Yes, this is ancient by now but I couldn't just ignore a song/video featuring Britt Love , one half of the now defunct English synthpop group Mini Viva . The song, the very Frankmusik -esque " You Don't Want To Dance With Me ," originally appeared sans Britt Love on Around The Sun , the debut band from NOT defunct English synthpop duo, Monarchy . You might [...]
'You Don't Want To Dance With Me' is Monarchy 's new single. Rerecorded from the album version as a duet with Britt Love from Mini Viva . It's an odd choice of single, but once you get into it you see how inspired it is as a decision. Mid-tempo and quirky the track will show casual Monarchy listeners that there is more to them than the big, catchy, ElectroPop epics. 'You Don't Want To Dance With Me' is all rolling breakbeats and powerful, ominous, synths that provide a moody soundscape for Britt and Ra [...]

When Mini Viva announced that they were throwing in the glittery towel back in November of 2010 , a nation of Xenomania philes mourned. "But what about 'One Touch' ?!" cried millions.* Nonetheless, hope lives on with Britt Love -one-half of the super cute pop duo-as she blazes her own electro-trail as a solo artist. Yesterday, Love posted a brand new solo song for download on her official Facebook page : "Come With Me." The track, which was produced by Youth Kills , borrows heavily from [...]
I am not alone in my prolonged handbag-clutching angst over the demise of Mini Viva, the Xenomania -backed group that released three perfect singles in 2009/10 before being swallowed by the perfect storm of fiscal drama that is now the Music Industry. But now I/we can relax a little. Britt Love , one half of the legendary group, has released her first single. Come With Me. Hear it now. Shimmery, [...]
We didn't spend too long weeping when Mini Viva split up on account of not liking them all that much. As tends to come around when pop groups split, one half of the band has gone solo - and as it happens, her first track really isn't too shabby. It could be said that there was 'an element' of Robyn's 'With Every Heartbeat' in Britt Love's 'Come With Me' but that would be an understatement. 'Come With Me' is 50% a cover version of 'With Every Heartbeat' and 50% a very good pop song [...]
"We'll make a world of our own" I was a huge fan of UK girl duo Mini Viva, back when it looked like they could be the next big thing. Unfortunately, after releasing their best single ( One Wish ), they were dropped before even getting to record an entire album. Luckily, the more interesting/unique voice of the two, Britt Love, is going solo with some dynamite dance pop. The clips on her facebook page sound amazing, but to fully whet your appetite, Come With Me is available to download for [...]
Fact: The Swedes are a superhuman race sent from the future to make amazing pop music. Due to this undeniable truth, Swedish pop stars you've never heard of snatch wigs from your favorite pop stars for fun — just because they can. In my ongoing series, Amazing Things I'm Listening to From Sweden, I review the best Swedish exports that are currently blowing up the charts (i.e., getting blasted at ear-splitting volume in my apartment). Le Kid - America Pop outfit Le Kid first appeared on the scene [...]
I'll admit it: I've been sleeping on CocknBullKid for a while now. Why? It's a shamefully silly reason, yet entirely real nonetheless: She has literally the worst stage name of all time. No, but seriously: It reads like one of those terrible hipster bands that mass CC's me along with every other site across the blogosphere with their awful electro-rock trash and horrible neon-colored graphics. But CockNBullKid, better Anita Blay , is not trash at all. In fact, she's quite brilliant. Having released a smattering of singles a few [...]
Straight from the "destined to be adored by a small group of people on the Internet and no more" files: the solo career of Britt Love, formerly one-half of Mini Viva. Can't Stop Loving You (Clip) by litendark The British duo may have been dropped and disbanded, but Britt provides an indirect way of getting way of getting your Xenomania-Mini Viva fix. She's been working with production unit Youth Kills. Included in [...]
20. Robyn - Hang With Me A gentle, late summer electro gem. I didn't think much of the acoustic version, but this is about as perfect as pop gets. One of my favorite videos of the year, too. 19. Liam Lever - Welcome To Earth This may just actually become a real hit single in the future, but a music video was [...]

Sad news in Pop World today: The Xenomania -produced Brit Pop duo Mini Viva have officially disbanded. The "Left My Heart in Tokyo" hit-makers just posted an official statement on member Britt Love 's Tumblr : First off all we would like to apologise for not being able to tell you sooner what was going on with Mini Viva. It was something we had to decide for ourselves first and of course it was a big decision. Both of us felt like the time was [...]
"Oh but it's sad when a love affair dies...the decline into silence and doubt. Our passion was just too intense to survive...which means..." - Evita * SIGH * Words cannot express how BUMMED I am about the RUMORED breakup of UK pop group Mini Viva , although the chorus from " Goodbye and Thank You " did a pretty good job. I'm devastated! While there's been no official announcement as of yet, if you hold stock in what's being said [...]
After the appalling travesty that was Example's win of the PopJustice Twenty Quid Music Prize, I have decided to do the Right Thing and name my own winner. It is not Hurts in their slim cut suits It is not Marina with her banshee wail It can't be Sophie with the legs for miles And it's certainly not Example in an epic [...]
For the past few years, the DJ and producer born Ashley Jones has been making it rain in the disco with innovative remixes and original tracks. Jones is far from a new jack, having racked up over a decade of international club experience and studio chops as part of the beloved drum & bass group, Evol Intent. Yet as Treasure Fingers, he's found a way to merge his diverse influences and deep history into a signature sound, packed with intricate basslines, chopped-up, gritty synth melodies, and party-ready drum breaks. It caught the ears of A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, who quickly [...]
Mini Viva — Left My Heart in Tokyo Phew, it's been a while since I've last posted. My good friend Johnny informed me that I was missing a bit of my vocal trance two-step, so he provided me with a song to fill in the void. Take a listen, it's pretty damned up beat for a song with such a depressing title. -Tarun
Mini Viva first caught our eye with ' Left My Heart In Tokyo ' over a year ago. Powered by the unstoppable British force Xenomania , 'One Touch' is filled with hypnotic synthy goodness layered with thriving bass and tickling lyrics create a gorgeous disco-pop track.
I've put together a nice little Vacay Vitamin playlist for those hot summer nights when things start to get really sweaty and funky. Pop this vitamin in and just add some tequila, vacay will take care of the rest. As you can see this vitamin is primarily made up of Treasure Fingers , Lifelike , Kris Menace , and Fred Falke . Four artist that are responsible for my disco baptism. Vitamin D1 Ingredient #1: Treasure Fingers I discovered Treasure Fingers about a year ago and I've [...]
