The Ghosts’ ‘Ghosts’ video

The biggest tragedy we’ve had to report on here on electronic rumors was the premature passing away of Où Est Le Swimming Pool singer Charlie Haddon, it was a shocking time for ElectroPop fans and I imagine a tough time for his bandmates.

Où Est keyboard player Alex is gaining a bit of attention with his new project, The Ghosts, who are just about to release their second single, ‘Ghosts’. A wonderfully catchy slice of Indie-Electro that shares some obvious Où Est DNA but carves out a sound of it’s own. With it’s heavy synths played against some distant gangly Indie guitar it strikes exactly the right balance for success. Check out the Alex Kyrou directed video which is nicely spooky and tongue in cheek.

‘Ghosts’ is released 8th April on Pocket Records with The Ghosts’ début album released the following week.

Goin’ Old School: Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force, Mantronix & Egyptian Lover

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:

This week on Goin’ Old School we’re going back to one of my first love B-Boy Electro, Electro Funk, Electro Boogie or whatever you want to call it. The Problem is most of the classic cuts from back them don’t have videos, but luckily we can kick off with the quintessential Electro jam, Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force’s ‘Planet Rock’ from 1982

We love some Mantronix round these parts, I think ‘Bassline’ from 1986 is the only classic Mantronix video we haven’t featured yet.

It’s a pity there aren’t more old Egyptian Lover videos. 1986’s Electro Funk fueled ‘Freak-A-Holic’ seems to be the only video he made back then

Who know’s when the album will finally be release, but Chromatic have vowed to keep releasing video teasers of the album, track by track. ‘Candy’ was again shot by Alberto Rossini and is a deep and beautiful electronic lament.

Radio INK’s ‘Who We Are Tonight’ video

We haven’t heard from Australian ElectroPopsters Radio INK since last years ‘Rocket’ single, but they’re back with a brand new track, the first off of their forthcoming début album, and a shiny new video.

‘Who We Are Tonight’ is the kind of massive electronic Pop that we’ve come to expect from this Antepodean troupe with a massive chorus. Not too sure what’s going on in the Jefferton James directed video, but it looks nice.

Radio INK are going on tour in Oz with Aqua of all people! Details on their website.

Little Jinder’s ‘Keep On Dreaming’ video

Sometimes I get the feeling people don’t really know what to do with an artist like Little Jinder.

Take her forthcoming single, the big bass and little voiced ‘Keep On Dreaming’, I wouldn’t be trying to sell this to the UK Funky or Dubstep crowd, I’d shop this to the eclectic Indie-Electro listeners. It’s a really good track that might not get the recognition it deserves if it’s stuck in a pigeon hole.
