This reMix of Plastic Plates’, Simon Lord featuring, Things I Didn’t Know I Loved is a nice little extra. Not featuring on the single, it comes as part of Kitsuné Music’s Kitsuné Club Night Mix #3 compilation, mixed by main man Gildas. It;s by Mexican producer Bufi and is perfect Friday night material,
Bufi Houses things up a little, mixing a nice digital Disco bassline with a big piano House riff to fun, summery effect. This mix is all about dancing and good times, injecting the track with a lively carnival vibe and enough dancefloor power to keep it moving. A nice Balearic breakdown adds a little touch of sunrise awe right in the middle of a solid groove.

Black Van is, of course, the duo of German Electro-Disco master Kris Menace and long-time collaborator, Moonbootica’s KoweSix. These two have released some cool shit over the years, gracing some of Disco’s top labels, the likes of DFA and Permanent Vacation. This twosome is back together and have just released a brand new single, Inside. Amongst the big beats is this reMix from LA Dreamwave, and Oliver themed, duo, Oliver.
It seems like this reMix is a nice indication of where these two have been, and where they are going. If you’ve heard their recent collaboration with A-Trak, and their thoughts on the matter, you’ll be aware that the guys are expanding their sound. Maybe they are taking in a wider Dance music scope, bringing a bit of the current American Dance music markets grit to their tune, adding it to their smooth Disco fuelled Dreamwave. But this reMix for Black Van seems to be the best of both worlds. Soulful and dreamy as their best LA vibed tunes, but with a pounding Electro groove. It’s like a tune made of stardust. From the big stabs, to the shimmering lead line, to the totally rocking beat, everything about this track is right on the money.

Maxxi Soundsystem & Thomas Gandey’s new single, I Don’t Care, a deep, groovy, 90s House track with a warehouse vibe, has now got itself a video.
Sam Hurlock and Joe Beverley direct this simple study in personality, which seems to work nicely with the track.

Here’s the video for Toro Y Moi current single So Many Details. An exercise in Chillwave and Nu-Funk from his new album Anything In Return.
The clip is directed by HARRYS, and sees Chaz living the music video high life, but seeming to be uninterested in it all.

Falling For You is the forthcoming new single from Derbyshire’s finest Pinemarten. It’s been a few months since his I Can See EP but that’s not time wasted. Falling For You, and it’s B-side Built For Two, were recorded between September and November this year and have a particular autumnal feel.
It’s a track that features some of the sweetest synth solos we’ve heard in a while. While Falling For You’s core is a spacious, Funk fuelled, hazy soundscape, loaded with soulful drums, punchy digital bass, and reverb washed vocals, it;s when those solos kick in that the song is taken to the next level. Truly soaring stuff. The single is due for release later this month backed with two reMixes.

It;s been a while since we heard from one of the best ElectroPop act to emerge in the last few years. About a year in fact, but Monarchy have been holed up in the studio and are ready to start unleashing new material. The first new single from the duo is the recently announced collaboration with goth muse Dita Von Teese titled Disintegration, and the guys have just dropped a reMix of the track by none other than London Disco wizard MiGHty mOUse.
If you were looking for some low-down synthetic Funk topped with a dramatic vocal, you’ve come to the right place. MiGHty mOUse get back to his squelchy Disco roots with an energetic, infectious bassline, twisting little riffs and some vintage strings, bringing a whole new level of 70s flair to the vocals. Seriously, this reMix is so addictive we defy anyone not to start nodding their head at least, the prefect combination of Disco, Funk and Monarchy’s ElectroPop. The track is a guaranteed dancefloor rocker and just us just a little insight into what’s to come from Monarchy.

Monarchy & Dita Von Teese’s Disintegration is released in January alongside a video shot by Roy Raz.

On Christmas Day is La SynthPop outfit Father Tiger’s contribution to the X-Mas cheer. It’s a wonderfully upbeat slice of electronic melancholy, which all the best X-mas tunes are.
There’s a nice video too which, for a free single, looks a hell of a lot better than some videos from major artists.

Here’s the video for Canadian Indie-Electro crew Dragonette’s raucous X-Mas single, Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message).
It’s a bit cheeky using a lyric video (which no-one really likes) as an official video, a bit cheap too, but it is nicely animated. Just a bit disappointing that Dragonette couldn’t make the effort, and the label didn’t have the faith in them to spend the money, to make a proper videos. It is fun, for what it’s worth, we just hate lyric videos.

Perth Indie new-comers Sun City certainly know how to pick their reMixers. The seems to be working through a who’s-who of Australian electronic music talent. First it was Disco demon SHAZAM!, then the king of down-under SynthWave Jordan F unleashed his version of their track Zoetrope, now Aussie Nu-Disco legend G.L.O.V.E.S. has whipped up their new tune, Horizon’ into a smooth beach-party tune.
Apparently the reMix was inspired by the current climate in Australia, by “the last month of beach raves, boat parties, rooftop pools & balmy evenings”, which makes us insanely jealous as, being in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s pretty chilly here. But G.L.O.V.E.S. brings a little of that sunshine vibe to our foggy winter morning with a slick, laid-back, groove. Dropping in hints of the original’s vocals amongst wicked Disco licks and warm 70s synth sounds G.L.O.V.E.S. a sexy House tinged Nu-Disco tune that we’ll be saving up for our summer.
