Introducing ‘The Lightning Kids’ and their first remix album ‘FM’, out on July 21, 2023, via Aztec Records.

Following the success of debut album ‘All Of Those Nights’ in late 2022, gathering strong reviews in the Synthwave community and described as ‘Retrowave London Grammar’. The Lightning Kids return with a special project of remixes and collaborations on the same set of songs.

‘FM’ is an 8-track remix album featuring some of The Lightning Kids' favourite artists including Sunglasses Kid, Cassetter, The Last Concorde, Kidburn, Adam Ford & Francci. 2 bonus tracks come from UK Techno DJ Amy Lauren and Belgium producer The Hawkins Kid.

Based around a theme of night-driving through Los Angeles in the mid-1980’s whilst listening to late-night FM radio stations, across chilled-Jams (Motel), 80’s power-MOR (California), Funk-Dance (Cool, The Boys Of Summer) and futuristic-synthwave (Ride), ‘FM’ re-imagines some of The Lightning Kids incredible debut œuvre.

After the success of her second studio album Circumstance and Circumstance (The Remixes), the Argentinean Retrowave songstress and producer LAU is back with Circumstance (Take Two), this time re-imagining her sophomore album with a fantastic group of international guest artists. Each vocalist re-wrote a part of the song, giving the whole album new life, and a brand new spin.

This album also includes the exclusive track “Two Strangers” (produced by Brian Skeel), which wasn’t included in the first take of album.

LAU felt that there was more to this story, so she’s invited Minute Taker (UK), I Am Boleyn (UK), The Lightning Kids (UK), Heartracer (USA), Pensacola Mist (UK), Lessus (Spain), Natalie Gray (UK), Alessandra Boldrini (Italy), Airport 366 (Switzerland) and Kidburn (Italy) to take on this new challenge.

The result is a fantastic new take on Circumstance, consisting of eleven Synthpop / Retrowave / Nu Disco tracks as originally produced by Brian Skeel (USA), Zak Vortex (UK), Ends 84 (France), Saint Innocent (France), Popcorn Kid (India), Adam Siana (Sweden) and TAKTA (Norway).

Even LAU’s popular cover version of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” got a new twist, with the fantastic Minute Taker as a guest vocalist.

Release date: July 28, 2023
