After a couple of EPs in the past years, german electropoppers Dadajugend Polyform have now released their debut LP Louis de Marsalle on Auf Die Plätze Records. While there are a whole lot of bands trying to sound like they are from the 80s, Dadajugend achieve something more creative here. Louis de Marsalle still has that distinctive poppy 80s feel to it, but on tracks like Localism Leeds you can feel that there is more than that to it. A modern twist that maybe only shows after a couple of listens. Overall, Lena, Holger and Enno have put together a very nice debut album that should be very entertaining on stage. They are giving away A Fair Trade along with remixed versions for free on soundcloud. Sadly Localism Leeds is not available for stream. It is now. Louis de Marsalle is out now. Also catch them on Poule d’Or 2.

Poule d’Or just returned from the good old Kingdom where the entire team of Poule d’Or headquarters saw our old and new favorite band Bravestation play a gig in Manchester. Not only are they the nicest people, they also are quite an epic live experience! Given the bit weak sound system at the venue, they were absolutely amazing and rocked out hard. I think I even heard a four-hook-song. FOUR hooks that is! EPIC! They played a couple of hot new songs as well, however they won’t be released before 2012. So you got no choice but to stick to their (brilliant) 2010 EP which is, well, from 2010 but it still has that irresistible new car smell (unlike their tour van).

Third video by the Parisian tri-fecta out of their three kids in a row live series. Charming, instantly likable. Keep an eye on that row of french kids for sure. Also check the first song of the series on Poule d’Or 7.

Electro-wizard Radioseven prefers staying anonymous but it’s not only the mystery surrounding him that fascinates. His new EP An Escape features 8 light, electronic songs and they’re all equally appealing. Let Radioseven take you on a 30-minutes trip through ambient soundscapes, but be careful, you might get lost in it’s dreaminess. An Escape is out now via Distorted Disco Records on bandcamp.
