MiMó

mimo

MiMó is, or rather was, Erasure’s Any Bell. Having recently released his second single, ‘Will You Be There?". ‘, under the moniker (a tribute to his friend Tomeau Mimó), Andy had decided to release future records under his own name due to more than one artist already using the name Mimo.

The singles, ‘Running Out’ and, the current, ‘Will You Be There?’ are a couple of Italo influenced ElectroPop/EuroPop tunes produced by Pop producer extraordinaire Pascal Gabriel. Upbeat, dancefloor, Pop tracks with Andy’s unmistakable vocals both singles have an impressive line up of reMixers. ‘Will You Be There?’ can include amongst it’s reMix credentials this mix from French Horn Rebellion who bring a relaxed Nu-Disco flavour to the track and ‘Running Out’ features a mix from Indie-Electro band-of-the-moment Fenech-Soler who’s sweeping, chilled, Electro mix is the highlight of the single.

Barretso reMixes Housse De Racket

HousseDeRacket

When electronic rumors fav Barretso dropped his new mixtape the couple of days ago to tracks really held our interest. Both reMixes by Barratso himself, firstly of the Vanish’s ‘Heartbeats’ and secondly of French synthesizer (or Synthetiseur) heroes Housse De Racket’s ‘Oh Yeah!’.

The guys over at Trashbags have finally dropped the Housse De Racket mix and it’s a proper Nu-Disco workout, hard FM bass adds a real kick to Barretso’s sweet lead lines. This is an absolutely killer reMix, when the track kick back in from that build those soaring synths will just carry you away!

♫ Housse De Racket – Oh Yeah! (Barretso reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

You can pick up Berretso’s mixtape at his SoundCloud here, now we’re just waiting with baited breath for that The Vanish mix, it sounds wicked!

The single for ‘Oh Yeah!’ is due out in May

A couple of days ago the supreme rulers of all things Indie-Electro, Ladytron, released the fourth and final instalment of their ‘Remixed & Rare’ series. Each release of the series focused on one of their four studio albums collecting reMixes from the single, B-sides and other gems.

Taking it’s tracks from 2007’s ‘Velocifero’ it’s mostly collected from the singles that accompanied the album with a couple of surprises thrown in. Take a listen to some of our favourites. The Toxic Avenger absolutely hammers home his dirty Electro-House banger version of ‘Ghosts’, Port-Royal turn in a Lo-Fi chilled take on ‘Tomorrow’ while Grey Ghost turns ‘Predict The Day’ into a smooth, vocoder driven, Dreamwave-esq synth odyssey.
