Happy 14th of July, French People..

6 fresh Tracks in this post by Vermin Twins (picture), Madeon, Lupe Fiasco vs. Hilltop Hoods, Neon Wedding, Tom Middleton/Jon Hopkins/Coldplay, and GRUM.

Shuriken
Madeon is an electropop producer from Nantes, France. Apparently this is just a 16-year-old youngster making very very solid and fully downloadable synth awesomeness. Here’s just one track, but be sure to check out his other work on Soundcloud.

Super Standing
One track perhaps played a little too much: Lupe Fiasco ft. Matthew Santos – ‘Superstar’. To keep you from getting tired of it, Loose Caboose made a Mash-Up with the track ‘Still Standing’ by Hilltop Hoods. Feels like a diet coke version, Superstar lite..

To The Corner And Back
Summer and Starlight does kinda feel like a name for Care Bears, doesn’t it? Forget about that anyway, Justin Vanhaven, part of the band Summer and Starlight put up a great and quite credible track a few days ago. It’s called ‘To The Corner and Back’ and vocals were provided by Samantha Crain. Together they are Neon Wedding.

Vermin Twins
Vermin Twins is a Belgian electropop duo. They look a bit odd, and they do sound the way they look. But it’s actually pretty nice once you’re used to the sound and it definitely sounds authentic. As a freebie they recorded a cover of The Van Jets’ ‘The Future’.

Light Through The Veins
Some history to this track. It’s been a while now since Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida / Death And All His Friends’ album came out. The first track on the album ‘Life In Technicolor’ and the final track ‘The Escapist’ had a certain atmosphere that was later captured by Jon Hopkins in his reconstruction of those tracks. It was called ‘Light Through The Veins’. The reconstruction was picked up by Tom Middleton who made a remix, including some of Coldplay’s vocal samples in the remix. So this is really a remix of a reconstruction of an intro/outro..

Skeleton Boy (Grum Remix)
This is an older remix so it’s no surprise if you already know it. It’s just nice to see UK’s GRUM is uploading his tracks to Soundcloud. Check out his page if you are still missing some of his remixes.
