[Audio] Queen Of Hearts reMixed by Chad Valley

Much like Hannibal from the A-Team, we love it when a plan comes together. Or, more specifically, we love it when two artists we love come together. Chad Valley’s album is easily one of the long playing highlights of the year, read our review here, so to have him reMixing our reigning ElectroPop monarch Queen Of Hearts is something pretty special indeed. This comes with high expectations.

And those expectations are lived up to. Hugo Manuel’s lush post-Chillwave electronics transform a rousing call-to-arms into a peaceful, moody opus. Loaded with expressive synth melodies and dreamy pads. The Queens vocals, once rousing and empowering, become gentle and beautiful vocal caress delicately painted across Chad Valley’s audio canvas. The true use of a reMix is to deliver a totally different take on a track, and this reMix delivers that perfectly. An excellent companion piece to the original.

[Audio] MiGHty mOUse reMixes Seasfire

The latest lucky crew to be gifted by the reMix talent of the mighty MiGHty mOUse is none other than rowdy Bristol Indie-Electro outfit Seasfire. They’ve got a new EP incoming on Cheap Thrills so it seems fitting that the Mouse gets his hands on the track, and new MiGHty mOUse reMixes are always good news for us.

MiGHty mOUse brings it bouncy this time with an upbeat Electro mix that isn’t quite as cosmic as his Cosmic Disco work and isn’t quite as Housy as his House tunes. but would just sit nicely into any Electro-Disco set. Oh, don’t worry, MiGHty mOUse’s spaced-out synth groove is still present and correct, only this time around it’s paired with a absolutely infectious bassline that will worm it;s way into your head and feet. The reverb washed vocal track from Seasfire’s original seems to suit the track well, complimenting, rather than overpowering, the tune.

[Video] Hot Chip’s ‘Don’t Deny Your Heart’

Hot Chip’s latest release will be Don’t Deny Your Heart, one of the more sing-a-long tracks on their new album, In Our Heads, and a great choice of single.

Peter Serafinowicz is once again in the directors hot-seat and once again, it gets pretty surreal. You gotta’ love Serafinowicz’s sense of humour.

[Audio] Mitch Murder’s ‘Medley For Science’

SynthWave genius Mitch Murder recently dropped another slab of slap bass heavy atmospherics. The Sweedish master has whipped up a musical ode to something that’s very close to our hearts, science and the progress of science. Here’s Mitch Murder’s Medley For Science.

As you’d expect from Mitch, the track takes an 80s Soundtrack slant, we’d even go so far as to say there’s a bit of a Weird Science vibe about it. Murder rocks the digital bass with ease, resting the track on an impulsive groovy bassline, mixing it up with some bright, optimistic synth chords and melodies. This could quite easily be the engineering montage theme in an 80s techno comedy flick. Once again Mitch Murder proves why he does it best.

[Audio] A.N.D.Y.’s new single

Just out is the new single from Belgian Disco-House master A.N.D.Y., and it kinda’ drops the Disco side of his musical equation. Featuring the vocals of New York singer/MC Nyemiah Supreme, the track is, we would go so far as to say, Hip-House. A genre not seen for over a decade, but well due for a funky comeback.

The appropriately named Pump It Up, is a slice of pure late 80s brilliance. The trick with Hip-House was to keep it upbeat and keep the raps catchy and both those boxes are ticked here. Kicking off with a woody House bassline it all goes a little Technotronic (no bad thing!) but with a decidedly 21s Century intelligence. Nyemiah’s party rap and big Pop-House chorus work amazingly well with A.N.D.Y.’s invigorating Chicago influenced groove. A classic sounding track with all the experience of Dance music in 2012.

[Site News] Shutting up shop for a week (or so)

Right, so you don’t panic and take to the streets instigating mass rioting and ushering a new age of chaos, I thought I’d let you know we’ll be going dark for a week or so.

I’m moving house, moving back to London, and have got a ton of stuff to do over the next few days and then the move itself so I’m going to be a bit too occupied to write. I reckon we’ll be back on the air next Tuesday or Wednesday. Thursday at the latest, so long at their isn’t a problem with the internet connection at my new place.

If you are screaming for some new music over the next few days, here’s a few tips for you:

Let Em Riot – SlashWave (EP)

Ride The Universe (Feat. Jane Elizebeth Hanley) – A Little Better (Single)

She’s The Queen – Talk To Me (Single)

electronic rumors Volume 1

…yes, I just did that, let’s not make a big deal out of it.

Anyway, catch you on the flipside.

Peace.

[Audio] MiGHty mOUse reMixes Good Night Keaton

Well, it’s shaping up to be a Good Night Keaton and Mereki themed week! The Miami horror drummer’s début solo single is out now, and one of the highlights of the reMix package comes from a slick Disco-House rework from London’s MiGHty mOUse. Prepare for some spaced-out floorfiling grooves.

MiGHty mOUse is really carving out a nice, unique, niche for himself amongst the flood of Disco and House sounds. Folding Cosmic Disco’s textures and his Disco past into a Housier sound MiGHty mOUse brings the best of all worlds.On this reMix of Next To Mexico MM combines a pumping dancefloor beat with a burbling, almost Italo, bassline and layers of hazy, Sci-Fi atmospherics. He then uses this meeting of styles to build a classic, pretty deep, House track on, working deftly with Mereki’s vocal. The end result is a real treat, a tune both kickin’ and musically interesting. It’s ready for the floor.

[Audio] The Presets reMixed by Lifelike

Promises was definitely one of the highlights of The Presets’ under promoted, and underrated, comeback album Pacifica and with the single release we’re definitely getting a better crop of reMix talent that the previous couple of singles from these guys. First up there was Plastic Plates’ awesome mix, now comes Lifelike fresh from the release of Don’t Stop with A-Trak, to take a crack at the track.

Lifelike? reMixing The Presets? Tonight are we going to party like it;s 2008? Indeed we are, this tune is both classic Lifelike and classic The Presets. It’s like This Boy’s In Love (Lifelike reMix) part 2, and that’s an amazing thing! A bit slower, a bit more funky than Lifelike’s frantic arpeggio fuelled The Presets reMix, but the same vibe shines though. The vocals in this track are pretty epic, a true gift for any producer who specialises in massive dancefloor tunes, such as Lifelike, which is handy. Punchy digital bass, solid beats, a swell of sparking synths that wrap around the chorus, all classic Lifelike sounding. Needless to say, this tune is very good.

[MP3] DiscoSocks’ ‘Lifetime’

Just in-case your Disco wasn’t rockin’ you hard enough, London’s DiscoSocks is back with another driving slab of groove to keep you moving. Hot on the heels of his last single, Motivation (out now on MofoHiFi’s sister label Heavy Disco) this new tune takes no dancefloor prisoners

This is Lifetime, and this is guaranteed to get you dancing, or your money back. But wait, Heavy Disco are giving this massive tune away for free, it’s a win.win situation. DiscoSock’s bassline work, arguably where the man excels, rolls underneath a duvet of thick stabs and messed up vocal snatches, keeping a loose Funk and the track in check. With a pitch perfect Disco breakdown and build, dancefloor mayhem will ensue.
