Filthy Dukes’ rhythm

filthydukes

9th March is a date for your diary, ‘cos that’s when Filthy Dukes‘ ‘This Rhythm’ comes out, and its seriously good.

Featuring Late Of The Pier‘s Sam Dust on vocals ‘This Rhythm’ is a huge slice of 80’s influenced ElectroPop. Sam’s vocals are the perfect counterpoint to Filthy Dukes Numanoid disco.

ReMix duties are covered by Emperor Machine, Toddla T & Fred Falke.

WestEndGirls drop Pet Shop Boys penned track

westendgirls

Seriously, what’s not to like about WestEndGirls?

For starters Isabelle is the daughter of Hans Erkendahl from The Mobile Homes, that makes them SECOND GENERATION SYNTHPOP!!! Who’d have thunk such a thing would ever exist?

Secondly, crazy dresses Swedish girls covering, exclusively, Pet Shop Boys songs…duh?!?!

Well, ‘covering, exclusively, Pet Shop Boys songs’, until recently. Now the girls are ready to release an original tune…written by Pet Shop Boys, how convenient! The track was originally going to be part of PSB’s 2001 musical ‘Closer to Heaven’ but never made it.

You can tell it’s a Tennant track, but I get a Depeche Mode vibe for it as well. See what you think.

‘A Little Black Dress’ is released on 9th February, and the girls last album, which is all Pet Shop, all the time, is still available.

CHEW LiPS

chewlips1

London ElectroPop heroes CHEW LiPS get their first 12″, ‘Solo’, released by Kitsuné Music on the 23rd March.

Kinda’ like Crystal Castles joined by Peter Hook and Róisín Murphy, CHEW LiPS’ rise from ‘just formed’ to ‘getting bigged up by BBC radio and signed to Kitsuné’ has been sickeningly fast 😉 . All deserved though!

CHEW LiPS are yet to début, but when they do I’m sure you will be able to pick up their stuff at the usual spots.

Dirty, dirty Internetz!!!! Gone and leaked the new Pet Shop Boys single everywhere!

PopJustice have been bigging up the forthcoming album, ‘Yes’, for a while now and if they are to be believed, it’s a serious return to form.

Decide for yourself by wrapping your ear holes round the single, ‘Love Etc…’:

Røyksopp Vs. Boys Noize

royksopp2

I’m sure everyone is eagerly awaiting Røyksopp‘s new album. What better, to tide you over, than ElectroPop’s most chilled noodlers having their latest single ravaged by ElectroHouse beasts Boys Noize and turned into an Acid monster!

Calm yourself with some of this:

Ladyhawke: Back to Paris!

ladyhawke2

Pip’s back! Well…re-released anyway, with a shit-load of new reMixes.

On March 2nd Modular Recordings re-release Ladyhawke‘s ‘Paris Is Burning’ on 7″ and digital with piles of new reMixes by such names as Matthew Dekay, Simmons & Christopher and Innerpartysystem. The digital format also includes that cover of Britney Spears’ ‘Womanizer’.

Try this taster of the Simmons & Christopher mix for size.

Suits you sir?

In a break from tradition the cover features a dog (or wolf?) rather than the usual cats…I get the feeling she’s fucking with us!

You don’t need me to harp on about how good Ladyhawke’s début album is again…it just is!

Pip gotta’ eat y’all:

Tigersapien

tigerapien

What do humanoid tigers do when they’re not tearing it up at strip joints?

They make badass punky ElectroPop, that’s what!

I’m really digging Tigersapien, poppy but with a raw edge and dancefloor credentials…and they’re Tigers who like strippers, what’s not to like?

Here’s two tracks from their self released EP called…er…’EP’, which they disseminated throughout various blogs and social networks.

♫ Tigersapien – Youth & Vitality (zShare) (MediaFire)

♫ Tigersapien – Right Angles (zShare) (MediaFire)

Go give these big cats some love:

La Roux new video

larouxvid

A long weekend partying in Bristol coupled with the worst snowstorm to hit London in a gazillion years mean I really can’t be bothered to post much today, sorry folks. I have some good shit I wanna’ blog this week, just not today.

In the meantime you can clock this video for La Roux‘s new single ‘In For The Kill’. This track took me a little longer to get into than ‘Quicksand’ but I love the chorus now.

Those cheeky chappies at Universal have disabled embedding on the video for some reason so you’ll have to go to the inconvenience of visiting a whole-nother site to view it.

If you haven’t already, ‘Quicksand’ can be bought here:
