Mr. Mæn reMixes Publicist

Mr. Mæn, who has wowed us with many of his recent reMixes, has turned his attention to Publicist’s ‘Come To My Senses’ from his recent Discotexas EP ‘Professional Show Business Pt.1′.

Mr. Mæn builds a kind of machine Funk thoroughout the track with relentless industrial sounding ethnic percussion playing nicely against the groove of the bassline and the vocoded vocals. Mæn has created a deep hypnotic peice here for you to sink into.

‘Professional Show Business Pt.1′ is out now on Discotexas.

Goin’ Old School: Skinny Puppy – Warlock

What can be said about Skinny Puppy that hasn’t already. Synthesizer pioneers that changed the face of much of electronic music. 1989’s ‘Warlock ‘is both harsh and beautiful and sadly the only good track on the (Al Jourgensen ruined) ‘Rabies ‘ album.

AXXE & StardonE

The ElectroSleaze of AXXE plus StardonE’s Cosmic Disco. How good a combination is that?

Actually, StardonE brings things a back to earth a little with this reMix which is more rooted in late 80’s SynthPop than his usual spacey Disco Funk, even going so far as to include a little Italo in the mix. the end result being a track that could have rocked Hi-NRG dancefloors a couple of decades ago but will also rock Disco dancefloors today.

There’s more AXXE reMixes on the way, some special stuff coming.

Chris Malinchak’s new EP

Chris Malinchak’s new sounds on the French Express label is his forthcoming EP ‘Make Your Move’, with the awesome ‘Another Day’ as the B-Side.

The title track is the perfect summer nights Nu-Disco track. A solid groove, snatched of vocoder and wicked licks in a melting pot of Funk, for the height of the party. When the sun starts. to come up, though, is when ‘Another Day’ comes into play with it’s distant, dreamy ElectroPop vibe with a Disco sheen

Dirty Vegas reMixed by Visitor

Dirty Vegas rank as legends in my book, one of the saviours of vocal House and by-proxy ElectroPop. At a time when the Tiëstos of this world ruled they were laying down smooth, emotive tracks.

Vulture Music’s highly talented ElectroPop act Visitor will be just one of the stunning line up of reMixers on their forthcoming ‘Little White Doves’ single. Alongside the likes of Ladytron, Penguin Prison, Nightriders and Blonde Rocka, Visitor bring their own brand of, almost atmospheric, ElectroPop to the tune creating quite an emotional experience and some definite hands-in-the-air moments.

♫ Dirty Vegas – Little White Doves (Visitor reMix)

‘Little White Doves’ is taken from the ‘Electric Love’ album, the single is coming soon.

Goin’ Old School: Krush – House Arrest

One of my favourite tracks of all time, from 1987 Krush’s ‘House Arrest’. The bassline, the keys, Ruth Joy’s floaty vocals work together so well. One of a handful of tracks that really broke the UK house scene. Such memories.

Futurecop! & The Naked & Famous

Here is Futurecop!’s long awaited reMix of The Naked & Famous’ ‘Young Blood’.

They’ve been teasing it for a while now and the track doesn’t disappoint. Futurecop! are the true masters at crating massive sounding shiny ElectroPop with shit loads retro cool and their work on this track is no different. Employing their Electro arsenal Futurecop! take what is already an anthem in Indie-electro clubs and make it an Electro dancefloor powerhouse.

Rex The Dog takes Mason way back

I love Rex The Dog’s recent burbling Acid/ElectroPop reMixes, this reMix of Mason’s ‘Little Angel’ is the best so far.

It’s a deep 80’s jam at heart, the 808 and Acid bassline are pure Summer Of Love, but Rex has expertly layered over the top a shimmering and think ElectroPop tune. The result is a Moroder-esque DiscoPop tune of epic proportions complete with wailing guitar. Vocals on the track are provided by Aqualung which are kept largely intact in this mix, adding to the power and drive of ‘Little Angel’/

Florrie’s ‘Experimenting With Rugs’

Florrie’s ‘Experimenting With Rugs’ will be featured on her second EP. She explains in this blog post how she keeps independent, and why (although I’m sure working for Xenomania doesn’t really hurt her situation), which is pretty unusual for an artist, to explain where their money comes from in such detail. To be honest Florrie seems to have it really together and will probably make more from her music than if she was on a major.
