The hair again.La Roux's quiff quoff quaff (hair - see picture) has been hurling itself round the remixers recently and letting itself be combed in to all sorts of coiffures, but this dub-type jingo of In For The Kill is a favourite for me which suprisingly, after seeing their boy-band photo, comes from Singapore trio Clash the Disko Kids. These kids ain't learnt to spell yet but they can sure treat a La Roux song right.

THIS, is one of the most absorbing, gorgeous, thirst-quenching electro tracks I have ever heard. The Classixx remix of Beni's My Love Sees You.
It is beautiful.
Beni - My Love Sees You (Classixx remix).
Also check out their remix of Guns 'N' Bombs track Riddle of Steel which featured on Gildas & Masaya's (of Kitsuné) New York mix
(well worth checking out in itself, as is their Paris mix
).Guns 'N' Bombs - Riddle of Steel (Classixx remix).
And here's some gold at the end of that rainbow - an orginal track from Classixx feat. Jeppe - I'll Get You. Video by The Cobrasnake.

Sounds Like: Marina and the Diamonds, Regina Spektor
Along the lines of Little Boots, in a similar vein to Marina and the Diamonds and appearing through the same double doors as Regina Spektor, Ellie Goulding has joined the long lines of soft-voiced female electro-pop acts emerging from the fruitful musical orchard that is The Internet. I hate to lump them all together but the comparisons are obvious.
So original? Maybe not but certainly worthy of a listen, at least to Starry Eyed, a catchy pop tune with a ladder to the wall of Castle Electro (I'm having a day of ridiculous metaphors - does that one even work?). And the second track, Wish I Stayed produced by Frankmusik is certainly growing on me.
If you like this kind of thing I suggest you check out Katie Dove-Dixon too.

In this beautiful adventure that is me crossing over from a predominantly indie to a predominantly electro musical landscape, I have stumbled upon something incredible.
I think I'm in love with French fashion gurus and record label Kitsuné.
Over the last few weeks I have been delightedly persuing the bountiful Kitsuné collection and finding hidden treasures everywhere. It is as if I am eating several hundred jam doughnuts and whilst greatly appreciating the outer, sugar-coated dough of each one, I am also finding myself regularly indulging in a sweet strawberry fondant centre.
Anyway, for a lot of you, I imagine you already know what Kitsuné is, and your smirking a little on the inside at my naivety. But you may not know that the next Kitsuné Maison compilation is due tomorow (digital pre-release). Here's a nice teaser mixed by JBAG:
