Starry Eyed Surprise

Not content with releasing records for the likes of Marina and the Diamonds and Passion Pit, Neon Gold Records continue to provide some choice recommendations on their blog.

Their latest endorsement is London-based producer Starsmith. I've previously gushed about Ellie Goulding and, in particular, my fondness for her more recent electronica-influenced material. The man responsible for her slick-beat accompaniment is none other than Mr. Starsmith (aka 'Fin'). Neon Gold have kindly posted Ellie and Fin's genius update of Sam Sparro's 'Black and Gold' here. They collaborate under the name Goldsmith (Goulding and Starsmith, geddit?)

Starsmith is working on more tracks with Goulding and has posted some tantalising youtube snippets on his myspace. He's also done a cracking track with Mr. Frankmusik, called 'Miss Jeckyll and Hyde', which is certainly worth a spin.

It seems there's a slightly brilliant electropop scene a-brewing over in London.

More, please.

Neon Gold are going to be bringing out a single by a band called Yes Giantess (they used to just be called Giantess but apparently are changing their name.)

Their sh*t is well funky !
