Darwin Deez – Songs For Imaginative People

On February 11th 2013 Darwin Deez will release “Songs For Imaginative People” , his follow up to the successful eponymous debut, which featured hit singles “Constellations”, “Radar Detector” and “Up In the Clouds”.

Entirely self-recorded and produced in Asheville, North Carolina, then mixed in London with Charlie Andrew (Alt-J, Eugene McGuiness), the songs now come with a fantastically beefed up sound to create probably the most fascinating and thrilling record you’ll hear next year, revealing new textures and layers of sonic and lyrical genius upon each repeat listen.

The album will be preceded by first single “Free (The Editorial Me)” which will receive it’s radio premiere on Monday November 26th and Darwin will showcase new tracks from the album at an intimate London show at XOYO on Wednesday November 28th.

Reptar – Houseboat Babies (Chrome Sparks Mix)

Having recently released their debut album “Body Faucet”, Reptar today unveil an amazing remix of forthcoming single “Houseboat Babies” from Chrome Sparks.

Chrome Sparks uses analogue synths, electronic bass drum kicks, reverbed guitar melodies and a pitch-shifted vocal to add a touch of melancholia to the glorious, sun-strafed pop of the original – akin to a long-lost subversive teen-ballad from a John Hughes meets Drive soundtrack

You can stream/download Houseboat Babies (Chrome Sparks Mix) here.
