It’s not Lady GaGa’s best song, but it is her new single, and it is elevated to the lofty heights of ‘fucking awesome’ by Swedish SynthPop masters The Sound of Arrows.

‘Alejandro’ is given a complete, smooth SynthPop makeover the way only The Sound Of Arrows can becoming a slice of pure 80’s Pop with the lightest touch of Nu-Disco!

♫ Lady GaGa – Alejandro (The Sound Of Arrows reMix)

The Sound Of Arrows reMix is currently available on ‘The reMix’ and is part of the ‘Alejandro’ single, released 15th June.

LIGHTS’ new video

LIGHTS had dropped the video for her forthcoming single ‘Second Go’ off of her ‘The Listening’ album.

Apparently filmed all in one take! I gotta’ say, I love the 80’s-esq riff in this track.

She’s touring in the UK right now, next weekend sees her Bristol début at the Dot-To-Dot festival. Good times!

‘The Listening’ is out now.

Robyn’s ‘Dancing On My Own’ video

We’re really digging Robyn’s forthcoming single ‘Dancing On My Own’, with its amazing reMix package, the Swedish ElectroPop bundle of insanity (need new Robyn based ‘madness’ adjectives!) has finally débuted the video clip for the track.

It’s Robyn meet’s mid-80’s clips in a head on collision, complete with big hair and not quite dance moves and I swear at one point she attempts the classic James Bond not-so-convincingly-pretending-to-be-making-out-with-someone-by-wrapping-my-arms-round-my-back-and-wobbling-my-head trick!

‘Dancing On My Own’ is an awesome single, be sure to pick it up when it drops.

Jeremy Glenn

Toronto’s Jeremy Glenn is a purveyor or neo-Electro-Soul and one time DāM-FunK collaborator who is gearing up for the release of his début single on YYZ Records next week.

The single is reminiscent of mid-80’s chart soul (at least here in the UK) with that pre-House dance groove and comes with an exiting reMix package including these two by DVAS and Panic Bomber. It’s been a while since we heard anything form DVAS but their reMix is a welcome return as they Disco things right up with a dancefloor destroying bassline. Panic Bomber get a bit more noisy with their take on the track, pushing the distorted synths and disco sirens.

‘Mysterious Lover’ is released next Tuesday and features further reMixes from Lucy Lo and Modern Artifacts, both of with are defiantly worth a listen!

Fotonovela reMix Groove Armada

Groove Armada

Fotonovela stopped by the electronic rumors inbox to drop off their latest reMix, of Groove Armada’s recent single featuring the vocals of Ben from Fenech-Soler and SaintSaviour, ‘Paper Romance’.

Fotonovela are a Greek duo who hail from the Undo stable alongside Marsheaux, and as with their label-mates they are masters of ElectroPop.

The reMix a pretty awesome retro synth workout. It’s a good song anyway but the pair add a cool arpeggiated late-80’s SynthPop vibe to it. The more I listen to it the more I’m digging it, the chords in the chorus and the sparkling lead lines remind me so much of the Pop I grew up with without sounding dated at all. I’ll defiantly be keeping my eye on Fotonovela.

Rox

Rox is a 22 year old half Jamaican, half Iranian singer/songwriter currently signed to Rough Trade and making waves on the live music scene.

Her forthcoming single ‘I Don’t Believe’ has had reMix treatments from the Electro-House and Dubstep ends of the electronic music spectrum by Don Diablo and Landlord respectively. Diablo’s take on the track builds, on top of the Roots elements, a 2-step Electro track that will have you groovin’ wherever you hear it while Landlord expertly crafts a deep, dark bass monster.

I gotta’ say, the Don Diablo mix is one of my favourite tracks of the week!

Rox’s début album, ‘Memoirs’ is out soon and her current single ‘My Baby Left Me’ is available now.

I Am Noxious’s video for ‘This Is A Ballad’

After a slight battle with the technicalities of YouTube, which he documented on his Twitter feed, London’s BedroomPop rising star I Am Noxious has dropped this self-made video for his track ‘This Is A Ballad’.

Atmospheric in it’s simplicity it just goes to show that with enough vision you don’t need a budget to create something visually interesting and fitting to the music.

Other unsigned bands should take note! And everyone else should check I Am Noxious’s MySpace.

LIGHTS; new single in the UK

LIGHTS02

Every time I post about LIGHTS I feel like I should disclose certain information. ElectroPop, Keytars, Hot Girls and Canada are four of my favourite things in the world. Kinda’ makes me powerless to resist…

In her continuing battle to break the UK, LIGHTS releases her second single this side of the Atlantic, ‘Saviour’. Although the track itself is quite old (in the US at least) Owl City’s Adam Young has dropped a brand new reMix of it which is very like the original but with added Owl City sparkle and Adam’s highly AutoTuned vocals sneaking in the background.

♫ LIGHTS – Saviour (Adam Young (Owl City) reMix) (Sharebee) (MediaFire)

‘Saviour’ is released in the UK on 10th May.

Soul II Soul reMixed by Monsieur Adi

SoulIISoul

I’m seriously lovin’ this! I’ve always felt that Soul II Soul’s 1989 classic ‘"Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)’ have never, ever, been given a good, proper contemporary reMix. Until now!

Italian electro-House dude Monsieur Adi has put together this awesome reMix described by the man himself as “a super clash of baroque and electro” which accounts for the harpsichord/Nu-Disco mash up that really works the original in a way that makes every previous attempt to reMix it seem, well, just lazy.

Clock Opera reMixes Marina

Clock Opera really does something original and awesome with Marina And The Diamonds’ new single, the re-release of ‘I am not A Robot’.

Utilising Marina’s unique voice in a way no other reMixer has really grasped, using it as an instrument, Clock Opera weave it in and out of their piano and strings backing creating something beautiful, epic and still danceable.
