CHANGING ALL THE TIME.

We've waxed poetic on our new leading lady, Foxes, so imagine our excitement when Italian remix extraordinaire Monsieur Adi bestowed upon us this Italo-dega Nights of a take on her debut single "Youth". As the twinkling sound of twilight ignites the affair, the deadpan drumline draws out the deception so the mischievously tribal backbone can dip and snap at the most stadium-pleasing moments. As soon as it gains racetrack momentum, Adi's volcanic eruption of garrulous synths rattles the very foundation holding Foxes down like a heavy tail, until all that's left is the ashy rubble of a youth of another life. Who's that with the neon gold medal neatly ribboned around her neck? Why, it's Foxes of course. Her Youth 7" is out this Monday on Neon Gold and available from the Neon Gold Shop now.

GOLD021: SPARK

We like to think we have a fairly rich pedigree of female pop talent here at Neon Gold, as we gaze fondly at the busts of Marina & The Diamonds, Ellie Goulding and Mr. Little Jeans lining the halls in the pantheon of Neon Gold leading ladies. So it's with great pleasure that we pass the torch on to a special newcomer by the name of Spark, who's enchanting sophomore single "Revolving" will bear our crest when it drops 15th November.

We first fell in love with Spark (quite literally born Jess Sparkle Morgan) via the breathtaking Monsieur Adi remix of her debut single "Shut Out The Moon", so it only seemed right that we invite the Italian Frenchman back for another round of remixing Ms. Morgan on "Revolving". The result is a stroke of minor genius, as Adi forgoes the stale electro beats that plague the blog remix scene in favor of electrifying strings arrangements while Spark bares her soul over his dramatic orchestal backdrop. Experience the remix for yourself below, and be sure to visit Spark's Soundcloud where you can hear the original version of "Revolving" and its accompanying B-side "Wrap".

With FRAUGRAU back again for another round of slick cover artwork, the gorgeous white vinyl 7" hits shelves November 15th and is currently available for preorder from the Neon Gold Shop as well as our British friends across the pond at Puregroove, who have an exciting new pop shop arriving next month as they search for a new permanent home for their operations. Happy preordering!

A NEW KIND OF PIECE OF MACHINERY.

So it's with great pleasure that we pass the torch on to a special newcomer by the name of Spark, who's brilliant sophomore single "Revolving" will bear our crest when it drops this November.

THE KNOCKS SINGLE LAUNCH AT BROOKLYN BOWL.

To celebrate the release of their new single "Make It Better" next Monday on Neon Gold, The Knocks are taking over the decks at Brooklyn Bowl this Saturday night. Presented by GBH and FILTER Magazine, the night also features a headlining live set from Australian electro heavyweights Midnight Juggernauts, as well as performances by Teengirl Fantasy and YAWN. Brooklyn Bowl is pretty much our favorite place in NYC and The Knocks know how to bring the party on the ones and twos, so you better believe we'll be there posted up at the bar and pulling shapes on the dancefloor all night long. Leave your worries at home and come out with your party pants on, and be sure to bring all your friends and an appetite for destruction. Doors at 9pm, you must be 21+ to get in and tickets are $10 before 12:30 and free after. As further enticement to get you that much hungrier for the weekend, grab a free remix of the single below from our main man Monsieur Adi, proving once again why he's the hottest new remixer in the game with an immense hands-in-the-air electro rework of the original.

THIS NIGHT BELONGS TO ME.

One of our favorite new talents of 2010, Spark arrives on the scene next month with her debut single "Shut Out The Moon", released July 12th by our dear friends at Puregroove. Currently on tour with Marina & The Diamonds, she possesses many of the same qualities that have made Marina one of the most adored new artists in the UK, from her off-the-wall fashion sense right down to her powerful personality and breathtaking vocals. We caught her supporting Marina at London's Bloomsbury Ballroom last month and were blown away by her ability to command a room with barely any live experience under her belt, and it was truly one of those magical "a star is born" moments that only come around once in a blue moon.

While "Shut Out The Moon" isn't quite our favorite track from her repertoire (that would be "Revolving" for those of you keeping score at home), the remix package supporting the single is nothing short of amazing and takes the whole thing to staggering new heights of brilliance. Most impressive is a nigh-on genius interpretation from France's Monsieur Adi, who's been wowing us for a minute now with his orchestral electro reworks of everyone from Ellie Goulding to Marina. In what is possibly his finest effort yet, he dresses the original up in all manner of lush strings and heavy bass surges, his background as a classically-trained violinist shining through in the mix and complementing his signature French touch style beautifully. File under: AMAZING.
