The Blisters Boyz reMix Madonna

madonna

This reMix of Madonna’s ‘Music’ from France’s The Blisters Boyz is too good.

It’s fun, it’s funky, it plays off the original well and uses the vocals in a pretty innovative way and most importantly, this is gonna’ kill dancefloors. The Blisters Boyz have taken an instantly recognisable hit and turned it into an uplifting Nu-Disco juggernaut. The reMix is also sprinkled with samples from Madonna’s next single ‘Give Me All Your Love’ too.

Little Boots is back!

little-boots

Just typical. You wait around for mew music from Little Boots for over a year then, as soon as you’re away for the weekend she drops a new single!

So, yeah, if you have any kind of interest in electronic music and an internet connection then this isn;t going to be news of any kind, but this weekend Little Boots released ‘Shake’. First heard a couple of weeks ago in the ‘Shake Until Your heart Breaks’ mixtape this new single will effortlessly alleviate any fears of out tiny ElectroPop champion abandoning us for pastures Folk. ‘Shake’ is a deep House basslined track which works very well with Victoria’s slightly sultry voice to create a late night clubby groove. A nice ‘90’s Pop House sound and a bit of dancefloor hypnotism are present but wrapped up in a Pop package. All in all an amazing comeback.

♫ Little Boots – Shake

‘Shake’ is available right now.

Kid Kasio’s new video

We really look forward to a new Kid Kasio video almost as much as a new Kid Kasio track! The man has an eye for authentic ’80’s visuals as much as an ear for authentic ‘80’s sounds.

His new clip is for ‘Living My Life’ (which was actually the first Kid Kasio track we heard, the track that made us fall in love with his music), if the exotic location looks familiar, that’s because it was filmed on location in Antigua on very the same beach Duran Duran cavorted on for their ‘Rio’ video.

Stay tuned for news regarding Kid Kasio’s début album, exciting stuff!

Freak You reMixes Young Empires

youngempires

Stand by, there’ll be a lot of reMixes of Young Empires’ new single ‘Enter Through The Sun’ incoming, I know of at least two more that will see the light in the coming weeks.

I’m not especially keen on the original, but all the reMixes I’ve heard so far are top quality. First up we have Freak You, who gives the Indie track as raw ElectroPop feel. There’s a slight chaos going on in Freak You’s reMix that gives the track an underlying nervous energy that drives it along. With some nice builds and an emotionally involving sound this version is a good start to the reMix flood.

Mirror People’s new single

mirror people

There’s a truck load of Moog Funk hearing right for your face and your feet on Mirror People’s new single for Discotexas.

Featuring the powerful vocals of Rowetta, ‘Feel The Need’ sees the Portuguese producer channelling early ‘80’s TV Disco. The bassline if funky, but fun, and Rowetta’s big Diva vocals are Disco enough, but slightly playful too. There’s an awesome reMix package including work from Moullinex and Severino, but the stand-outs must be Munk’s huge Disco mix and Social Disco Club’s relentless Moog Funk/Early ‘90’s Nrg mash up.

Kris Menace & Adam Shaw

Kris Menace

Following on from his recent team-up with Rex The Dog, Kris Menace has now enlisted co-conspirator Mr. Adam Shaw to produce the future floorfiller ‘Starchild’.

‘Starchild’ is a track with two sides to it. On the one hand it’s a percussion driven hard Electro tune, loaded with chainsaw synth riffs and deep bass, on the other it is a cinematic, BladeRunner-esque, soundtrack peice. As these two halves play off each other, and throughout the song give each other room to do their thing, the resultant track is both epic and dirty.

♫ Kris Menace & Adam Shaw – Starchild

‘Starchild’ is released 5th December.

Holy Ghost!’s Ministry cover

Holy Ghost!

Long time reader will be fully aware of my feelings about Ministry (i.e. they used to be awesome, then went Industrial and were pretty good, then went Metal and were utter shit and laughably tried to disavow their SynthPop past), now one of my favourite acts of recent years, Holy Ghost!, has covered Ministry…good Ministry!

‘I Wanted To Tell Her’ was originally on Ministry’s 1983 awesome album ‘With Sympathy’ and Holy Ghost! have brought it kicking and screaming into the 21st century covered in their New York DiscoPop sound. With a little help from The Juan MacLean and Nancy Whang the duo give early Ministry some raw Funk. It will amuse ne no end if such a relevant band covering this era Ministry sees a resurgence of popular interest in the album Ministry disowned.

New track from Adeyhawke

trace2

Adeyhawke! It’s been a while!

‘Catch 32’ is the brand new track from Adeyhawke, and it was worth the wait. It’s a track to instantly remind you of everything great about ‘80’s inspired synth music. Working on two levels, this track not only shows a deep understanding of retro synth music and captures the ‘80’s dancefloor with a cinematic feel but also shows amazing musicianship. The lead lines the soar over the bouncy, nostalgia laced dance track are pure joy to listen to.
