Various. Orbit Electro Volume 1.

Following People who still believe that electronic pop music is not more than a relic from the 80s have obviously missed a lot. Numerous acts from around the world, newcomers as well as established artists, use "sounds from the plug" again and again and reach the hearts of their listeners with this reputedly cold style. Some bands even succeed in becoming more than just a big name in the scene with electronic music. The Hamburg-based label Major Records has been concentrating on innovative electro pop from the start, and could already present an astonishing spectrum of this music style with the three volumes of the successful "elektrisch!" compilation series. Now, Major Records starts a new era of samplers with the title "Orbit Electro" on 19th June 2009. On this date, the first volume of "Orbit Electro" will be released: a double album with an exciting mixture of popular bands and new discoveries. With this new compilation, Major Records prove again their grasp for interesting electronic pop music, regardless of any clichés of the genre. With rare tracks and remixes, many bands add finesse to the tracklist, such as Mesh, Ladytron, IAMX, Onetwo, Celluloide, Mechanical Cabaret and Boytronic. New in the electronic orbit are promising acts such as Dragons, Aerophonics, Antilles and The Attery Squash. "Orbit Electro" will surely surprise its listeners with this unique lineup. Released on Major and available July 10th, 2009.
