AlunaGeorge reMix Baby Monster

babymonster

We’ve not heard enough from AlunaGeorge recently, but Baby Monster new single ‘The Fear Of Charlie Sunrise’ is the perfect track for them to reMix.

Doing that thing they do where the make thing experimental, yet melodic. Deep and dubby, yet bright and poppy, AlunaGeorge create a richly textured soundscape that showers you with snatches of vocal and waves of lush synths.

♫ Baby Monster – The Fear Of Charlie Sunrise (AlunaGeorge reMix)

‘The Fear Of Charlie Sunrise’ is taken from Baby Monster’s self-titled début album, out now.

Aimes début album

aimes

Following on from Brooklyn based producer Aimes’ single ‘Every Time When I See You’ comes his just released début album.

‘Your Floor Is Now A Tree’ is a raw album, by which I mean it’s electronic, but doesn’t sound sequenced and quantized. It feels like it is being played live on every listen. There’s an excitement and energy that comes with that feeling that suits Aimes, Chillwave, Dreamwave, DiscoPop, Indie-Electro crossover perfectly. A deeply introspective album, both musically and vocally, Aimes conveys a subdued emotional resonance in every song, through chord progression and narrative. You can tell the album is very personal to him. And hey, there’s stuff to dance to here too!

♫ Aimes – Living Like We Do

♫ Aimes – Hard Notes & Love Drugs

♫ Aimes – Wonder Stories

‘Your Floor Is Now A Tree’ is out now on ModyWorks.

a&r’s new track

a&r

Brooklyn duo a&r recently dropped a new track on their SoundCloud page, and it’s a stormer.

‘Perfect Thieves’ is just the kind of top quality, emotional, ElectroPop we’ve come to expect from these two. This is big, 80’s chords, SynthPop but with an Indie sensibility and one foot squarely on the dancefloor. The vocal style and dreamy synth sounds make me think of a slightly more gangly guitar infused Monarchy with this tune,

Yelle, Eumig & Chinon and Kap10Kurt

Yelle

Yelle, easily one of the best live acts I have seen this year, is embarking on a US tour. If they are playing near you, especially if it’s quite an intimate venue, I strongly suggest a night out.

In celebration of tour embarking here’s a couple of reMixes of ‘Que Veux-Tu’ by Eumig & Chinon and Kap10Kurt. Both have been kicking about for a while now but both are seriously worth your listening minutes. E&C get sweet and soulful with their Disco Funk version of the track while the ElectroPop master Kap10Kurt works his mysterious cosmic Electro ways.

♫ Yelle – Que Veux-Tu (Eumig & Chinon Poppy reMix)

♫ Yelle – Que Veux-Tu (Kap10Kurt Dreamix)

Peep the tour dates:

11/10 – Los Angeles, CA @ Wiltern
11/12 – San Francisco, CA @ Mezzanine
12/02 – Miami, FL @ Fillmore
12/03 – Orlando, FL @ Social/Plaza
12/04 – Jacksonville, FL @ Jack Rabbits
12/05 – Atlanta, GA @ Loft
12/07 – Baltimore, MD @ Sonar
12/08 – New York, NY @ Webster Hall
12/09 – Brooklyn, NY @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
12/10 – Philadelphia, PA @ Transit

‘Que Veux-Tu’ is taken from Yelle’s latest album ‘Safari Disco Club’.

Daze reMixes Ellie Goulding

ellie_goulding

You remember Ellie Goulding’s ‘Starry Eyed’? You remember how awesome it was two summers ago? You remember how it has a perfectly good, fun and funky, music video? You remember how the perfectly good, fun and funky, music video also got edited into a perfectly good music video for the jaw droopingly amazing Russ Chimes reMix of the song? Well, now the single is being released in the States there is a new video for it, which I won’t be posting as it appears to be the latest in a long line of record label attempts to turn Ms. Goulding into the blandest artist ever. The previous video was kinetic, and dancey, and youthful. The new video is Ellie slow-mo in a field, full of product placement, or something. Kinda’ like ‘The Writer’ video then? Seriously, we’ll see how many top 10 hits she has after you’ve tuned her into a dreary folk artist. My advice? Stick her back with Starsmith, let Neon Gold look after her, and we’ll all have a good time. The song is about shared clubbing or festival experiences, not picnics and feeling up bark.

Aaaaaaaaaanyway…renewed interest in the, admittedly still brilliant, track means more reMixes. Daze has put together a storming Disco fuelled epic track. Sliding between different grooves Daze controls the listener before sweeping in with a massive analog solo. Synth Funk haven.

Sykur

Sykur are a new Icelandic trio who are gearing up for a September release of their début UK single, ‘Shed Those Tears’.

There’s loads of early 80’s SynthPop in ‘Shed These Tears’, there almost a Soft Cell quality to the tune, but with a nice raw contemporary Electro production style. The trio of Halldór, Stefán and Kristján already are well respected on the Reykjavik Electro scene, and the respect is well deserved, their music portrays a skill, maturity and tradition well beyond their years. The single will be backed with reMixes from the crazy FM Belfast, who cut and splice the track to give it a slightly more dancefloor vibe and DJ Kris Di Angelis who takes the track straight into Deep House territory as he gets proggy with it.

♫ Sykur – Shed Those Tears

Dirty Vegas Vs. Penguin Prison

dirty_vegas_group

Just out is Dirty Vegas’ ‘Little White Doves’ single from their recent ‘Electric Love’ album. We already dropped the Visitor reMix a while back and alongside that and tracks from Nightriders, Blonde Rocka and Ladytron, Indie-ElectroPopper Penguin Prison contributes to the package.

PP goes all epic 80’s soundtrack rock meets deep House tune for his take on the tune. The anthemic vocals and rousing retro sound counterpointed with low down Acid burbling and a hypnotic groove. Dirty Vegas have returned the favour by contributing to the (now massive) collection of reMixes of Penguin Prison’s ‘Fair Warning’ who work their sunrise House magic on the song with a nice subtle Balearic feel to it.
