeo reMixes Boys Noize

We were a bit hot-and-cold when it came to Electro superstar Boys Noize’s new album Out Of The Black. Half of it was really good, the other half seems to be a bit by-the-numbers, and we would have expected more in 2012. One of the highlights of the record, if not the best track, was the album’s first single What You Want. This modern Electro re-imagining of PIL’s Order Of Death gave us really high hopes for Out Of The Black, so if he was going to get one of our favourite duos of all-time, Chromeo, to reMix anything, we are glad it was that.

And that’s what happened. The Chromeo reMix of What You Want actually starts off sounding more like Dave 1 and P-Thugg severely funking up the PIL track, before the just make it totally their own, after a while there’s next to no trace of the Boys Noize track left and what you’re left with is some amazing, funky tune loaded with Chromeo’s trademark talk box work, their trademark piercing synths and Dave 1 giving it some vocal passion. Perfect work, and a new Chromeo track. Which is, coincidentally, what we wanted.

♫ Boys Noize – What You Want (Chromeo reMix)

Boys Noize’s What You Want is released 14th January and includes reMixes from Jacques Lu Cont, Jimmy Edgar and D.I.M.

[MP3] Cassian’s ‘On & On’

Sydney producer Cassian has been laying low for a few months, since the summer, but he’s re-entering our consciousness in style with a brand new that that is not only hot as hell, but free too! This one’s perfect for getting you in the mood for a weekend’s partying.

On & On has got a driving bassline, with just a twist of Funk, that’s guaranteed to get you moving. A punchy digital sound that follows the beat, the bassline power this tune onward and upward. Floaty female vocal samples drift in and out of the track with buzzing synths infect your brain. It;s groovy enough to slot into a Disco set but loaded with House cool. Deep, breezy, good times.

[Audio] SaiR’s new EP

Well, this is a nice surprise for the end of the week. One of our favourite SynthWave artists, Portuguese producer Ruben Allen, A.K.A. SaiR, has just released a shiny new EP on none other than Rosso Corsa Records. It’s been a while since we heard from SaiR, but it looks like his time hasn’t been going to waste.

The Sunfield EP holds four tracks from SaiR output in the last couple of years, each one loaded with a sweet nostalgic synth Funk. Kicking off with Clockwise, rocking an Electro-Funk bassline and a punchy buzzing lead. Clockwise twists it’s way through Disco, SynthWave and Funk, revelling in the best of each with some glorious synth sounds and melodic playing. Shoreline conjures a mood of lazy afternoons in the sun with it’s laid back vintage synth style and some dreamy melodies. Sunfield delivers an even more chilled groove that sees SaiR getting a little synth Jazzy while Bright merges the best LA Funk with, and Herbie Hancock style keyboard wizardry, with blissful Dreamwave. If you’re a fan if Disco, Funk or SynthWave this EP is a must. Also, the guy on the cover (pictured above) is Ruben’s old-man, in the 70s, dirt-biking it!

[Audio] The Other Tribe’s ‘Sing With Your Feet’

Bristolian rabble rousers The Other Tribe, who played a couple of absolutely blinding sets at Bestival this year, are swiftly following up the summer anthem Skirts, with a brand new single that comes loaded with Tropical House vibes. Sing With Your Feet is released this weekend.

Our hometown six-piece have already has the Dub version of this tune featured on The Magician’s last Magic Tape, but the vocal version takes things to the next level. It’s a deep track that mixes up a House beat and bassline with some blissful Tropical musical percussion. The Other Tribe are definitely showing a knack for delivering anthemic Indie-Electro, and Sing With Your Feet, like Skirts, is a sure fine party starter. Interestingly “Sing With Your Feet” is an ancient Aztec expression for dancing, as they didn’t have another word to describe it, that’s where The Other Tribe got it from. Cool huh?
