Chromeo reMixed by Sonic Soul

To say the world was inundated with reMixes of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’ right now would be an understatement, so standing out it quite a job!

Sonic Soul are up for that challenge. Their reMix of ‘Hot Mess’ has more Funk than a dump truck full of Funk driving up to Bootsy Collins house and dumped in his driveway. The duo of Andrew Napoleon and Leon Watson from the North East UK put the whole package into their reMix, a nice build, some awesome layered 80’s synth Funk with some real smooth riffs and our beloved electro toms, all of this working seamlessly with Dave 1’s vocals. They’ve added a sweet call-and-response vocoded finale too.

♫ Chromeo – Hot Mess (Sonic Soul reMix)

Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’ is out now.

Mightyfools’ ‘World Tour’

Kicking electronic rumors into party mode are Mightyfools, who’s new single ‘World Tour’ is out now.

The Dutch duo have really knocked the banger out of the park this time. Their mashup of ChipTune and full throttle Electro-House is seriously body rockin’ stuff, this tracks is going to be killing dancefloors this summer. The drop and build is worthy of a post on it’s own!

Go mental peeps!

♫ Mightyfools – World Tour (Video Edit)

The single is out now backed with a reMix from TJR and the Dub.

Is Tropical ’s new single

We have another track for you here from the forthcoming Kitsuné Maison 11 ‘The Indie-Dance Issue’.

Is Tropical feature on the record with ‘The Greeks’. It Tropical have been a bit hit-and-miss for me previously, but this track is a really cool Indie-Electro romp from the London mystery trio. Their are currently gearing up for the release of their début album in June, produced by the band themselves alongside Jimmy Robertson and part-mixed by Lifelike, and if this track is anything to go by it could contain some pretty raucous anthems for 2011.

♫ Is Tropical – The Greeks

Is Tropical’s début album ‘Native To’ is released on 13th June, the Maison 11 is out 16th May.

Burns reMixes HURTS’ ‘Better Than Love’

There hasn’t really been a proper, er, banger(?), mix of HURTS’ ‘Better Than Love’, which is odd ‘cos the track is crying out for one.

Enter Burns who’s latest offering is a deep Electro floorfiller version of the track, weaving elements of the original into an Acid fuelled Electro-House monster with some amazing builds. Burns know exactly when to hammer you with relentless arpeggios and when to slip you back into the song. Nice job!

♫ HURTS – Better Than Love (Burns’ European Sex Version)

Burns states that his reMix will be out soon alongside his ‘European Sex Dub’ version. If the SoundCloud track artwork is anything to go by I’d say it was going to be on some future single release of ‘Illuminated’.

Polarsets & Channel Swimmer

Warning…play this track on a summery day and you may never awake from your come of smooth.

Polarsets are Kitsuné Music’s latest offering, their single ‘Sunshine Eyes’ appears on the forthcoming Maison 11 compilation alongside a single release in it’s own right with reMixes from Jensen Sportag, Kid Adrift and Skies. This reMix is an extra treat though (although why it’s not on the release is beyond me, it’s probably the best mix of the track around). It’s by Welsh DJ/Producer Mathew Mayes A.K.A. Channel Swimmer who bring in the downtempo loops and a killer rolling bassline with a silky covering of Disco strings.
This is the kind of track that really does make you feel like everything’s gonna’ be alright.

‘Sunshine Eyes’ is out now.

Billie Ray Martin’s new EP

As you probably know by now Miss Billie Ray Martin has dropped another powerful House EP on the world in the form of the ‘Sold Life’/’Fantasy Girl’ double A-side.

The EP has a classic early 90’s House sound with a contemporary twist. Produced by Hard Ton the EP sees Billie going back to her classic house roots with a bit of Chicago and a bit of Acid in the mix. The B-side is a cover of Phuture Phantasy Club’s ‘Fantasy Girl’ and gets a low-down piano led remix from Snuff Crew, who’s hard, hypnotic groove brilliantly plays against Billie’s impassioned vocals.

♫ Billie Ray Martin – Fantasy Girl (Snuff Crew reMix)

And while we’re here, check the absolutely awesome reMix of Billie’s current single, ‘Sweet Suburban Disco’, (a track we already love!) by synth legend Vince Clarke, it’s really, REALLY, good! Classic SynthPop sounds with an added deep vibe and loads of electro toms!

Fabian’s ‘Puzzle’ (+ some LexiconDon)

Right about now we’re going to kick off your weekend with this new bomb from our boy Fabian.

‘Puzzle’ is actually pretty old, being Fabian’s first track under that name, but has recently come to light as the soundtrack to this GoPro video of Jamie Pierre ski cliff jumping.

Old or new, we’re glad it’s getting an airing, it’s a full-on Electro juggernaut. If this doesn’t get you going for a weekends debauchery, then I don’t know what will!
