New track from Paul

Yeah, a new track from our fellow Frenchman Paul. We have longed for a new track quite a while now, but when we got and listened to it, it was worth the waiting. Paul reached Arnie's "Best of 2009" list and he was one of our best new acquaintances to all of us at Tracasseur last year. So it's with joy I give you his new fresh track "Blue Lagoon" in the best quality. It's time to get aquatic with Paul!

PEACE by Buffetlibre & Amnesty International

Our fine friends of Buffetlibre have another massive project on the go. Before they have had huge and splendid projects like "Rewind" (80s cover project) and "Batidora" (remix project). And now it's time for their new project together with Amnesty International named "PEACE". It was supposed to be released already by March 1, but due to bureaucratic paperwork and legal authorizations the project will be fully released April 12 instead. But these who waits for something good...

There are more than 15o artists from over 50 countries into the "PEACE" project. There are all kinds of artists involved from all the music genres there is. For us who are mostly into the electronic music we can tell you that fine acts like Tesla Boy, Jori Hulkkonen, The Hidden Cameras, The Toxic Avenger, Aeons, Sally Shapiro, Jeans Team and Don Diablo have produced brand new songs to the project.

This music atlas will be given for free to all those who, through the official "PEACE" website, make a minimum donation of € 2 in favour of the NGO Amnesty International. All benefits will go to Amnesty International to stand up for humanity and human rights. Their purpose is to protect individuals wherever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied.

Before the launch in about three weeks and due to the delay Buffetlibre have some free tracks to share with you and you can also stream 24 tracks from here. Every week until the official release of "PEACE" there will be 24 new tracks at the same place. We will make a new post when the official site is up.

The Toxic Avenger - NU 1553

The Requesters - Breakin Up

Ivri Lider - Mike

Red Hero

Our hero dressed in red, straight from the Bronx, Red Hero. Inspired by others today like Kavinsky and Danger but also of course by the 80s with the movies, anime and video games. Yet with that darker tech feel. David, as his real name is, also mention the movie "Nightmares" from 1983 in four parts with among others Emilio Estevez. He also tells that the name Red Hero came from the colour that lead heroes often wear.

This is a selection of tracks and if you visit Red Hero's Last.fm you can download more tracks for free, but when there or at his MySpace, give him your 80s best wave you got. We give our best waves to mighty Rosso Corsa for giving us Red Hero.

Red Hero - Real Hero

Red Hero - Red Villains

Red Hero - Hostage Situations

Red Hero - A Dead Engine

Red Hero - Death Race

Red Hero - Insignia

Love Kisses!

Love at first listen! Brilliant pop! Dreamy! Balaeric! Catchy! Indie! Great voice!

Nobody can really not have noticed the blog hype around this new half secret act from L.A. called Kisses. Almost everyone are comparing the voice of Jesse Kivel with Swedish Jens Lekman, I can only agree with them. I also think the voice of Jesse is even better and smoother. He's brilliant accompanied by Zinzi Edmundson. Perfect match!

It's dreamy pop and you can easily place them in the same league as several Swedish pop acts from the label Service, such as above mentioned Jens Lekman, Lake Heartbeat and The Embassy.

The single "Bermuda" is from the forthcoming album "The Heart of the Nightlife" that will be released this spring. I'll wait with eager for the release, until then I'll have to be satisfied with these two tracks.
