One of Foxes’ first tunes, the bombastic ElectroPop of Youth, looks like it’s getting re-released, with a slick new production, as a single in a couple of months. Which we’re OK with, it’s an awesome tune that deserves to be bigger, and it might be with this slick video.
It’s a cool clip, which sees Foxes getting into Hipstervision mode that speaks to the youthfulness of the track.
Foxes’ Youth is released 6th October.

Sooner is the new single from London based Irish SynthPop singer/songwriter Maighréad. Having just been picked up by new label Meon Records, we’re hoping this sees more development being put into Maighréad, who has an amazing voice and personality, both of which which was pretty flatlined by her pervious label with bland production and videos.
Sooner is definitely a step in the right direction. Maighréad’s Billie Ray Martin-esque vocals are given space to shine. Sooner really highlights both Maighréad’s talents as both a singer, and songwriter, an epic, sweeping track with rushes of emotion in the choruses that stay with you after the track’s long finished. Unfortunately the production is still a tiny bit flat, we would love more than anything for Meon Records to hook Maighréad with someone a bit more contemporary, a little less demo-y, we can but hope Meon will give Maighréad their full backing, she deserves it.

The latest track from Seattle based Nu-Disco producer Futurewife comes in the form of this cheeky reMix of London Soulstress Yasmin’s Thinking About You. Proclaiming the track one of his “favorite tracks this year”, we imagine Futurewife couldn’t resist having a crack at the tune. What producer wouldn’t want to get their hands on those vocals?
Thinking About You is originally a cover of the 1985 Whitney Huston hit, which Yasmin more than does justice. With a slight Caron Wheeler inflection to her voice, Yasmin makes for the perfect subject for a sweet Nu-Disco reMix, and Futurewife really steps up to the plate. Bringing a smooth poolside vibe to the track, Futurewife works slick little Disco licks and haunting synth riffs for an atmospheric, but effortlessly funky, vibe. It;s a nice combination of being upbeat enough for the dancefloor and dreamy enough to chill too. Enjoy.

LA based Oliver themed Nu-Disco duo Oliver go especially large with their latest reMix. Inhabiting a mid-way point between their older smoother Dreamwave Nu-Disco style and some of their more recent, more commercial Electro-House output, this reMix of upcoming American Pop singer Bonnie McKee’s ‘American Girl’ could see the guys getting some major attention.
Imagine someone walked up to you and said “here is a catchy, sing-a-long Pop tune that has been reMixed for the big room”, that’s exactly what Oliver have delivered here. Everything is turned up to 11, big synths, big beats, big riffs. This one obviously been geared to appeal to America’s current wave of dance music frenzy, but still retains that classic Oliver ,musicality and soulful flare to give it the edge on the competition.

After two years, here is the eleventh, and final, part of Marina And The Diamonds Electra Heart epic. Electra Heart is the characters swan song which kinda mashes up all the styles on the album. Whilst he hope we get old Marina back now, we have to applaud her for her vision.
The video, like the song, is a reflection on the last two years of Electra Heart’s journey.

Well this is pretty exciting. The queen of UK ElectroPop Little Boots and Norwegian Cosmic Disco master Lindstrøm! That’s a meeting of minds! Lindstrøm is serving up just one of the many reMixes to be featured on Boot’s new single Satellite, which is taken from her amazing second album Nocturnes. To coincide with the single’s release, Boots is also launching a reMix competition for the track, the prize for the most played entry being a Traktor Z1 controller, and one reMix will be picked by Victoria personally to appear on the single release. Get the low down here.
So, to Lindstrøm’s mix. It’s a glorious six minutes of driving tundra Disco, as ecclectic as ever, Hans-Peter rolls in a symphony of synth stabs, organic beats, and bubbling bass notes, and hit just that right note that only he and his Scandinavian peers can. Cosmic, but very down to earth too. Lindstrøm revels in Little Boot’s anthemic vocals and really makes the best of them, never overpowering the vocal melody with his own groove. It’s a good, complimentary, relationship. We can;t wait to see what’s on the rest of the single.

London Electro R&B (now) superstars AlunaGeorge’s début album, Body Music finally hit the shelves this week. It’s a record that should definitely be listened to by all, and a strong contender for album of the year, showcasing in perfect light AlunaGeorge’s unique blend of ElectroPop, R&B, Garage, House and avant-guarde weirdness. Amazing Canadian Disco/House magician Pat Lok has whipped up this tight edit of Body Music album track Outlines, which is actually more of a full on reMix despite Pat’s modesty.
Pat’s Crayola edit serves up Aluna’s sweet vocal with a side helping of big walking Disco bass and a pumping House beat. It’s a playful and deeply funky reMix, pairing that irresistible bassline with cheery Tropical hook and purcussion which give the track an instant outdoor, sunshine vibe. Which, considering that AlunaGeorge are festival darlings, makes Pat Lok’s edit of Outlines the prefect festival anthem. Keep the summer going.
