Shook reMixes Fallulah

Fallulah

Break out the Moog Funk, Dutch smooth Disco king Shook has reMixed Danish Indie-Pop singer Fallulah’s ‘I Lay My Head’.

This is the perfect track to ease you into the weekend. That thick synth bass has got the Funk so hard that it would get your head nodding even if you were in a neck brace. Add to that some sweet Disco licks some 70’s roller-rink lead lines and you’ve got yourself a heady summertime jam that slides across the dancefloor.

♫ Fallulah – I Lay My Head (Shook reMix)

Fallulah’s ‘I Lay My Head’ is out now.

Mayer Hawthorne covers Chromeo

I’m never really sure what to make of bands putting cover versions of their own tracks by other bands on their releases. Did Kitsuné start it?

Here we have Mayer Hawthorne covering Chromeo and Solange Knowles’ ‘When The Night Falls’, taken from Chromeo’s ‘When The Night Falls Single’. Being Chromeo’s single it’s billed as written below, but surely that should be ‘Mayer Hawthorne – When The Night Falls (Chromeo Cover)’, no? Mayer Hawthorne being the artist. But I suppose that would screw up sales in iTunes or something. And as a blogger who am I writing about? Chromeo, or Mayer Hawthorne? Who get’s the picture and the purchase links? Today I’m going with Chromeo as it’s their single, but it does my head in.

Anyhoo, I’m sure you want to know about the music. Luckily after all that it’s pretty damn good. It is quite an achievement to take a Chromeo track and make it smoother, but Mayer Hawthorne manages it, bringing a laid back 70’s Funk to the track. Stick this track on and everything slips into slow motion/

Big History

bighistory

Graphic Designer & SynthPop producer Japayork has given us the heads up about a new project he’s managing, Big History, and the track he sent over is storming.

This New Orleans based six piece create live sounding ElectroPop with an emphasis on song. Vocalist Meg Roussel croons her way through a deeply personal and intimate song, all husky and intense while the other five (six peice? I don’t even want to imagine what the band arguments are like!) craft a melodic and muli-layered ElectroPop sound which is, well, as intricate as you’d expect with six people involved. ‘Wardrum’ is a seriously impressive début with the potential to excite both dancefloors and headphones alike, whether you like your ElectroPop with your hands in the air at 3am or lying on your bed with the curtains drawn, Big History fits the bill.

This amazingly catchy, house single is just a precursor to their self-titled album, which promises to be a stormer.

New track from Casiokids

casiokids

Casiokids, those Norwegian Analog SynthPop kooks have announced the release of their sophomore record, titled ‘Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen’ (in English ‘The Revelation Over The Mountain’) later this year.

‘Det Haster!’ will be the lead single from the 10 track LP, and give us a taste of what to expect. Casiokids merging of their experimental side and their fun, Pop, side shines through in ‘Det Haster!’ as the live drumming and the obvious joy the band take in wigging out on analog synths is focused into a cute little melody and bouncy groove.

♫ Casiokids – Det Haster!

‘Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen’ will be released 11th October on Polyvinyl.

Human Life’s ‘In It Together’ re-release

We have more Human Life for you today following on from their marathon mixtapes yesterday.

As you know by now their Housey ElectroPop anthem ‘In It Together’ is being re-released with new reMixes from Frankie Knuckles, The Shapeshifters & Louie Fresco. Hopefully this will be Human Life’s well deserved breakthrough track. Check the video, which you’ve seen before, but check it again anyway, it’s aged well.

To celebrate the release Human Life are giving you the hands-in-the-air ‘Uptown’ to keep, for your very own, in exchange for your solemn oath that you’ll nip off and purchase the single. I told them electronic rumors readers are peeps of their word. Don’t make me a liar.

♫ Human Life – Uptown

‘In It Together’ was re-released yesterday at Beatport with everywhere else on the 8th.

The Twelves’ ‘Kitsuné Tabloid’

‘Kitsuné Tabloid By The Twelves’ is, unsurprisingly the new Tabloid artist mixtape from Kitsuné Music, it’s  (also unsurprisingly) been put together by The Twelves.

We’ve heard it, it’s pretty special.

Here is a 40 second video teaser, which is the most pointless thing in the world, but it’s all you’ve got for now. Don’t let the pointlessness of the video put you off getting excited for the album.

The Twelves’ ‘Kitsuné Tabloid’ album drops 29th August. Stay tuned.
