Taylor Swift – a (robot) Love Story (Futurecop! & Ham$tar* Remix)

January 25th, 2012 by | Remix, synthpop |

 Taylor Swift   a (robot) Love Story (Futurecop! & Ham$tar* Remix)Here’s an unusual but entertaining quality remix from Futurecop! and Ham$tar*. It’s not the most catchy but I’m loving all the instrumentals he throws on this Taylor Swift track. I don’t really like Taylor Swift‘s music but I like her “Love Story” song a bit more because of this interesting remix. Stream and download below.

artworks 000016815407 pfy7t7 original 592x600 Angel & Airwaves   The Adventure (Futurecop! Remix)Brand new remix from Futurecop! It’s been since February 2011 since we last wrote about  Futurecop! but that changes with their banging dance remix to Angel & Airwaves ”The Adventure”. The original is a great song and the synths and dance vibe created by FutureCop! only makes “The Adventure” an even better song.

Justice – Audio, Video, Disco (album)

October 25th, 2011 by | Disco, Electro, Electronic Rock, Electronic Tuesday, House, synthpop |

big359Justice Audio Video Disco 600x400 Justice   Audio, Video, Disco (album)Today a real treat of an album came out from French electro/rock duo Justice. The album, Audio, Video, Disco is a mix of synths and electronic rock that are pumping with energy, banging with rhythm and overall having a consistenly awesome sound with various genres interlaced including electro, arena rock, disco-house and much more.

I enjoy almost every song on Audio, Video, Disco, there’s such an epic kind of sound apparent in many of the songs on the album with an almost cinematic production applied.

Here’s my five favorites from the latest Justice album that we haven’t posted yet.

heychampsilhouette 600x437 Hey Champ remixes and features *Passion Pit, Mike Posner & much more!I’m a huge fan of Hey Champ, they may be my favorite music trio from Chicago. A couple weeks back, we introduced you to them with their best original material. Now here’s five of the best songs they are either featured in or they have remixed.

Let’s begin with their electro-pop remix to Mike Posner‘s “Cooler Than Me”. It’s got a pretty cool vibe, mostly enjoy this because I love the original so much. Although I prefer the original, this is a minimalistic remix that provides a change of pace than all the other versions of “Cooler Than Me”. DOWNLOAD

Next comes a song Hey Champ is featured in, “Getting You Off”, which is by 80kidz. Another pop song with smooth enjoyable instrumentals, almost reminds me of Empire Of The Sun but more relaxed vocals. Download

Next comes one of my favorite Passion Pit songs, “Little Secrets”, which Hey Champ remixed by changing the instrumentals to a downtempo vibe. If you like Passion Pit, you will really enjoy this! DOWNLOAD

SpeakAdamHandPaintFont300 Hidden Gem: SPEAK *synth rock popSPEAK is a band from Austin, Texas with a smooth rock/pop sound. I have only heard 2 songs from them but believe they display mainstream potential. Their debut full-length album, I Believe In Everything, comes out September 27 through Modern Art Records/Atlantic.

Here’s my two favorites from SPEAK, “Carrie” and “Digital Love”, which is a thrilling cover of the Daft Punk classic.

Hidden Gem: The Bynars *Boston Synth-Pop

June 27th, 2011 by | Hidden Gem, Pop, synthpop |

20110413 155410 996274 Hidden Gem: The Bynars *Boston Synth PopThe Bynars reached out to us in Mid-May, I listened to their stuff within a couple weeks later and decided I would do a blog post because of their catchy sound. Although The Bynars can be categorized as synth-pop, the Boston band has some grooving rock elements which shouldn’t turn you off to their music if you don’t like pop.

In their e-mail to us they attached their last three singles off their self-titled album. I really like all the songs they have sent me so here are their last three singles. Check out their full album on bandcamp.
The Bynars – Can You Hear It
The Bynars – How Does It Feel to Be in Love
The Bynars – Asking Your Mom for Money
