I'm a sucker for over the top, giddy, fun, pop music. Especially the kind full of chiptune like synths and Mattel percussion freaking out on acid. Before, it was David E Sugar's "We Weren't Put Together" that satisfied this primal love for the most sugar laced and candy coated of pop. Now, however, I have Polychromatic! Following in the footsteps of the aforementioned, his tracks are comprised of the most ecstatic and enjoyable of elements and full of melodies that will forcibly jam themselves into your brain. Oh and he uses breakbeats. I'm partial to "At [...]
Polychromatic! , a new experimental electronica act by Robert Lake , has made available new track "Good Enough". It opens darkly in a low minor chord but seconds later is punctuated with a catchy video game-esque beeping pattern joined with autotuned yet still flat male vocals. The catchy synth melody gets you bopping and momentarily lifts from that it's-almost-Friday-but-I've-st ill-got-4-hours-of-work-left-t oday funk. Polychromatic! - "Good Enough" Dreams , Polychromatic!'s 15 song debut album, is out November 10th. Polychromatic! will also be releasing a free EP [...]
With cited influences as diverse as Public Enemy, My Bloody Valentine and Al Green, DJ Koze is something of an electronic music maverick. Since emerging in 1999, the Hamburg jock has applied his defiantly different outlook to an unfathomable number of musical styles. He has recorded for heavy hitting labels Kompakt , Warp and Freude-Tanzen , and is famous for the deeply danceable cum swerveball mantra of his live sets. His ability behind the decks is impressive too - he actually [...]
I seem to be reeling off review after review lately. Whether EP or full album releases, my inbox always includes a chronological ordered list of links to another collection of wonderful tunes. Although time consuming, reviews will still form the foundation of mojophenia and ultimately giving new international artists a UK platform to shout from. Shortly or more accurately when we get our act together, an offshoot of mojophenia will go live. Mind Over Music will concentrate on individual Online promotion through a comprehensive database of the very cool and influential music sites across the Internet. [...]

Electro pop is on the menu today with Polychromatic. The home made beeps and beats are created by Robert J Lake from La Porte, Indiana. Musically Polychromatic could be comparable to the likes of Passion Pit, with lovely punchy upbeat electronic offerings, minus the whiney voice. Mr Lake has a softer vocal approach. I love the mix of old school rave style beats on the track posted below. His music makes you want to bounce around your bedroom dreaming about Unicorns and rainbows (if you're into that). There is an album in the pipeline, which is to be released at [...]
Polychromatic! - Good Enough.mp3 [Player] Polychromatic! - Diamonds Are For Never And For Always.mp3 [Player] I Guess I'm Floating gets the first discovery / contact on this one.

The info is scarce on Polychromatic! but the positive acclaim is well deserved, and who can disagree; easily accessible electronic trip-pop [...]
Polychromatic is in all likelihood the most microscopic of bands we've ever publicized on IGIF. His myspace has just 12 profile views as of now, his music just 31 plays, his only two friends are the ubiquitous "Tom" and myspace music . He has no photos, no official website, no blog entries, no bio and no comments. There are, however, four promising electro-pop tunes streaming from this empty cavern of a website. Here's "Good Enough" » [MP3] Polychromatic - Good Enough [...]
Well, what do you know, it's Friday. I'm torn between thinking, Big whoop! and Thank god. I had one of those emotionally up and down weeks and so even though I don't really care that it's Friday per se, I'm glad the week is over. Looking forward to next week makes me feel better. Here are a few songs to entertain you. Dan Black -- "I Love Life" mp3 He's a London/Paris based musician who did a cover/remake [...]
