Lebatman latest track is a Sci-Fi, Electro Disco slice of brilliance that is over far to quickly.
Deep, moody and atmospheric as a Sci-Fi animé cityscape yet with an added layer if funk aimed squarely at the dancefloor Lebatman brings in just over two minutes of edgy cyber-Disco brilliance.

PNAU and Ladyhawke’s ‘Embrace’ was a true anthem for 2008, there were hands in the air at every Electro club you visited, and just as it might have started to sound dated along comes German superproducer digitalfoxglove to bring it kicking and screaming in to 2011.
DFG just seems to have this amazing way with percussion and lead lines that seems to make his tracks soar. Listening to his Nu-Disco magic coupled with Pip’s vocals makes me think how much I’d love to hear him working with vocals more. digitalfoxglove has taken a euphoric ElectroPop anthem and turned it into a sexy dancefloor groover.

While we’re waiting for permission to play you all Fear Of Tigers stunning reMix of Ronika’s ‘Only Only’ this reMix of the flip side ‘In The City’ by the awesome Shook kinda’ crept up on us.
Shook’s smooth Disco and Funk chills out Ronika’s call-to-arms somewhat and turns it into an Electric Piano fuelled lazy Disco track, the prefect compliment to the original. The Dutch producer sure has a way with the keys.

‘Only Only’/‘In The City’ is released 3rd October via Record Shop. You can pick up a free Ronika mixtape here.

Edwin Van Cleef doesn’t release nearly enough music, it seems like years since his last EP, although maybe he takes his time to make things perfect, ‘cos his new EP, ‘Never Be Alone At Night’ completely nails it.
Hitting up Tom Gavin from Chicago’s awesome Gemini Club for vocals is an inspired move the title track is amazingly slick vocal Nu-Disco track that’s backed up by two more original tracks, ‘Triton’ a Tropical-Sci-Fi-Acid-Disco jam and the retro night drive that is ‘I Feel You’. the reMix talent that contributes to the EP is nothing to be scoffed at either. Blue Satellite deliver a beautiful mid-tempo chilled take on the title tune with loads of synthesizer soul with Ugly Kids bring us the straight-up good time Disco version that injects the EP with some added Funk. Pharao Black Magic take on ‘Triton’ and create a head on collision between Moog Funk and the track Acid roots.
All in all this EP is highly recommended.

Sneaky Sound System tore up the Roller Disco at Bestival this past weekend so it’s was nice to come home to this, a meeting of one of out favourite ElectroPop acts and one of out favourite Dreamwave double acts.
The two Olivers of Oliver give Sneaky Sound System’s new single ‘Big’ a Nu-Disco workout worthy of the tracks name. it’s big. Massive synth chords, a huge Electro-House riff and gargantuan drums. Yup, it’s all got a bit…er…bigger.

Right, a lot of backlog today to get through but there’s no way we can kick off without taking a moment to express our condolences to the friends and family of Mehdi Favéris-Essadi, better known as DJ Mehdi who tragically died yesterday at his home in Paris.
The man helped shape that Ed Banger sound we all love and invigorated any track he touched with an ear for the dancefloor and a twisted mind for sample abusing. His beats will be missed.
Strangely this past Saturday he was playing at Bestival alongside Riton as Carte Blanche for Annie Mac, who dropped ‘The Molecules’ as a download. Carte Blanche rocked that Big Top!
