Russ Chimes’ ‘Tonic’/’Helix’ EP
Russ Chimes’ nearly broke Twitter a couple of weeks ago with a 1m15s teaser of his new EP, my entire timeline went a little mental for a while.
Not without justification though, as with the ‘Tonic’/’Helix’ EP, released this week, Mr. Chimes, once again, shows himself to be head and shoulders above the competition. The EP, as it’s title suggest, is only two tracks (although I suspect a reMix EP is incoming) but two tracks from RC are worth a whole album from some other artists. On ‘Tonic’ we see the man introducing more Ravey elements in to his Disco (as hinted at in his recent reMixes) but never loosing the Funk. The track whips the listener into a dancefloor frenzy before, in the middle-eight, dropping one of the sweetest leads you’ve ever heard then relentlessly kicking you back to the groove. It’s intense stuff, crafted with signature Russ Chimes precision. The flip side, ‘Helix’ is a deep Electro-House track with a Moog Funk bassline and on old school beat that’ll have the dancefloor loosing it’s mind.

Johan Agebjörn & Queen Of Hearts’ video
Johan Agebjörn & Ercola & Queen Of Hearts’ ‘The Last Day Of Summer’, we’ve listened to it quite a lot. Now, we can watch it quite a lot too! It’s only bleedin’ gone and got itself a music video ain’t it!
At some point director Stuart Hall made the correct decision to tell Misters Agebjörn and Ercola to take the day off and just to film the Queen saying goodbye to past loves in some fields. Also, there probably wasn’t room in the crew transport for Misters Agebjörn and Ercola with all the Queen’s various costume changes and you’ve got to prioritise these things properly.
‘The Last Days Of Summer’ is taken from ‘Casablanca Nights’, out now on Paper Bag Records.

Fred Falke reMixes Wolf Gang
‘The King And All Of His Men’ is the latest single, and re-release of first single, from British Indie dude Wolf Gang, it’s been given a stunning retro workout by French Touch master Fred Falke.
From the offset you can tell this mix is going to be something special, kicking off with a nice syncopated bassline and smooth 80’s-esq chords that lead into a full-on 80’s teen movie epic. Wolf Gang vocals lend themselves perfectly to this kind of Dreamwave nostalgia, his voice being just as emotive as the music.
