In the wake of Friday's tragedy, the news that Charlie Haddon lead singer of Oú Est Le Swimming Pool , one of the UK's most promising SynthPop acts, had taken his own life after the bands show at Belgium's Pukkelpop festival, Vincent Frank A.K.A. Frankmusik has recorded a soulful piano tribute in the form of a cover of Oú Est Le Swimming Pool's biggest hit 'Dance The Way I Feel'. ♫ Frankmusik - Dance the [...]
(photo by Toby Ross-Southall) Wrapping up this past week's pretty blatant "bummer summer" atmosphere of death and untimely wounds is this very soft and sullen cover of the trio Ou Est Le Swimming Pool's "Dance The Way I Feel", as the singer of that UK act, Charles Haddon, took his own life after a performance [...]
Stream 'Dance The Way I Feel' below. This weekend, Charlie Haddon passed. MP3: Telepathe – Chrome's On It (Frankmusik Mix)

So, this is something new and interesting. The night before my interview with Sky Ferreira , I received a vaguely mysterious e-mail from MuuMuse reader Sam Lansky with an attachment entitled "Fame Fatale." The e-mail suggested that the attached may assist me in preparing for my interview. As soon as I began reading, I already knew: This had to be published immediately. "Fame Fatale" is not only a remarkably in-depth analysis (and personal account) of Ferreira's curious rise to fame, but a thoughtful contemplation of the manufacturing of the modern pop star and [...]
The Reborn Identity - Night of the Tiger [ mp3 ] Survivor - Eye of the Tiger Chromeo - Night by Night The Reborn Identity - Better Off Canadian [ mp3 ] Frankmusik - Better Off As 2 Boards of Canada - June 9th both tracks are taken from Lectroset , get the full 30 min mix here

Dramas, back stories and intrigue, ooh la la! Well, kind of... Here's the deal: you might immediately recognize this song, either via the title or through listening, because Sky Ferreira 's Wish I Stayed , is in actuality, an Ellie Goulding song . So wait, how does that enter into our world as such today? Let's read on, mmmkay? [...]

In case you didn't know, Kylie Minogue is a legend. Despite the pop singer's unjustly limited visibility in the North American market, Kylie Minogue is a beloved musical icon in most other territories around the world. Her sheer popularity and nearly revered status is to such a degree that the only real way to describe it would be-at the risk of a barrage of anonymous heckling-to that of her contemporary, Madonna . It is a wonder to think, then, that after over 23 years in the music industry, 11 studio albums, and over [...]

If you're gonna come back from not writing, you better come back with something BIG... So I give you a previously UNRELEASED version of Frankmusik's "When You're Around" . It's sort of dubsteppy in places... and then there are other sections which sound like peak dance floor time music. Ideally it would be awesome for all the DJs out there who want to be able to hop between those two genres without sounding like a git! Frankmusik - "When You're Around (Masterdon Remix)" YouSendIt [...]

I just heard from Frankmusik for the first time in the a while... prompting an "oldie but goodie" post... Frankmusik- "Ice Box (Cover)"
I feel like it's been a while since we posted a straight up dance track like this. We've been veering towards the disco/80s dance music lately, so it's time to get back to our roots a little. "Losing Streak" comes to us from the collaboration between Frankmusik and Computer Club , a true international affair, marrying London and Los Angeles. Fortunately there should be some more dance party action coming up where we can let this one run it's course. The track is from Computer Club's Nerd Secrets EP was released [...]

Managed by the same ppl as Frankmusik, Friends Electric is an electro-pop group making some noise in the UK Friends Electric - Wall Of Arms
Behold: The evolution of the male pop star this way cometh. Simon Curtis , one of MuuMuse's major "One to Watch" artists, just pulled off his first ever live performance at The Roxy while opening for A.J. McLean on May 6. The superstar-to-be performed in front of an audience that included Darren Hayes , Adam Lambert , and Frankmusik (the latter two lauded the singer with congratulatory tweets later that night.) Judging by the clips above, Simon did a damn fine job. Like, really. This [...]

New York producer Chris Glover, AKA Penguin Prison , is no stranger to the music industry. According to the usually-hyperbolic-but-sometim es-spot-on British press, he's done everything from gospel choirs to punk bands to boy bands. His Penguin Prison project has been making some noise since around fall of '09, and people are definitely starting to take notice. It's no secret why they would - dude's got some serious pop chops. His songs bubble and pop with echoes of a slightly less nasal (and obviously less British) FrankMusik, Hot Chip, and echoes of new wave and disco artists past. Of [...]
A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting down with So Sweet Records Co-Founders Tehmina Adaya and Paul Nugent. I recently became aware of the label after attending Electric Daisy Carnival and Nocturnal Wonderland in 2009 where the best stages at both festivals were presented by none other than So Sweet Records. Things to [...]

I've had a few songs this week that have really hit me and hits my speakers proper! If you have a system in your car, at home or if your a DJ and you want to turn up the bass and have the floor shaking like a 4.4 California Earthquake, here are some tunes that will bring some good vibrations to your life. First up we have Computer Club coming once again with some Solid Production. He has teamed up with UK Pop Sensation Frankmusik to drop this huge dancefloor hit! I can't get enough of [...]
Recipe: 1 cup Electro 1/2 cup House 1 tbsp Dub and equal parts meaty beats Recipe for disaster? Or the amazing bass heavy electro masterpieces created by Computer Club? His sound tears up dance floors all over the US and I highly recommend y'all vacayers in Columbus going with Tunnel TONIGHT to Bristol Bar to check him out. Sample here, but go support him tonight. G Tracks Wired All Wrong - Elevatin (Computer Club Remix) [...]
Unless you've been in a coma, or are Osama Bin Laden's cavemate, you've probably heard of Ellie Goulding . She's been hailed as the most important musical artist (especially female) since The Beatles and is the future of everything and you should buy her album so you support the future of everything... right? Well... hype is an AWFUL AWFUL thing... it's such a bad thing in fact that it put Miss Goulding in the hospital last year when she was opening for Florence & The Machine and had a wicked panic [...]
Many of you in O.C. have heard of Nicky Savage and many of you have seen him go from a bright eyed/ bushy tailed baby deer of a DJ to wild animal on the turntables. Last Wednesday we had the privelidge of hosting his Birthday party at the Crosby and a very special guest DJ by the name of FrankMusik stopped by. What went down on that night was nothing short of musical mayhem, in-fact, I think all of use were still recovering from that night 3 days later. Nonetheless, our video guru [...]
