[Audio] Soft Metals’ ‘When I Look Into Your Eyes’ reMixed by L-Sedition

When two acts we’re particularly fond of come together it;s always a cause for excitement. Especially when those two acts are at the forefront of intelligent electronic music. Portland Minimal Synth outfit Soft Metals’ Lenses album was one of the highlights of last year for us, so we’re stoked to hear there is a reMix album on the horizon, even more stoked that one of the reMixes comes from ex-Violet Tremors; L-Sedition, further stoked to première the reMix right here. That’s a lot of stoked, we know, but listen to the tune and you’ll hear why.

The reMix is actually surprisingly Housey, with a real old school flavour that’s a mix of Chicago and Detroit.The hypnotic beat, best suited to strobe light business, carries you along past waves of grinding synths and sparking arpeggios. With just a haunting hint of the original’s vocals, L-Sedition crafts an engrossing, striped back, vintage Dance sound without forgetting the edgy SynthPop roots of the track.

♫ Soft Metals – When I Look Into Your Eyes (L-Sedition reMix)

Soft Metals’ Lenses reMixes is released 3rd February.

[Audio] Cyclist edits Anoraak’s ‘Behind Your Shades’

French Dreamwave legends Anoraak release their new single, Behind Your Shades, this week. One of the standout tracks from the recent Chronotropic album, the single comes equipped with this edit from Canada’s finest; Cyclist. And it’s well titled, as it is more of an edit than a reMix, but one of the best edits we’ve heard in a while.

Ringing every last drop of dancefloor goodness from the track, Cyclist works the beat and bassline into a thick House monster, letting the tracks floaty Dreamwave overtone glide over the intoxicating groove. Knowing just when to use the vocals, and when to let the music speak for itself, Cyclist lets the mood rise and fall with a couple of deftly placed builds and drops. Definitely a let night floorfiller with a vibe that is as comforting as a warm blanket.

[Audio] Banks’ ‘Brain’

Out this week is the new single from Blog Sound showstopper Banks who continues to tease us with hints of her forthcoming début album. The track, Brain, is produced by Shlohmo, who is apparently a person; but unlike previous collaborators such as SHON and TEED, not a person we’ve heard of. Whoever Shlohomo is, though, makes some sumptuous sounds for Banks to warble over.

Brain is an involving, deep, five minutes that’s just peppered with Bank’s greatness. Her vocals soar over the distorted backing, guiding the track through rises and falls and sweeping the listener along with her. Smooth R&B beats and a nod to LA Funk are all mixed up in this electronic melting pot. Epic stuff.

[Audio] Arcadis’ ‘In Your Eyes’

German deep and soulful House producer Arcadis is back with a brand new EP. A storming collection of tunes from a guy who is fast becoming one of our favourite Deep/Garage-y/UK-ish/Bass House artists. Arcadis mixes up a load of Old School 90s House, Chicago vibes, UK Bass and Deep House with shuffling Garage beats.

In Your Eyes, the lead track of the similarly titled EP, is one of his finest to date. Exactly the kind of tune we’d love to hear right in the middle of a dancefloor session. Hypnotic to the fullest, the track growls along on the strength of 909 beats and deep, rumbling, bass. A deftly used vocal line ties the tune together nicely, especially in the surprisingly euphoric builds. We’d say this was a House crate essential.
