O som da dupla Mirror Kisses pode facilmente ser colocado em qualquer playlist que exalte os anos 80 e a revolução musical causada pelos sintetizadores. Trazendo elementos do synth-pop e do new wave - e deixando as influências dos grandes atos daquela época dominarem suas batidas (é inegável a inspiração deles no Human League , por exemplo) - o duo de Virginia deixa a paixão pela sonoridade daquela década transparecer em cada segundo do seu novo single, “Can’t Believe”. O mentor do projeto, George Clanton, acertou lindamente quando investiu em acordes envolventes e atemporais. É [...]
The VPME They take their name from a quote in Jules Verne's 2000 Leagues under the Sea; they play symphonic electronica with a dream pop sensibility and at times, they sound rather like Emily Haines fronting the Human League, or Ladytron as produced by Giorgio Moroder. It's cool and yet radiates warmth, aloof yet full of allure . Everything By Electricity produce electro pop infused with great melody and depth and as such is far more rewarding than the sort of throwaway nonsense that hangs around the charts giving electro pop a bad name. We may be [...]
After almost three years after her much-lauded debut album, 2009’s Hands , Victoria Hesketh ’s second album abounds with the same propensities for hip-shaking disco jams that made Hesketh, a.k.a. Little Boots , a pop star. Her first album, Hands , garnered Hesketh that year’s BBC Sound of… poll, beating out big names such as Lady Gaga , Florence + The Machine and her rival for the longest-wait-for-second-album title, [...]
There's a great post on Richard Williams' blog about his role in Abba's rise to world domination. It even has a walk-on part for The Human League, in the Melody Maker offices: “Sorry, Ian,” I said, “but I really have to listen to this — it’s the new Abba single.” A look of horror crossed his face. The two people with him swung round in amazement. They were Phil Oakey and Joanne Catherall from the Human League, then at the very beginning of their journey to pop stardom. -- [...]

Bringing you arguably one of the most original Daft Punk ‘Technologic’ bootlegs in a while, AntonyToga totally revolutionizes the familiar robotic vocal stream - known to people from Australia to Outer Mongolia - and replaces it with a sultry electro-friendly female vocal - updating this sought after single fantastically. AntonyToga grants us a vocal testament that can be shared by all on a killer C2C remix. He even re-introduces us to The Human League care of a big-room outer dimension sound, that harks back to the days of Studio 54 (in Manhattan, New York City) and The End in [...]

Justin Timberlake 's second single off The 20/20 Experience , "Mirrors," has managed to become his second chart-topper as a solo artist in the UK this week. JT recently performed the song at the BRIT Awards , and has been in England doing promo for his upcoming third LP. Prior to "Mirrors," the onetime *NSYNC member hit the top across the pond with "SexyBack" — though, curiously, none of his singles with his former boy band ever made it to #1. (Timberlake also landed at the top in [...]
![[support] : Mirror Kisses – Heartbeats (upcoming album)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4811530_lg.jpg)
Mirror Kisses is a Virginia based synth duo created by pop wunderkind George Clanton (‘Kid’s Garden,’ ‘Music To Take Drugs To’) and we've been huge fans since we discovered their "Soaking Wet" EP just before Christmas . And in particular their track "Slow Lover" we have also featured in one of our Sundaze playlists already. But these guys are back in a big way. Today releasing a single from their forthcoming album "Heartbeats" called "Runaways". The record will be printed on white vinyl, with a full-color professionally printed jacket. I know it is asking a [...]
Ah, The Human League. Their early stuff has aged pretty well. And, after the trash I've waded through today, this remix by France's Antony Toga came as a bit of a relief. Seconds is from 19812s Dare . There's nothing radical here and it's more of an instrumental groove than a remix, but it's still got a nu disco synth feel that works. http://www.facebook.com/antony .toga
Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: Two of our favourite bands this week, firstly the mighty The Human League with Open Your Heart from one of the greatest albums ever made, 1981’s Dare. And Everything Counts , from Depeche Mode ’s second best album, 1983’s Construction Time Again . You can buy most of this music from: [...]
El día de hoy comienza una nueva serie de entregas semanales dedicadas a la recopilación de información referente a la historia de la música electrónica: DATA . Desde los artistas que marcaron un estilo, lugares icónicos, hasta piezas de culto sobre la cultura de los sintetizadores. No hay un orden específico a seguir, simplemente se trata de compartir algunos de los momentos memorables dentro de esta historia. (Hacienda: Casa de algunos de las primeras fiestas rave en Inglaterra) Asi que comencemos por remontarnos a los [...]
This is an ace remix of The Human League's super classic "Don't You Want Me" by London five-piece Eat More Cake . This remix is actually available as a free download, but it is definitely worth more! It makes you think that people don't actually give true credit to music anymore. I don't want to sound old, or anything, but the truth is that this is just too good to be free. Anyway, don't forget to show some love to these kids for delivering this fantastic work. Long live dance music! The Human League [...]
Happy Friday everyone! As we head into the weekend, I felt the need to bestow on you this lovely remix by Eat More Cake!
Eat More Cake are promising some new originals soon. But to keep us occupied in the meantime, here's a remix of that reaches all the way back to 1981. Free download. Early synth pop heroes The Human League's huge hit Don't You Want Me gets a contemporary remix. This takes the bass line as its inspiration and loses the vocals. What is left is something sleazy, groovy, slinky and nasty. Perfect for your cocktail bars. Fab remix. Don't you Want Me? I've no idea. But you do want this remix. Download FREE here: [...]

GusGus lanzó el año pasado el disco Arabian Horse y se encuentran muy activos haciendo y regalando remixes en su página de Facebook .

Followed swiftly be a 1981 performance of Don't You Want Me by The Human League . And ending with the Pet Shop Boys in 1988 with [...]
