This new video from French trio Hypnolove for new single Holiday Reverie, has to be one of the funniest, yet most bizarre visual creations of the year thus far. Appearing to take influence from those dreadful, obscure holiday advertising videos shown late at night, there's plenty of beautiful women, idyllic beaches and 802s inspired work out shots. The track itself is a summer gem, gloriously upbeat and insanely catchy, with plenty of synths and bass to boost the overall sunshine drenched vibe. Check out Holiday Reverie below.

Hypnolove are a three-piece band from Toulouse, France. Although, only member is from France, the other two members come from Germany and Portugal respectively. They all share a love of Italian Singers, presumably from the late 702s disco era. I'm not too well versed in that world. However, whatever is happening with this trio is making for lovely sounds and their EP, "Holiday Reverie" is perfect for the (please!) Summer weather ahead... tropical sounds, laid back melodies and just generally quite happy sounding. There is also cowbell... this a weakness of mine, I know... [...]
French analog synth Disco crew Hypnolove are back this month with a new EP produced by Ed Banger's Mickey Moonlight . The 'Holiday Reverie' EP mixed up some pretty eclectic influences and instrumentation from Disco to Dub to Experimental to ElectroPop with the title track being a funky, weird, summery, Pop tune. Head nodding basses and muted guitar amongst the warm synths are the deal here while 'Midnight Cruising' is a cowbell laden, harp solo wielding SynthPop track. there's also a Mickey Moonlight Dub of each track.

French group Hypnolove first grabbed the world's ear a few years ago with their single "Mademoiselle," though their subsequent debut album, 20062s Eurolove , didn't garner as much attention as it could have. Instead of simply putting their noses right back to the grindstone, Hypnolove spent some time turning out remixes for everyone from Sebastien Tellier to Findlay Brown , craftily keeping themselves fresh by alternating these activities with work on their follow-up album. Now, with that full-length release finally set for an autumn '11 unveiling, Hypnolove hits [...]

Promised Land may not be a new track, with the original crooned by Joe Smith in 1989, but it's Findlay Brown 's version that has found its way into my heart after I picked up the Pilooski edi t last summer. It's now getting a proper release though the fine folk at Record Makers. And it's on 103 gold vinyl. Fuck yeah. On remix duties we've got the previously mentioned Pilooski , along with Hypnolove , Acid Washed and Mellow . The video is a hazy summery piece of beauty from [...]

Until then, we'll power on as be[a]st we know how...with a sprinkling of bits and smiling through the grind... Watch Robyn's entire set from Pitchfork Festival this weekend. [...]

Showgirls are a new French pop trio who make infectious disco pop vibes (win) and are signed to Bertrand Burgalat's Tricatel label. We got sent this remix in May but I only unearthed it recently when I was having a late night catch up on emails and got into a chat with one of the dudes at Record Makers - and thank god I did - because it's a fuckin t-une. Hypnolove (who I know nothing about) is the remixer. Now, normally at this point I'd whizz around google to research both Showgirls AND [...]
