Nitzer Ebb - Join In The Chant

Not exactly a new track, being from 1987, but I've been having a week of listening to 80's only tracks to see what I missed out on and have become rather enchanted at this super groovy, yet angry, shouty classic.

Dopplereffekt - Plastiphilia 2

This reminds me of all the extravagances of the electro-clash era, a short electro track about wanting to fuck a mannequin.

Dmx Krew - Astro Logical

You do not hear enough electro nowadays.  This is a charming little beauty full of melodic snyth stabs.

Tiga - Bugatti

Tiga right back on form with this clinky electro-soaked track.  Tiga made his made producing electro monsters when electro was good, back in the early to mid-2000's - before it went all electro-house.  Rediscover electro with this very cool and catchy track.

Kraftwerk – Sex Objekt

One of my favourite tracks to sing out loud at work.  Ashamedly I do not have that much of a grasp on the discography of the legendary Kraftwerk but am slowly gaining knowledge of their impressive volume of work and suggest that you do too.

Ich bin ein sex object.

Poni Hoax – Hypercommunication (Alter Ego Remix)

What a classic mid-2000’s electro tune.  Delighted to have rediscovered it.  Surely cannot be more than a year or two before electro becomes cool again?  Maybe 3 years away.  I miss the power and performance of such monstrous delights.

Yazoo – Don’t Go (Re-re-mix)

I love a bit of 80’s electro and this remix strips out the vocals (mostly) for a real audience teaser.

Deichkind - Leider Geil (Solomun Remix)

German Nintendo music.  Yes.  Only a small clip available on Soundcloud.  I haven't the foggiest where I discover some of these tracks sometimes.

Marco Passarani - I House You

Proper sleazy electro remix of a house classic which you will recognise.

Oh and it's from 2004 so before electro went shit.

Donna Allen - Serious (Special Extended U.S. Mix)

Incredibly cool piece of German electro from the 80's, with a vocal that you will recognise and a delightful 11 minutes long.

Jimmy Edgar - This One's For The Children

Ah the return of robotic electro music that sounds good, sounds fresh and sounds modern - a big welcome back to electro!  None of that ra ra ra wub crap.

Parallel Dance Ensemble - Shopping Cart

A 3 minute track on my blog!  This is like some kind of quirky pop tune, bit of an electro feel to it and quite catchy.  Will I like it next week?  Unlikely, so enjoy it before I delete it.

Previous track

Talk Talk - It's My Life

I love this track, such an 80's track, because it is about 30 years old - its my life and I am going to do what I want with it thank you very much and be who I want to be, and I put it in my previous DJ mix too.

Got to love a bit of 80's retro electro stuff, especially on a Friday.

Giorgio Moroder – Chase

This is from 1979.  A whole 32 years old.  Giorgio Moroder was miles ahead of his time and a true pioneer.  Full of synths and belonging in the 80’s, this was how electro started, in my opinion anyway.

The Human League – Together In Electric Dreams (Extended Mix)

OK I am a closest Human League fan.  Although I probably haven’t heard any more of their tunes…or have I?

The Human League – Don’t You Want Me

Ok I admit it, I like the original too.

The Human League – Don’t You Want Me (Extended Dance Mix)

Am I allowed to like this?  Of course I am!  It is the version without vocals though which has more appeal, I know what they are on the off-chance I want to sing along.
