Ryan Egan
Another cracking track from Ryan Egan. This one is called ‘Finest Hour’, and we are pretty sure this is Ryan’s finest musical hour to date.
While previous releases have seen Egan share production with Luca Buccellati (Tei Shi), ‘Finest Hour’ see’s Egan take on full production duties.
The result a glistening pop track full of 80’s vibes.
Sounds like: Ben Khan, Tei Shi, The Ugly Club, Twin Shadow, Jai Paul, JUNGLE, Shy Girls

Roisto
Following on from the innovative video for TJH87‘s ‘Good Life‘ Feat. Gamble & Burke, is Youth Control‘s next release; ‘Apart In Love’ by Finnish producer Roisto.
An electronic creature by nature, Roisto hides away in the dark forests of northernmost Finland. Despite Roisto meaning ‘villain’ in Finnish, the only evil deed carried out by this producer is creating his own stylist brand of disco in his studio and taking inspiration from old analog synths, tape machines, and 12” disco records.
You wouldn’t be blamed for thinking Roisto hails from France. ‘Apart In Love’ is so nu-disco, it conjures up images of a younger Daft Punk dancing in the streets of Paris with Chromeo and Chic as backing dancers.
Pre-order the EP on iTunes here.
Sounds like: TJH87, Chromeo, Daft Punk, The Ugly Club, 8th Grader, PWNDTIAC, Phoenix, Holy Ghost!, Ghost Beach, Cut Copy, Chic, Michael Jackson, Armand Van Helden
The Ugly Club
Apart from the obviously brilliant name, these guys have a pretty cool sound too.
The Ugly Club is a foursome that resides in Brooklyn, NYC.
The Ugly Club’s new track ‘Passengers’ is about escaping. Proceedings commence with steady synths (and the synths are key to the track’s European vibe), but this doesn’t last long as Ryan Egan’s rocky vocals gives the track some wings in prepartaion for the punchy guitar riffs that take over its passengers about half way through.
This is a seriously catchy tune. Give it a listen below.
Sounds like: The Midnight Hollow, Two Door Cinema Club, Phoenix, Chromeo, The Levity, Future Islands, GUSH, Labrinth
