[MP3] Paulie’s ‘Want You’ reMixed by Monday Club

We’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of sometime Cosmonaut and deep Disco producer Paulie’s new single, Want You, since last month and with Mondays imminent release we can wrap our ear holes around one of the reMixes, a luxurious boom-filled warehouse mix from enigmatic London producer Monday Club.

Monday Club really lets himself go on this mix. Starting life as a Chicago-esque jam, with almost Bleep House-like overtones the track swiftly evolves into a glorious, epic, collision of Deep House grooves, Cosmic Disco retro-futurism and Euphoric Trance, well, euphoria. You might think that sounds like a mess, but check out the reMix, it’s tight as hell and a dancefloor oddessy with a true musical narrative. Ass kicking bass too!

♫ Paulie – Want You (Monday Club reMix)

Paulie’s Want You is released 26th August.

[MP3] Chris Malinchak’s ‘If U Got It’ (+ ‘So Into You’)

If U Got It is the forthcoming new single from New York Funky House producer Chris Malinchak. Following up on his breakthrough hit So Good To Me, the ex-French Express man (now signed to Relentless Records) had his new tune premiered by Pete Tong on his Radio 1 show this past weekend. If U Got It is the prefect follow up to the catchy, soulful, Nu-Disco of his previous.

With a crooning selection of vocal samples and a laid back groove, If U Got It is a prime example of Malinchak’s musicality. Expertly blended electric piano and a jazzy swing give this carefree House tune a dreamy, chilled mood. But that’s not all, Malinchak is also giving away a new tune called So Into You, a deep and infectious Chicago-esque track that lifts it’s vocal hook from The System’s Don’t Disturb This Groove and applies it to some warm, summery, warehouse sounds. Grab it now!

[MP3] Selebrities reMix Keep Shelly In Athens’ ‘Recollection’

It’s part two of the Keep Shelly In Athens and Selebrities reMix exchange program. After Keep Shelly In Athens reMixed Selebrities’ Temporary Touch, the Selebs are returning the favour for their Cascine labelmates by whipping up their recent single Recollection into a poppin’ vintage synth fest. Why don’t they just get a room!

From the offset, Selebrities drop an infectious B-boy beat, layering it with vintage synths in a way that brings early New Order to mind. Creating a truly beautiful vintage mood, Selebrities manage to keep this surprisingly funky amidst the washy-washy, reverb soaked, nostalgia. Sarah P’s vocals swim through clam waters of electronic sound and effortlessly meld with the five minutes of upbeat, optimistic, 80s glory.

[Audio] Fenech-Soler’s ‘Last Forever’

We had a quick look at the video for UK ElectroPop heroes Fenech-Soler’s forthcoming new single, Last Forever, earlier this month, but now the single release is drawing nearer, and indeed the release of the following sophomore album from there guys titled Rituals, it’s time to sit down, or stand up, whatever’s your preference, and give the single a listen.

Last Forever is everything you’d want, and expect, from a Fenech-Soler tune. It’s a big, anthemic Pop song. Don’t be fooled by the first 7 seconds of the song sounding like Lion’s theme to TransFormers: The Movie, Last Forever soon launches into a feel-good, summery Indie-ElectroPop monster that is, more than the previous records, set to announce Fenech-Soler’s comeback. It’s still time for this to be a summer hit.

♫ Fenech-Soler – Last Forever

Fenech-Soler’s Last Forever is released 15th September with Rituals released a day later.

[Audio] John Foxx & The Maths reMixes Adult.’s ‘Tonight, We Fall’

Here we end the week with an absolute synthesizer legend remixing another, not-quite-so-legendary–but-still-pretty-legendary artist. SynthPop pioneer and electronic music foundation John Foxx, alongside long-time collaborator Benge as John Foxx & The Maths have reworked the new single from Detroit ElectroClash originators Adult.’s new single, Tonight, We Fall with unsettling results.

What Foxx and cohorts present for you here is five minutes of growling synths, icy arpeggios and machine beats. Factory floor filtered electronic rhythms and hypnotic melodies pin the track down into a relentless march of synthetic sounds broken only by an epic, soaring, middle eight and Adult.’s Nicola Kuperus post Post-Punk vocals. The original version of the track is surprisingly jolly in comparison, after listening to the John Foxx mix, the originals beats seem skippy, the lead lines playful, the harsh drones positively welcoming.

[Audio] Miles Prower’s ‘Outatime’ EP

This week Bristolian SynthWave outfit Miles Prower dropped their sophomore EP on Future City Records. With a nod to Back To The Future in it’s title, the Outatime EP serves up five tracks that see the Prowers move slightly away from a retro 80s sound into something s little cleaner, a little more digital with hints of Euphoric Trance and Progressive House in the mix.

Kicking off with the pulsating, undulating, synthetic soundscape of Tokyo, the Outatime EP contains a few tracks we’ve heard before, and a few new tunes.The EP’s title track, starring Substatic’s Colleen Quinn on vocals, we featured back in July with it’s EBM-like drive slides into Summer Song 2.1, the most traditional SynthWave tune on the EP. All the SynthWave elements are present here, arpeggiated bassline, shimmering leads, elements with are slowed down somewhat for the emotionally charged, Jarre-esque, Devices. The EP plays out on Data Streams (Into The Void). Another vocal track, featuring Coralie Kate on vocal duties, it;s a track that mixed vintage synth melodies with modern electronic sounds and late 90s Trance beats in a swirling whirlwind of sound. Another solid EP from these guts.

[Audio] Holy Ghost!’s ‘Okay’

One of the greatest duo’s ever to come out of New York, ElectroPoppers Holy Ghost! have dropped another taste of what to expect from the forthcoming sophomore album Dynamics. We’ve already given you listen to two new tracks, Dumb Disco Ideas and Teenagers In Heat, which must have sufficiently whet your appetites for this long awaited record and this new tune, Okay, just makes us even more excited.

Okay is the albums opener and delivers a catchy entry point to the new album. Smooth and friendly, Okay revels in Holy Ghost!’s eclectic influences but remains a Pop song at it’s core. Sure, there are a couple of abrasive synth hooks, and a post-Industrial percussive pounding, but Holy Ghost! make it sound sweet with introverted vocals and a breezy, carefree mood. This is how you do interesting SynthPop.

[Audio] Le Youth reMixes Foxes’ ‘Youth’

As we reported last week, one of ElectroPop songstress Foxes’ first tunes, Youth, is getting re-released, and as we can expect, it’s going to come with a loaded reMix package in a couple of months time. Included in that package is this slightly weird, but very cool, reMix from LA Disco producer Le Youth.

Le Youth pitched down the vocals, but not in a Chicago House way, in a was that oddly fits with what he’s done musically. Chopping and cutting the vocals over a deep Disco groove, Le Youth spins the track around with popping purcussion, sharp retro synths and an R&B swing. This is your new soundtrack for good times with good friends, even if the pitched down vocals are a tad unsettling at times.

[Audio] Rocco Raimundo reMixes Holy Models’ ‘Swimming’

Eskimo Recordings recent accusation, Australian trio Holy Models’ new single Swimming has been causing quite a stir amongst people in-the-know int he last couple of weeks. The threesome of Adam Frawley, Mitchell Van Kaathoven and Luke McKay with a little behind the scenes help from Mr. James Curd, are due to release this début next week with a host of reMixes. One mix in particular has caught our attention, coming from Disco don Rocco Raimundo.

Rocco serves up a blistering array of poolside sounds set to a heavy, but laid back, House beat. Rolling Disco bass runs all over the tune, a synth pulsar that singes on the whole track. Hazy, delayed, vocal snatches and comfortable keys all add up to deliver a chilled, but imminently funky, seven minutes of sunshine bliss.

Holy Models The Pink Collection EP is released 26th August.

[Audio] Ditt Inre’s ‘Formulär 1A’ & ‘Tystnaden’

Here is a couple of track from Stockholm spacy groovers Ditt Inre. These guys will be releasing their début full length record on the awesome Cascine next month but if you want a hint of what you can look forward two, here’s two track from the post-Chillwavers’ funky shoegazy repertoire.

Formulär 1A lead off in ethereal style, and just for a moment (well, a few minutes) you are cajoled into settling into an atmospheric, haunting, audio experience, before the bounciest of Electro beats kicks in to flip the track on it’s head. The combination of swirling synth tones and dreamlike, hazy vocals with a tight dancefloor friendly beat makes for an interesting contrast, and one that works really well in this case. Tystnaden, on the other hand, leads with an irresistible synth bassline before descending, and taking you with it, into a whirlpool of cascading tones and whispered vocals. We’re very interested to hear the rest of the album.
