New Atomizer album out today!

Atomizer, being ex-Specimen keyboardist Johnny Slut and his DJ partner Fil OK, spearheaded the London electro scene in the early 2000’s with their legendary club night Nag Nag Nag, and arguably helped kick-off the Electro resurgence we are enjoying today.

Today they drop their second full length studio album after a run of fantastic EPs, titled ‘Cult Of Europa’ and it’s the sleazy, twisted, noisy SynthPop affair you would expect from these two, with a healthy dose of Acid burbling.

Check these tracks from the album:

♫ Atomizer – I’d Prefer Not To (zShare) (MediaFire)

♫ Atomizer – Je Suis Lesbien (zShare) (MediaFire)

’Cult Of Europa’ is out on Nag Nag Nag Records:

Gatekeeper

If the Valerie crew are obsessed with 80’s teen and Sci-Fi movies then Chicago’s Gatekeeper must feel similarly about 80’s horror flicks.

50% hypnotic Electro-House and 50% John Carpenter-esq horror themes, Gatekeeper are the dark side of Dreamwave. The tracks have a sense of a mid 80’s industrial influence to them as well, kinda’ like an instrumental Skinny Puppy reMixed by Russ Chimes!

Whether your a fan of 80’s movie themes, dark Electronic music or the current crop of 80’s influenced Electro-House there is defiantly something for you here.

The Golden Filter return

What a day! Kicking off with new Shy Child and rounding up with the new single from The Golden Filter!

‘Thunderbird’ is their second single after the fantastic début ‘Sold Gold’ earlier this year and it doesn’t fail to live up to the high expectations that were set. It’s got that Golden Filter bass, those Disco drums and the floaty vocals that ‘Solid Gold’ had but manages to be a completely different sounding song, with a different atmosphere, more edgy.

If you loved ‘Solid Gold’, you’ll love this. End of.

♫ The Golden Filter – Thunderbird (zShare) (MediaFire)

The ‘Thunderbird’ 12” comes out on November 16th.

New Shy Child!

Exiting times! Shy Child, one of the finest live electronic bands around right now are hard at work on their third studio album, ‘Liquid Love’. Personally, I can’t wait!
