<br />
In early November 2011, Gossip tweeted about being <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/GossipMusic/status/132418639184924673">at Xenomania</a>, so it is expected that their new album will include some sort of collaboration with the team.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://twitter.com/#!/JBAGlondon/statuses/134665980197605376">JBAG</a> (Jerry Bouthier & Andrea Gorgerino, from Kitsuné/Ponystep) are also working with Xenomania on new songs for Gossip's new album.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gossipyouth.com/">Gossip</a> are an American dance-rock/blues-punk trio led by Beth Ditto. Their latest release as a group was the album <i>Music For Men</i>, back in 2009. Beth Ditto released her debut solo EP this year, produced by the electro-house production team Simian Mobile Disco.<br />

This English pop noir trio has been in the studio with Xenomania working on their debut album, which is expected to be released in 2012.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thegoodnatured.co.uk/">The Good Natured</a> consists of 20-year-old Sarah McIntosh (vocals and keyboards), her brother Hamish McIntosh (bass) and George Hinton (drums).<br />
<br />
They have an electro-pop sound with a dark/gothic twist and have already released three EPs: <i>Warriors</i> (2008), <i>Your Body Is a Machine</i> (2009) and <i>Skeleton</i> (2011).<br />
<br />

<br />
She might be writing for other artists (let's not forget she co-wrote Mini Viva's "Left My Heart in Tokyo"), but she's probably also working on her new album, the follow-up to <i>Don't Stop</i>.<br />
<br />
She has also had sessions with Timo Kaukolampi, German techno producers ND Baumecker and Sam Barker and Norwegian DJ and producer Skatebård.<br />
<br />
Annie has been working on music for a film called <i>The Night Within</i>, in which she is also set to act and sing. That is also the title of her new EP, set to be released in early 2012.<br />

Not only did she release her second EP <i>Experiments</i> (which received rave reviews), but she also spent the year travelling around the world doing live shows, writing and modelling.<br />

During the past few months Alex Gardner has been updating his fans via <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/alexgardnernews">Twitter</a>/<a href="http://www.facebook.com/alexgardnermusic">Facebook</a> saying that he's working at Xenomania, possibly on his debut album.<br />
<br />
Besides Xenomania, Alex has also been recording with people such as James Fauntleroy (who co-wrote "No Air" by Jordin Sparks, Ciara's "Love Sex Magic" and "Shades" by Diddy-Dirty Money) and the 1500 or Nothin' collective.<br />
<br />
He released two singles in 2010 - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ly_Us6MOEM">"I'm Not Mad"</a> and <a href="http://vimeo.com/13937562">"Feeling Fine"</a> - and a Italy-only Xenomania-produced <a href="http://xenomanianews.blogspot.com/2010/07/alex-gardner-releases-debut-ep-in-italy.html">self-titled EP</a>.<br />

<br />
Together they have created what has been described as a "soulful floor filler", inspired by his childhood idols including Congolese legends Papa Wemba. Drawing influence from his Congolese heritage, Tres B's music mixes central African folk, hip-hop and soul.<br />
<br />
Tres B's new single, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rvFQSw0S40">"Lonely Man"</a>, a song about being young and lonely in London after leaving the Congo due to threat of political violence, will be released in February 2012.<br />
<br />
He was signed to Roundhouse Records in June 2010 and has since supported The Black Keys and been nominated for Best Male UK based Afro/Caribbean Act of 2010 at the BEFFTA Awards. His debut EP <i>Best Friend</i> was released in February last year.<br />

<br />
It is <a href="http://www.facebook.com/alexgardnermusic/posts/10150429011809675">known</a> that Sarah Harding has been spending time at the Xenomania studios, we just don't know what for. Feeding the ducks? Working on solo tracks? Working on *gasp* new Girls Aloud songs?<br />
<br />
In 2009 she recorded three Xenomania-produced songs for the <i>St. Trinian's 2</i> film soundtrack. Last year, Sarah <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2898674/Sarah-Harding-is-third-Girls-Aloud-singer-to-announce-shes-working-on-solo-material.html">apparently said</a> that she was working on a solo album, but nothing's been heard ever since.<br />
<br />
And Girls Aloud will definitely do "something" in 2012, to mark their 10th anniversary since "Sound of the Underground" was released. It will probably be a <a href="http://www.mtv.co.uk/news/girls-aloud/333404-girls-aloud-cheryl-cole-reunion-farewell-tour">tour</a>, but it could also be a new single/album, hopefully with Xenomania.<br />

<br />
After recording exclusively with the team throughout 2009 and 2010, these past months he was busy going around the US working with new producers in various studios - New York, Atlanta, Miami and LA.<br />
<br />
Alex Gardner was part of the roster of acts that were discovered and developed by Xenomania (which also included groups like Mini Viva and Vagabond). In 2010, he released two singles - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ly_Us6MOEM">"I'm Not Mad"</a> and <a href="http://vimeo.com/13937562">"Feeling Fine"</a> - and a Italy-only <a href="http://xenomanianews.blogspot.com/2010/07/alex-gardner-releases-debut-ep-in-italy.html">self-titled EP</a>, but his debut album is yet to be released.<br />
<br />
Besides Xenomania, Alex has been recording with people such as James Fauntleroy (who co-wrote "No Air" by Jordin Sparks, Ciara's "Love Sex Magic" and "Shades" by Diddy-Dirty Money) and the 1500 or Nothin' collective.<br />

The British-Irish boy band are currently working on their second album, after releasing their self-titled debut last year.<br />
<br />
The Wanted have played a big part in resurrecting a previously dying genre — One Direction (whom Xenomania have also worked with) and JLS are other key groups from the new crop of boy bands. For their new album, The Wanted have also been working with Steve Mac and Ed Drewett.<br />
<br />
You can watch a recent video of the boys at the Xenomania mansion, with brief appearances by Brian Higgins and Miranda Cooper:<br />

She told <a href="http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/interviews/a325493/nicola-roberts-interview-i-begged-for-kate-bush.html">Digital Spy</a> that the girls have a solid history with Xenomania, personally and musically, and it would be a "crime" for them not to reunite with the production/songwriting team:<br />
<blockquote><b>Digital Spy: So when are Girls Aloud releasing a new album?</b><br />
Nicola Roberts: We know next year is our tenth anniversary, and personally, I would love for that to happen.<br />
<br />
<b>DS: You've previously said you'd like to write songs for the next Girls Aloud album. Would you work with Xenomania again too?</b><br />
NR: It will probably be a bit of both to be honest. We have a history with Xenomania both personally and musically and it's very solid, so it would be a crime for us not to go back. I'm looking forward to us all setting up camp and working as a team again like all the other records. Now we're a bit older though, there's definitely room for some creativity.<br />
<br />
<b>DS: Do you think they've got a load of songs ready and waiting for you?</b><br />
NR: They're definitely not pressuring us to get back together, but they've probably got a load of stuff ready for us! I wouldn't be surprised at all </blockquote><br />

<br />
However, according to "a source", they will no longer work with Xenomania and instead plan to draw on personal experience for their next album.<br />
<br />
The "source" says: "In six months time it'll be back to work as normal – they are itching to get back in the studio. At the moment the Girls are really excited about their new beginning, although they are scratching their heads over who will create signature hits for them."<br />
<br />
"They are all grown women now. (...) They have all got so much more experience between them now. They have all been through so much and come out fighting – and they will reflect this in their tracks."<br />

<br />
<b>Download:</b> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?gdlhsh1c07dobtm">The Florrie Mixtape</a><br />
<br />
<b>Tracklist:</b><br />
The Rapture – No Sex For Ben<br />
Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand<br />
Cee Lo Green – Forget You<br />
Two Door Cinema Club – Something Good Can Work<br />
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – Garden<br />
Annie – My Love Is Better<br />
Delphic – Doubt<br />
Florence And The Machine – You Got the Love (Jamie xx Rework ft. The xx)<br />
Alex Gaudino – Destination Calabria (ft. Crystal Waters)<br />
Burns and Fred Falke – You Stopped Loving Me<br />
<blockquote><b>Florrie: </b><br />
«Here are ten of my favorite tunes at the moment; some are old, some new, but they all make me wanna dance around like a crazy person with a mean bass player expression on my face. I used Ableton Live to put the mix together. I’ve opened the mix with a song called “No Sex for Ben” by the Rapture. It’s an older track but I love the way they’ve created the beat out of bits of his vocal, and it was the soundtrack of my last trip to New York. It lasted about 24 hours and I played this song a hundred of times! I’ve put some Two Door Cinema Club in there; I’m touring with them at the moment and they are preeetty damn cool. There’s some Annie too. We’ve written together recently and I think she’s awesome.<br />
<br />
Two words: Barbra Streisand. I asked my fans what song they would choose for this mix and this Duck Sauce tune was one of the most popular. After a long awaited release it’s finally out this week in the UK and has gotta be heading for number one. It. is. brilliant. I get properly excited when I hear it!. Who next? Ah yes, Monsieur Fred Falke! He’s just done a new track with Burns and I think it’s gonna be BIG (check out the video, it’s tres jolie). I write a lot with Fred and he’s working on my album too…I love him! I won’t give away any more, you’ll have to listen for yourself…enjoy! *BARBRA STREISAND*»</blockquote><br />

Here's an excerpt from the article, where she talks about her favourite Girls Aloud records, how she recorded the initial vocals to all their songs and that the group will come back <i>when</i> the time is right and <i>if </i>the time is right:<br />
<blockquote>From Girls Aloud's debut album onwards, Coyle sang all the initial vocals in the studio, at the express wish of their producer, Brian Higgins of Xenomania. "From day one. Well, maybe not day one, but definitely week two. And that's how it worked from then onwards. The girls just left me to it." She nods. "And then they would come in and do their parts, and they would have their holidays."<br />
<br />
So Girls Aloud don't always make records together? "Oh yes. We were very, very separate. We didn't know it any other way." Coyle speaks in the past tense about the group all the time – although she bats off questions about whether they have split, or are splitting. "After the last record, it was the right time to go and do our own individual things, and then come back together when the time was right, if the time was right." Even when she is pushed, this is as far as she will go.<br />
<br />
However, she brims with enthusiasm for her favourite Girls Aloud records – their second album, What Will the Neighbours Say?, and their 2007 single, Can't Speak French. She liked dressing up in Marie Antoinette frocks for that video, she laughs, although "all that stuff" is far less important than the music. </blockquote><br />

An interesting detail: when the journalist met him in the pub for the interview, Pete was with ex-Xenomania Nick Coler. This is the part where Pete Wiggs talks about Xenomania:<b> </b><br />
<blockquote><b>Rock Feedback: Going back to Xenomania, there’s some history there?</b><br />
Pete Wiggs: Yes, the first thing he (Brian Higgins) did was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD2W9G-wXBQ">‘He’s on the Phone’</a>, as part of Motiv8, and they did a great mix of it, well, they made the song really, so there’s been some history, also on <i>Finisterre</i> there’s Xenomania input so yes, it’s been good for us.<br />
<br />
We met Nick [Coler] at Xenomania, when working on <i>Tales From Turnpike House</i>. Some of it was recorded there, 3 or 4 songs, the rest was with Ian Catt in Coulsdon, which is where loads of our stuff is recorded. Both Bob and I grew up in Croydon, and I’ve known Bob since I was approximately one.<b> </b><br />
