Worship’s ‘Horizon’ reMix EP

It’s that time again! Today ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’ are putting out their next release, the long awaited collection of reMixes from the Swiss SynthWave producer Worship’s Horizon EP, and man have they brought together some serious talent for this package.

The reMix release kicks off with electronic wizard Steve Moore’s version of the original EP’s lead track Spiral End, which features the vocals of Ricco Vitali  from Cavaliers Of Fun. Moore takes the bares bones from the vocal track and whips them up into a deep warehouse groove. A hypnotic synth pulse that you could get totally lost in on the dancefloor. Freak You also tackles Spiral End, the Frenchman’s take on the track travels a different road. Freak You builds the tune into a powerful, driving SynthWave tune with piano House overtones and a creamy ElectroPop topping. The king of ‘80’s electronica, Mitch Murder, delivers his version of Horizon, taking his time with the track and working his synthesizer magic. He brings a smooth retro soundtrack vibe to the EP with shimmering melodies and roomy drum fills, layering the track with dramatic tones until bursting into a solo fuelled finale. Elsewhere on the EP you’ll find Finnish big room masters Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver get funky with Miles Inside, combining a low down House groove with lush emotive piano and abrasive, Acidic, synth lines for full on dancefloor intoxication. The EP also comes equipped with Tanz/Tanz’s dark club take on Spiral End. Another amazing release from both Worship and Holographic People.

Jupiter’s ‘Juicy Lucy (Needs A Boogieman)’, with Little Boots, Punks Jump Up and Zimmer

Jupiter

Juicy Lucy (Needs A Boogieman), the title track from awesome French ElectroPop duo Jupiter’s début album is getting s single release this week, in all it’s Moog Funk glory. It’s accompanied by an absolutely stunning reMix package.

It;s hard to say Juicy Lucy (Needs A Boogieman) was one of the standouts of the album, when the album contained nearly one-hundred percent killer tracks, but it certainly was one of the tracks that sticks in your head, with it’s twisted P-Funk bassline and infectiously catchy chorus. It’s the prefect mix of sweet ElectroPop and warm French Disco. Our girl Little Boots delivers a majestic reMix that mixes up a deep 90s House vibe with a few Cosmic elements. Vicky brings a hypnotic dancefloor groove, layered with and uplifting piano hook and some great robo-vocoding. Punks Jump Up go down the warped Disco route with their reMix, the funky squelch bass powering the track along and commanding you to dance amidst the piercing synth stabs. Belgian angled Disco-meister Zimmer takes us down a Kraftwerk meets Moroder road with his take on the track. A deep electronic, at times Acidic pulse, that belies some seriously beautiful melodies.

Ellie Goulding reMixed by Alex Metric

Ellie Goulding

Alex Metric has whipped up a hell of a reMix with his new track. He’s worked over Ellie Goulding’s forthcoming new single Anything Could Happen and delivered a full on dancefloor assault.

So far, we are sad to say, we haven’t been that taken with any of the single from Ellie’s new album. Which is a pity, Lights was our album of the year back in 2010, Ellie’s voice and Starsmith’s (mostly) production was a killer combination but the new album seems a little more low key. Anyway, Metric sweeps that aside and goes massive with his version of Anything Could Happen, using the vocals primarily as a big breakdown in to seriously addictive Electro madness. Clashing, rapid first synth riffs and a slick Disco beat come together to make a groovy, but in-your-face, body moving monster.

Figure Of 8 reMixes Creatures Of Love

Creatures Of Love

The best thing to come out of Belfast since Sons Of Anarchy season three, and star of the hit dragon-porn show Game Of Thrones, Figure Of 8 is back with a brand new reMix. This time he’s tackling Industrial EtheriPop outfit Creatures Of Love’s new single ‘Vakkula’.

The original is a surprisingly catchy slice of machine beats and ominous tones. Shades of early 4AD output and pre-Pop-Trance Delirium dungeon music with a powerful vocal line. A vocal line which Figure Of 8 picks up and runs with it, pairing it up with a pulsating SynthPop bassline and roomy dance beats. Merging his classic dance sound with a slight Italo-Dub touch, Figure Of 8 takes just the right approach to sliding this track onto the dancefloor. The soundsystem echoes and reverb washed drums allow the track to retain it’s left-field vibe whilst giving it a kick in the kick drum. Figure Of 8 has taken the track from strobe light to mirrorball, while loosing none of the song’s character.

Ryan Riot reMixes Revolver

Revolver

Here’s the new reMix from Swiss SynthWave wonder Ryan Riot. It;s his anthemic take on French Indie band Revolver’s Let’s Get Together, and it strays from his usual retro Synth style into some decidedly hypnotic Disco territory.

Mr. Riot instils the track with am impressive level of drama, constantly building layers upon layers of cinematic strings and tension building synth leads. We’re not really familiar with the original, but the vocals have a Muse-like air of anthemic majesty to them, and Ryan plays off that with his track, which includes a massive breakdown and build, whilst also delivering a helping of 90’s House in the background. Well worthy of and dancefloor, Ryan Riot’s mix of Let’s Get Together may be his best work to date. Can;t wait for the next.

80s Stallone’s ‘Out Of The Blue’

80s Stallone

London SynthWave master 80s Stallone’s new track, Out Of The Blue, might just be his most dancefloor friendly to date. We’d even go so far as to say there’s a load of Italo-Disco up in there. 80’s Stallone producing big dancefloor tracks is definitely something to get excited about, Check it out!

Pounding machine drums and a rapid fire Italo bassline rule this track, bringing the big 80s sounds straight to the middle of the dancefloor and making it bounce in unison. There are time in this track, that it is so relentless in it’s groove that it boarders on EBM, but it tempered with some sweet lead lines and distant vocoding. We can’t stop listening to this track, it takes us back to the New Beat and EBM dancefloors of our childhoods with a really nice 80s Italo sheen.

Le Youth’s new track

Le Youth

LA DiscoPop producer Le Youth has been quiet for quite a while now, but he’s definitely announcing he’s still around with his new track. Cool is the prefect way to hold on to the end of the summer.

Cool mixes up a Tropical sound with a rolling House beat and some smooth as silk, summery, vocals. Vocally speaking, Le Youth lifts the top-line from Cassie‘s Me and You and works it into his particular groove. feeling the sound of his hometown, Le Youth drops those perfect LA beats and poolside basslines to build up a sunshine vibe. This is probably the last of the summer’s great beach Disco track. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Mindscramble reMixes Kites

Kites

Manchester’s purveyor of the finest SynthWave and retro synth tunes, Mr. Mindscramble has cooked up another fantastic slice of ‘80’s awesomeness for us in the form of this reMix of  London based Indie-Electro outfit Kites’ new single, This Jumped-up Boy in Livery.

The original of This Jumped-up Boy in Livery is in impressive, deep, mix of Post-Punk and ElectroPop, I burbling synth backing with Gothy vocals, but Midscramble takes it to the next level with with a vintage SynthPop twist. The track starts off in true SynthWave fashion, pulsating synths and warm retro sounding chords, but Mindscrample’s rhythm work and the addition of the vocals gives the track a nice mid-‘80’s UK Pop feel. There’s a little Pet Shop Boys going on there, a little Dead Or Alive too. The frantic arpeggios and piercing lead lines really play in to the drama of the vocal track, resulting in a rich, powerful post-Italo ElectroPop tune.
