I didn’t take long for Australia (and the UK) to fall in love with the intergalactic foursome that is The Galvatrons. In just under 12 months these synth-bearing mavericks from the future (or past?) have conquered the indie-dance world with their addictive 80’s movie soundtrack melodies and power ballad anthems. They now have a shiny new EP entitled ‘When We Were Kids’ in stores which includes some fun disco hits and a couple of killer remixes. You can catch these interstellar kids playing all over Australia throughout May and then taking on the UK crowds in June and even rocking the O2 Wireless Festival, you show em lads!!
Here’s the always impressive Bag Raiders with their neon remix of ‘When We Were Kids’…
MP3: The Galvatrons - When We Were Kids (Bag Raiders Remix)
While on the topic of the Bag Raiders who, i’m told, are almost finished with their own debut EP. We have yet another remix of their ever so popular track ‘Fun Punch’, this time by rising Sydney producer Toecutter. He puts a glitchy, hacked up spin on the original while keeping the bounce and fun contained within. Also check out a Toecutter original, which i believe is getting an official release later in the year on Bang Gang 12 inches, it’s a very catchy distorted disco/pop tune which cleverly uses a vocal from Kool and the Gang and turns it into something that can you jive to for hours. This is the extended dub mix, expect the original to be much shortly!
