Warpaint
The XX brought the minimalist sound, and Warpaint have taken it further. Like fireworks and colored forests.

Label Series: Marine Parade
Marine Parade is an independent label established by DJ/Producer Adam Freeland in 1998. This label has made a name for itself through the discovery of some of the worlds greatest up and coming electronic artists.
"New electronic sounds... and beyond" - Marine Parade
Artists include:
Adam Freeland
Alex Metric
Evil Nine
Freeland

PANTyRAID
I would have to say, Marine Parade and Valerie would have to be my favourite independent labels at this time, with music that ranges from iconic DJ anthems to in-depth electronic brilliance.

Fear Of Tigers
The Sound of Arrows have been killing the blog world for some time now. So have Fear of Tigers. Their Disney induced pop triumphs make you want those days in each others company to last forever.

PIAF 2010
The lineup for the Perth International Arts Festival was announced the other week, and after seeing the incredibly visual performance by Of Montreal last time, its going to be even better with Pains of Being Pure at Heart and HEALTH coming to greet our little city in the corner of the world.
Youthful delusions of grandeur are hardly delusions for Pains of Being Pure at Heart. The visceral vocal melodies floating above My Bloody Valentine guitar washes ringing with the hooks of The Shins will haunt you for weeks. For some it may come as an 80's indie-pop revivalist album, but their panache has created something beautiful. Their 15 minute self titled EP has been hailed with nothing but acclaim, and in your nostalgia driven daydreams, this will be the soundtrack.
Like a new box of Lego thrown hastily out of the box, Pivot dismantle the framework of progressive music, and create a sound so complex and delicate it spurs you into a state of reverie.
Everyone should have heard of HEALTH's collaboration with Canadian mind-fuck Crystal Castles, and their track Crimewave, but this is something else. Heavy synths with harmonic vocals.
The festival runs from February 5th to March 1st.

Dreamy...
Ever since I first heard Delphic, I have been unable to get em out of my head... An album from these guys is coming early next year. This has to be the album I'm most looking forward to. Dreamy progressive indie electro at its finest...
Album is due 11.01.2010
I've uploaded a sample of Alter State for listening as well as This Momentary and a remix...
Enjoy.

BEAT!BEAT!BEAT!
I've always wanted to hear a song about fireworks, and Beat!Beat!Beat!, Germany's answer to The Foals, made it just right. M
Lifelike
Lifelike is quickly becoming one of the most sought after producers in the French house scene. Like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, something bizarre and strange happens to the tracks he remasters. After climbing onboard Alan Braxe's label Vulture, Empire of the Sun, Chromeo, La Roux, and so many other major artists have been trying to secure his unique touch. Recently, the French pop-rock group The Plastiscines had their anthemic Barcelona reworked, and it seems that without his help, they wouldn't have received any press with their low grade 'i'm a bitch, b-i-t-c-h' lyrics screaming out over simple hooks and even simpler sounds.
Friend and part-producer Kris Menace claims that their sound comes from the rise of French disco, with heavy bass lines and the rough, pre-Daft Punk house. This track was one of their first collaborations, but man it is good.
And this track is just rad.

Who's afraid of Cornelius?
The 20 year old student hailing from Toronto has been able to establish himself as a quality up and coming producer, remixing such artists as The Bloody Beetroots and Boys Noize as well as creating some tunes himself. Combining studies and music has proven hard but achievable with the young producer touring the USA and Europe during semester breaks!
A definite young talent to look for in the future.
"If there's one producer who hasn't been getting the hype he deserves this year, it's John Roman..." - GottaDanceDirty
Fenech Soler
Remember the hype surrounding the emergence of the new electro-pop/rock era? Cut Copy, Van She, Friendly Fires etc making headlines with borrowed nostalgia from the 80's? Suppose you take everything you love about these artists, throw in some youthful optimism, some creative genius, and turn it on its head into the present.
Your left with four boys who hide under the guise Fenech Soler. The UK lads have been receiving some incredible press recently, with some regarding them as 'the future of white dance-floor-scorching electro-funk', while destroying the European festival scene. Yet they're still unsigned and barely out of their teens.
Keep an ear out for them, big things will surely be coming.
