Heartbreak reMixes La Roux

There are a few reMixes of La Roux’s forthcoming second single ‘In For The Kill’ knocking around, and there will be more to come I bet, but this one has to be my favourite so far.

No surprise it comes courtesy of Heartbreak, who bring a real, retro, Italo, feel to the table. This really wouldn’t be out of place on a mid-late 80’s dancefloor!

Kinda’ miss the “Ooooo, Ooooo”s though…

Both La Roux and Heartbreak are more than worthy of your attention.

La Roux Killer reMix

LaRoux4

I picked this up over at Nerdy-Frames. It’s a reMix of La Roux’s ‘In For The Kill’ by Australian Dan Aux and, blimey, it’s good!

There’s something really heartfelt about this reMix, it seems to be a perfect compliment to Ely’s vocals. It’s all about the wobbly bass and sweet pads.

thecocknbullkid: new single

thecocknbullkid

Today sees the release of Electro Soulstress thecocknbullkid’s second single ‘I’m Not Sorry’, the follow up to last year’s Metronomy produced ‘On My Own’, on limited edition 7” and download.

‘I’m Not Sorry’ is a slice of poppy brilliance. Cheekily harsh lyrics with a sickly sweet delivery, like a iron fist in a velvet glove, SynthPop style.

Hackney’s Anita Blay A.K.A. thecocknbullkid is going to be very big, very soon.

Have a taster by way of Stuart Ramsay’s pumping reMix.

‘I’m Not Sorry’ is out today on Moshi Moshi Records

Pet Shop Boys: New album track

PetShopBoys2

OK, so most of the British tabloid press isn’t worth wiping your ass on, the likes of The Star and The Sun are lowest common denominator, often scary, mob mentality rubbish but as far as pure, spiteful, hate filled bile goes, The Daily Mail has to take the prize.

What possessed Pet Shop Boys (or rather, their record label) to use The Mail On Sunday to promote their forthcoming album I will never understand. Today’s paper contains a free Pet Shop Boys CD retrospective which also features a new track form the ‘Yes’ album.

‘The Hate Mail’ is notorious for is bigoted, right-wing, reactionary opinions and scare-mongering and would probably be the first in line to jail PSB for being “poofs”, so whoever thought this was some good cross-branding needs to reconsider their career!

So..we’ve taken the bullet…jumped on the grenade…bought right-wing crap so you don’t have to…

The song itself is very good, real classic PSB. Actually, I get a bit of a New Order feeling from the track too. See what you think:

Don’t give a penny of your money to ‘The Hate Mail’, but spend loads on Pet Shop Boys:

Little Boots Vs. Phil Oakey clip!!!

littleboots5

Last week we reported that The Human League’s Phil Oakey would be lending his vocals to a track on Little Boots début album. Well, now you can have yourself a tiny teaser of what that will hold.

♫ Little Boots (Feat. Phil Oakey) – Symmetry (Edit) (Clip) (zShare) (MediaFire)

There’s not much to hear, it cuts off before the chorus, but it is just fantastic to hear Victoria and Phil in the same song. Exiting stuff indeed!

Over on Little Boots’ blog she has posted her thoughts regarding the track listing for the album, which currently stands at:

‘Stuck On Repeat’
‘Meddle’
‘Earthquake’
‘New In Town’
‘Click’
‘Tune Into My Heart’
‘Symetry’ (Feat. Philip Oakey)
‘Not Now’
‘Hearts Collide’

‘Love Kills’ is no great loss but I would like to see ‘Mathematics’ in there.
