Daze reMixes Chromeo
Better late than never Daze turns up to the ‘Hot Mess’ reMix party with his take on the Chromeo tune.
As well as bringing a bottle Daze comes loaded with thick 70’s synths and squelchy basslines. It’s pretty hard to stand out from the pack in the game that is reMixing ‘Hot Mess’ but Daze does his job by producing a Disco tune that is that tiny bit more retro than everyone else. This is a late night jam.

Mayer Hawthorne covers Chromeo
I’m never really sure what to make of bands putting cover versions of their own tracks by other bands on their releases. Did Kitsuné start it?
Here we have Mayer Hawthorne covering Chromeo and Solange Knowles’ ‘When The Night Falls’, taken from Chromeo’s ‘When The Night Falls Single’. Being Chromeo’s single it’s billed as written below, but surely that should be ‘Mayer Hawthorne – When The Night Falls (Chromeo Cover)’, no? Mayer Hawthorne being the artist. But I suppose that would screw up sales in iTunes or something. And as a blogger who am I writing about? Chromeo, or Mayer Hawthorne? Who get’s the picture and the purchase links? Today I’m going with Chromeo as it’s their single, but it does my head in.
Anyhoo, I’m sure you want to know about the music. Luckily after all that it’s pretty damn good. It is quite an achievement to take a Chromeo track and make it smoother, but Mayer Hawthorne manages it, bringing a laid back 70’s Funk to the track. Stick this track on and everything slips into slow motion/

Ghosts Of Venice X Chromeo
Ghosts Of Venice are next up to reMix Chromeo’s latest single ‘When the Night Falls’, turning the tune into a massive Nu-Disco monster.
Underpinned with a relentless Funky hook, Ghosts Of Venice’s mix doesn’t let up for start to finish, it’s flat out dancefloor gold. Layers of hypnotic Disco loops and snatches of Solange Knowles’ vocals build and intertwine tempered only with some heavy filtering. If it’s peak time and you’re trying to choose what ‘When The Night Falls’ reMix to play, I think you may have found you’re answer.

Chromeo & Lifelike; together again
Lifelike’s reMix of Chromeo’s ‘Needy Girl’ was one of the musical highlights of 2008, now the meeting of minds is happening once more with Lifelike’s new reMix of Chromeo’s forthcoming ‘when The Night Falls’ single.
Featuring Solange of the Knowles clan, ‘When The Night Falls’ will be the last single from Chromeo’s amazing ‘Business Casual’ album. Lifelike add a nice sheen of Frenchness to the track with his trademark digital bass and a solid understanding of the Disco dancefloor. It’s the little touches, stabs and sound effects that really make this reMix a bit rad, keeping things energetic and bombastic.

Chromeo & Hercules And Love Affair
Hercules And Love Affair are next up to reMix Chromeo’s next single, ‘When The Night Falls’.
Focusing on vintage synths, B-Boy Electro & House beats and Solange Knowles vocals H&LA’s reMix provides a nice contract to the funkin’ original and the super funkin’ Breakbot reMix. There’s even an element of Chiptune as the track progresses. If you are at all a fan of Chromeo and electronic music you’re going to love this. It’s a bit of a synth geek track, but in a way with groove.

Chromeo & Breakbot
The next single from Chromeo’s latest LP, ‘Business Casual’ is going to be smooth-as-hell ‘When The Night Falls’, with a sweet reMix line up.
Alongside Lifelike and Hercules And Love Affair, will stand this low down Funk version of the track from Breakbot. The Frenchman does a stellar job with his track, bringing some classy Moog Funk to the table and smoothing over an already smoothest-of-the-smooth track. Do you know how smooth that makes it? I don’t even know if you’re ready for this level of smooth. Listen with caution!

Mjolnir reMix Chromeo
Striking while the iron is hot, the guys from Jakarta, Mjolnir, are keeping their momentum going with this reMix of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’.
Smooth and funky as hell, Mjolnir revel in the vocoder Funk and turn the Disco up to 11 with the most head nod inducing walking bassline and chilled chords. If the Ride The Universe reMix is your peaking version of ‘Hot Mess’ then Mjolnir’s reMix is a blissful comedown.

Ride The Universe’s reMix of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’
Y’all can stop making reMixes of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’ now! Ride The Universe are in the house!
This is what Chromeo mixes should sound like. Like someone drove a dump truck full of synth Funk up to your house and deposited it’s cargo on your doorstep. Just listen to that talkbox riff, pure, addictive, genius! This track’s got everything you want to get the party started. Driving arpeggios to keep the energy up, the aforementioned talkbox riff, sweet 80′s chords and a wailing guitar to keep you inspired (take the Chromeo vocal track off the mix and it would make a very cool training montage track!). It feels like digitalfoxglove and the Fiero boys have really found their sound now and are really to step up to the plate and pate their place amongst the big hitters of Disco (was that two Baseball metaphors in one sentence? I’m English, I don’t even know what Baseball is!), melding 80’s soundtrack epicness with solid Disco grooves RTU are gonna’ be a force to be reckoned with. Like a sexy 80′s cop show theme with aspirations of tearing up the dancefloor this track this tune has something for everyone.

Chromeo reMixed by Sonic Soul
To say the world was inundated with reMixes of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’ right now would be an understatement, so standing out it quite a job!
Sonic Soul are up for that challenge. Their reMix of ‘Hot Mess’ has more Funk than a dump truck full of Funk driving up to Bootsy Collins house and dumped in his driveway. The duo of Andrew Napoleon and Leon Watson from the North East UK put the whole package into their reMix, a nice build, some awesome layered 80’s synth Funk with some real smooth riffs and our beloved electro toms, all of this working seamlessly with Dave 1’s vocals. They’ve added a sweet call-and-response vocoded finale too.
