Chela – BoxSpeaker’s Latest Electro Crush

All aboard the SS BoxSpeaker – headed straight to Melbourne with sights set on the latest BoxSpeaker crush Chela.

Featured as vocals in Goldroom’s track “Fifteen” last year.

Followed by a gigs as vocals on Viceroy’s “Dream of Bombay.”

Then having her single “Full Moon” remixed by Sterling Silver.

Just last week, the Gold Fields remix of her song “Romanticise” was featured by Kitsune Maison – one of the best French record label/tastemaker combos.

Chela is really making a name for herself, especially as the self-proclaimed “new oriental disco heathen goddess on the block.”

[ALBUM ALERT:] “Learn to Exist” by The Jungle Giants

Brisbane, Australia’s garage rock revival wunderkind The Jungle Giants have their album “Learn to Exist” on pre-sale.

The Jungle Giants are a cheery response to America’s The Strokes and join the San Cisco as part of the Australian Invasion of happy garage rock.

“Ninja” by bAnoffee

Melbourne’s the new city BoxSpeaker’s keeping an eye on for new music because of musicians like Snakadaktal and bAnoffee (aka Martha Brown).

bAnoffee’s track “Ninja” has cosmic synths and a sensual bass tempo, and Martha Brown’s voice sounds a lot like London’s soulful George Maple.

On a sidenote, Australian band San Cisco also did a great “Get Lucky” cover.

Australian cuties San Cisco go from Awkward to getting lucky as they cover Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky.”

DOLLS: The New Kylie Minogue

The UK has recently launched its response to Australia’s Kylie Minogue – DOLLS.

DOLLS is the electropo project of aptly (stage)named Nikki Awesome. Her voice sounds almost exactly like Kylie Minogue. In fact, “Now Now” sounds like a sped up version of “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” mixed with a dark wave bass beat in the background.

She even channels a little bit of Madonna in her outrageous outfits and makeup.

[NEW SINGLE:] Say Lou Lou Releases “Julian”

Dreampop sirens Say Lou Lou released their latest single “Julian” today.

Much like their previous single “Maybe You,” “Julian” makes you feel as if you’re swimming in a romantic flood. But this time, it’s filled with dramatic overtures of percussion.

The Dreamiest of Dream Pop: Say Lou Lou

Say Lou Lou (formerly Saint Lou Lou) refer to themselves as “DREAM WAVE LOVE”.

This Swedish-Australian duo are the epitome of dream pop: The heavy distorted beats engulf you while their soft, soothing voices lure you further in.

Note: It can’t be ignored that the members of Say Lou Lou are also both extremely hot – I mean they do come from two countries with the sexiest populations…
