Monsieur Adi reMixes Ellie Goulding

EllieGoulding05

As the flood of reMix of Ellie Goulding’s excellent ‘Starry Eyed’ continues, one we have been particularly looking forward to is this one from Monsieur Adi.

Rome’s Adi has produced some fine reMixes of late and this complete recreation of Ellie’s track is the best I’ve heard from him. He rebuilds the track from the ground up into a totally different song, a huge orchestral, emotive, electro journey!

Monarchy

Monarchy 

Mystery men Monarchy have been busy with some high profile reMixes of late and we are glad to report that their track ‘Gold In The Fire’, which has been hyped for a while now, is finally getting an official release thanks to Neon Gold.

We Have Band, Flak Attack and Hidden Cat chip in with the reMix work that spans WHB’s almost tribal chilled Electro, Flak Attack’s pure dance jam and Hidden Cat’s psychedelic space Disco trip.

Shy Child; The Anoraak reMix!

ShyChild04

We’ve waited with baited breath for the most exiting (to us at least) reMix from the forthcoming Shy Child single ‘Disconnected’. Now the wait is over.

Anoraak’s take on the tune is every bit as good as we had hoped. The meeting of Shy Child and Anoraak is just a clash of two of our favourite artists. The reMix is mostly a smooth Dreamwave epic give a slight edge by arpeggiated digital synth bass that slowly builds to a rockin’ crescendo.

Polygon Palace

PolygonPalace

Melbourne based Polygon Palace, Australia’s latest weapon in their bit to talk over the ElectroPop world, have dropped this awesome track about a time machine being built in Tokyo city. Sounding a little like some of the UK LaptopPop acts but with a bigger sound, ‘Tokyo Getaway’ is SynthPop with a garage sound.

The track is completely turned around into a slap bass heavy banger by Cryptonites while fellow Aussies Cassian rebuild the original track times 100 adding a sprinkling of Disco flavour.

Priors reMixed

Priors

The track ‘What You Need’ (or at least the demo version of it) by Raw Man’s project, Priors, has been knocking ‘round the internet for a few months now. Finally it is getting a full reMix package release courtesy of Eye Industries and the smooth Nu-Disco ElectroPop jam some pretty sweet reworkings.

Grum just goes from strength to strength. His reMix here is more chilled than his usual production but it shows a laidback side to his work and is a solid slick of 80’s-esq electronic Funk. Hey Champ!’s take on the tune is more of a cut-up roller-Disco monster. Finally Allen Walker gives us the most straight-up dancefloor version

Midnight Club

MidnightClub

French trio Midnight Club have over 20 years of production experience between them that stretches back to the 80’s, and that shines through in their music.

Moroder-esq synth work and modern House beats collide on their electronic odyssey ‘The Machine’, the title track of their début EP. A Synthesizer journey that owes as much to Jarre as it does to Danger and Kavinsky. Worship handle the reMix work, ramping up the lead lines and hitting the Disco drums.
