Meridian reMix Monarchy

monarchy

As more and more reMixes of Monarchy and Britt Love new single ‘You Don’t Want To Dance With Me’ it becomes harder to stand out from the pack. Let’s see if this official mix from Meridian does the job.

It’s actually a pretty straight-up dance mix, which is a good thing as there hasn’t been one yet. It drags the song into the big room for some peak of the night euphoric gold. There’s no surprises here, nothing new, but it has a job to do and does it well. Big sounds, filter sweeps, emotional piano, all present and working together like an oiled dancefloor machine.

Monarchy (Feat. Britt Love) – You Don’t Want To Dance With Me (Meridian reMix)

‘You Don’t Want To Dance With Me’ originally comes from the ‘Around The Sun’ album, out now, the single comes out this month.

Jordan F’s ‘Last Night’

jordan f

One of the things I love about producers interacting with listeners on social media is they are always offering incentives for followers or likes, and in that situation everyone wins!

So, one of out favourite Aussie synth wizards Jordan F has offered up this track in celebration of hitting the 550 fans mark on Facebook. Surely the man deserves more than this? Jordan makes those synths sing. As a producer he’s definitely finding the right balance between emotive and atmospheric, and dancefloor as his tunes both conjure up and emotional resonance but are also a stomping good time.

artworks-000012385091-rt2idr-original (1)

We’ve been eagerly awaiting this for a while around these parts! Shiny Disco Club’s first ‘Millennium Disco’ compilation stayed on our playlist for months, it was crammed full of some of the best Nu-Disco around, but now, with volume 2, they really have outdone themselves.

It would be insane for me to go through all 24 tracks with you, suffice to say some of the hottest producers in Nu-Disco and Dreamwave have contributed works and the whole album is like the best summer beach party you’ve ever been to. The utmost respect has to be given to Shiny Disco Club for getting this lot together.

Did I mention it was absolutely free?

I’ll leave you to check out some of the sounds contained with in the compilation featuring the likes of Vanguard, ODahl, Mjolnir, Louis La Roché, Galactik Knights, Quinten 909, Viceroy, OH MY!

Vanguard – LeJeune

ODahl – Beautiful Love

Mjolnir – Yeah It’s You

Louis La Roché – Fake Tan

Galactik Knights – Escape

Quinten 909 – Magic

Viceroy – Unwind

Pick up the whole 23 track compilation in full quality right here.

Moullinex’s ‘Sunflare’ video

I was going to post Moullinex’s new single today anyway, but that was going to have been in a boring old SoundCloud player, ooo look at the waveform…now you can hit play and see all manner of moving pictures to go along with the music!

Luis Calçada and Dinis Costa direct, it’s pretty crazy. I think they were trying to look as little like a SoundCloud player as possible.

The ‘Sunflare’ single is out today.

Quasars And Lovinsky

Quasars and Lovinsky, two Russian producers who have teamed up for this retro Italo extravaganza!

From the opening chords and electro toms this track is doing exactly what it says on the tin. Pure ‘80’s Italo goodness, all power FM bassline and lush, if slightly melancholy,  chords. But that mixture of melancholy and bouncy dance music actually perfectly invokes the atmosphere of the era. Quasars and Lovinsky are two relatively new names, but if you like your SynthWave Italo flavoured I’d keep an eye on them.
