VIDEO : PIGEON – ENCOUNTERS (SynthPop – Australia)

April 16, 2013

Pigeon are a five piece live electronic/dance/pop group based in Brisbane, Australia. They released their second EP, Fortunes, at the end of 2012, followed by headline and support tours with Van She and Tijuana Cartel, and a nomination for a Queensland Music Award.

The band recently shared a brand new video, directed by Matthew Earl and produced by Richard Zhang, for their latest single “Encounters”. The song pulls no punches as it starts with siren-like synths and gradually builds into a massive party anthem.

SHINE 2009 – EUROZONE (Electro/Funk – Finland)

April 11, 2013

Finnish duo Shine 2009 return with their first new material since their 2001 debut album Realism. On this new single Sami Suova and Mikko Pykäri come off as nonchalant as ever, taking a social stance on money and the financial challenges currently gripping Europe.

Musically, “Eurozone” pulls from genres as wide as funk, breakbeat and classic house, a surprising combination that would be perfectly at home in a dark 1990s discotheque. The song is taken off Shine 2009′s sophomore album, to be released this fall on Cascine.

THE JUAN MACLEAN – YOU ARE MY DESTINY (House/Electro – US)

April 5, 2013

DFA veteran The Juan Maclean hasn’t released a proper album in four years, choosing instead to drop singles when it feels right. “You Are My Destiny” is a gorgeous slice of fun, hard-thumping, groovy house,

Maclean expertly combines reverb-heavy synths, hypnotic programmed beats and chopped-up samples to create a retro-flavoured dreamy club anthem, enhanced by cool vocals from former LCD Soundsytem member Nancy Whang,  who delivers the lines with her usual detached nonchalance.

CHAD VALLEY – YOUNG HUNGER (Balearic/Pop – UK)

March 24, 2013


Born from Oxford’s famously innovative artistic community, Chad Valley is the solo project of Hugo Manuel, who you may recognise as the frontman of UK band Jonquil. Over the past three years, he has released a string of laid-back Balearic influenced EPs that “recreate the feeling of being on the beach”. On his debut album, Young Hunger, the young artist keeps exploring new sounds with a handful of unbelievable guests, including Twin Shadow, Glasser, Active Child and El Perro Del Mar.

Young Hunger may feature a lot of guest artists, but it is a personal record at heart. With a rare clarity of vision and innovative drive, Manuel creates fancy smooth pop jewels that draw on 80s synth bass, 90s filtered vocals and timeless melodies in an attempt his own blend of retrofuturistic pop.

As a bonus, check out a couple of (more or less recent) remixes for labelmate Rush Midnight and Swedish trio The Touch!
