[Audio] Monsieur Adi reMixes Say Lou Lou

We’ve been looking forward to this one. We twigged a few weeks ago that the amazing Monsieur Adi was reMixing the new single from Australian/Swedish sisters Say Lou Lou new single Julian. It’s a deep, emotional song, just the kind of thing that we imagined Adi could really get his teeth into, and he did, and here it is.

It’s actually quite old school Adi. A warm Dreamwavey Nu-Disco track, loaded with ElectroPop affectations. A big French Touch floorfiller, Adi plays with the mood of the track perfectly, giving it a dancey boost without loosing and if the tune’s inherent romanticism. Pulsing synthetic bass, effecting stabs and big airy pads mingle together and wisp around the vocals like smoke. Adi the producer of the moment, and in high demand, and this reMix shows just why. This is how you reMix for the dancefloor and stay classy.

[Audio] Rex Ronan’s début EP

Rex Ronan is the latest signing to the always excellent Girlfriend Records. This Coventry based producer is an ex-live player of Martin Bowes’ avant-garde Electro Industrial outfit Attrition (ahhh Acid Tongue!) whos been producing solo for a while now, but recently got together with GFR to release his début EP, Beyond, which out released next Tuesday.

The EP kicks off with Incoming, which gently sets up the EP without dropping you straight into some of the frantic, high-octane tracks that appear later. Incoming works a range of breezy buzzing riffs and ringing synths over a storming beat for a driving, but uplifting result. Coastal continues the same pace, but injects a little groove into it’s bassline giving that track a breezy, laid back, Disco side to it. This one is definitely one of the EP’s highlights and could do well in any DJ’s crate. Up next is Beyond, a pumping Electro-House track that blends in a little bitcrushed grittiness and a little big room flavour. Where Ronan shies is his chord progressions and epic melodies, bring a wave of emotional resonance into a huge dance track. The EP plays out on Spell, a sidechaned-to-all-hell tune that combines the worlds of SynthWave and French Touch to make you feel likes it’s 2007 again. Electro on! The only problem with the EP we found was in a few of the tracks, most noticeably Incoming and Beyond, Rex has a tendency to drop in little DJ flourishes, which you don’t really want on original tunes, it makes it sound a bit like you’re listening to a good track on some kid’s YouTube DJ mix wondering why he can’t leave the Flanger alone, it’s a small gripe though, and doesn’t really detract from how good an EP this really is.

[MP3] Lifelike reMixes Futurecop!

A couple of weeks ago we gave you the skinny on Futurecop!’s new single, Atlantis 1997, mentioning that there was a remix on the single from French Touch pioneer Lifelike. Well now, as the single draws ever closer to it’s late March release, we can give you a listen to that very reMix. Its downloadable too!

Atlantis 1997 is a carefree Dreamwave track in which Ricco Vitali from Cavaliers Of Fun delivers a anthemic, summery vocal. Lifelike uses this vocal to it’s fullest over a big filtered Disco backing. Concentrating on the songs chorus, and adding a few chop-up into the mix, Lifelike delivers punchy bass, smooth keys and slick sheen that can only come from being a master of your art. This mix swirls around your ears like euphoric smoke, drawing you into it’s groove.

[MP3] Jupiter reMixed by Mr. Gonzo

French Nu-Disco producer Mr. Gonzo is on a roll right now. Hot on the heels of his storming new single with Romuald, Gon Be A Thrill, his is the first reMix to break cover from the long rumoured Jupiter reMix album. The amazing Parisian ElectroPop duo have roped in a star studded cast to rework their Juicy Lucy album of last year. Mr. gonzo will be rubbing shoulder with the likes of Little Boots, Yan Wagner, Para One & Tacteel, JBAG, Juveniles, The Supermen Lovers, Steve Moore, Marius, and Colour Vision, which is quite scary company. Let’s see how he does.

Elliot Uppercut, one of the standouts on a stand out album, is the track Gonzo gets to grips with and fully delivers on smooth and sexy French Touch Disco. Despite being quite high energy, Mr. Gonzo manages to keep things on a laid back tip using lush synths and a sliding Disco bassline to their fullest. Amélie’s vocals sound as sweet as ever as the glide over. The synths in this reMix are so think, they melt into the track like chocolate, creating this delicious Disco ooze. This is a track mirrorballs were invented for. It’s so brilliant it’s like an audio lens-flare

[Audio] Reflex reMix DJ Cam

Uncomfortable was a single from French legend DJ Cam we featured around this time last year. At the time the release was slated to include a reMix from one of our favourite bands in the world, fellow French ElectroPoppers Reflex, but it never showed up (not in any official capacity anyway). Now, a year later Cam is bringing out a remix album, succinctly titled reMixed, and low and behold here’s Reflex’s work.

Reflex utilise their penchant for buzzing, funky, synths to it’s fullest here dropping a bucket load of raw analog Disco goodness. Mixing up Chris James’ soulful vocals with Relfex’s galactic synthetic soundtrack results in something a little more exciting than previous reMixes. Arpeggios fly left and right, amid swirling clouds of thick synth tones as Reflex’s SynthPop meets a groove laden Disco bassline. it’s so good I can’t even remember the others.

[MP3] Futurecop!’s new single

Later this month, the UK’s SynthWave champions Futurecop! release their brand new single. A precursor to their forthcoming album, Hopes, Dreams & Alienation, the single features vocal work from Ricco Vitali from Cavaliers Of Fun and a whole host of reMix talent, including the likes of Lifelike and Stellar Dreams.

Atlantic 1997 is pure Futurecop!. Long time live favourite, the track us an uplifting rush of nostalgic synthesizer power. Waves of rich synths compliment the steady Italo Disco groove and produce the a dreamy 80s soundtrack. the disco swing of the track, combined with Vitali’s anthemic, and catchy, vocal gives the track a holiday sheen. It’s all carefree good times. French Disco underdogs Uppermost turn in a huge and involving reMix of the track, wrapping it in lush, reverby, French Touch with a grinding synth bass. Polish outfit P.A.F.F. also deliver the goods with their reMix. their Hipstercop version rings out like an Indie-Electro summer anthem, complete with infectious chiming melody and big chorus. It;s an excellent single package and one that bodes well for the album.

[MP3] Christa Vi remixed by Skitch

London based singer/songwriter Christa Vi’s Your Heart is getting on in music years now. Originally brought to our attention way back on November 2011 and released n March last year it’s settled in as one of those songs that occasionally pops into your head for no reason other than it’s stored in your brains ‘unnervingly catchy’ bank. The tracks track was given a new lease of life yesterday with a brand new video and a brand new reMix. the video, a stop motion epic that makes our brains hurt when we think about making it, can be seen here, the remix can be heard below.

South London producer Skitch, who used to be one half of Blende, delivers a straight-up Disco jam. Like the first wave of French Touch, this tune is a heavily filtered groover. the high point of the reMix is the innovative use of the vocals, which sees Skitch cutting and pasting the lyrics to create new sentiments and a vocal hook that fits his pool party Disco perfectly.

[Video] Spiller’s ‘Urastar’

This is the new single from Spiller. It’s called Urastar, it features Nina Miranda, and it;s quite a lovely slice of laid back French House and DiscoPop.

The video however, is terrifying. That is all.
