Bubblegum Electro Pop
Bubblegum? I love bubblegum, don’t we all? Snap, pop, snap pop. Anyway that’s what this mix is all about. Snappy pop electro dance music. It’s a fun, upbeat dance mix heavily relying on the electro sound.
I’ve recently discovered Sally Shapiro and she totally reminds me of Annie. Well she hails from Sweden right next door to Norway where Annie is from. I love this remake of Spacer Woman by Johan Agebjorn. I love the original but this one has the great vocals by Sally Shapiro. Very young childish sounds girl vocals. Definitely check out her music. She’s got one full album plus two remix albums and this Spacer Woman ep. WOW! I can’t get enough of her tracks. Beats Britney for fucks sake! This is real pop music not Britneys overproduced Womanizer track. Blaa!
Chewing Gum Fraise is so fun and cute and bouncy. Love it because it makes you move. But guess what? It’s in French! So get over it and learn some already. The band is from Montreal and I love the whole album. It’s awesome – it’s called L’Idealogie Des Stars. Get it!
Well I had to add Annie as she started the whole bubblegum electro pop movement. Didn’t she? I think so. This one’s Chewing Gum remixed by Mylo. There’s a theme here you see? I love this remix and I absolutely love Mylo’s music – when’s the follow up to Destroy Rock And Roll coming out? Anyway Annie’s got a new album coming out too but while we wait for it we can enjoy this one as it never gets old especially this remix.
Hearts on Fire by Cut Copy totally reminds me of a synth pop track from the mid 80s. Maybe reminds me of Boxcar – anyone remember Boxcar? I think they were from Australia just like Cut Copy. Hearts on fire is such a cute song and deserves repeated play. Off of their recent In Ghost Colours album.
Another French track this time by Yelle with Ce Jeu sampling Heaven 17’s Let Me Go. The Heaven 17 track is somewhat moody and a downer type track but Ce Jeu is quite bubbly fun and upbeat. I actually really love the whistling intro. Totally different and the sample from Heaven 17 really works!
Chromeo totally take you back to the 80s with Call Me Up. I’ve been a fan of Chromeo way back when they were part of Turbo Recordings in Montreal and now they are on their second album, Fancy Footwork. Both albums are fun, bright poppy 80’s sounding dance music. Really worth the purchase.
I had to include a cut from Felix Da Housecat and I thought Rado (Shinishi Osawa Edit) would be the best track to include. I love this remix by Shinishi Osawa it’s fun and very upbeat with the cute electronic samples. It’s much livelier than the original so that’s what I was going with this mix.
Anyway hope you enjoy the mix!
