Marsheaux reMixes Sally Shapiro
Out favourite Greek SynthPop girls Marsheaux have taken on Swedish DiscoPop heroine Sally Shapiro (and that Agebjörn bloke) for their latest reMix.
‘Jackie Jackie (Spend This Winter With Me)’get a classic SynthPop makeover with an Italo twist. Clean and crisp synth sounds in Marsheaux’s modern-retro style, taking influence from early 80’s SynthPop and mid-80’s Italo, pile up in their reMix which retains the introspective nature of the original but adds a few layers of electronics.
♫ Sally Shapiro – Jackie Jackie (Spend This Winter With Me) (Marsheaux reMix)
‘Jackie Jackie (Spend This Winter With Me)is taken from Sally Shapiro’s album ‘Disco Romance’; out now.

Masters Of The Radio’s new track
Cheshire SynthPoppers Masters Of The Radio are back with a brand new track.
Their first new tune for a few months, ‘Easy Now’ show they haven’t been sitting on their hands this past while. The production on ‘Easy Now’ is a lot slicker than previous offerings boding well for their forthcoming début EP ‘The Pleasure Age’. The song itself is more of Masters Of The Radio’s authentic sounding retro SynthPop. With their early Mute sound, the sound of vintage drum machines, analog drones and post-punk vocals. ‘Easy Now’ adds a catchy anthemic chorus to the mix that’ll get stuck in your head for days.

Monarchy’s ‘Around The Sun’ album
Monarchy’s highly anticipated album, now titled ‘Around The Sun’, finally (a year later) will see the light of day this month.
It’s hard to imagine that ‘Gold In The Fire’, Monarchy’s début, was released January last year swiftly followed by the jaw droopingly good ‘The Phoenix Alive’, a full length album was promised soon after and although teasers leaked out no album appeared. Yet, here we are, over twelve months later and less that a week away from being able to own a copy of Monarchy’s album.
So, to get you pumped, the duo have released two ElectroPop gems to wet your appetite. ‘Jealous Guy’ is a slick, mid-tempo, slice of SynthPop with an almost Pet Shop Boys-esque, dry, British, sense of humour. it;’s a dense track, multi-layer and impressive with a bit of a cinematic feel, musically. Monarchy’s forthcoming single will be ‘Maybe I’m Crazy’, which is definite single material. An rousing, sweeping example of electronic Pop perfection with an anthemic quality that’s hard to ignore.

‘Maybe I’m Crazy’ will be the next single, with reMixes from Michael Woods, Azari & III, Diskjokke, amongst others.

Goin’ Old School: Thomas Dolby – She Blinded Me With Science
Thomas Dolby, occasional unsung hero of SynthPop. The man needs more recognition. ‘She Blinded Me With Science’, his 1982 breakthrough tune, is still a classic. Also, Magnus Pyke getting down!
