French ElectroPop outfit The Aikiu’s sweeping new single, Fools, was released this week. An involving SynthPop number with a Post-Punk twist.
Here’s the video, directed by Lisa Paclet. Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as spooky as the strobed owl at the beginning suggests.
The Aikiu’s Fools is out now.

More reMix greatness from ex-Aeroplane man The Magician! this time he’s taking on Kitsuné’s Indie-Electro duo The Aikiu and I reckon this is my favourite The Magician reMix to date.
This reMix of ‘The Red Kiss’ is radically 80’s. Unashamedly and unapologetically retro. And it’s awesome.
This is pure 80’s Pop, hints of late 80’s Pop R&B and some mid-80’s SynthPop in the bass and drums and some plucked strings work that takes us back in time so much that this track could have easily been on TOTP in 1984.
The Magician really seems to be living up to his name these past few months!

The Aikiu’s ‘The Red’ Kiss EP is out now:
The Aikiu, brainchild of French producer Alex Aikiu and has just released his first single, ‘Just Can’t Sleep’ on Abracada. It a pretty sweet slice of Indie-Disco and an ode to late 70’s/early 80’s New York clubland. fittingly the man has been working with Chic’s Nile Rogers.It’s got a lot of early 80’s Pop in there as well as Disco, but however you want to classify it, it’s a damn good début.
Check the video:
The single comes packaged by reMixes from Egyptrixx, Azari & III, Mighty Mouse and Clement Meyer. As well as that fine lot check out these two free reMixes. Sovnger’s mutation into a French-Electro banger and chilled, almost Dubby, Space Disco from Stupid Human.
