In the 80′s retro jungle: Give Relation a try

Relation: UK synth pop.

So, everyone’s doing the 80′s nowadays. Some with melodic hints and synthy references every now and then, like Way Out West on their terrific We Love Machine album. And some adapt the complete 80′s sound. I don’t mind, I’m a sucker for 80′s synth pop.

If you are too, check out this blend of Chromeo, Depeche Mode, Human League and whatnot from the decade of high hair and shoulder pads: Relation. This is two guys from Essex, UK. They claim they make essextronica, naturally.

Try Relation at MySpace. You may also listen to Your Tiny Mind at YouTube, just be aware of the goofy music video.

Speaking of Relation and the 80′s, there’s no way around the Lifelike remix of the track mentioned above. Lifelike has done a number of retro style house remixes, and this is by far the best I’ve heard. Enjoy the video below.

Who do you think makes the best electronica inspired by the 80′s in 2009?
