David E. Sugar new single

David E. Sugar’s third single from his ‘Memory Store’ album is on it’s way.

‘Fingers On The Button’ is quintessential Sugar, toytown synths and an Indie sensibility mix up to produce a really personal, yet quite dancey tune. David has had his hand in so many different styles of ElectroPop before reaching the place where he is now, and that experience and influence was such a benefit to an amazing album and it’s singles.

♫ David E. Sugar – Fingers On The Button

‘Fingers On The Button’ is released 13th June on Sunday Best.

Bon Accord’s new EP

Bon Accord is Michael Wright, a Hackney based producer of spacey DreamPop, he’s just released a new EP, for free!

With the ‘True Delusion’ EP Michael effortlessly walks the line between BedroomPop and Chillwave, and makes it his own by sprinkling it with snatches of UK and 90’s House. The four tacks on the EP are reverb drenched slices of electronic beauty. Dreamlike and emotional, track like ‘Glazed’ and ‘True Delusion’ wash over you and carry you away in their intertwining melodies and distant vocals.

Magnifik ‘Behaving Badly’

Australian producer Ashley Feraude A.K.A. Magnifik has just released his ‘Behaving Badly’ single and it’s backed up by some stellar reMixes.

The first of which, coincidentally, comes from awesome fellow Aussies, the Indie-Disco outfit Get Stellar, who we haven’t heard from in a while, who turn in a classy piece of synth-Funk fuelled Electro with a slightly 90’s edge to it. A proper dancefloor starter. Nightriders bring a deep Disco groove to the table with their mix, designed for chilled summer nights. Defiantly a reMix bundle worth investing in.

TEED’s ‘Trouble’ video

Here’s the brand new video for Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs’ current single ‘Trouble’.

Gemini Club’s ‘Future Tidings’ EP

Chicago’s kings of Indie-Electro kings Gemini Club recently released their ‘Future Tidings’ EP which you can now pick up for free on SoundCloud (or, y’know, buy it if you like supporting music).

The EP is a frantic, synth driven juggernaut. The energy levels are high in these five tracks that prove once and for all that synths can rock your ass off. Gemini Club keep it funky at all times but manage to make in-your-face, jump up Indie, funky. Mashing up synths with guitar and bass, Gemini Club boarder on ElectroPunk at times with this EP yet always produce track that would go down a storm on the dancefloor.

autoKratz cover New Order

Following on from their team up with New Order’s Peter Hook for their last single ‘Becoming The Wraith’, autoKratz had paid tribute to their collaborator by covering on of my favourite New Order tracks, ‘Temptation’.

It’s a nice update to the original. A pretty straight cover with a kicking beat added and a touch of modern production to bring the song into the 21st century. It’s hard to imagine anyone other than Bernard Sumner singing ‘Temptation’ but autoKratz’ David Cox’s vocals lend themselves really well to the track. I’m loving all the New Order connections autoKratz are pulling out in the run up to their new album, ’Self help For Beginners’, being release. If the album has this kind of vibe then it could be something special indeed.

The Scientists Of Modern Music

Australian Indie-ElectroPop duo The Scientists Of Modern Music have just released the first single from their forthcoming second album.

‘Because If I Die’ is a pretty impressive way to bust onto the scene. Sitting steadfast within the Aussie ElectroPop sound, The Scientists hold their own amongst their contemporaries. The likes of Empire Of The Sun, Strange Talk, Tim & Jean, Bag Raiders, Gypsy & The Cat, Miami Horror, Midnight Juggernauts and Get Stellar have carved out a particular sound, you can tell when an ElectroPop band is Australian. There’s an Indie backing, big cosmic synths and glammy vocals and TSOMM have got that sound down pat. Slick, well produced and catchy these guys could soon rise to the top of the Aussie ElectroPop game

♫ The Scientists Of Modern Music – Because If I Die

‘Because If I Die’ is the first single from the upcoming album ‘A Personal Universe’ out this month.

Baby Monster third album preview

It’s the third week of Baby Monster previewing tracks from their forthcoming début album!

The tracks are getting spacier and spacier, ‘Mr. Success’ sees Baby Monster rocking a Chillwave vibe, again, amongst their ElectroPop with layers of reverb soaked sounds. There’s actually quite an 80’s influence to this track you can pick out from the waves of Electro Shoegaze, the lead line is pure 80’s Pop. Really looking forward to this record!
