Jensen Sportag’s new tune
Here a nice mellow slice of retro Chillwavey ElectroPop to ease you into the week.
‘Gentle Man’ is Jensen Sportag’s latest track is a perfect exercise in smooth 80’s Pop with a modern twist. Part MJ ballad, part spacey Chillwave and part 80’s Pop classic. there’s a hint of early Duran Duran in the music too. These two guys from Nashville certainly know how to craft and absorbing and nostalgic tune.
Jensen Sportag’s ‘Pure Wet’ EP is out now on Cascine.

Goin’ Old School: Peter Godwin – Baby’s In The Mountains
Peter Godwin‘s 1983 Italo/Pop ‘hit’ ‘Baby’s In The Mountains’. I use the word ‘hit’ loosely, despite it being a classic slice of 80’s electronic Pop it has been largely forgotten.

Futurecop! ‘N.A.S.A.’ single
Futurecop!’s ‘N.A.S.A.’ was one of their first tracks way back when. It’s seen a few incarnations since then and the duo have just released it as a single, via their SoundCloud page.
Featuring the vocals of Christian Rich, who’s worked with the likes of N*E*R*D, Lupe Fiasco and P.Diddy, this version appears to be the same as the one on their absolutely amazing (but unbelievable Japanese only) ‘It’s Forever, Kids’!’ album and it’s about a clean and slick a retro ElectroPop track as you will ever hear. Pure feel good electronic Pop fun. Also included is the buzzsaw Electro of the ‘Lazer reMix’.
♫ Futurecop! (Feat. Christian Rich) – N.A.S.A.

Futurecop!’s ‘It’s Forever, Kids!’ is available on Japanese import here (delivery time isn’t bad either).

Toomy Disco & HiEM & Phil Oakey!
HiEM (Bozzwell and Nicco Eastwood)’s ‘2am’ featuring the vocals of The Human League’s Phil Oakey has been knocking around for a couple of years now, but was been given a new lease of life when Toomy Disco & Fernando were asked to reMix the track.
Washing the ElectroPop original with broad strokes of Disco, Toomy Disco & Fernando lay down a severe bass and guitar lick Funk that just seem to roll under Sir Phil’s vocals. Some nice big synth chords finish off the musical job layering the track think, only to be spaced out again with some vocal echo. This is a late night groover, fact.

You Love Her Coz She’s Dead’s new album
You Love Her Coz She’s Dead are releasing their long awaited self-titled record this month. In preparation, get your ears ‘round one of the album tracks, ‘Leap Of Desire I’.
I’m going to come right out and say it, You Love her Coz She’s Dead are better than Crystal Castles. Yes, there are massive similarities in sound, and I don’t care who came first, the fact is YLHCSD write better songs. You can have all the 8-bit noise and distorted shouting in the world but you get major plus points if there is an actual song to back that up, a gold star if it’s catchy. ‘Leap Of Desire I’ is a slightly Dubstep influenced ElectroPunk-out and, here’s the thing, it’s got a good riff, good melodies and catchy vocals. We’re looking forward to this album.
♫ You Love Her Coz She’s Dead – Leap Of Desire I
You Love Her Coz She’s Dead’s album is out on 29th August and Glasstone Records.

Who Killed JR? reMix Heartsrevolution
We haven’t seen that many entries for Heartsrevolution’s ‘Teenage Teardrops’ competition yet but with this mix sent to us by South African producer Who Killed JR? the bar is set pretty high.
Completely changing the sound of the track, WKJR? French Touches things up to 11 and sprinkles on a little RoboPop. This track has it all, a funkin’ bassline, jump out of your seat chord stabs, vocoder action and when all wrapped up words really well with Heartsrevolution’s original. Good work Who Killed JR?.
