VanGuard Vs. Fred Falke
The kings of Welsh Disco VanGuard drop a giant sized slab of funk with their reMix of Fred Falke’ Wait For Love’
‘Wait For Love’ is a track that had been knocking around, in one form or another, for a few years now and VanGuard give it that kick it needs to bring it to the dancefloors of 2011, in their hands the track, admittedly a French Touch classic, sounds bigger, stronger, and funkier.

Goin’ Old School: Milli Vanilli – Girl You Know It’s True

Pyramid’s new tune
Here’s a nice Sunday Electro jam from Pyramid.
Dropped in thanks for hitting 1500 ‘likes’ on Facebook, ‘On A Walk’ is an instrumental analog synth balled with a Sci-Fi feel. We’re still loving the way Pyramid combines Italo style basses with more raw, live sounding elements along with his beautiful melodies and atmospheres.
Pyramid’s album, ‘Lost In Space’ is out now.

Annex 82
Annex 82 is the brainchild of Michigan based Electro producer Rob Salazar.
He’s just released his new EP, titled ‘Skylights’, and it’s five tracks of pure synth heaven. Taking the current SynthWave sound and giving it a slightly more grungy, more analog, feel Annex 82 come across with both the Italo groove of Dreamwave crossover tracks and the rockiness of the ballsier end of SynthPop. This instrumental collection kicks off with ‘Laserbeam’, which is is everything a synth-head could want from a track, taking cues from everything from ElectroPop to Disco via Italo it really sets a precedent for the rest of the EP. Annex 82’s tracks flow with an unexpected kind of machine funk, there is a groove hiding amongst the relentless rapid-fire robo synths, and an emotion to the melodies. ‘Roadgames’ and ‘astrid eVe’ both lay the ‘80’s vibe on thick, with the former even getting a little Daft Punk about it. This is a very impressive EP from an unknown that leaves us eager to hear more.
You can download the whole of Annex 82’s new EP for free on their SoundCloud.

Daft Punk reMixed by Moustache Machine
It’s got to be said, Moustache Machine never shy’s away from making brave choices when it comes to his selections of tracks to reMix. an reMixing Daft Punk certainly takes balls.
Luckily, MM has the chops to pull it off and delivers a funky as hell synthetic Disco tune that is respectful of the original and adds some of the smooth Moustache Machine French Touch to the mix. With nice work on the keys and production MM has nailed Nu-Disco again. Maybe it’s time we got some more original tunes?
