Depeche Mode Vs. Love On Laserdisc

On 7th December Depeche Mode will release the double A-side single of ‘Fragile Tension’ and ‘Hole To Feed’ which will include a whole host of reMixes including contributions from Laidback Luke, Hervé, Popof and Peter Bjorn And John.

Kris Menace also steps up for reMix duties both as himself and in his Love On Laserdisc guise. We were really impressed with LoL’s début EP and here they provide one of the best Depeche Mode reMixes for a long time (DM reMixes can be a bit hit and miss!).

New Le Corps Mince De Françoise single on Kitsuné

Le Corps Mince De Françoise are about to release their first single for Kitsuné Music. ‘Something Golden’ originally appeared on the 8th volume of the Kitsuné Maison series and now the crazy Electro girls are set to deliver a package with some killer reMixes.

Zebra & Snake and Renaissance Man both take what is quite a disjointed song (true to LCMDF’s style!) and work it into their individual dance grooves, although both reMixes have an individuality and edge that is fitting for a LCMDF track!

La Roux Vs. The Subs

The Subs have had a good couple of years, with the release of their first album ‘Subculture’ on Lektroluv and a host of 12”’s and remixes.

They round off this year with a reMix of one of my favourite racks from La Roux’s self-titled début, ‘Colourless Colour’. They completely change the vibe of the track, making it more frantic which adds an urgency to Elly’s vocals

it will be interesting to see if ‘colourless Colour’ will be the next single, after the re-release of ‘Quicksand’.

Fan Death chilled out by Ghost Hunter

I love ‘Reunited’, it’s one of my most played tracks this month, i seriously can’t wait for Fan Death’s ‘A Coin In The Well’ EP that the track is taken from.

To tide us over, have a listen to this reMix of ‘reunited’ by Sheffield based Electronica artist Ghost Hunter. Dragging Fan Death into strange new places, Ghost Hunter morphs Fan Death’s moody disco into moody electronic soundscapes. Nice use of the lead line!

‘A Coin In The Well’ is due out January 4th 2010 (yes, again, i will inform you that this is my birthday!!!):

Marsheaux

Greece’s undisputed queens of SynthPop, Marsheaux, have just got back from promoting their third album ‘Lumineux Noir’ here in the UK.

Released in September ‘Lumineux Noir’ possible the highest point in the Modern SynthPop right now. The clean pop production of the album just highlights the girls modern take on a retro sound, like old songs played on new instruments.

We previously raved about the track ‘Breakthrough’ when it first saw the light of day, but if you’re still not convinced check out another couple of tracks from the record:

♫ Marsheaux – Summer (zShare) (MediaFire)

…and now go buy! ‘Lumineux Noir’ is released by Undo Records.

New PNAU reMix

Old track, still a class tune though. PNAU’s ‘Embrace’, with Pip Brown on vocals, has been given a 2009 soup up by Swede Fredrick Carlsson.

Still just as epic, still gives you goosebumps, just with added pump!

‘embrace’ was from PNAU’s 2008 self-titled album.

Penguin Prison reMixed by Monarchy

Neon Gold certainly live up to their name, time and time again they churn out top act after top act.

Here we have a reMix of ‘A Funny Thing’ by London Indie-Synthsters Monarchy who make the track just that little bit deeper.

Stopmakingme warps Little Boots

We haven’t had a Little Boots for a while, i thought there’d be more reMixes of ‘Earthquake’ knocking around! I’m glad this one found it’s way to us though!

London’s Stopmakingme just plain go weird synth crazy on this track It’s a dark, schizophrenic, random mix using some beautiful synth sounds!

Name The Pet

Sweeden’s once again at the forefront of ElectroPop jams. Name The Pet is Hanna Brandén who has just dropped her self-titled début album.

Wonky Pop and quirky vocals are the order of the day here. It’s decidedly poppy, but comes across heavier with one foot always square on the dancefloor with touches of Acid and Nu-Disco.

Check it out and see what you think:
