La Roux - Quicksand

La Roux recycles an early single called Quicksand for a re-release to keep the hype going for the first album. Hard to believe you can get the full length album shipped to you in the UK for free and only pay 4 pounds for the CD. The music industry is definately changing

La Roux - Bulletproof

Catchy retro electro cut that stormed to number 1 on the UK charts. How, I'm not sure. Good track? Yes. Incredible track? No. I'll let you judge. This is the third single taken from the self titled debut album by this British synthpop duo. Check out what our sister blog Panic Manual is saying about La Roux right now right here. Or check out the mini review of the second single by us earlier this year here.

La Roux - In for the Kill

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ1Mi77nogQ

Great single from this electro new wave duo. No video for embedding so you will need to click on the link above. Definately worth the click and one of my favourite tracks out right now. First album is due out on Polydor in the very near future.

Groove Armada - I Won't Kneel

New Groove Armada track goes the La Roux route. Nice cut called I won't Kneel off the new album. Electronic slow groove featuring the vocals of UK artist SaintSaviour

Goldfrapp - Rocket

New single from Goldfrapp. Very clubby dreamy eurodance sounding. Maybe alittle La Roux mixed in. Definately sounds Richard X produced. Mute has no video for it yet but their is a promo single circulating around with remixes by the likes of Richard X and Tiesto. Nice! Taken from the album Head First
