Gigamesh reMixes Citizens!

Citizens!

Kitsuné Music’s latest gang of smart-shirted Indie-kids-with-synths Citizens! have had their catchy new single ‘True Romance’ reMixed by the always excellent Gigamesh.

The first thing you notice about Gigamesh’s reMix is this classic electronic Pop Funk bassline which really provides a backbone for the track. Gigamesh’s knack for Nu-Disco and Dreamwave is slightly subverted by the retro Pop of Citizens! but the end result is a really cool, and pretty authentic, peice of ‘80’s sounding Pop.

Citizens! –  True Romance (Gigamesh reMix)

Citizens! début single is released 19th December, until the check them out on SoundCloud.

Stop what you are doing, there is new Jacques Lu Cont music!

MXM_SC_01_STUART_01

Jacques Lu Cont/Les Rythmes Digitales/Paper Faces/Thin White Duke…that guy Stuart Price, is making music again!

Slowly released over a variety of media the new mystery track, ‘Reload’, is a hugely welcome return of the man who made one of the greatest albums of all time, Les Rhythmes Digitales’ ‘Darkdancer’ and went on to produce the likes of Kylie and Madonna. The track has got that LRD groove, but toughened up and dragged kicking and screaming into 2011 with hints of Daft Punk and a Spectrum 48k loading. We’re definitely excited to see what happens here.

Cinnamon Chasers reMixed

Cinnamon Chasers

We’re really not used to Cinnamon Chasers sounding as raw as they do on this reMix of ‘Cuts Like Fire’ by Vasili Gavre.

The original, taken from CC’s second full length SynthWave/ElectroPop masterpiece ‘Science’ , was already one of the more live sounding tracks on the album but retained that Cinnamon Casers smoothness, Gavre takes that liveness and runs with it crafting an energetic, rough-as-you-like- slice of ElectroPop full of Rock drums and chainsaw synths. Kinda’ reminds me a bit of the tracks Guns ‘N’ Bombs were doing a few years ago.

Cinnamon Chaser’s second album, ‘Science, is out now along with accompanying reMix albums.

LIGHTS reMixed by Snapd

lights

London based producer of ElectroPop reMixes Snapd has turned his hand to the amazing LIGHTS’ latest single ‘Toes’.

‘Toes’ was always ripe for reMixing, it’s got a spine tingling rousing chorus and a chord progression that is soaring with a hint of melancholy, perfect for stretching out into a epic that people loosing themselves in on the dancefloor. That’s exactly what Snapd has done, at seven minutes his Extended Version keeps just enough melody evolving to retain emotional investment until he drops the song proper for the second half. Great stuff!

LIGHTS – Toes (Snapd 12” Extended Version)

LIGHTS second album ‘Siberia’, from which ‘Toes’ is taken, is out now.

Penguin Prison’s ‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ video

Here’s the video for Penguin Prison awesome current single ‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’.

As you can tell it was filmed amongst Occupy Wall Street, not too sure whether this falls under show of solidarity or cheap cash-in, make me a little uncomfortable. Still, you can’t knock the song, the song is amazing.

‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ is out now.
