Brb - going to join the rest of the resolutioners at the gym (ugh) to try and undo F/W 2011 before S/S 2012 hits. I've been going through iTunes to procrastinate put together a playlist and rediscovered one of my anthems from this past summer that I couldn't not post. Having produced Sam Sparro's hit 'Black & Gold,' and collaborated with him on a few other awesome 902s-inspired remixes, Golden Touch has again teamed up with Sparro to produce his upcoming sophomore album Return to Paradise, to be released sometime this year. Golden Touch has also [...]

My Slow World – the third single from album LPTO – is a personal mixture of the band's earlier influences put in a new context, with singer Ida Long in the centre . LPTO is released this last April 20th by Stupid Dream Records in collaboration with [...]

For O'Spada , this is our second time writing up this Swedish five piece band and it may not even be the last. From the falsetto, anthem-ready vocals of front woman Julia Spada to the groove heavy synth pop, disco, funk band backing her up, this crew was made for soundtracking good times and thus made for Binary. Their music has an eclectic mix of elements that stays cohesive while incorporating elements of many genres. The sound is solid, a throwback to sunny days filled with laughter, smiles and enjoyable company. Just good music with a broad appeal. That [...]
Comme promis, nous nous dirigeons vers le Nord. Il faut savoir que les artistes du Nord, tel que la Norvège , la Suède et le Danemark sont assez bien informés sur ce qui se fait de mieux dans le milieu électronique. Commençons notre conquête du grand Nord avec la Norvège qui accueille 3 bons artistes. Faisons ça de manière alphabétique. Ça sera donc Antichrist qui aura l'honneur d'ouvrir ce bal. Antichrist est un duo qui évoluent assez rapidement. Ayant des influences basées plus vers le [...]

O'Spada is a five piece based in Stockholm. Over the last year, the band's reputation has grown in epic proportions as their unique brand of synthesized pop has captivated audiences around the world. With diverse musical backgrounds - from hip hop to hardcore - the members met studying jazz, but were joined by the will to make pop music. The result is a sound that is not only original, but insanely catchy and extremely danceable. The band also caught the ear of Daktal , which paid back their appreciation with a remix of [...]
Introducing Melbourne's Daktal ; two young brothers with a trunk full of funk and grooves as fat as they come. They're runnin the electronica, hip hop and old funk hustle with finesse! They got that big compressed snare and piano key samples reminiscent of SebAstian and the early EdBanger records. The lads have been nice enough to share some of their latest bootlegged remixes. Their original is a bit of a gem too. Warning; head nodding may (will) ensue. O'Spada - Time [...]
Daktal is a new electronic band based in Melbourne, Australia. It is composed of brothers Jacob and Jerome Farah. They just sent over a few unofficial remixes of a few tracks about an hour ago. Interesting stuff! Be Easy (Daktal Remix) - Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings Time (Daktal Remix) - O'Spada

Last night, I saw newcomer Swedish band O'Spada play The Station Sessions at St Pancras Station . It is a giddy thrill to hear the St Pancras announcements in English and French - O'Spada continued the thrills with a short set of 80s funky-synthy tunes. I liked O'Spada , despite their not-so-likeable name. The seven members of the band were in a true triangular schlager formation, with the 3 on the left wearing navy jackets and the 3 on the right wearing wine jackets. The lead singer, perfectly centred, wore gold. [...]

There's something in the water in Sweden that breeds pop artists. I'm convinced. O'Spada are a group of Swedes who make 80's r&b/funk influenced dance pop that's kind of a kin to Chromeo but less goofy and male...but just as funky and fun. I've read that their press release says "a bastard child between Prince, Jackson 5 and Justice", which is pretty dumb to say, but seems fairly accurate. I've also read things comparing them to Nu Shooz, which is probably even more accurate. I'm not really sure what's crossed with what to create O'Spada, but I like what I've [...]
Well, here we go again...I'm late. I can't deny it, Friday/Saturday were super busy days around POP Stereo Central HQ. We're in the full swing of a reclamation project that will take about two months to complete, so we've been taking the weekends off. Anyway, I'm not going to ramble on and on about things. Enjoy, the first of two posts and we're working to get back on track. Until tomorrow...happy Monday. Ten Tracks You Need (+some) 1 Johnny White - Desensitize website [...]
