Edwin Van Cleef reMixes the hell out of Nelly Furtado

The man Edwin Van Cleef is one of the UK’s best unsung talents and a guy who doesn’t release nearly enough tunes to keep us happy!

Lucky for us, then, he’s dropped this massive reMix of Nelly Furtado’s new single ‘The Night Is Young’ just in time for X-mas. From it’s bouncy bassline to it’s huge chords and 80’s-esq melody line, this is Nu-Disco done perfectly buy one of the guys who helped shape the sound.

Enjoy:

autoKratz return with ‘Opposite Of Love’

London’s noisy ElectroPoppers autoKratz return in January with a brand new single, ‘Opposite Of Love’, and here we have the promo clip for it.

It’s an awesome comeback for the guys, a brooding yet poppy tune full of the buzzsaw synths we love autoKratz for. The track is taken from their forthcoming second (or third depending on how you view their releases) album ‘Self Help for Beginners’, due for release in March 2011.

The video was directed by Phil Moss.

‘Opposite Of Love’ is released 24th January,

JBAG’s ‘X-Ray Sex’

January finally sees the release of Kitsuné DJs extraordinaire JBAG’s début artist single.

After numerous awesome reMixes and two essential mix albums (‘Kitsuné BoomBox’ and ‘Kituné X Ponystep’) the duo of Jerry Bouthier and Andrea Gorgerino have teamed up with ex-Ping Pong Bitches frontwoman Louise Prey on ‘X-Ray Sex’.

First heard on the Kitsuné X Ponystep’ compilation, ‘X-ray Sex’ is a pretty stunning début, these two have cranked out some amazing reMixes and edits in the past few years and you can see how things were heading in this direction. Equal parts ElectroPop and House with a nice 80’s flavour (particularly in the bassline), it’s defiantly got a London vibe to it as well. For something a little heavier check the Jolie Cherie reMix which sounds like a mash-up between early 90’s House and some killer Electro bass!

Ali Love’s ‘Moscow Girl’ video

Just ‘cos we’re in a video mood and it’s quite wintery here’s the video for Ali Love’s forthcoming single ‘Moscow Girl’

Directed by Camille Benett and Joe Spray the video is Ice Sakting-tastic, not quite what I expected for the DiscoPop tune, but fitting nonetheless.

‘Moscow Girl’ is out 17th January on Back Yard Recordings.

Error: Operator covers ‘Enjoy The Silence’

Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy The Silence’ is probably one of the most covered tracks in the world, so it’s nice when someone brings something new to the track.

ElectronicaPop artist Error: Operator has teamed up with Harry Lee of recent Kitsuné signing Waylayers to produce this chilled, rolling cover version that captures the emotion of the track but presents it in an almost electro-acoustic new form. Error: Operator brings his intricate programming which makes for a constantly interesting backing for Lee’s rendition.

♫ Error- Operator (Feat. Harry Lee) – Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode Cover)

Head on over to Error: Operator’s Facebook page to pick up the high quality version of the track for free!

Here we have the brand new reMix of The Drums’ ‘Down By The Water’ by none other than UK SynthPop heroes HURTS.

HURTS bring their, now trademark, bombastic, melancholy ElectroPop to the Indie crew’s track.

Is it just me or does this sound more than a little like HURTS’ ‘Illuminated’?

Titled ‘Volume.1’, the EP is a collection of five arpeggio driven ElectroPop tracks with a House flavour. Take this track, ‘Into The Wild’ featuring Domino on vocals. It’s got a real 80’s vibe complementing it’s TechnoPop backing and that slight hint to melancholy so often found in Scandinavian ElectroPop.

Erasure’s new ‘ A Little Respect’ video

Right, so we told you about Erasure new version of ‘A Little Respect’ earlier this week, but the streaming track was a no go and I didn’t even want to ask for permission to offer the track as a download ‘cos, y’know, its a charity record. A song and a cause that deserve some of your hard earned.

Anyway, you can listen to it now, and, indeed, watch it courtesy of the just released promo clip.

Interestingly, this new ‘HMI Redux’ was mixed by none other than Kap10Kurt!

The ‘HMI Redux’ of ‘A Little Respect’ is out now.

Video: Goose – ‘Can’t Stop Me Now’

Belgian Electro-Rock act Goose are gearing up for the release of their long awaited second album, ‘Synrise’, and are kicking off their return with this, the video for their forthcoming single ‘Can’t Stop Me Now.

True to their Belgian roots, the track is borderline Old School EBM with a modern Electro/ElectroPop slant and will probably find receptive ears amongst fan of The Presets. The EBM arpeggios combined with modern production and anthemic vocals make for a track that’s sure to storm the clubs.

The video was directed by Megaforce.
