Tesla Boy’s ‘Rebecca’ drops today

From today you can pick yourself up the new EP by Russia ElectroPop kings Tesla Boy on Mullet Records.

Over the past two years tesla Boy have shown themselves to be right at the top of the Dreamwave sounding ElectroPop game and last years ‘Modern Thrills’ was one of our top 20 albums of the 2010.

Taken from that album, ‘Rebecca’ is a fantastic choice of a single and perfectly showcases Tesla Boy’s emotional take on Nu-Disco.

Check the video:

The ‘Rebecca’ EP is out right now as a Juno exclusive and hits other retailers 7th February.

Tesla Boy’s new single

This week saw the release of Russia’s ElectroPop/Dreamwave heroes Tesla Boy’s new single ‘Thinking Of You’, the second from their début album ‘Modern Thrills’.

We’ve been following Tesla Boy’s career for a while as, frankly, they are making some of the best SynthPop on the planet right now, and it’s good to see them with proper releases and proper videos (thanks to Mullett Records) ‘cos they really are a band that suits videos.

The prime example of that is the video for ‘Thinking Of You’ which was directed by Yoram Benz.

The single also features reMixes from Baxter, MAM and Casio Social Club but it’s the original version that is the real standout for me it’s a super slick melting pot of SynthPop, Nu-Disco, ElectroPop and Dreamwave that contains just the right amount of each.

The ‘Thinking Of You’ single and the Tesla Boy’s début album ‘Modern Thrills’ are both available now.

Tesla Boy reMix Anoraak

Valerie collective staple Anoraak and Russia’s Tesla Boy are both electronic rumors favourites, so the idea of one reMix the other seems just to good to be true, but here it is!

Anoraak’s ‘Nightdrive With You’ hasn’t left my MP3 player since it was released last year, alone with it’s multitude of reMixes, here Tesla Boy do something a bit different, bringing some funky guitars and more of a classic Disco Funk vibe to the ElectroPop tune.

Compare it to the original, those opening keys still send shivers up my spine!

Tesla Boy

TeslaBoy

Tesla Boy hail from Moscow and make some sweet Vocal Electro-House with a strong ElectroPop strain running through it.

This isn’t 80’s influenced SynthPop, this is 80’s SynthPop, just accidently made in the wrong century. Fantastic FM synth leadlines layer over warm analog bass and drums to compliment Anton Sevidov’s smooth soul vocals.

Tesla Boy are currently being championed by the Valerie crew, which isn’t surprising as they have impeccable taste and Tesla Boy would fit in well in their stable.
