Final DJs

Stuttgart’s Final DJs are slowly but surely gaining some recognition for their French Touch productions and reMixes.

The duo of Sebastian S. and Thomas D. obviously have a strong love of 80’s lead synths, their productions are awash with sweeping sounds riding atop the cool beats. Add in some big filter drops and you’ve got a package of top quality Nu-Disco. ‘Journey In Separate Ways’ is an epic retro-future jam with a Italo backing while new track K.I.D. has more of a space Funk vibe to rock the Nu-Disco dancefloors.

The duo have also recently reMixed Adrian Lux’s ‘Teenage Crime’ into a massive Filter-House/ElectroPop crossover monster!

Moonlight Matters’ reMix of Pacific!’s ‘Unspoken’

Pacific! new single, ‘Unspoken’ is an awesome song in it’s own right, a beautiful electronic narrative that features a haunting vocal performance from El Perro Del Mar.

But, sweet Disco messiah, Moonlight Matters long awaited reMix is a slap bassin’, synth funkin’’, riff soarin’ juggernaut. Moonlight Matters is Belgian Sebastiaan Vandevoorde, one part of Villa, and on this reMix he drops the spooky in favour of shit-loads of late 70’s Disco glam. Pounding into your should, it’s the slap bass that dominates this tune, the heartbeat that allows Moonlight Matters to create something truly epic. If this tune came on during the finale of some inspirational 70’s movie I would not be surprised in the least!

♫ Pacific! (Feat. El Perro Del Mar) – Unspoken (Moonlight Matters reMix)

“Unspoken” is out now on Alan Braxe’s Vulture Music. reMix back up from Santiago & Bushido, Moonlight Matters, Alex Gopher & Pierrick Devin and Anoraak

P Martell reMixes She’s The Queen

No She’s The Queen Thursday this week!

It was, however, Emily Queen’s Birthday yesterday (and we all hope she had a great day) which was coincidentally the same day that fellow Night Mover P Martell casually slid his reMix of ‘Waiting Game’ into our inbox. His mix, featuring UpTill, gives the track a chilled Ibiza vibe. A sunrise tune, with elements of Euphoric Trance and Balearic beats, that is pure hands-in-the-air-it’s-1999 stuff. P Martell seems to have a knack for bringing in the huge Trance synths whilst retaining the emotional flow of the track (those big cheesy synths can sometimes kill the mood, y’know). The production could be cleaned up a little bit, and some of the samples seem a little roughly chopped, but aside from that P Martell is a producer with definite promise.

♫ She’s The Queen – Waiting Game (P Martell and UpTill reMix)

She’s the Queen’s ‘EP’ is available now on iTunes or, if you fancy the indie route, on CD Baby.

Beaumont’s ‘Wings Like The Sun’

Mr. Beaumont dropped a new tune a couple of days ago, a laid back summery groove for this blistering Easter holiday weekend.

This track is exactly what I needed to drop into the electronic rumors inbox in time for the weekend, a synthesizer slow-jam, a Dreamwave love song, this track revels in, and is a celebration of, synths sounds. Beaumont listed the genre, on SoundCloud, as ‘Love song’, I would call it a ‘love song to the synthesizer’! Bits of Vangellis and bits of Moroder spring to mind when listening to ‘Wings Like The Sun’, it’s a dreamy Disco vibe that really is making me question what I am doing indoors writing this?!?!

See ya!

♫ Beaumont – Wings Like The Sun

Also, check out this reMix Beaumont has done that I really can’t talk about or the gods of journalism will strike me down, but it’s awesomely good with a cool Van She Tech vibe that is just badass.

♫ Goteki – Shoot Me Dead (Beaumont reMix)

Beaumont is a reMix machine, loads more on the way and a début EP very close to completion!

TEED’s new single, ‘Trouble’

As premiered on Friday on Annie Mac’s show this is the forthcoming new single from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

Now signed to major Polydor, TEED is planning to release his début full length album at the end of the summer with trouble as the introduction to his new work. Completely immersing himself in the role of vocalist, ‘Trouble’ sees TEED singing throughout the track lending in introspective and heartfelt quality. The tune is suitably bassy and loaded with 8-bit melodies to compliment the deep techy undercurrent. TEED’s usual eclectic sound base applies.

‘Trouble’ is due for release on 2nd May with the album following at the end of the summer.

Site News: Oooo it looks all different!

Yeah, I got bored last night and look! All change. I’m not in any way a graphic designer but I’m pretty busy the next two weeks so you’re stuck with this until at least them!

Anyway, it’s a long weekend here in the UK so I’m not sure how much posting there will be over the next four days, which is a pity ‘cos something tasty just landed in our inbox, but it will have to wait as we’re shutting up shop in twenty minutes to enjoy the sunshine. Might be able to squeeze it in tomorrow.

Have a good weekend y’all!

Edwin Van Cleef’s cover of ‘Lisztomania’

Ever since it was premiered on this week’s episode of Fear Of Tigers’ ‘The Guestlist’ (which also featured yours truly!) discerning music lovers everywhere have been buzzing about Edwin Van Cleef’s cover of Phoenix’s much loved ‘Lisztomania’. Now it’s here!

Featuring the vocal skills of Jane Hanley from Kids At Midnight, Edwin’s cover is more laid back that we are used to from the man. Favouring a solid groove over frantic Nu-Disco Van Cleef proves his ability to handle, with equal ease, smooth DiscoPop. Jane’s vocals work amazingly well with the track, lending a smokey, sultry quality to the track.

Tomorrow’s supposed to be just as hot as today, I intend to throw this track on and turn it up.

♫ Edwin Van Cleef (Feat. Jane Hanley) – Lisztomania

I’ll make no excuses of thinking this is 100% better than the original!

More new Joypopp!

Another fresh track from Joypopp’s forthcoming EP!

Joypopp are Binary’s latest signing, a French duo who create wonderfully atmospheric, yet danceable, ElectroPop music. ‘Desire’ proves that the EP’s lead track, ‘Volupté’ which came to light at the beginning of the month, wasn’t a fluke. A marvellous futuristic love story wrapped up in soaring analog synths and emotional vocals. It’s easy to see why Binary snapped up these two, there is something special about the Joypop tracks that have surfaced so far, a real depth of feeling and some real musicianship. Great sounds too.
