A cold northern guy writing disco music, it already sounds strange, and that is the best definition of the music created by Hans-Peter Lindstrøm. This Norwegian producer uses the name Lindstrom as his stage name for his completely unusual dance music. It is more of a cold Scandinavian soundscape with a space twist and still some parts of the good old 70th afrobeat music. Hard to describe but if you manage to lay hands on his “I’ts A Feedelity Affair” best of collection, you will understand how cold dance music can be. It is a dancing robot party, it is a cold deep space voyage, is it even better live, because Lindstrom is more interested in experimenting, that just playing his hits.
The Glamour Manifesto
Trancecore, powerpop, discopunk are the terms that are used to describe the music of this 5-piece Italian band. The Glamour Manifesto ties together modern mainstream emo with some retro disco influenced electronics like Scooter or E-Type. The product that comes out ib the end is simply brilliant.

3oh!3
3OH!3 is a great young duo from Bolder, Colorado, that combines crank rap in the vein of Lil Wayne with old school electronics and emu parts. A very interesting rap meets emo cocktail that has a great attitude, party groove and fits for any dance floor. The music is catchy, the lyrics are funny, so what more do you need from a good summer party album.

The Title
The Title is a new name with new sound. It is called power pop but actually I can’t really define it. It is similar to some songs of Panic At The Disco, The Postal Service with melodies reminiscent of Cure or some newer bands like Blink-182 or Fall Out Boy; and yeah with a twist of 8bit music. Completely electronic sound with melodic vocals, small 8bit parts and dance parts if it is called power pop, okay I agree.
Their album Making A Scene released this year is starting with small electronic intro and then flows into the first song Fading, with great lyrics and pop emo styled vocals. The singer sometimes uses some effects to make the vocals more distorted (similar to some Postal Service songs), it really helps sometimes when the lyrics are a bit boring. Generally this album is filled with hits, nice dance parts, catchy choruses, incredible melodies, fine lyrics and great positive vibe. Really a great album made by five kids from the US, and by the way it is completely independent, no major labels, so it totally rocks.

08 – Cheese People
Russian madness from Samara. Cheese People is a four-piece band that mixes together funk, disco, electronica and hip-hop and has no analogues in Russia and even in the whole world. The sound is influenced by European indie and electronica bands and the vocals are bit like Russian adaptation of j-pop vocal style. This band actually reminded me of some of my favorite Japanese female fronted bands like YMCK, Plus-Tech Squeeze Box etc.
