Southern Shores

Sit back, relax and fall in love with the music of Southern Shores.

The latest signing to the amazing Cascine, Southern Shores are about to release their début EP, ‘Atlantic’, a collection of six dreamy chilled ElectroPop tunes. Not really reverb drenched wall-of-sound enough to truly be Chillwave but the ‘Atlantic’ EP retains a Chillwave vibe while rooting the music in the late 80’s/early 90’s eclectic Pop sound that is fast becoming Cascine’s trademark. Throughout the EP the vast array of instrumentation and vocal styles pepper each track with a signature sound of it’s own while all six tunes blend into one tropical, escapist fantasy EP. The first single from the EP, ‘Night Is Young’ is the kind of track you’d hear in a House club in your dreams. Intricately crafted, layers of samples roll over one another washing and through a solid backing. Now summer is truly here, Souther Shores arrived just in time.

♫ Southern Shores – Night Is Young

The ‘Atlantic’ EP is out 12th July.

The Touch’s ‘Sermon’

The Touch’s ‘Sermon’ was first heard on Kitsuné’s 11th Maison album and now Kitsuné Music are giving it a full single release.

This young quartet from Sweeden’s début single is a dark, almost avant-garde ElectroPop tune with introspective vocals driving along by a heartbeat kick drum. Coming very much from the The Knife end of Scandinavian ElectroPop The Touch’s abstract use of synths and melody come together to form a really listenable experience. The single will also contain reMixes from Chad Valley, Renaissance Man, Seekae, Cosmonaut and DJ Nibc.

♫ The Touch – Sermon

‘Sermon’ is released 11th July.

RüFüS reMix Elizabeth Rose

Elizabeth Rose is an Australian electronic singer/songwriter who makes beautiful, dreamy electronic music in a similar vein to Fever Ray and Björk.

Originally fellow Aussie trio RüFüS set out to reMix Elizabeth’s track ‘Stars Ago’ but ended up in full blown collaboration with the singer who re-recorded her vocals in duet with RüFüS for a more dancefloor oriented track. RüFüS are seriously showing themselves as a force to be reckoned with here, both the production and arrangement in this version are pretty flawless and the sound palette with it’s layers of synth lines that seem to weave in and out of one another, mirroring the duelling vocals, is an electronic music fan’s dream.

♫ Elizabeth Rose – Stars Ago (RüFüS reMix)

Here’s the original tune. It’s a really nice, chilled piece but you can see just how different RüFüS’ version ended up being.

RüFüS are gearing up for their forthcoming EP release on On The Fruit Records

Housse De Racket’s ‘Roman’

Housse De Racket are giving away the first track from their forthcoming album as a taste of what’s to come.

Their second album, ‘Alesia’ is coming in August and whilst we can’t wait, ‘Roman’ will have to tide us over. It’s a powerful Indie-Electro tune bristling with gangly guitar and huge, huge, synths. Driving energy and anthemic vocals bode really well for the new record.

♫ Housse De Racket – Roman

Housse De Racket’s second album is due out 22nd August on Kitsuné Music.

VHS Or Beta’s new track

VHS Or Beta have announced the details of their forthcoming fourth album, to be titled ‘Diamonds & Death’ and released later this year.

The first track from the record is ‘I Found A Reason’ a surprisingly synth based track loaded with Disco groove and House piano wrapped up in a pretty smooth ElectroPop package. Evidently influenced by founders Craig Pfunder and Mark Palgy relocation to Brooklyn this album looks like it will see the band take on more of a New York Disco vibe.

‘Diamonds & Death’ is due for release 27th September.

Ursa Minor (Little Bear)

Ursa Minor (Little Bear) are a London based outfit consisting of Little Bear, Yoshee, Evee and KTP who set about creating a kind of live, House influenced, synthesizer soundscape.

It’s really hard to pigeonhole Ursa Minor (Little Bear), I can definitely hear a root in the heyday of 90’s House and, more specifically, DancePop but they have taken that basis and moved it to a raw, live place. Like a garage Dance act there is an excitement, and urgency, about the real drumming and analog synth riffs and something almost freeform and jazzy in the musicianship. All this makes for a cosmic and compelling backing for the Post-Punky vocals. This is space age stuff but at the same time really down to Earth and, in a world of machine beats and quantized riffs, really human.

Penguin Prison ‘Multi-Millionaire’ reMix package for free

Penguin Prison had dropped a whole package of awesome reMixes of his ‘Multi-Millionaire’ single for free on his website.

This bundle of Mixes not appearing on the forthcoming single includes work from Graphics, Prince Language, Random Elements, Robert Owens and this track from Lancelot who brings a nervous synth line and some deep Electro grooves to the track, it’s my personal favourite of the set.
