London four piece Foreign Office’s début single, the Indie-Disco-Pop ditty ‘Leaving The House’ has been given an Italo influenced reMix by east end duo Warrior One.
Like a clash between Italo, ElectroPop and Bleep-House, Warrior One’s mix is all square waves and distorted claps. Pulsating basslines and an infectious melody make this a killer reMix. Check it:

‘Leaving The House’ is out now.
London’s Lovers & Gamblers are the name on the lips of those electronic music fans in the know right now. So far, even being another ‘mystery’ band (or Victoria Hesketh’s DJ crew!) can’t distract from the amazing retro synth work going on here.
Check their reMix of the brilliant Yes Giantess’ current single ‘The Ruins’ which has already seen reMixes from the likes of Fear Of Tigers, Clock Opera and Baby Monster. L&G’s layers of 80’s hits and warm analog bass sounds make for some sweet ElectroPop/Nu-Disco action!

‘The Ruins’ is out now!
The first ‘proper’ track from Robyn’s forthcoming album, ‘Body Talk’, has surfaced.
‘Fembot’ is a genius slice of Electro-Rap-R&B-Dancehall-Acid-Dub Pop. 303 basslines meet pop rap with a Robyn edge. With tracks produced by Diplo and Røyksopp it’s defiantly an album to get exited about.

Robyn will be dropping her Automatic Booty Applications later in the year.

The good folks at Eye Industries sent on over this reMix of Passion Pit’s now classic ‘Sleepyhead’ by Cassette Club in lieu of their début single, ‘4 Me’.
CC’s Ben Macklin and Tom Hammond bring their own brand of feel-good ElectroPop to Passion Pit’s Indie-Electro with results in a type of, almost hands-in-the-air, Electro (it’s a pity hipsters are far to cool for that!) that’s retro enough to make you smile in reminisce but contemporary enough to shake your booty ‘til it falls off!

Cassette Club’s single is out now with a reMix package forthcoming.
We’re still kinda’ reeling over how addictive Penguin Prison’s ‘Something I’m Not’ is and it’s not even out yet!
So a whole mess of reMixes is gonna’ keep us from jonesing for the single for as while, kicking off with (again!) the Cardiff crew, Friends Electric, who seem to be infiltrating electronic rumors on the sly, not that we mind if they keep dropping Electro monsters like this one! Luxury Living go deep into the subs with this heavy dub/80’s Electro hybrid that has a killer payoff toward the end of the track. Finally Krispin Korg gets straight up funky with a New York disco-esq Dreamwave mix.

‘The Worse It Gets’/‘Something I’m Not’ is released 22nd March on Neon Gold.
We’ve already raved about how straight up awesome Kavinsky’s ‘Nightcall’ is, unfortunately there was a little confusion and the track we posted was unmastered so it had to be removed, understandably, leaving you tune free.
So our good friend MMMatthias has stepped up to the plate to save the day and give you something to wrap your ears around until the release of the ‘Nightcall’ EP later this month.
Man, what a reMix he has given us! Still featuring shared vocal duties with Lovefoxxx of CSS it’s a smooth ElectroPop jam with an edge. Loving the builds and drops in his futuristic Pop take on the track.

MMMatthias himeslf is about set of on an Aussie tour with the Trashbags lot, you can check him out here:
9th April – Trashbags, Melbourne
10th April – Trashbags, Sydney
16th April – Empire Hotel, Brisbane
26th March sees the EP drop and the Dead Cruiser rise again!
Right kids, I’ve been pretty ill the last few days so I have all these posts mounting up and tonight they are gonna’ drop. We’ve got a lot to get through, so hold on tight!
So, I can think of no better way to kick things off than with Essex SynthPoppers Relation who are gearing up for the release of the second single from their ‘Fear Of Night’ album.
Relation’s slightly house tinged SynthPop mixes some really early 80’s sounding elements, particularly in the vocals and lead lines (think early Depeche Mode) with modern beats and basslines which makes for a compelling combination. The single, ‘Optimistic’, is a smooth, almost SynthSoul, jam that comes with a meaty reMix package. The Laserdisco mix is a minimal, bass heavy take that verges on Dub. The Diogenes Club provide probably my favourite of the mixes sending the track straight into Disco territory. You know all the Dreamwave tracks your playing in your Ferrari driving through the city streets at night? Well, this is the track they are playing at the club you’re heading to! Eat More Cake attack the track from left field with some world music atmospherics that somehow actually compliment the vocals.

It’s nice to see such a varies bunch of reMixes!
‘Optimistic’ is released 26th April on Urban Torque
The second Jocks reMix of the day!
This time it’s ElectroPop act Ou Est Le Swimming Pool who get the treatment with their brand new single ‘These New Knights’. In the last 12 months Ou Est have gone from SynthPop obscurity to having a huge hit in the form of ‘Dance The Way I Feel’ and a string of high profile live shows. ‘These New Knights’ is a precursor to their début album, scheduled for a June release. Jocks gives us a poppy yet heavy electro workout of the single.

‘These New Knights’ is released later this month.
