We’ve got the latest jam from Aussie Ren Riz right here.
This guys tunes keep getting better and better. With ‘Beside Me’ he flips into French-House mode, heavy on the Disco breaks and the filtering and rocks a really simple, but well used vocal sample. A couple of nice drops keeps the energy going as the track rolls over a running bassline. This tune deserves to tear up some dancefloors, I hope it gets the chance to soon.
You can still pick up Ren Riz’s ‘Swamp’ single:
Parisian producer Mr. Gonzo stopped by the electronic rumors Inbox to give us the lowdown on his recently released EP ‘Extended Play Area’.
He may be operating out of Paris but Mr. Gonzo was observed for the first time in 2010, around the giant elliptical galaxy M87. Which must be where his brand of laid back Cosmic Disco comes from. With some deep grooves and ear warping synths the lead track off the EP, ‘Magic Cherry’ is the kind of thing Buck Rodgers is getting’ down to in the 21st Century (obviously, not this 21st Century, y’know, the future 21st Century), and while we can only imagine what kind of Sci-Fi Disco goodness went goes on in the far future we can console ourselves with the fact that Mr. Gonzo’s slick Nu-Disco tunes are going to get our good old 2011 dancefloors moving.
‘Extended Play Area’ is out now and features three original tunes with support from reMixes by Quentin 909 and Playbic :
Here is the hot off the press video for Ellie Goulding’s ‘Lights’, which means we’re finally getting a single release after the hump that was ‘Your Song’.
Not only is it, in my opinion, the best song that wasn’t off the ‘Lights’ album, but this is the best video she’s made since ‘Starry Eyed’.
Ellie + Drums is always awesome.
Can’t wait for the reMixes!
You can currently buy on ‘Lights’ a the extended version of the ‘Lights’ album, called ‘Bright Lights’. Confused yet?
Sferro is the solo project of Eric Sferro, head honcho at Girlfriend Records, and he’s just let loose his début EP, for free.
The EP, ‘New Output’ contains 4 tracks of sweeping, 80’s soundtrack inspired, electronic epics. Leaning more toward the Valerie end of the Dreamwave spectrum, Sferro’s music is intricate and absorbing, as if written as a soundtrack to your like, personally. Analog synth lines ascend, fall and intertwine over Old School Electro beats to create something pretty special that never fails to keep your musical interest.
‘New Output’ is another fine free release from Girlfriend Records.
French Disco-House producer of the moment Bestrack dropped a new reMix this week. Japanese reMix king Captain Funk’s ‘Peice Of You’ gets a massive French Touch going over at Bestrack’s multi-instrumentalist hands.
With big riffs, big beats and big funk this reMix is a proper Filter-House/ElectroPop head-on collision. It may be Sunday evening but this is powerful, uplifting stuff that will make you feel like the weekend’ll go on forever.

‘Peice Of You’ is out soon
Last month we dropped Human Life’s amazing reMix of Noisy ElectroPop duo Polygon Palace’s latest single ‘We Have A Visual’, now we can present the original version of the track and a reMix by the underrated Popskarr.
‘We Have A visual’ is a slice of organised Indie-Electro chaos, if you’re only used to the Human Life reMix you’ll be surprised at how gritty it is. That rawness is part of it’s charm though. Of the two promo photos that Polygon Palace sent us I chose to use this live shot ‘cos that how the music sounds, live and exiting. i wouldn’t go so far as to say punky, but their brand of ElectroPop has a bit more balls than your usual clean, superproduced, tunes. Popskarr (who produced an excellent reMix for Short Circuit’s Let Go’) turns in a deep DiscoPop track with a hypnotic bassline countered with some of the sparkliest of sparkling sytnhs and somehow manages to tame the beast that is Polygon Palace.

Polygon Palace’s ‘We Have A visual’ is out now on Forum5.
OK, so what do you get when you cross the organic, chilled Indie-SynthPop of RüFüS (who we introduced you to a couple of days ago) and the slick sounds of Dreamwave/Nu-Disco supergroup (Yes, I said “supergroup”! Live with it) Ride The Universe?
A rad slice of brain-meltingly smooth Disco, that’s what!
Ride The Universe is, of course, a collaboration between talented German producer digitalfoxglove and LA party starters Fiero, and what they have dropped here is the kind of tune that makes babies. Seriously, the DJ drops this tune, you grab a hot girl (or guy), and you aren’t going home alone! The bassline alone, with a killer well placed slide is enough to get you moving…
♫ RüFüS – We Left (Ride The Universe reMix)
Cannot wait for more of RTU’s cosmic goodness.
RüFüS’s self-titled début EP is out now on their own label, Monekeleon, and later in the year we’ll see On The Fruit Records release ‘We Left’ with reMixes from SymbolOne, Go Go Bizkitt!, Broke One, Beaumont, Springflower, Monsieur Adi as well as Ride the Universe!
A month or so ago I completely missed out on posting a couple of tracks by Oliver, they just slipped though the net and I never got round to it. Which is a pity as they were on my mp3 player pretty heavily. This week they dropped a couple of new reMixes, that allows me the opportunity to make up for it.
The two Olivers in Oliver are Vaughn Oliver (U-Tern) and Oliver Goldstein (Oligee), awesome producers and reMixers in their own rights, who have teamed up to drop some funky Nu-Disco on the masses. Their first new tracks, ‘All Night’ and ‘Walk With Me’ , boast the most powerful of power 80’s synth chords atop some slammin’ Disco grooves. ‘All Night’, particularly, is like Filter House and Dreamwave wrestling naked in jelly while ‘Walk With Me’ is slightly more cinematic, in the sense that you can’t listen to it without imagining a bunch of kids dancing in the street in legwarmers.
This week Oliver let loose two reMixes. The first, of Dance-Pop act Black Cards’ new single ‘Dominoes’ is pure Robo-Disco, as if Kraftwerk made Nu-Disco while playing Nintendo and their truly epic reMix of Chromeo’s forthcoming ‘Hot Mess’ single, which is spine-tinglingly good and has a power riff that has to be heard to be believed.

Hello, still on the fence about the new Cut Copy album, I hope it will be good, I suppose I’ll have to wait and see.
We’re always up for hearing a new Azari & III track, though. With this reMix of Cut Copy;s lead single from their forthcoming album, ‘Take Me Over’, they go deep deep down with hypnotic, pulsating bass and filtered stabs until the Acid warbling emerges from the mix. The track then takes on an proper Acid House feel, even the backing vocals are pure 1989!
♫ Cut Copy – Take Me Over (Azari & III reMix)
Cut Copy’s new album is due out soon
