Viceroy reMixes Yelle

yelle

Here is San Francisco based Nu-Disco producer Viceroy’s entry in Yelle’s ‘Comme Un Enfant’ reMix competition.

The winner will have their track appear on a forthcoming Yelle release, and Viceroy definitely show himself to be a front runner. Taking in a laidback piano groove, he seems to rein in the song, chilling it out. Not even the growling bass riff can stop this tune from being super smooth.

♫ Yelle – Comme Un Enfant (Viceroy reMix)

‘Comme Un Enfant’ is taken from the ‘Safari Disco Club’ album, out now.

Perseus’ new EP

Perseus

In a stunning display of X-Mas cheer French Express head honcho Perseus has dropped his new EP, for free, and it is seriously good.

I’ve been rockin’ these three tracks all morning, every track on the EP is total quality and exists in a place where Nu-Disco, Chicago House and late ‘80’s Pop Dance meet. ‘Cool Runnings’ kicks off the EP with a laid back groove with an ‘80’s electronic Soul vibe and sets the Disco/House precedent. ‘Russian Girlfriends’ dusts off the old ‘Ashley’s Roachclip’ break, a brave move put Perseus pulls it off with stunning effect, I think there’s even a bit of PM Dawn in there too! The whole mix is pure early ‘90’s House gold, and highly addictive. ‘Running Back To You’ rounds off the EP by bringing it back to a smooth beach party Disco vibe, with random ChipTune elements. Not only is this EP free, it’s better than a lot of it’s contemporaries you be spending money on. PopDanceHouseDisco brilliance!

♫ Perseus – Cool Runnings

You can grab the EP in high quality from French Express’ SoundCloud, the WAVs are coming soon to Beatport.

Legan And Met’s ‘Future Odyssey’

Legan And Met

Dutch duo Legan And Met first came to our attention with their recent reMix of Forster The People’s ‘Helena Beat’.

The guys have now released their début EP containing five original tunes (good on them for not just flooding everyone with reMix after reMix, just to get their name around!) for us to sink out teeth into and get to grips with just who Legan And Met are. SynthWave with an Electro beat could sum them up, but that would be doing the twosome a disservice, their tracks are much more intricate and varied than that. they create epic, synthesizer soundscapes that are both emotionally melodic and Sci-Fi insane, with Cosmic Disco grooves for people in shiny jumpsuits. The songs on the ‘Future Odyssey’ EP are constantly evolving and building from start to finish, so the finale of each tune is a rousing electronic set-peice. Serious retro-future stuff.

♫ Legan And Met – Voltage Controlled

♫ Legan And Met – Only Your Love Creates My Momentum

♫ Legan And Met – Future Odyssey Part 01

Check out more from Legan And Met on SoundCloud, where you can pick up the whole EP.

Steve Moore’s ‘Carol Of The Bells’

steve-moore

Apparently this was a track written for a project that fell through a couple of years ago, but it’s so chilling and wintery that synthesizer overlord Steve Moore though it best to release it this X-Mas.

‘Carol Of The Bells’ is a haunting, atmospheric peice that immediately makes you feel cold. It’s an icy soundscape, but shot through with a strain of hopefulness, like being lost in the dark and seeing a light. I’m not sure if it’s X-Massy or not (probably, in a creepy ‘80’s BBC children’s X-Mas drama way), but it’s beautiful nonetheless.

Yelle reMixed by Cut Slack

We’ve been keeping our eyes on Cut Slack for the last couple of months, we definitely think this Portuguese producer is going to be giving us some awesome tunes in 2012.

He’s easing us into it with this new reMix of the awesome Yelle’s ‘Comme Un Enfant’, where he’s got a perfect grasp of the groove of the track and works it to his advantage with heaps of funk bass and big retro chords. We’re keeping our eyes on Cut Slack, now you know you should be too, he’s going to be a Nu-Disco name in the coming year.

♫ Yelle – Comme Un Enfant (Cut Slack reMix)

Binalog Frequency’s new track

Binalog Frequency

Some dark future sounds and frantic B-Boy beats right now from Binalog Frequency.

His new tune, ‘Neon Funk’ is a rapid fire slice of Sci-Fi Electro. Old School beats underpin ever evolving and intertwining arpeggios and lush pads. A meticulously programmed and produced track who’s robotic rhythms and Vangelis atmosphere also makes me think of early Warp Records stuff, Bleep House, but with more IDM style beats. great stuff!
