Fred Falke strikes back – this time using his magic French touch on LA’s Music Go Music, that 70s ABBA/Olivia Newton John, disco band signed to Secretly Canadian. Interesting use of that 8-bit sounding synth. Check out what Kama Maza from Music go Music has to say about Fred’s remix:“Fred’s version leans more towards those [...]
Sequenced synths galore featuring Patrick Cowley inspired vocoder. Fantastic blend of Italo and House elements – oh so futuristic. Keep on doing what you are doingAzari & III.Azari & III – She’s An IllusionVia 20 Jazz Funk Greats
What a great tune from RJD2’s new EP, The Tin Foil Hat. I love it when that guitar solo kicks in out of nowhere. This is a track that you need to bump while cruising around in your car. And bump it LOUD.
Warm, thoughtful, introspective and soulful electronic that comes from the UK seems like an oxymoron but acts like Bibio, Bullion and Lone are doing it quite well. Lone (Werk Discs Records) from Nottingham, United Kingdom produces warm/organic sounding beats that evoke images of lovely autumn days. His synth sounds swirl and swarm you in a [...]
You all know and have seen ROB on TV, on every late night show this summer laying it down on the keys/synths for this little known French Pop Band, Phoenix. This track is the 4th installation in his 12 month long release of musical pieces through Institubes Records. Mr. Tellier joins ROB on this latest [...]
Once again I will state that I love Joy Orbison and what he is doing for electronic music. It is a refreshing sound that is cleansing our burnt out/bloghaus banger palette. There is a a hint of the crazy dubstep everyone is raving about but in a very tasteful way. My favorite element of Joy [...]
VHS Head is a mysterious Blackpool, UK native producer signed to Skam Records.Rumors are flying around that VHS Head is a secret moniker of the amazing Jackson & His Computer Band. I had the pleasure of checking out Jackson’s DJ set as he opened for Justice this last week in NYC at Webster Hall. Not [...]
Jupiter is a Parisian Disco Pop duo (including keytar) – Checkout “Mama Used to Say” a slick disco pop tune with a fat synth bassline and a cute sounding female vocalist. Nothing revolutionary but just a well produced and put together tune. Dance.UPDATE: This is actually a cover of Junior’s 1982 track “Mama Used to [...]
Artwork by EIKNARFAfter hearing the Magistrates 20 Min Mixtape – a what I would call a “scanning through the radio/channel surfing” mix/mashup, I wanted to hear more. I asked the Magistrates boys if they would craft another similar mix that would give us all another peak into their pop music minds and they graciously agreed. [...]
What an amazing bassline GLOVES added to this remix of The Scare. It is very Chic sounding, Bernard Edwards would be proud. The vox remind me of the Presets.The Scare – Could Be Bad (GLOVES Remix)
Matt Van Schie of Van She has released a track of his own for free on the interwebs. It reminds me of The Buggles especially during the chorus. It has a very nerdy 80s rock vibe, I feel it.Matt Van Schie – Saturday Night
Hey Champ takes on the synth-pop blog kings Passion Pit’s “Little Secrets”. Pete sent me the unmastered version of this remix a month ago and I knew that it would be a blogosphere hit. I love the slick bassline and what they do to the chorus and the bridge. If you are lucky enough to [...]
The first time I heard the Plasticines was their lovely screams on Cazals’ “A Big Mistake” This remix by the one and only Lifelike is a classic French disco sounding tune that just washes over you. Dance hipster girls, dance.Plasticines – Barcelona (Lifelike Remix)
This is Classixx entering a dark and minimal side to their productions – very different but I like. Drop The Lime – Devil’s Eyes [CLASSIXX'S B-LIVE MIX]
Wow. The first half of this tune is super slick and Hall & Oates’ pop then it slips into this dark 8-bit arpeggiated bridge that sounds amazing LOUD. I love the bassline during the chorus. Siriusmo is too amazing.Chromeo – Night by Night (Siriusmo Remix)Cheers, Green Label Sound
Midnight Juggernauts are venturing to the promiseland, Uhmerica to bless us with their psycehedlic-synth sounds that they have been crafting and honing for the past few years. I feel like their latest track “This New Technology” is a conscious effort to say stray away from the to the whole electro/bloghaus/synth-rock genre they were trailblazing. They [...]
