Continuing in the new ladies of dance vein, I'd like to take some time to discuss another one of my early 2009 favorite acts, La Roux. Hailing from Southeast London, Elly Jackson, aka La Roux, is taking the new wave of UK Dance-Pop to new places, bringing together aspects of international 80's pop chic (think Gary Numan, Prince and Blondie partying together with maybe a little less coke), influences from bigger UK electronic acts such at Hot Chip, and a hint of the burgeoning electro explosion, mixing them together and standing out among all sorts of new comers. It's not hurting her any that she's working with the disco hot shots over at Kitsune, touring with Lily Allen, getting remixed by a ton of big names, or is friends with another one of my favorites Mr. Sebastien Tellier either. And she's super fucking cute! For your listening and viewing pleasure here's 'In For the Kill' and the most beautiful remix Skream's ever done.
