She’s The Queen reMixed by Lightwaves
Fresh from walking home with the big one at the electronic rumors awards ElectroPop duo She’s The Queen have dropped a brand new reMix of ‘The Way’ by Lightwaves (Jan from Yes Giantess!).
Jan has taken the soulful Pop track and turned it into an Ibiza monster that would make Ministry Of Sound proud. Straight to the big room, the reMix balances Nu-Disco with a Balearic euphoria and some nice Electro inserts. Despite the vocal manipulation Lightwaves has managed to keep the feel of the track intact, but give it a new lease of superclub life. With the right push this tune could be storming the clubs this summer,

She’s The Queen’s ‘Talk To Me’
She’s The Queen have finally released their new track, ‘Talk To Me’. Was it worth the wait? Why yes, yes it was…
This track should come with a disclaimer, or at the very least a health warning. One listen is all it takes, and you’ll be humming the chorus all day, and the next. ‘Talk To Me’, with it’s epic chorus, Disco funk and perfect Pop structure, just reinforces my bewilderment that no major label has snapped up this duo yet. It’s seriously staggering that She’s The Queen aren’t releasing singles that storm the charts. they don;t need to find themselves a big, or hip, producer to work with because Drew is already at the top of his game and can easily stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of them. And he doesn’t need to be paired up with the latest singing talent, because he already has Emily, one of the best Pop singers you will ever hear. None of their flawless production is label backed, so imagine what they could do with a major behind them. All I’ll say is whoever doesn’t sign them will be kicking themselves in the long run.

She’s The Queen’s way
Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s not Thursday. But whatcha’ gonna’ do if She’s The Queen drop a weekend track at the weekend?
I don’t know what the weather is like where you are, dear reader (did I just say that?), but here after a couple of weeks of awesome the heavens have opened and it’s chucking down. Hopefully in your neck of the woods the sun is shining and you can crank up the stereo and play ‘The Way’ all afternoon. While many StQ tracks demonstrate Drew’s frankly mystical production skills, here, maybe more than any other track, Emily’s vocal ability is really showcased. With a classic, soulful Pop voice, Emily effortlessly breezes through the highs and lows of the song with a delivery both powerful and nuanced. Smooth and summery, this new tune dials down the tempo for a laid back vibe in an ‘arm out the window’ stylee. Clean, crisp, with stunning arrangement and production, ‘The Way’ could easily (and I mean easily) be in the top 10 in the UK.

Druma Kina reMixes Cosmonaut Grechko
Cosmonaut Grechko + She’s The Queen + Druma Kina! What can go wrong?
Absolutely nothing! Grechko’s collaboration with She’s The Queen’s Emily, ‘All I Hear’ was one of the highlights of his recent (and awesome) ‘Alaska 2100’ EP, throw Brazilian Nu-Disco king Druma Kina into the mix and you’ve got a floor rocking cut-up Nu-Disco edit of the track that’s relentless in it’s funkiness. This is a peak time track that’ll send the crowd crazy.
Totally rad!

Cosmonaut Grechko’s new EP
Cosmonaut Grechko’s new EP, ‘Alaska 2100’ is out this week and is a pretty stunning electronic masterpiece.
Grechko hits the ground running with track one, ‘Singin’’, with Joywave, it’s the prefect meeting of Dreamwave and Indie-Electro, like a spaced-out-Disco Passion Pit. It’s catchy but still maintains a summery mellow groove. ‘All I Hear’ is up next with some help from She’s The Queen (I’m writing about She’s The Queen on a day other than Thursday, feels weird) that tasks Emily’s vocals out of the normal DancePop environment and slides them into some laid back, almost Chillwave, reverb washed Disco. As with ‘Singin’’, ‘All I hear’ is incredibly listenable, Grechko’s organ riffs intertwining with the big retro synths to create an intricate, yet effortlessly cool, jam. ‘Coloreye’ and the title track are both more tradition Disco fare, both mellow and upbeat, that show Grechko still has the skills to flat out rock the dancefloor and they lead into a selection of reMixes including these two by Electronic Rumors faves Show Your Shoe and Blue Satellite. Show Your Shoe takes on ‘All I Hear’ and proves why he’s the man to watch when it comes to smooth Electro-Funk cuts with some crazy Moog action while Blue Satellite turns ‘Singin’ into a massive upbeat DiscoPop track.
The ‘Alaska 2100’ EP shows a real maturing of Cosmonaut Grechko, musically. An evolution of his music that will surely place him at the forefront of Indie-Electro and Nu-Disco.

She’s The Queen & Jules Schimmer
It’s Thursday! You know what that means!
I swear I’m not doing this deliberately, people keep sending me sweet She’s The Queen reMixes on a Wednesday!
Today’s action comes courtesy of UK producer and DJ Jules Schimmer who lays down a deep arpeggiated retro bassline and some shimmering synths for She’s The Queen’s ‘As We Run’. Taking the original to an early 80’s place with his drum patterns, rapid fire claps and electro toms give it a authentic Electro flavour and creates a nice juxtaposition between Emily’s soulful vocals and Jules’ almost B-Boy beats.

P Martell reMixes She’s The Queen
No She’s The Queen Thursday this week!
It was, however, Emily Queen’s Birthday yesterday (and we all hope she had a great day) which was coincidentally the same day that fellow Night Mover P Martell casually slid his reMix of ‘Waiting Game’ into our inbox. His mix, featuring UpTill, gives the track a chilled Ibiza vibe. A sunrise tune, with elements of Euphoric Trance and Balearic beats, that is pure hands-in-the-air-it’s-1999 stuff. P Martell seems to have a knack for bringing in the huge Trance synths whilst retaining the emotional flow of the track (those big cheesy synths can sometimes kill the mood, y’know). The production could be cleaned up a little bit, and some of the samples seem a little roughly chopped, but aside from that P Martell is a producer with definite promise.

She’s the Queen’s ‘EP’ is available now on iTunes or, if you fancy the indie route, on CD Baby.
It’s She’s The Queen Thursday!
Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
There is legitimate news from the She’s The Queen camp though. Emily and Drew have released their début EP to the public. it’s four tracks of the slickly produce ElectroPop that has so enamoured us this month. They’ve just dropped the third track ‘Plead To The DJ’ on SoundCloud and while it may not be as catchy as ‘Waiting Game’, the EP’s lead track, it is probably the best example to date of how technically impressive the duo are, both in terms of programming and vocal ability. The track shows Drew to be just as talented outside of the straight-up DancePop arena as he brings in some Hip-Hop beats and intricate melodies and shows off a new, deep, level of passion and soul in Emily’s voice.

The Sanfernando Sound reMixes She’s The Queen
It’s like She’s The Queen month here at electronic rumors apparently. This is our third post in three weeks! Always on a Thursday too, which is an odd coincidence. Maybe Thursday’s should be She’s The Queen day?
That’s not to say they don’t deserve it though! Today’s track comes courtesy of The Sanfernando Sound who stopped by the electronic rumors Inbox to drop off his awesome reMix of ‘Sleepwalker’s Curse’. With big nods to both late 90’s ElectroPop and 80’s SynthPop, TSS create a dancefloor killer with a Trance like rhythm section and ethereal retro synth leads, embellished with a healthy dose of Simmons tom rolls, which you can never have too many of. The reMix perfectly show’s off Emily’s voice and the ability to hold this kind of massive uplifting tune.

She’s The Queen’s ‘Waiting Game’ EP is out 12th April, keep checking their Facebook page for details:
