Composed by Martyn, Thom, Mike, Lawrence and Tom , Citizens! is a London-based five-piece with a mission: to reclaim pop music, because “Pop is not a dirty word. It’s a holy one.” Recently signed to indie label Kitsuné (the lasbel who brought you Logo, Delphic or Housse de Racket), they recorded their debut album in a house, played the whole thing live, got drunk, fought over lyrics and didn’t edit out the mistakes. Most importantly, they never allowed themselves to mimic any particular moment from decades past.

The band’s high-octane debut single, “True Romance”, appeared on Kitsuné’s last compilation and it is getting a proper single release tomorrow December 19th. Along with the original track, the EP includes remixes by talented artists as Database, Populette, White Shadow, Cassian, and Database !

Watch out for Citizens!’s debut album, due early next year and produced by none other than Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand.

He dug into his eclectic bag of tricks to conjure up a devilishly tasty record, featuring vocals by Danish artist Jeppe Laursen.

The single, which will be out on legendary Parisian label Kitsuné on October 3rd, will showcase three stunning remixes by Fabian, Plastic Plates and Second Date.

The Magician made the decision to fly solo from Aeroplane only about a year ago but his has been a meteoric rise. Stephen first appeared under his new guise through his popular ‘Magic Tapes’ mixtape series available as free downloads on Soundcloud.

These didn’t go unnoticed among music aficionados and neither did his stunning remixes for the likes of The Aikiu, Beni, Yuksek and Lykke Li. The Magician’s remix of Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers” became an instant cult hit and garnered over 3 millions plays on YouTube. The final push was the release of “Twist”, a collaboration with Yuksek which got massive airplay across clubland this summer and cemented The Magician’s reputation.

“I Don’t Know What To Do” (Feat. Jeppe) by TheMagician

With its simple yet efficient piano hook, “I Don’t Know What to Do” is a pure disco-house jewel enlightened by Jeppe’s voice. The club mix and the remixes by Fabian and Plastic Plates, are punchy electronic excursions and are perfect peak time club bangers.
