Aaron Alexis’ ‘Full Moon’

Aaron Alexis

Photographer, Director, Kitsuné collaborator and ElectroPop producer Aaron Alexis has dropped his next track on us.

Continuing his unique take on SynthPop, Aaron’s music is quite and understated. That’s not to say his songs aren’t rich and full tracks, but there is an air of intimacy, of introspection about them. Meticulously crafted, ‘Full Moon’ is impassioned, yet distant, and makes wonderful use of layers of synths and drums to create ElectroPop that is lush, but calming.

Don’t fuck with Penguin Prison’s money

Penguin Prison

It’s been a live favourite for a while now, so ‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ was a good choice of Penguin Prison to tease his forthcoming album.

‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ is such an evolution from his BedroomPop of old. Whist it keep s that intimate, low key vibe, the production is big Disco Funk layered Indie-Electro. This is a true good times anthem, funky and funny. Listening to the studio version it’s easy to understand why this track always goes down so well at shows.

♫ Penguin Prison – Don’t Fuck With My Money

Penguin Prison’s self-titled début album drops 5th September.

It’s a cool, deep, ElectroPop track and the accompanying video is a nicely shot dreamlike narrative.

Purity Ring’s new track

purity ring

It’s been a few months since we featured Canadian deep ElectroPop duo Purity Ring so it’s high time we dropped their third track, ‘Belispeak’.

It’s quite a stunning peice of work, encompassing shuffling Electro 808 beats with moody Minimal Synth-esque sounds and a truly epic vocal performance. There really is something special about the twisted innocence of the vocals working in tandem with haunting synthetics and almost Hip Hop beats.

♫ Purity Ring – Belispeak

‘Belispeak’ will be released on an forthcoming double A-side 7” split with fellow Canadian ElectroPop outfit Braids.

The Scientists Of Modern Music

The single ‘Because If I die’ has been around for a couple of months now but VanGuard give it a new lease of life with their brand of twisted bass Disco. A touch of 80’s, a touch of LA Funk and loads of some of the most meticulously programmed Nu-Disco around with a feel for the dancefloor. That’s how VanGuard roll, add that to The Scientists Of Modern Music’s ElectroPop anthem and you’re onto a winner.

♫ The Scientists Of Modern Music – Because If I Die (VanGuard reMix)

‘Because If I Die’ is the first single from the album ‘A Personal Universe’, out now.

You Love Her Coz She’s Dead’s new album

ylhcsd

You Love Her Coz She’s Dead are releasing their long awaited self-titled record this month. In preparation, get your ears ‘round one of the album tracks, ‘Leap Of Desire I’.

I’m going to come right out and say it, You Love her Coz She’s Dead are better than Crystal Castles. Yes, there are massive similarities in sound, and I don’t care who came first, the fact is YLHCSD write better songs. You can have all the 8-bit noise and distorted shouting in the world but you get major plus points if there is an actual song to back that up, a gold star if it’s catchy. ‘Leap Of Desire I’ is a slightly Dubstep influenced ElectroPunk-out and, here’s the thing, it’s got a good riff, good melodies and catchy vocals. We’re looking forward to this album.

♫ You Love Her Coz She’s Dead – Leap Of Desire I

You Love Her Coz She’s Dead’s album is out on 29th August and Glasstone Records.

Who Killed JR? reMix Heartsrevolution

heartsrevolution

We haven’t seen that many entries for Heartsrevolution’s ‘Teenage Teardrops’ competition yet but with this mix sent to us by South African producer Who Killed JR? the bar is set pretty high.

Completely changing the sound of the track, WKJR? French Touches things up to 11 and sprinkles on a little RoboPop. This track has it all, a funkin’ bassline, jump out of your seat chord stabs, vocoder action and when all wrapped up words really well with Heartsrevolution’s original. Good work Who Killed JR?.
