Variety, well it can be quite a good thing. No? Well you're pretty screwed if you don't think so with this long-awaited/long ignored feature that we occasionally do. Because it's variety all the way this time.... enjoy!

色んな人から送られてきた中から紹介します。メールボックスの日です。とてもバラエティに富んでいます。長い間お待たせした人はごめんなさい。すべてのメールに目を通してるのは確実ですので。

Charlie Ash are an "Indie Synth Pop" band from New Zealand, maybe they sent us this by mistake or something. Because they are obviously a proper band who are well produced and everything. The track "Come Back Lover" is a catchy piece of music, nice guitars, nice synths it could be something Xenomania are behind... but we don't think so. It's "pop" enough to appease fans of Girls Aloud and "Indie" enough for people who don't want to admit they like pop songs. They will be touring with fellow Kiwi Ladyhawke in various places in the coming year. So check the myspace.
♫ Charlie Ash - Come Back Lover <--Admit that it is quite good.
♫ Charlie Ash - I Wanna Sex You Up

ニュージーランドからのCharlie Ash はインディーシンセポップバンドで、もしかしたら間違って私達に送って来たんじゃないか？っていう位出来が本格的です。 "Come Back Lover"というトラックはとてもキャッチーでギターとシンセがいい感じです。Girls Aloudやポップが好きだと認めたくないインディーファンの方にお勧め。同郷の Ladyhawkeと一緒にツアーを行うらしいのでマイスペースでチェックしましょう。

17 year old dance producers from Perth? Sound familiar? Well this time it's Perth, Scotland and these kids are called the Disco Wizards. According to the press release Frankmusic is a fan and they've yet to play in a club, we can somehow see this changing by the end of the year if they keep on producing these kind of delightful synthy sounds. Both of the tracks we are posting are quite subtle at first and then build quite slowly, creeping up on you until suddenly, they strike! POW!
♫ Disco Wizards - Here All Alone <--POW!
♫ Disco Wizards - Geodude

PerthからのDisco Wizards。彼らはまだクラブでプレイした事がない様ですが、このまま素敵なシンセポップを作り続けていれば今年の終わりまでには見れるんじゃないかと思います。今回載せる2曲はゆっくりでなんとなく微妙な出だしな物のいきなりドカン！と来る感じです。

FrapFrapFrap are from Tokyo and are making some very bouncy 8-Bit sounds, they sent us this remix of Blur's "Girls & Boys" which is pretty much just a very fun track which samples some noises from one of the Sonic games if we're not mistaken. They have similar sounding original productions on their myspace.
♫ Blur - Girls & Boys (FrapFrapFrap Remix)

東京からのFrapFrapFrap は軽快な8-Bitが特徴で今回はBlurの"Girls & Boys"のリミックスを送ってくれました。恐らくソニック（ゲーム）から引用したサンプルが面白くオリジナルも似た感じのトラックが多くマイスペースでもチェックできますよ。

Ben from Sweet Touch Records told us about Emil & Friends and their uber reworking of Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead" it kinda has a Hot Chip feeling about it and to be honest Emil & Friends have a real nice selection of tracks on their myspace too, we'll be taking closer look at these guys in the future now for sure, so why don't you?
♫ Emil & Friends - Sleephead (Passion Pit Cover)

Sweet Touch RecordsのBenからはEmil & Friends の素敵なPaasion Pitのリワーク版 "Sleepyhead"をお勧めされました。なんとなくHot Chip的な要素を持っていて、センスの良さはマイスペースをみてもわかるとおり。今後も期待です。
