New Little Boots reMixes (in town)

Little Boots by Suki Dhanda

‘New In Town’ is possibly my favourite Little Boots song, especially live, so I’m pleased to see some reMixes starting to rear their heads.

Here we have two mixes First up is Fred Falke who turns in a fast Disco House rework, maybe a little to sped up if I’m honest. The second attempt is by Institubes’ Drop The Lime who turns up the bass to 11.

Parralox, human after all

parralox

Parralox, currently Australia’s finest purveyors of pure SynthPop, have dropped a new track on their MySpace.

‘I Am Human’ is the second song recorded for Parralox’s forthcoming new album and shows a more upbeat side to the band.

♫ Parralox – I Am Human (zShare) (MediaFire)

You should go check out Parralox’s first album, the amazing ‘Electricity’, right about…now!

Marina And The Diamonds

marinaandthediamonds So…everyone’s talking about Marina And The Diamonds, I gotta say at first I was pretty resistant but the more I listen the more it appeals to the part of me that loves Tori Amos, at least on this track, ‘Obsessions’ she does, elsewhere the tracks are more upbeat and new wave influenced.

But it’s the reMixes that really shine. Here Pinkstallone deliver a cool, 80’s sounding, laid back Italo reMix with a rolling synth bass groove and The Aspirins For My Children up the Electro-ante with their interpretation.

A couple of new videos

Busy day today, you you can entertain yourselves with two new videos that have made their début this week.

First up is the poptastic clip for Frankmusik‘s forthcoming single ‘Better Off As Two’.

Also, we have the space invader fuelled video for Røyksopp‘s now on ‘Happy Up Here’. Directed by Reuben Sutherland, this is, like most of Røyksopp’s videos, something special.

Normal service will resume.

Phil Oakey gets around

philoakey1

News has broken this week that, Electro legend, The Human League’s Phil Oakey will be providing guest vocals for two SynthPop superstars.

First up, Pet Shop Boys have confirmed that Philip will be will appear on ‘This Used To Be The Future’ which will be on the limited edition 2 CD version of their forthcoming album, ‘Yes’.

Oakey has also recorded a duet, entitled ‘Symmetry’, with none other than Electro girl-of-the-moment Little Boots! It will appear on her, soon to be released, album. Apparently Phil approached Victoria after hearing her ‘funtime’ cover of ‘Don’t You Want Me’ on YouTube.

I love Phil’s vocals, he may not be the best singer in the world but he has a tone that lends itself perfectly to everything he does.

Both of these collabarations with top Electro acts have me salivating…can’t wait!

Depeche Mode premiere ‘Wrong’ video

Depeche Mode have just premièred the video for the eagerly awaited upcoming single ‘Wrong’.

It’s a slightly creepy, intense mini movie. I love DM’s ‘cameo’ appearance.

Actually, I really like the song. Some of the synths in there sound like ”Masses’ or ‘Violator’ Mode. Maybe it’s true, maybe we have got the old Mode back.

Where’s Alan?

Here?

Preston Park

prestonpark

Sometimes I hate MySpace, whilst it is possibly the best tool on the Internet for discovering new music you have to wade through so much shite, so much mediocre, uninspired bollocks it drives you mad.

And sometimes I love MySpace when it throws up gems like Preston Park.

With the kind of spacey, funky ElectroPop Preston makes I can’t believe he’s not signed.

Check out a couple of tracks.

♫ Preston Park – The Thrill (Demo.) (zShare) (MediaFire)

There’s more on his MySpace
