If there’s one thing we love here at All Things Go, it’s summer anthems. This year, Icona Pop are leading way with their bangin’ new single, “I Love It” (via Universal / Company TEN). It’s just about as catchy, electric, and well, fun, as humanly possible. The Stockholm-based duo prove once again that pop music comes as second nature to most Scandinavians.

Hot on the heels of “Neon,” the killer first single off the Queen Of Hearts double A-side 7″, we get another taste with the Stefan Storm (of Sound Of Arrows fame) produced “Tears In The Rain.” This one has a anthemic feel to it with mesmerizing synths, captivating vocals, and a lush, dreamy chorus. Truly enchanting; as expected. The limited edition Neon/Tears In The Rain 7″ drops May 14th via ATG Records.

The third single off ATG Records, “Neon” by Queen Of Hearts, has been spreading like wildfire. In addition to garnering stellar support from the likes of PopJustice, Notion Magazine, and Ministry of Sound TV, the track has attracted some of the top remixers in the game.

Today, we’ve got a two truly excellent reworks to throw your way. The first, a nearly 8-minute electronic journey from British legend, Mark Reeder (Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Paul van Dyke). The heavy-hitting producer strips the original to its core, ignites each element with his signature flare, and delivers an explosive cut that’s 100% ready for the dance floor. The second, a dark, driving edit, from Brooklyn’s Ghost Beach. The up-and-coming duo are set to make a big slash in 2012, and certainly know what’s up when it comes to producing a first-rate remix.

The “Neon” 7″ officially drops May 14th via ATG Records.
