You might like: Arcade Eden

Signed to respected Indie label Ear Candy Music, Arcade Eden are built around brother and sister Clare and Lawrence, incorporating chiptune beats with solid basslines to produce music somewhere between a SNES game and rave in a field.

Even Rob Da Bank agrees, having awarded them a mainstage slot at his beloved Bestival out of a number of other IOW-based acts, propelling them further into the limelight

Obvious touchpoints are Crystal Castles and the electro triumvirate of Digitalism, Justice and Simian Mobile Disco, combining their stripped down beats with relentless energy and enthusiasm. Live Lawrence's darkly rumbling bass somewhat recalls Death From Above 1979's Jesse F. Keeler, coupled with Liam's danceable drums.

From the samples on display from their as-yet-untitled upcoming album, "One Night In Town" and "Know Your Enemies" are going to be early favourites.

Definitely worth checking out live, Arcade Eden are also due to play the unfortunately named Brownstock Festival in Chelmsford on July 11th, London Club Night We Don't Understand You on 6th August, and the aforementioned Bestival main stage set on the 11th September.
