We don’t know if Mr. Obama is familiar with the Québec-Duo Blue Hawaii, but we’re sure their name would attract his attention if it were to pop up on his iPod, given that it includes the color of his party and his place of birth. If he’d then press play, he’d be in for a breathtaking voyage of a song that would turn the oval office into a dreamy and wavy cloud. We’re afraid he probably hardly finds the time for such pleasure, but are happy to offer the opportunity to you! Blue Hawaii’s album Untogether is scheduled for next year and there could not possibly be a sweeter teaser than “In Two”. Simply beautiful!

Fab Mayday is a Producer and DJ of Perugian descent who, musically, likes to wear a lot of different hats. Running his own club-night, label and also being a reliable deliverer of solid edits, it’s hardly a surprise his original productions are of astonishing quality as well. “Do What You Like” is a hedonistic disco anthem filled with electronic and italo references, which will brighten up your Tuesday in no time. Check out the video and of course, the track is available for free download! Like it? Do it!

London’s spaced out acid knights Ursa Minor (Little Bear) deliver a new glittering construction of massive kicks and aerial vocals. Owing as much to Kate Bush as they do to Mr. Fingers they went for the obvious and decided to call their sound Heart House. And “Ha!”, taken from their EP Shell is a prime example of what that means.

One could start off a week appearing this grey with dismal songs and numerous pots of tea. Well, not on our watch! We’re rather in an “indian summer” – type of mood and hence tend towards ostentatious electronic disco music! This one’s called “Broke The Chain” and comes with compliments of Danny Ashenden aka Earl Grey, who is also known to be a part of “The C90s” and “Say Yes To Another Excess”. Best served hot!

Berlin-based electronic-pop artist and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Azier has been working constantly on his sound with worthwhile results. He released his self produced debut EP Hylas 001 early this year and we can’t keep back from you the single “Red Eyes”, which has already become a live favorite of audiences across Europe and the United States. You also should look out for his forthcoming EP Hylas 002, again released on his own label Hylas Records/BMG.

Somewhere below the wastelands of Arizona a group of musicians dug a tremendous Labyrinth, exceeding in scale even the one Daedalus built to trap the Minotaur. Its floors are made of massive kick drums, its walls of apocalyptic synth clusters and its ceiling of reverberating claps and vocals. They call it the “Purple Catacomb” and your feeling there is captured in this homonymous track.

After two tender and minimalist pop tunes it’s time for something with a darker edge. And exactly this is what Emeron & Fox can deliver with their appropriately titled, new track “Nightmares”, out now on Silhouette Music. You shouldn’t miss the remix by L’Equipe du Son with its clever composition of italo-disco and new-wave elements. So hit play and get your free download of this disco-goodnes!

The latest single by London’s Duologue is a hauntingly beautiful affair. Tender vocals are joined by impeccable string arrangements and on top of it all unfolds a crisp and complex beat. What more do you want from a pop song?

Join London based trio Get People on a trip into the realm of ancient Greek Gods and tender feelings with their marvelous new ambient-techno-pop epic “Cupid’s Curse”. The band will release their debut album next year and this tune is said to be a good teaser of what to expect. So, get the free download and join them on that trip.
