"Venice Beach" is a track by Futurecop! from their sparkling 2010 album It's Forever, Kids. Futurecop! was founded in 2006 and consists of British duo Manzur Iqbal and Peter Carrol. Though they have released only one album, they have a new EP out. Here's hoping their fantastic musicianship, knack for melody, gratuitous use of stingy synths chords and great sense of humor keep us entertained for years to come. Find them on soundcloud here.

New Futurecop! EP

Futurecop! is a UK-based act that has a small but promising discography of unabashedly retro 80s-inspired disco. To date, they have only one full-length album, It's Forever, Kids from 2010 (which was only released in Japan, sadly) featuring a healthy 14 tracks of highly energetic, pulse-pounding, sparkling synth rave-ups. Highlights include the frenetic opener "Transformers (Into the Future)", the epic ode to California summer "Venice Beach", and the synth-soaked emotion of "Street Hawk I".

Fortunately they're out with a new release his past October 2011, an EP named "The Adventures of Starpony", continuing in their theme of vintage animations.
