Milou is the duo Iman Conta and Felix Flygare, and a few days ago they released the video to their debut single “High For You”. It’s about electro soul and disco and quite a bit about Iman’s wonderful soul voice. Listen for yourself here below.

Axel Wikner is 16 years old and produces dance music, mostly house but also some odd genres like moombahton. Not my cup of tea usually, but I felt for a diversion today. Axel started playing around with music software last year, but after he discovered that his music was being played on clubs it took a more serious direction. He has now released a couple of singles and the EP “Modern Talking”. Here’s the latest song, “Sub Bomb”.

The productive Conny Olivetti released his tenth album “Probing the Sonic Heritage” this Summer, and like with earlier albums I wonder over the change of scenes from album to album, the creativity and the details. I guess the title refers to his sources of inspiration, but even if I can sense some of them and note a direct reference here and there, it’s Conny’s own soundscape I enter.

And this time it feels dark, from the suggestively mysterious to the ominous to the direct frightening as in songs like “Die Hüter des Gesetzes” and “Room 13”. The filmic feeling is even more prominent this time, like if the songs are small films in themselves, constantly in movement and changing, enhanced by new details and voice samplings. An album that demands some attention from the listener and which certainly deserves it.

Here’s a piece of catchy, dance friendly electro pop from songwriter and singer Malin Bylund. She’s from Stockholm but moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to study vocals, where she now lives. This is her first official single, if I may call it that, but you can hear several more songs on her Soundcloud page.

I wrote about Echodeck already in 2008, and it took them some years before they felt satisfied enough with the material to release an album. In Spring “Flying Machine” was finally released, a beautiful instrumental creation where man meets machine, monotony meets dreams, hammer blows meet tender melodies, into a whole which still feels warm and hopeful. Listen here to a couple of tracks from the album.
