Mirror People

House/Electronica producer Rui Maia is back and dropping beats under the guise of Mirror People. Counting New Order, Add N To (X), Giorgio Moroder and Suicide amongst his influences (and you can bet Kraftwerk too!), you can see them shine through in this almost minimal slice of Electro. ‘Diamonds’ is a blipy little tune whose sheer electronicness can’t help but put a smile on my face.

Check out a couple of reMixes he’s done for Detachments (really Kraftwerky!) and blogtastic Nu-Disco act Neon Indian.

Ali Love Harderer

We’ve already hit you with Ali Love’s forthcoming single ‘Love Harder’ and in our excitement for the single dropping we’ve can’t help but share with you two reMixes from the release.

Tronik Youth turn in quite a minimal, quite old school House, mix that has some SynthPop overtones that all works pretty well together while Jaymo & Andy George’s wonky rave reMix beefs up the original.

Cavaliers Of Fun

UK based Ricco Vitali A.K.A. Cavaliers Of Fun has been getting quite a bit of hype on the more discerning blogs this week, and well deserved too as he takes on Dreamwave from a slightly left-field position.

Mixing up elements of Dreamwave, Space-Synth and Chiptune, ‘Midnight Resistance’ is a kinda’ ‘what if’ Jean-Michel Jarre was a C64 obsessive who started hanging out with College and the Valerie crew. Are you comfortable with that? Well you won’t be expecting ‘Secret Galaxies’ then, which suddenly swings Cavaliers Of Fun over to the Van She side of Indie-Electro.

Varied, crazy cool, and…well…fun!

Barretso

The dudes over at Trashbags ‘ave only gone and started their own record label, ‘aven’t they?!?!

Tuff Em Up’s first release will be by Chilean synth noodler Barretso and it should be pretty amazing judging by this taster here. ‘Midnight Walk’ will be featured on the ‘Bright City Lights’ EP and is almost perfectly crafted Dreamwave (If you want to call it that), washes of retro synths and arpeggiated basslines and just a hint of soaring lead all wrapped up in a smooth mix.

Pure class.

While you’re waiting for the EP, go give him some MySpace love:

Chromeo; Bubblegum Sci-Fi reMix

I love Chromeo’s ‘Night By Night’. I’ve also loved most of the reMixes of it.

I also loved Bubblegum Sci-Fi’s reMix of Passion Pit’s ‘The Reeling’.

So, Bubblegum Sci-Fi remixing ‘Night By Night’ is pretty much a no-brainer!

Huge buzzsaw synths pump through this sweet robodisco floorfiller. I’m really diggin’ what he’s done to the chorus, the stuttering lead line seems to give the vocals a different rhythm.

‘Night By Night’ is out now!

Get Stellar

What is it with Australians and Indie-Disco? The whole country seems like a music factory!

Next up is Get Stellar, hailing from Adelaide this duo have just dropped their first EP, ‘This Moment’, which features reMixes from the likes of G.L.O.V.E.S., Def Starr and Nick Supply.

The track itself is a infectious bassline fuelled Nu-Disco stormer that get’s taken to the next Disco level by reMixer extraordinaire G.L.O.V.E.S. who drops string and stabs all over the place. Def Starr’s reMix is slightly more chilled with a summery clubby vibe.

I never really got into Editors but this reMix will have me purchasing the single. With it’s vocodered vocals it builds and builds into a climax that is sure to drive the dancefloor mental.

The Revenge

I was turned onto The Revenge over at Big Stereo, I don’t usually go for Prog House all that much but these two tracks just really appealed to me for two very different reasons.

The first track, ‘Forever In Their Debt’, had me hooked instantly just with it’s choice of bass sound. That rounded, slightly acidy, square wave bass reminds me so much of the good ol’ days of Beep House when early Warp Records releases were tearing up the floor. In fact, the whole tune has got that vibe. The second slice is a cover of S.O.S. Band’s ‘Just Be Good To Me’ featuring Danielle Moore from Crazy P on vocal duties, I can’t help it, I’ve loved the song ever since Beats International’s ‘Dub Be Good To Me’. Ah…Lindy Layton…
