electronic tracks
Track: Lisbon – “I Don’t Know”
Lisbon are Matthew, Joe, Alex and Gaz, hailing from the North East and are on the verge of breaking through into the big leagues. Their music is infectious, euphoric and fits neatly into the current trend of upbeat, melodic, synth-driven pop alongside Two Door Cinema Club, the 1975 and Foals. I caught them as support …
Track: Hot Chip “Huarache Lights”
Electropop heroes Hot Chip are making a confident return to the music scene with new track “Huarache Lights” and inititally the late night house synths seem to be suggesting a slightly more conventional track than the quirky math-rock-esque material they normally tend towards. However, this is soon accompanied by Hot Chip’s usual pitch-bending chords, harmonies …
Track: Prides release the empowering synth-pop of Higher Love
Pinned as one of 2015’s hottest new bands, Prides are doing everything in their power to live up to the hype and give us music that’s worth talking about.

Track: Mew – Satellites, plus album/tour news
Welcome back Mew. It seemed like the Danish art-poppers, aka Copenhagen quartet Jonas Bjerre Bo Madsen Silas Graae Johan Wohlert might have left us after going on a worryingly long haitus following 2009’s ‘No More Stories Are Told Today, I’m Sorry They Washed Away // No More Stories, The World is Grey, I’m Tired, Let’s …
Track: OOFJ release the ethereal electro-indie of I Forgive You
Listening to OOFJ makes me want to slip into a silk paisley dressing gown, light up a pipe and watch some burlesque. And in this, ‘I Forgive You’, the third single from this eclectic duo, they introduce a sense of epic foreboding into the sensuous delight, accentuated by a prowling, insistent bass drone that installs a …
Track: Shelter Point – Fossil
Current dreamy, electronica favourites Shelter Point are back with a new track, Fossil, taken from their forthcoming EP Weird Dreamers, which drops on February 23rd via RCA sub label Space + Time. Taking the lead from the likes of Boards of Canada and Mount Kimbie, the band add these soulful vocals making something that’s completely …
Track: Spank Rock – The Upside EP
Out now on Boysnoize Records is the new EP from Baltimore electro / rapper Spank Rock. He might have burst on the scene with the seminal Yoyoyoyoyo album which dropped back in 2006, but since then he’s released a slew of releases, including 2008’s Bangers and Cash EP and 2011’s ‘Everything is Boring and Everyone …
Track: Cedie Janson – “Light Curve”
There’s something mesmerising about this new release from Brisbane’s Cedie Janson – layers upon layers of complex percussive beats with a bubbling bass and a distant voice massage your ears. It is pure electronica – maybe not my usual listening preference – but very nicely done and impressively atmospheric:This track is off Janson’s debut EP cassette due …
Track: Romare – Roots
And Lo, a new chosen one of electronic music was chosen, and amongst the unfortunates unable to sieze the crown there was much waving of hands and gnashing of teeth. But his increasing number of disciples, which numbered Bonobo and Tiga amongst them, did celebrate, and hark back to his releases on labels such as …
