Since the last time we posted anything remotely along the lines of 'synth-poppy stuff' was, well, never, I thought it was about time to exercise said musical genre on this blog.

The next two are classically catchy and up beat in true electro pop style.  A new single from Martin and an old classic I dug out from our favourite Felix. Not this one.


Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette - Hello


Felix Da Housecat - Radio (Shinichi Osawa Remix)


This next one is an amazing use of sampling. Support from Erol so must be good.

Justin Martin & Ardalan - Mr. Spock


No prizes for guessing which Hip Hop track the samples are taken from.

I'll do a post soon on deep dark techno to balance out all this care-free poppy madness.

Got my hands on a few more highly essential songs this week, all but the last are real electro bangers that are going to be hard to miss this summer.

Starting off, this is quite easily the standout track from Don Rimini's latest EP: NLarge Your Parties.
Don Rimini - All About


Next up is Boys Noize's remix of The Chemical Brothers. What do you expect?

Chemical Brothers - Swoon (Boys Noize Summer Mix)


Another remix in the form of Soulwax X LCD Soundsystem. Another one I don't even need to think about evaluating. The only excuse you can have for not having heard of either group is that you are a newborn baby.

 LCD Soundsystem - You Wanted a Hit (Soulwax Remix)


A while ago we featured Paul Chambers' latest track 'Yeah Techno!'. This is what happened when he met Shinichi.
Shinichi Osawa feat. Paul Chambers - Singapore Swing


Now I'm mildly embarrassed to be posting this, but then I love Mstrkrft, so it's quite hard not to...

Katy Perry - California Gurls (Mstrkrft Remix)


And another little bonus: a preview of Bart B More's latest tune 'Brap!' out soon on Boys Noize records.
  Bart B More - Brap! by Bart B More

And the final song...
This one is completely different to all previously. Fitting into the Tech House genre, with melodious piano loops, soft synths and ambient strings, it's hard not to like this on a quiet summers day.

Agoria - Grande Torino

That brilliant japanese electro artist is producing a fair amount at the moment, expect quite a lot from him in the near future...
