MMMatthias reMixes SebastiAn

This is what happens when producers with unique ideas about capitalisation (of letters, not globaly) meet.

MMMatthias, one of our favourite German producers had reMixed SebastiAn latest single, and the precursor to his now album, ‘Embody’. MMMatthias ups the tempo and Discos things up a little. More choppy and noisy than we’re used to from MMMatthias, the cut-ups and 8-bit sounds give the tune a real edge and counterpoints the smooth retro synths. The whole thing is keps rocking with some dark growling bass synths. Great stuff!

Monarchy mix up ‘Gold In The Fire’ and ‘Eternal Flame’

Here’s a pretty odd track, but it really works.

Monarchy, true to their name, in celebration of the impending royal wedding have recorded this piano mashup between their ‘Gold In The Fire’ and The Bangles’ ‘Eternal Flame’. The two seem to go together perfectly and it reminds you what an immense Pop song.

‘Eternal Flame’ is.

♫ Monarchy – Gold In The Eternal Fire

I’m not bothered about the royal wedding in the slightest, save for the fact that I have to travel into London tomorrow and it’s going to be a nightmare! Other than that it just seems to be a be a massive financial burden on we, the public. We’re not even invited!

Get ready for an Electro Disco juggernaut.

digitalfoxglove come crashing back this week whit a brand new tune, ‘Someone Else’. Not content with solely rocking us as part of Ride the Universe, DTF continues to drop top quality Nu-Disco tunes his good self. ‘Someone Else’ is a massive uplifting dancefloor killer with some huge interweaving basslines and a sweet lead riff. Top that all off with some atmospheric vocoding and you’ve got a package that you can drop in any mix to make the crowd go batshit insane!

Selebrities new video

Brooklyn New Wavers Selebrities are back with a new video for ‘Can’t Make Up My Mind’, a brilliant meeting of Disco and Shoegaze.

Taken from their forthcoming début album ‘Can’t Make Up My Mind’ gives a SynthPop flavour to a deep late 80’s Indie sound. I love how Selebrities are such a melting pot of influences, and they manage to make sometimes quite different sounds, work together perfectly.

Check the track too, it’s a great Walkman tune!

♫ Selebrities – Can’t Make Up My Mind

Selebrities’ album ‘Delusions’ is out 17th May on Cascine.

Rex The Dog’s ‘Here We Go Scando’ mixtape

Rex The Dog – Mixtape #1 Here We Go Scando = Completely made up of Scandinavian, mostly Swedish (or reMixed by someone from Sweeden) ElectroPop. The whole mix has a cool, icy, edge to it but with an underlying warmth. Very nice to chill to.

Maighréad

Maighréad is a London based ElectroPop artist who recently released her début EP, ‘In the Beginning’ alongside Disco Damage.

The Irish-born singer is currently hard at work on the video for ‘In The Beginning’, until then check out some of what she has on offer. The single is a pounding Electro track that displays Maighréad’s vocals to have a lot more soul than I would have expected. With something of an Irish Billie Ray Martin quality to her voice I can imagine Maighréad is a fantastic singer live (I hope to find out in the future). There’s a bit of Annie Lennox in there too, albeit with a Limerick twang that gives the vocals a unique twist on the classic huge pop delivery. All this juxtaposes quite nicely with the Maxi Jazz-esq rhyming on ‘In The Beginning’. ‘Sea’, one of Maighréad’s previous tracks, is actually my favourite. It’s pure Eurythmics (and seeing as how Eurythmics haven’t been Eurythmics for years, there is a need for someone to be making this kind of music). Cold, harsh synths are perfectly tempered by Maighréad’s warm vocals giving the track an light-in-the-darkness- feel to it.

Young Galaxy reMixes Johan Agebjörn & Le Prix

We already dropped Johan Agebjörn collaboration with Le Prix and Lake Heartbeat a couple of weeks ago.

Check out this reMix of the track, ‘Watch The World Go By’, that doesn’t appear on the single. It’s by Young Galaxy and it ditches the banging Nu-Disco and Dreamwave of the original and it’s reMixes in favour of a chilled, Indie, sound that just proves the song itself is so strong it can ride any genre, and tempo. A lazy Sunday track this reMix turns ‘Watch The World Go By’ into a reverb washed Chillwave epic.

‘Watch The World Go By’ is out now on Lo Recordings.

Cosmonaut

Space-age DiscoPop trio Cosmonaut jumped into our consciousness with a track on the forthcoming Kitsuné Maison volume 11. We’ve already featured their track ‘Say What You Want’ with it’s organic, analog synth laden, Cosmic sound, so let’s hear a little more from this Australian three piece.

Frankie Barretso got his hands on ‘Say What You Want’ and introduced these three Cosmonauts to an alien machine society with an arpeggio driven track that eschews the live feel of the original for pure robo Funk. ‘Jupiters’ and ‘Terminator Sky’, two original tracks from the trio, are both the same kind of live ElectroPop jam as ‘Say What You Want’. The Sci-Fi subject matter and electronic nature of the music given a human feel and a rawness that makes it feel, at the same time, more accessible yet more epic.

This truly is the soundtrack to your voyage home!

♫ Cosmonaut – Say What You Want (Barretso reMix)

♫ Cosmonaut – Jupiters

♫ Cosmonaut – Terminator Sky

‘Say What You Want’ appears on the ‘Kitsuné Maison 11 ‘The Indie-Dance Issue’’ followed by the ‘Cosmonaut EP’ release on Young Mine. Cosmonaut also have a double A-side single, ‘One Dancefloor’/’Erroneous Monk’, incoming on Bang-Gang Twelve Inches.
