IMMI "Klaxon" E.P.

This E.P. is terrific. I picked it up on my aforementioned iTunes Japan shopping expedition. If you like electro-pop you're definitely going to dig it, whether or not you can understand Japanese. However, the cover of the Cure's classic, Lovesong is in english. So, bonus. Give it a shot. I think you'll be glad you did.

Music Now: Ikinoii Mixtape - Special Edition.

A few days ago, I mentioned how the whole planet has gone totally 80s. To illustrate that point, at least as far as contemporary music goes, I thought it would be cool to present the new ikinoii with something I frequently did with the old version, A Musical presentation I call Music Now. This inaugural, special edition is all about electro. So all you fellas throw on a skinny tie, you ladies dress up like Pat Benatar or Belinda Carlisle and we can all dance like we were in the Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go video. Or perhaps not.

In any case enjoy the musical trip, I think my point is pretty obvious regarding the global 80s electro rebirth. The artists featured here are from all over the world, the U.S., Japan England, France and Germany and span musical genres, alternative, rock, techno, R&B and hip hop. I even threw in some classics for comparison. Enjoy.

IMMI "Klaxon" (PV).

This is a pretty cool Japanese electro track I found on Myspace TV. I remember 10 years ago when the only cats doing electro were in Berlin, Detroit and Brooklyn. Now it's a worldwide, genre transcending phenomenon. Cool.
