beaumont reMixes Rüfüs
beaumont takes time out from his inventing a new genre of slowed down, laid back Nu-Disco to return to his Dreamwave/Nu-Disco roots with his new reMix of Rüfüs’ ‘We Left’.
Proving without a shadow of a doubt that he still has the skills to rock the Disco, this reMix is a full-on solid electronic epic with it’s feet on the dancefloor and it’s head in the clouds. It’s got all the right 80’s cues, and all the right Nu-Disco cues, in all the right places. beaumont’s sweeping phased synths work particularly well with the track’s vocals. The reMix features on On The Fruit’s release of ‘We Left’, as a single, alongside reMixes from Ride The Universe and SymbolOne .

Clancy’s ‘Panther’ EP
One of the UKs most exciting up-and-coming producers Clancy drops his new EP today, his first for ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’.
The ‘Panther EP’ sees Clancy at his Dreamwave finest with three original tracks and a couple of reMixes. The title track is five minutes of synthesizer bliss. Almost Futurecop!-esque in it’s ElectroPoppiness, ‘Panther’ is retro synth perfection, from the digital bass to the uplifting 80’s chords, this is how it should be done. Noting about ‘Panther’ doesn’t make you feel good. ‘4000 Shards’ is more designed to make you move. Ironically it growls a bit more than ‘Panther’. Definitely a nightdrive of a tune, ‘4000 shards’ is the cop film to ‘Panthers’ teen movie. The trilogy is made up by ‘Bite The Lightning’, a pure retro dancefloor workout that is nothing short of genius, and easily cements Clancy’s place amongst the top producers making Nu-Disco/Dreamwave today.
♫ Clancy – Panther
♫ Clancy – 4000 Shards
reMixes are supplied by beaumont and StardonE. beaumont treats us to a nice clash between the ChipTune Disco sounds we are used to from him and a laidback piano led vibe that has us looking forward to his début EP for Holographic more than ever. Korea’s awesome StardonE add a little of his Cosmic Disco to the mix with a reMix epic reMix that plays the EP out on a high.

Beaumont’s ‘Skyline’
Hot on the heels of his last offering, ‘City Meets Soldier’, Melbourne producer Beaumont keeps his momentum going with a brand new single, ‘Skyline’.
In a kind of evolutionary cycle Beaumont started out producing Disco and Electro tunes, then he applied his skills in their area to more atmospheric, soundtrack-like pieces, and now with ‘Skyline’ he brings the beat back but retains the epic and evocative nature of his recent tunes. ‘Skyline’ is almost a feel-good antidote to ‘City Meets Soldier’’s intensity. It’s the hope for the future in the face of adversity, the picking yourself up after a fall, the sunrise after a night spent chewing your face off. It’s got some corking reMixes too!
♫ Beaumont – Skyline (Beaumont reMix)
Show Your Shoe and Fiero step up to the plate for reMix duties with Show Your Shoe getting his extreme Funk on in a way that will surely solidify his reputation as one of the most talented producers of Electro/Disco/Funk around, while the Firero boys round of the EP by bringing more smooth than you can handle with some seriously majestic Dreamwave sounds.

Show Your Shoe reMixes EP with Beaumont
Show Your Shoe’s recent ‘Technik City’ EP had had a reMix makeover.
‘Technik City Revisited’, currently a Juno exclusive, holds four versions of tracks from the original EP featuring work from Coupons, Flashworx, Mitch Torino and includings this version of ‘Jet Skiing’ by Beaumont. The man gets deep and dark with the rhythm section in a slow, brooding track that threatens to suffocate you but give you glimmers of hope with sparking lead lines and Disco licks. There really needs to be a genre name for Beaumont’s slowed down Disco and Dreamwave. DiscoStep? Dubwave? LOL

Beaumont’s début EP
In a really fucked up coincidence it is exactly two years, to the day, that we first posted about Beaumont (well, his first solo post, if you discount a post about a Ladyhawke reMix), and it’s this day that he chooses to release his début EP!
So, what’s changed in two years? Well, we’ve seen the man develop and hone his studio skills, we’ve seen a maturing and evolution in the musicality of his work, but he’s never really strayed too far from his vision. Even in his early work you can hear hints that where he is now is where he was headed all along. The mixing up of Nu-Disco, Dreamwave and ChipTune that became Beaumont’s trademark always had a certain epicness to it that has now found a distinctive voice in his current Downtempo-Dreamwave (for want of a better description) output. ‘City Meets Soldier’ is an eight minute musical narrative that slides from mood to mood, kept in check with a solid groove. These seems to be seven distinctive parts, or chapters, to the track that each have something to say individually whilst advancing the overall arrangement. Now, I have no idea whether that’s just me reading too much into the track, but it’s pretty sophisticated songwriting and would appear to be the culmination of Beaumont’s recent interest in more atmospheric and evocative music.
It’s also pretty easy on the ears!
♫ Beaumont (Feat. Ill Collins) – City Meets Soldier (Original Mix)
There’s four reMixes on the EP, by the likes of Shelby Gray, Farfetched Clancy and Ren Riz. The latter two take the track straight back to the dancefloor. Ren drops a slightly Acid flavoured Electro-House track, the kind that completely absorbs you on the dancefloor while Clancy seriously raised the bar with what is probably my favourite reMix on the EP that hold onto Beaumont’s epic feel and wraps it in some sweet sweet Disco.

Right, Reader, you have a choice now, and I’m trusting you as a person of integrity and taste to make the right decision. You can pick up the ‘City Meets Soldier’ EP two ways. Beaumont is giving it away, all five tracks, on his SoundCloud as 128kbps mp3s, or you can grab the whole EP in it’s full 320kbps nuanced format for a paltry $4 from Beaumont’s Bandcamp site.
You know what to do.

More new music from Beaumont
Australian producer Beaumont continues his journey into the deeper, more atmospheric, side of electronica with his latest tune, ‘Oblivion’.
‘Oblivion’ sees Beaumont playing more with Disco and Dreamwave sounds at mid-tempos allowing him to express himself and his musicality to a greater, and more emotionally resonating, level. The intertwining of piano and synth strings evoke feelings of introspection and thoughtfulness with a streak of hope running throw-out. Reminiscent of Vangelis and Tangerine Dream in it’s use of sweeping sounds Beaumont keeps his connection to Electro with a solid beat and driving bassline.
Beaumont’s début EP is scheduled for release very soon!

Shelby Grey’s ‘Echoes, Dimensions & Waves’
Shelby Grey (A.K.A. Victor Palomo) releases new single ‘Echoes, Dimensions & Waves’ tomorrow.
Featuring the vocal talent’s of Ricco Vitali, the voice of Futurecop!’s ‘Venice Beach’ and the man behind Cavaliers Of Fun, ‘‘Echoes, Dimensions & Waves’ is a hypnotic ElectroPop track with an almost Balearic Nu-Disco groove. This is a real laid back tune, best suited for those sunset moments when the world is full of opportunity and promise, where it provide the prefect soundtrack. With that digital slap bass and smooth vocals this is the track I’d want to hear after a long night.
♫ Shelby Grey (Feat. Ricco Vitali) – Echoes, Dimensions & Waves
Not always sunrise? Don’t worry, this amazing reMix package holds a track for every mood. Beaumont is first up, with another downtempo electro track. The man could quite easily carve a solid niche for himself with track like this. Completely enveloping synth atmospherics with a solid beat. Clancy’s tracks just keep getting stronger and stronger and his mix here is a full on Dreamwave floorfiller to get lost in. Speaking of Dreamwave, One of the pioneers of the sound, Valerie’s Stephen Falken drops a reMix of soundtracky, sweeping retro Electro that get’s it’s synth groove on in a massive build whilst Worship’s contribution is an awesome analog synth Disco odyssey that appeals to the synth geek in me in ways I cannot express!

More new Beaumont
Blimey Beaumont’s been busy this week! This is the second fresh track this week!
I think we’re starting to see a pattern emerging in Beaumont’s more recent releases, he’s defiantly favouring a more mid-tempo, melodic groove these days. Which kinda’ makes sense, having spent the last few years cutting his teeth and honing his skills producing big dance tracks to now apply that knowledge to more epic, moving, tunes is a good call. Not that we would mind more of the pounding Beaumont tracks, but these majestic, almost soundtracky (yup, I’ve decided ‘soundtracky’ is a word), productions where the Electro sounds and techniques are brought back to a more chilled out and emotional place are pretty musically spot-on.
It Is possible that Beaumont is working on some soundtrack in secret, or is just soundtracking his own life…

Beaumont’s ‘Wings Like The Sun’
Mr. Beaumont dropped a new tune a couple of days ago, a laid back summery groove for this blistering Easter holiday weekend.
This track is exactly what I needed to drop into the electronic rumors inbox in time for the weekend, a synthesizer slow-jam, a Dreamwave love song, this track revels in, and is a celebration of, synths sounds. Beaumont listed the genre, on SoundCloud, as ‘Love song’, I would call it a ‘love song to the synthesizer’! Bits of Vangellis and bits of Moroder spring to mind when listening to ‘Wings Like The Sun’, it’s a dreamy Disco vibe that really is making me question what I am doing indoors writing this?!?!
See ya!

Also, check out this reMix Beaumont has done that I really can’t talk about or the gods of journalism will strike me down, but it’s awesomely good with a cool Van She Tech vibe that is just badass.
♫ Goteki – Shoot Me Dead (Beaumont reMix)
Beaumont is a reMix machine, loads more on the way and a début EP very close to completion!
Rüfüs get reMixed by Beaumont
The excitement about Rüfüs doesn’t seem to stop growing. Since their own EP release, and the news of the forthcoming reMix EP on On The Fruit Records, this Syndey trio are getting killer press and going from strength to strength.
But Wait…Beaumont’s in the house! Tackling the track from a deeper Electro groove than we’re used to from Beaumont turned out to be a great idea. Not only does his reMix give the track a driving dancefloor kick but lifts it to an almost cinematic place too, which seems to make the vocals more emotive. Euphoric Electro anyone?

Rüfüs’s rEMix EP is out soon, you can pick up their début EP now.
