Edwin Van Cleef reMixes MiGHty mOUse
Oh boy, been waiting for this one! We’ve been pretty enamoured with MiGHty mOUse’s ‘Between The Pavement And The Stars’ for a couple of months now, we love it’s Heaven 17 Disco vibe and ever since we were teased with Edwin Van Cleef’s reMix in his May mixtape it has been on out list of ‘things we really need to hear’.
So here it is, and it doesn’t disappoint. Cleefy brings it deep and smooth with an uplifting sunrise Disco version of Might Mouse’s first single as a full band.. There’s a nice amount of space in Edwin’s mix, it’s not cluttered or over layered, it’s got an infectious groove and gives the tune room to breathe. The distant guitar licks and and Tropical percussion conjure a relaxed vibe that presents the vocals in a new light. The whole song has a totally different, but complimentary, feel to the original.
♫ MiGHty mOUse – Between The Pavement And The Stars (Edwin Van Cleef reMix)
‘Between The Pavement And The Stars’ is released 18th July with a stellar line up of reMix talent including Mario Basanov, Edwin Van Cleef, Blamma! Blamma!, Tronik Youth, and Tareq.

Edwin Van Cleef’s cover of ‘Lisztomania’
Ever since it was premiered on this week’s episode of Fear Of Tigers’ ‘The Guestlist’ (which also featured yours truly!) discerning music lovers everywhere have been buzzing about Edwin Van Cleef’s cover of Phoenix’s much loved ‘Lisztomania’. Now it’s here!
Featuring the vocal skills of Jane Hanley from Kids At Midnight, Edwin’s cover is more laid back that we are used to from the man. Favouring a solid groove over frantic Nu-Disco Van Cleef proves his ability to handle, with equal ease, smooth DiscoPop. Jane’s vocals work amazingly well with the track, lending a smokey, sultry quality to the track.
Tomorrow’s supposed to be just as hot as today, I intend to throw this track on and turn it up.
♫ Edwin Van Cleef (Feat. Jane Hanley) – Lisztomania
I’ll make no excuses of thinking this is 100% better than the original!
Edwin Van Cleef & Chilly Gonzales
Chilly Gonzales’s ‘You Can Dance’ continues to blow up on dancefloors up and down the country. I was particularly to hear Annie Mac drop our friends Walter Sobcek’s reMix on her show on Friday night.
The original track is awesome and the reMixes are all hot as fuck, but, good grief, Mr. Van Cleef has really outdone himself this time!
Edwin Van Cleef’s reMix is a steel drum Dreamwave epic that gets it so right, from the the funking bassline to the jazzy solo. It’s so majestic you just have to bow down in it’s presence.
♫ Chilly Gonzales – You Can Dance (Edwin Van Cleef reMix)
Gonzales’ ‘You Can Dance’ EP with reMixes by Walter Sobcek, Edwin Van Cleef and Gemini Club is out now!
Edwin Van Cleef reMixes the hell out of Nelly Furtado
The man Edwin Van Cleef is one of the UK’s best unsung talents and a guy who doesn’t release nearly enough tunes to keep us happy!
Lucky for us, then, he’s dropped this massive reMix of Nelly Furtado’s new single ‘The Night Is Young’ just in time for X-mas. From it’s bouncy bassline to it’s huge chords and 80’s-esq melody line, this is Nu-Disco done perfectly buy one of the guys who helped shape the sound.
Enjoy:

Edwin Van Cleef Vs. Housse De Racket
French Indie synth wizards Housse De Racket are releasing their début album, ‘Forty Love’, for the first time in the UK later this month packaged up with an extra CD choc full of reMixes.
One of the reMixes on the ‘Bonus reMix Edition’ is this blistering tune from the north’s finest Dreamwave export Edwin Van Cleef. His take on HDR’s ‘Champions’ is a smooth, feel good, jam that immerses you in synth goodness.
♫ Housse De Racket – Champions (Edwin Van Cleef reMix)
‘Forty Love (Bonus reMix Edition)’ is released 22nd August, Housse De Racket are celebrating with a live event in London on the 12th.
Edwin Van Cleef reMixes Funkstar De Luxe
It seems like it’s been a while since we heard from Valerie House-meister Edwin Van Cleef, but he has cropped up reMixing Funkstar De Luxe’s latest single ‘Do You Feel?’.
Van Cleef’s reMix is smooth, radio friendly, Electro Disco jam, keeping the vocals of the original intact and injecting some of that retro inspired synth groove we would expect from the man.

Edwin Van Cleef reMixes Vicknoise
Spanish club producer Vicknoise has just dropped a new EP titled ‘Get Away’. The EP contains the original, a reMix from Shelby Grey and this storming mix from Dreamwave hero Edwin Van Cleef.
In a seriously soaring reMix Edwin lets rip with spaced out leads flying all over the place and one of the nicest analog rhythm lines I have heard in a while, not quite Acidic, but on the way there.

Edwin Van Cleef is Overtaken
He’s dropped some killer remixes in recent times and it’s finally time for UK Dreamwave producer Edwin Van Cleef to release his début EP, ‘Overtaken’ and it’s already getting some Radio1 love!
‘Overtaken’ is a pumping House tune washed with soaring 80’s synth. With the mainstream radio play maybe Edwin is finally bringing the Dreamwave/Valerie-esq sound to the masses!
The reMix is provided by Mille who, already this month, wowed us with his mix of Marina And The Diamonds’ ‘Mowgli’s Road’. Here his work doesn’t drop the ball, quality-wise and his name defiantly goes on the “I’ll probably like reMixes by…” pile!
He even drops some C64/SID sounds toward the end for some massive 8-bit disco!
