[MP3] Jordan F reMixes Yale

Yale are an Indie-Dance duo hailing from Brisbane, Australia. Their track Lost In The Crowd has been giving the shining SynthWave treatment by Aussie ex-pat Jordan F. We generally love it when Jordan gets his hands on some vocals, not that we don;t love his music anyway, but how he works a song into a blissful, hazy, dream is always something we look forward to.

This time he had a pretty good starting point. Yale’s track is slick summery Indie-Electro, full of heart, which gives Jordan the perfect jump-off point to weave his nostalgic magic. The whole thing is just so warm and fuzzy you can’t help but become enthralled by it. The tracks wonderfully heartfelt vocals are a fine match for Jordan’s emotional electronics. Smooth retro sounds at their fullest.

[Audio] Com Truise reMixes Maroon 5

Maroon 5. Yeah you heard us. Bet you never though you’d visit electronic rumors to find an article about Maroon 5, did ya? Honestly, neither did we, but the amazing Mr. Com Truise, SynthWave legend, had delivered a thoroughly awesome reMix of their track One More Night, that’s had us listening to Maroon 5 all day.

So, we have no idea what the original sound like, or if it’s new or old. What we can tell you, though, is that this track is pretty damn cool. The combination of Truise’s spikey synths and vintage beats with what are some surprisingly soulful vocals is pitch perfect for a dreamy SynthPop track. Truise manages to keep the Funk going amidst analog synth slabs and rolling arpeggios, meaning a track that could have sounded quite cold, feels warm and nostalgic. In this context the vocals are actually really enjoyable. Imagine if Maroon 5 really sounded this good.

[MP3] p e a c e Fire’s return

Remember p e a c e FIRE? They were a blog staple a few years back, dropping some seriously awesome reMixes culminating in the awesome Sapphire Rainbow EP. He’s been a bit quiet recently, letting loose the occasional track here and there but generally keeping a low profile. Well, that’s all about to change, as Keenhouse’s Sunlinxx Records are gearing up to release p e a c e FIRE’s massive new single, which you can grab your exclusive first listen to right here.

Death By English is the name of the new single, and fans of really electronic Disco should rejoice. The Tokyo resident has pulled out all the stops on this new single. Revolving around an insanely catchy synth riff Death By English is bright like starlight. Everything about it sound crisp, and although highly robotic, the track has so much soul. Layers of punchy synth bass, piercing leads, and an intense analog groove. Death By English is an intricately crafted track that never looses sight of either musicality or the dancefloor. What more could you ask for? A very welcome return. The exciting news is p e a c e FIRE is currently holed-up in his studio working on a full length record, to be released later in the year. While you’re here, check out p e a c e FIRE’s crazy good reMix of Swiss Trance artist Tatana’s, Ingrid Lukas featuring, No Lie. Available to download below, the track is a slo-mo Sci-Fi Disco oddessy with a Dubby beat, loaded with analog synth melodies and sweeping soundscapes. It’s what music sounds like in the future. It sounds like it’s going to be a good year for p e a c e FIRE.
