New Midnight Juggernauts reMixes

MidnightJuggernauts

It’s been a while since Midnight Juggernauts released ‘This New Technology’ and we’re glad to say the band are preparing to return with a brand new single, titled ‘Vital Signs’, on their own label, Siberia Records, in April.

So, to keep you going until then we’ve got a couple of recent reMixes of ‘This New Technology’ for you. First up is, no stranger to electronic rumors, Ccenturiess and the sweet rolling bassline of their Disco Funk mix. In quite stark contrast is the B-side to the limited edition ‘This New Technology’ 7” on Acephale, a dungeon & bass (heh!) remix by Babe Rainbow that fills your speakers with haunting sounds and a bowel loosening bassline!

Midnight Juggernauts’ new single, ‘Vital Signs’, is released digitally on 9th April.

Two Door Cinema Club Vs. Ted & Francis at the beach!

TwoDoorCinemaClub03

Kitsuné’s Irish boys Two Door Cinema Club are re-releasing their single ‘Something Good Can Work’ with a proper push this time, it’s the prefect summer Indie tune. It’s feel good and anthemic in an understated way.

Part of the reMix package will be this track by fellow Kitsunérs Ted & Francis who take that perfect summer Indie tune and dish it up for the ElectroPop crowd, it’s still a fun, sing-along, chilled piece of work but now comes with added Disco bassline, quirky lead and handclaps before dropping you in the middle of the best Electro beach party you’ve ever been to!

‘Something Good Can Work’ is out very soon, you can catch the video here.

New Delorean single

Delorian

Spanish SynthPop outfit Delorean have recently announced their signing with True Panther records along with a new single and début full-length album.

Gaining some recognition with their EP ‘Ayrton Senna’ (leading to offers to support Miike Snow on tour) Delorean have quite an eagerly awaited record on their hands.

‘Stay Close’ will be the first single form the album, ‘Subzia’, and it’s an upbeat, quite Lo-Fi, slice of summery SynthPop with a Hot Chip-esq lead line and loads of reverby backing vocal acrobatics!

♫ Delorean – Come Wander (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Subiza’ is planned for an 8th June release.

Gypsy And The Cat

GypsyAndTheCat

I’ve only just stumbled across Gypsy And The Cat, despite them being around for a while now. They have a track on the forthcoming Kitsuné Maison compilation which prompted me it dig a little deeper.

The Australian duo had a bit of blog attention last autumn with the track ‘Jona Vark’, a sweet, chilled, acoustic guitar/Dreamwave clash. Lazy comparisons to Empire Of The Sun seemed to have cropped up on most of the blogs who wrote about them but beyond the use of rich synths and acoustic guitar I think Gypsy And The Cat have a style all of their own.

Both that tune and ‘’Til Tomorrow’ are dreamy summertime Pop songs that show both depth of emotion and a cheeky sense of humour and some laidback soulful electronics.

Gypsy And The Cat are planning to release their début album this year, hopefully in time for summer!

Penguin Prison; The Worse It Gets

PenguinPrison04

It’s hard to say which is better between Penguin Prison’s ‘Something I’m Not’ and this track, it’s B-Side, ‘The Worse It Gets’. ‘Something I’m Not’ is more infectious, but this track is more upbeat and poppy. Tough call!

Listen for yourself, along with these two remixes by R.A.C. (reMix Artists Collective) who give the track a lightweight funky overhaul and minimal neo-classical electro artist ELOF who turns the track into a cute Lo-Fi SynthPop masterpiece.

EgyptianHipHop

If you read a few music blogs you’ll have probably heard from Radiant Dragon before, and have heard his chilled out yet dancey spaced out tracks.

Here he’s reMixed Egyptian Hip Hop’s début single ‘Wild Human Child’ creating an infections, chaotic, but also, beautiful electronic soundtrack.

Fenech-Soler + ZX

Fenech-Soler03

UK Electro outfit ZX stopped by the electronic rumors Inbox recently to drop off their reMix of their friends, Fenech-Soler’s, track ‘L.A. Love’.

It’s an interesting reMix, both bright & melodic and deep & dirty at the same time. Taking the soaring retro lead lines of Dreamwave and mashing them into big Ed Banger-esq distorted synths ZX have produced a pretty quality slice of Electro Noise-Pop.

♫ Fenech-Soler – L.A. Love (ZX Club Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

You can head their sound defined on these couple of original tracks, again walking the line between distorted French-House and smooth retro Dreamwave. Defiantly a name to keep an eye on.

Cassette Club reMix Passion Pit

PassionPit03

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.
