Rarely, if ever, has a movie's soundtrack come to characterize a subgenre as much as Drive 's has. Any artist looking to make a name in balearic dream pop has to meet the standards of this collection, namely College's defining piece, "A Real Hero (Ft. Electric Youth)." Sweden's Postiljonen would have no problem breaking into the Drive club, especially with their latest track "On The Run." The synths and airy vocals are all there, so much so that "On The Run" sounds better suited for the films we see in our sleep than a Gosling motorcycle flick. [...]

Adding to their currently busy release schedule, the awesome Girlfriend Records have just dropped the new album from Montréal based power synth producers Le Matos . Having been released in the past twenty-four hours we haven’t really had time to sit down with it yet, but one of the eye catching tracks on the LP is Light Again , featruing a bit of fellow Canadian ElectroPoppers Electric Youth . Light Again is pretty classic sounding ElectroPop, with a rounded Dreamwave flavour. Built up of storming dancefloor beats and euphoric synths. [...]

Vanilla Ace makes extremely sophisticated and smooth deep house that frankly, more people should be paying attention to. In the vein of Hot Creations and Duke Dumont and all the awesome deep house out there, the London-based producer knows how to twerk it. Candadian dreamwavey duo of " A Real Hero" fame Electric Youth's unexpected take on "Down" is simply all that. Hypnotic is his other gem out this year as well:

I remembering sitting in the movie theater watching Drive , and being absolutely blown away by the soundtrack. It was the selections of College and Kavinsky's music in that film that really renewed my addiction to synth pop. Kavinsky recently released his debut album, Outrun (thankfully on vinyl), and now the announcement comes through of College's Secret Diary and Teenage Color receiving the vinyl treatment. The vinyl (and CD...) release of College's music will be issued for the first time ever through Geoff Barlow's (Portishead, DROKK, Quakers) label, Invada. Scheduled for [...]

If you're like me, you probably revisited the theater multiple times in the fall of 2011 to catch Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive . If you're really like me, then you might have had your girlfriend make a faux Gosling jacket for that year's Halloween, only to buy the real thing a month later. However, any vinyl enthusiasts out there, who share even the slightest love of the film that I do, probably laid down a pretty penny for its accompanying soundtrack on wax. (I know I did. It's pink and was shipped from overseas.) Well, get ready to [...]
With new albums from Sally Shapiro and Shout Out Louds dropping tomorrow, it’s a great week for Swedish indie pop. Shapiro’s album includes one of my favorite tracks of 2013 thus far, the addictive, pulsating electro-pop track “Starman”, which would have fit perfectly on the Drive Soundtrack (fittingly enough, the track was co-written by “A Real Hero” guests, Electric Youth ). Somewhere Else is out tomorrow on Paper Bag Records .
Sally Shapiro 's outstanding Somewhere Else LP is out next week (stream it early here ), and here we have a skittering, dizzy remix of one of the record's best cuts: the sumptuous Electric Youth collab "Starman." Henning Fürst (formerly one half of Swedish legend The Tough Alliance and also responsible for the blissful production on Taken By Trees' Other Worlds ) slices the original into tightly circuited loops, stacking them on top of each other in strange, prog-disco shapes. Don't miss out on Somewhere Else when it drops Febraruy 26 on Paper Bag Records [...]
Sally Shapiro feat. Electric Youth - “Starman”

Sally Shapiro não tem lançado muitas novidades desde o lançamento do álbum My Guilty Pleasures , de 2009. O anúncio do novo trabalho veio para despertar nosso interesse pela sonoridade italo disco que tanto permeou nas produções de 2010/2011. Para quem não conhece, Sally é uma sueca que ficou conhecida em sua estréia em 2006 com o álbum Disco Romance , cujo o single "I'll Be By Your Side" foi uma das faixas mais executadas e remixadas da época, fazendo com que seu estilo único e meigo refletisse nos principais discos de música eletrônica lançados [...]
Let’s be real, Idolafans: nothing exacerbates a broken heart like the prospect of another Valentine’s Day alone . If the ubiquity of hearts and flowers doesn’t get to you, the smell of chocolate and the constant reminder that everyone else is gettin’ some certainly will. It’s a painful thing to live through, and not something we recommend facing without the help of empathetic music journalists and their playlist-assembling abilities. We’re here for you. So while you’re spending Valentine’s Eve at home, alone, with a heart-shaped box of candy and a wine-shaped box of comfort, crank up this [...]

![[Audio] Miami Nights 1984 reMixes Sally Shapiro](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4747910_lg.jpg)
Sally Shapiro ’s, Electric Youth featuring, Starman is officially released today. Ever since we wrote about the track earlier this month we’ve been pretty excited about the release coming out, not least because it is backed with this track. A reMix from electronic rumors favourite and one of the leading lights of the SynthWave scene, Miami Nights 1984 . Sally Shapiro's swirling, 60s inspired, cute ElectroPop and MN84’s driving Outrun and retro leads, how will that sound? As it turns out, amazing. Kicking things off with an [...]
Discobelle premiere! Swedish italodisco queen Sally Shapiro drops her new single "Starman" (also features Electric Youth, taken off upcoming album "Somewhere Else" released February 26th) tomorrow, this remix from Canadian producer Miami Nights 1984 ups the ante of the 802s spacey discoinfused original (which you can check out and then download below) and packs more of a club ready punch while Sally's romantic vocals still keeps it somewhat bittersweet.
