I gotta’ say, I do like all this Little Boots being back business. Just knowing that Vicky is out there somewhere promoting an ElectroPop single is a calming influence on me, takes me back to those early, exciting days of electronic rumors.
A couple of new reMixes of her latest (comeback?) single ‘Shake’ have dropped this week. Azari & III, not strikingly, go deep with the track. Really deep. Their reMix is a growling, swelling, slightly techy jam that shoes off some nice raw 808 drum sounds and reminds me a little of early Bleep House. In their hands ‘Shake’ goes from being DancePop gold to a hypnotic mantra. Crazy P head straight for the disco with their take on the track, taking a little Indie along with them. their version is a laidback, but groovy summer vibe.

So, by now you’re all familiar with Johan Agebjörn ‘Casablanca Nights’, on of the best albums of the year that saw Johan teaming up with a plethora of talent throughout the record, noticeably fellow Swede Le Prix. The two of the have decided that future collaboration between the two will fall under the moniker Plexi Grace.

It’s been a fair few months since we heard anything from London based left-field ElectroPop collective Ursa Minor (Little Bear), but they haven’t been waiting their time as their forthcoming new single proves.
‘Droplet Affection’ is a massive, euphoric Pop tune with more heart and soul than you could ever need. Musically ‘Droplet Affection’ comes across as and, almost Balearic, Summer House track played by a live band, which adds a nice live shuffle to the rhythms and gives the Ibiza style hooks and arpeggios a raw power beyond that of House music. All this creates a swirling, uplifting backing for Little Bear’s heartfelt and passionate vocals to cut thorough and take the track even higher.

Here’s the video for Adrian Lux and The Good Natured’s strangely epic ‘Alive’.
Still can’t get over how the mere addition of Sarah’s vocals make the cheesy Ibiza riffs sound good. This track is going to be huge. The video starts off pretty standard retro lighting clip and ends up Sci-Fi weird-out.
The ‘Alive’ single is out now with a reMix package featuring Albin Myers, Blende and Adrian Lux & Style Of Eye to follow.

We featured Collins’ contribution Fear Of Tigers’ ‘Pippi Longstrump’ reMix competition a while back as one of our picks of entries, his melodic take on retro Electro immediately caught out ear.
Now the Irish resident of Brazil has sent on over his most recent track. ‘Loverboy’ kicks off with a slick ‘80’s bassline and classic SynthPop melody before sliding into a particularly vintage sounding SynthWave tune. It’s at this point that the track takes you completely by surprise by morphine into a vocoded Electro Boogie jam. ‘Loverboy’ is a robotic love song for Breakers and Italo heads alike and marks Collins as one to keep an eye on.
♫ Collins – Loverboy
Check out his reMix of Miss Kittin’s classic ‘Rippin Kittin’ too, full of bouncy retro basslines and wicked solos.

Germany’s Final DJs have taken on Kris Menace And Savage dancefloor smash ‘Let’s Shower Together’ from last year with their latest edit.
A few cuts here, a few edits there and a few filters all over and Final DJs give us a freshly squeezed Nu-Disco jam for 2012. The new big drops really give the tune a new lease of life. Pure dancefloor gold!

Model are an American duo who brand of abrasive Glitchy Electro-House hides quite a funky groove at it’s core.
Check out their two recent tracks, ‘DanceWorkDanceSex’ and ‘Minuit’, both of which have strains of both Ed Banger electro and 2001 ElectroClash running through their DNA. Chainsaw synths, disenchanted vocals snatches, driving beats and cut up crazy synth work. Throwing everything into the melting pot is these guys style, even working some ChipTune in there, I expect these two will be destroying Electro-House dancefloors next summer.
