Gigamesh reMixes Ladyhawke
In the first of a Gigamesh double whammy today we finally get to hear his version of Ladyhawke’s new single ‘Sunday Drive’. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the one! This is the killer version of this track! This is the one you’ll be dancing to for the next couple of months!
It’s a Disco juggernaut. Loaded with majestic chords and arpeggios that fly around the mix. There something incredibly dramatic about the almost Acid arpeggio sweeps in this mix, adding a rising and falling tension which, when coupled with the track make for something quite special. Whilst we do love the songs on Ladyhawke’s new album, the whole tone isn’t as fun new wave is is was previously so it;s the reMixes that we are excited about. We’re big fans of Pips voice and songwriting, so when we hear them over tom-popping Disco like this it really makes out day.

Ladyhawke & Treasure Fingers
Ladyhawke being reMixed by Treasure Fingers? Oh, it’s just like the good old days, or at least 2008, when Pip ruled all and TF reMixed everyone!
So this nostalgic team up actually delivers the goods. Leaning very much in a ‘90’s House direction, Treasure Fingers drops beats, breaks and House Piano liberally only keeping the chorus and the tiniest bit of synth from Ladyhawke’s original. Although much more retro House than he used to be you can still tell a Treasure Fingers production, just like you can always tell Pip’s vocals. Ahh, the memories…

Ladyhawke reMixed by Nile Delta
Here’s another reMix of Ladyhawke’s first single from her forthcoming sophomore album ‘Anxiety’, ‘Black, White And Blue’. This time it’s Nile Delta stepping up to the plate to drop a deep electronic Acid Disco groove.
There’s a real old school Chicago feel to Nile Delta’s version. 909 rimshots and burbling Acid lines are the order of the day here, which work surprisingly (and I do mean surprisingly) well with Pips vocals. The whole thing sounds slightly more detached than before, but in a dark, strobe fuelled, club kinda’ way. Both alienating and involving. It’s my favourite mix of this track so far.

Ladyhawke reMixed by Punks Jump Up
We’re still in two minds about what we’ve heard of Ladyhawke’s forthcoming new album, some of what we’ve heard is amazing, some of it too rocky for our tastes. I guess we’re just wishing for the good old days of 2008 New Wave Ladyhawke. Take the new single, ‘Black, White & Blue’ it sounds like catchy Ladyhawke, but all those standard rock guitars kinda’ grate on our ears. Enter Punks Jump Up to save the day.
Their reMix of ‘Black, White & Blue’ is exactly what I wanted to hear for the single. I love Pip’s voice so much, so that combined with Punks Jump Up’s bouncy FM bassline is pure gold. Full of hits, stabs and other retro dance tropes this track is gonna’ be so much fun to drop on a dancefloor.

New Ladyhawke reMix
Ah Pip, when are we getting some new material? Well, in the absence of a new Ladyhawke record it’s always nice when new reMixes come your way.
Here we have another reMix of ‘Back Of The Van’. This time Sydney producer Beaumont cooks up a delicious 80’s treat with some fantastic gated synths and piano bridge.

It looks like ‘Back Of The Van’ might be getting a re-release, no doubt this isn’t the last reMix we will hear.
The week in Bangers: 26:04:09
The week in Bangers: While electronic rumors isn’t strictly an Electro-House blog, we do cover a lot of Electro-House that crosses over in to our realm. So many good club tunes and reMixes surface each week we can’t (and wouldn’t) cover them all, so this is a round up of some of the best from the week that we didn’t have time to dedicate individual posts to…
Kicking off this week’s Bangers A1 Bassline goes dubstep crazy with Little Boots’ new single and we have new tracks from Mustard Pimp and Etienne De Crécy. Das Pop get a slamming reword from Stockholm Syndrome and team Valerie give us some cool retro Electro from Le Matos. The fantastically named Joey2Tits takes on Yeah Yeah Yeahs and we wrap up with two reMixes from DJ Loveboat, of Amanda Blank and the wonderful Ladyhawke.
