Lo Fi Fnk – Boom (Moonlight Matters Remix)

lofifnk

Coming straight off of Lo-Fi-Fnk’s reMix package for their new single, ‘Boom’, here’s the slick Disco of Moonlight Matters’ version.

Sitting alongside reMixes from Yelle DJs (tEPr & GrandMarnier) and Weekend Wolves, Moonlight Matters works his Disco magic. Taking the Swedish ElectroPop outsiders and easing their tune into a Funk fuelled dense Disco tune is no mean feat, but the Belgian producer pulls it off effortlessly making their abstract vocal style seem perfectly at home amongst the slap bass driven raw Disco sounds.

♫ Lo Fi Fnk – Boom (Moonlight Matters reMix)

‘Boom’ is released 27th June, their new album ‘Last Summer’ is out on on August 17th

Stream Erasure’s new single

erasure

Here’s your first taste of what to expect from the eagerly awaited new Erasure album. eagerly awaited not only because it is Vince and Andy’s first studio album since 2007 but also because it has been co-produced by contemporary SynthPop marmite Frankmusik.

The track is ‘When I Start To Break Down’, to be the new single, and bodes very well for the album. There’s a certain epicness to the track that you can see coming both from Andy’s solo work and, more definitely, from Frankmusik. It’s got that heartfelt, with a hint of majestic, melodic quality that Frankmusik used to be so good at before he tried to become an AutoTuned American Hip-Pop nightmare (come home Vince!). The song though, is very much an Erasure track though, but Andy’s Vocals and Vince’s writing shine through and gives up high hopes for the new record. The track also shows what a talent Frankmusik still is, he’s just fallen in with a bad musical crowd or something.

♫ Erasure – When I Start To Break It All Down (Single Version)

‘When I Start To Break It All Down’ will be the first single from the forthcoming ‘Tomorrow’s World’ album, it’s released 29th August .

Louis La Roché takes on Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters

Nu-Disco wunderkind Louis La Roché’s latest reMix is a surprising one. surprisingly awesome! He’s taken Foo Fighters’ ‘Everlong’ and make the Rock smooth!

At fist you wonder whether the growling vocals work in a slick Disco setting, but the end up really doing just that. All credit to Louis, his track is brilliantly crafted around the vocals, created to work with them. Which leaves Dave Grohl’s guttural hollering sliding atop the Electro Disco like and angry, but incredibly funky, track that’s always meant to be there.

New Mille track!

There’s a new Mille track in town! There’s been more output for the Swedish producer recently and that makes me excited for a forthcoming release, and album would be awesome.

‘Crysteena’ immediately cemented Mille as one of my favourite artists of all time, just that one track, so any new output is eagerly awaited round these parts. ‘Roadwraith’ is a dark horror movie of a track that never fails to be bouncy and uplifting in that Mille soaring synth way. A contradiction? Not really, in that moody way that worked so well for Kavinsky on ‘Nightcall’ , Mille works in an 80’s horror kitsch atmosphere into a storming dance track. Growling vocals and ominous chords working in harmony with head nodding bass and cosmic lead lines.

More please!

Flume

flume

Jazzy, soulful, slightly Chillwavey with a hint of Disco and a touch of Glitch is how you might describe the title track from Flume’s first EP.

‘Sleepless’ (which features Anthony For Cleopatra) is a pretty stunning début for this Sydney based 19-year old producer. Chopped beats and cut-up vocals are pretty standard fare for Glitchy electronica but Flume layers these with a true understanding of Funk and a smooth groove that ties the track together and makes it more than it’s contemporaries.
