Now, I don’t know if that artwork is good or bad.. I think I’m gonna go with really bad.. Or.. I don’t know. It’s sort of ugly anyway. Let’s leave it at that.

I have to apologize for my lack of enthusiasm for writing that much on this blog and/or the lack of detailed reviews. I’m just tired as a dog from my current job, but it’s just one more…

Visitor – Love (Club Edit)

What can you say about Visitor that haven’t already been said? “Amazing”, “brilliant synth-pop”, “the next blog-sensation” and so on, the list goes on and on. They were blessed by the blog-gods, and rightfully so.

Visitor are craftsmen for all of the senses. The visual is clean and powerful, you just sense the passion in the music by looking at the picture above and then you hear Los Feeling and you suddenly feel the urge to believe…

Our beloved Fredrick Carlsson from Göteborg, Sweden is back with another dancy electro hit, which will see its release on the 6th of June, which is also the National day in Sweden.

Fredrick goes by one rule when creating his music, whatever he would like to hear at this moment he creates, and this shows on the different styles in his music. Okey, it’s not really…

Koobra – Thrills
Koobra – Question

View Complete Original Post

Who’s this then? Why haven’t I heard about Koobra before? Too fresh even for me. This Finnish producer consists of one half of the nu-disco/retro duo Helsinki 78-82 and just released his first EP through the Nightrunners series on Top Billin.

And I must say, this feels very professional, and by professional I mean that I dig this hard and I could see this growing big in this coming year. Hope they get some Top Billin shit…

Magnavox – Through the Fire

View Complete Original Post

I did some little “research” on this act called Magnavox and I believe they are from Spain, I’m pretty sure of that.

Even though the sound of this mysterious duo(!?) goes under the banner of Italo/80’s revival, it is very minimal and a bit frightening, at the beginning of the song and throughout there’s a Silent Hill-like sound that caught my attention. It’s mesmerizing in a sense.

They run the blog Le Vudu and atleast one of…

Ka So Re, Juuso Malin, is a Finnish producer and now a real multi-instrumental live-band with the new addition Henri Seger joining the band.

Their musical approach used to go under the name “Skweee”, it was exclusive for the Nordic countries, which was a pretty much a cooler word for electronic funk/soul. The genres and name-tagging aside, this was a really  interesting phenomenon and offered a fresh…

Anoraak – Above Your Head

A new track from Anoraak, where to begin? In my opinion Anoraak was The King of the 80’s revival and the Valerie scene, actually he still is. From all the tracks in the key of Valerie-esque and the style that it produced, Anoraak always stood out as a voice of reason and individuality both in the sense of musical approach and visual. Ehemm.. Like a lighthouse in the wast sea of mimics and…

Oh, I first thought that was a Kitsuné single, silly me.

Cassette Club have been one of my favourites (yeah yeah I know I have a lot of favourites) lately, they have that special touch of soul and electro that just melts in my ears. Hard to resist really. It’s elegant, dancy and, the tag that the critics use for them, electrosexy. It’s a pretty accurate description…

The Whip – Divebomb (Futurecop Remix)

It’s been a while since we heard anything from Futurecop!, over at this camp anyway, might be the heavy touring and stuff. I just felt like they had a new remix or original every week some time ago.

This track, the original by The Whip, was actually featured on the 2007 compilation of Kitsuné, so it’s quite old in the blogosphere. But nonetheless, it was a catchy tune and still works well.

The summer has arrived in Finland and what better to celebrate the warm and lovely weather than by putting on some chill-wave!?

I dunno what it is, it might be the approaching summer or my own personal increasing positive outlook on things, but I tend to lean more and more to elements of “indie” again. It’s like I had my pure banger and retro period but are now searching more and more towards content-based music, as in a melody that grabs you and gets your emotions rolling.

Stepdad’s range of genres and influences are vast that to sum up these guys under one name would be impossible, it’s synth-pop, it’s indie, it’s experimental and it’s pure pop. Where to begin!?

The track that caught my attention was Jungles. The anticipating drums and synths that sound like they are calling up for a battle of the senses, is spiritual and deep. It’s minimal and the chorus brings out…

Muffin got some love when I posted his tracks Seagulls and Beach Rd, who btw were some epic tunes. The love more specifically came from our buddies Primal Fever from Portland, who wanted to remix Seagulls. And so they did.

The track came out rougher and noisier and a bit more pumping. It’s like Arcanoid mixed with Boys Noize and 80’s synth-pop. I feel as if Primal Fever have turned up the notch on their production-skills, it feels…
