They came to exist originally as the remix and production duo of Alex Payne and Aaron Gilbert, and in no time released a series of acclaimed remixes of artists as diverse as Depeche Mode, New Order, Electric Six, and even our favorites The Enemy.

They soon started working on their own material and after a series of singles released their debut album through Payne’s own indie label Critical Mass.

They glossed up their sound soon after with the addition of Heidrun who was previously from electronic act Gus Gus, and there was no turning back. They spent nothing on marketing then and the record still sold over 30,000 copies.

Their version of light progressive electro/house cuts right through our heart so naturally we are excited.

Roulette effortlessly ranges in styles; from the best moments of vintage electro-pop on the euphoric lead single ‘Metropolis’, to the darkest recesses of electronic-indie on ‘Executive’, featuring Tom Smith of Editors on vocals. It will appeal to dance/electronic/indie/pop fans alike. (Source)
