Marina And The Diamonds has débuted the next instalment of her ‘Electra Heart’ series of films.
‘Radioactive’ is also slated to be her next single and it’s a proper dancefloor track, more-so that we’d expect from Marina, what with it being full of big late 90’s trace sounds. It’s a good song though, can’t wait for the reMixes.
‘Radioactive’ is released 3rd October’

Here a nice mellow slice of retro Chillwavey ElectroPop to ease you into the week.
‘Gentle Man’ is Jensen Sportag’s latest track is a perfect exercise in smooth 80’s Pop with a modern twist. Part MJ ballad, part spacey Chillwave and part 80’s Pop classic. there’s a hint of early Duran Duran in the music too. These two guys from Nashville certainly know how to craft and absorbing and nostalgic tune.
Jensen Sportag’s ‘Pure Wet’ EP is out now on Cascine.

Peter Godwin‘s 1983 Italo/Pop ‘hit’ ‘Baby’s In The Mountains’. I use the word ‘hit’ loosely, despite it being a classic slice of 80’s electronic Pop it has been largely forgotten.

Futurecop!’s ‘N.A.S.A.’ was one of their first tracks way back when. It’s seen a few incarnations since then and the duo have just released it as a single, via their SoundCloud page.
Featuring the vocals of Christian Rich, who’s worked with the likes of N*E*R*D, Lupe Fiasco and P.Diddy, this version appears to be the same as the one on their absolutely amazing (but unbelievable Japanese only) ‘It’s Forever, Kids’!’ album and it’s about a clean and slick a retro ElectroPop track as you will ever hear. Pure feel good electronic Pop fun. Also included is the buzzsaw Electro of the ‘Lazer reMix’.

They’ve been teasing us for a while now, but here it is. The Australian super Pop duo Sneaky Sound System’s next track from their forthcoming new album.
‘BIG’ follows ‘We Love’ and gives us an idea of what to expect from Black Angus & Miss Connie third album, and first for Modular Recordings, titled, ‘From Here To Anywhere’ . Slick ElectroPop with a bouncy bassline and an epic chorus. Connie Mitchell’s vocals soar over the track proving she is one of the best voices in electronic Pop. Guaranteed to please on the dancefloor, ‘BIG’ is also quite an understated, emotional track too, not as in your face as previous Sneaky Sound System singles. More mature maybe? Awesome stuff nonetheless.

‘From Here To Anywhere’ is due out in October.

Arcadia; what Duran Duran did in 1985 when they got a bit board of tropical beaches. ‘Election Day’ was their biggest hit.

Blancmange‘s ‘Don’t Tell Me’ from 1984. that’s how you make bass heavy, catchy, SynthPop. The beats are all a bit proto-Balearic really.

Yesterday was the queen of Pop, Madonna’s birthday, to celebrate Viceroy + Alkamyme dropped their brand new reMix of ‘Like A Prayer’.
Before I played this track I really didn’t know what to expect. I couldn’t imagine the song reworked into one of Viceroy’s usual beach Disco jams. What he and Alkamyme have delivered instead is an analog bassed ElectroPop slow burner that pays true respect to what is one of the greatest Pop songs ever written. They have crafted a reMix that sits perfectly with the original, it’s understated but infectious.

Darren Hayes, luminary of electronic Pop music, has roped in some awesome talent to reMix his latest single ‘Talk Talk Talk’.
French Touch legend Fred Falke is up first and turns in a fantastic mix. Quite subdued but Falke has caught the mood of the song perfectly. Not going overboard this reMix is a subtle form of French Touch. Never in your face, more walking beside you, Falke’s reMix blends ElectroPop and Nu-Disco so smoothly you’ll feel like you’ve known the song forever. Penguin Prision get’s his more Indie-Disco styled hands on the track and brings his post-BedroomPop groove to the tune, giving it a live and stripped down synth feel and keeping it bouncy.
