Hemingway reMixes Gossip Culture

We featured the original version and a reMix from French SynthWave rocker Tommy, of American ElectroPop producer Gossip Culture ‘s new single, Just Fine With You, a couple of months ago. Now it;s looking like the track is getting it’s proper release soon it seems time to look at the remaining reMix on the single, from the excellent Toronto eclectic Disco producer Hemingway.

Hemingway whips up something a little different for this track. Driven by harsh drum machine beast that are very reminiscent on early Warp Records output. Those raw, shuffling House beats provide a unique backing for Hemmingway’s waves of lush synths. Ryan Sheridan’s hazy Chillwave vocal sits nicely with the reMixes cosmic synths and ‘90’s House touches. It’s a reMix that probably shouldn’t work on paper, with all these conflicting elements, but Hemingway makes everything come together in harmony, and makes it seem effortless.

Silenx’s ‘Hyperion’

A new track from from Portuguese funky retro SynthWave guru Silenx is always cause for celebration, and Friday is just when we like them, it;s something to funk out way into the weekend with. So today is Friday, and Silenx has released this little synthetic groove monster, prefect timing.

Hyperion warbles along on a spikey, rolling Moogy bassline full of funk flourishes laying the groundwork for a cosmic array of ringing chimes and inspiring chords. Silenx has dropped another one of his galactic Disco tunes, once again soundtracking a wondrous journey through deep space. Everything in this track is Sci-Fi evocative. The grumbling bassline the ships engines, the resonant chords the depth of space and the twinkling melodies…well, you can guess where we’re going with this. Silenx always manages to make his tunes both funky as hell and dreamily atmospheric. That’s no mean feat and we salute him for it.

♫ Silenx – Hyperion

Hyperion is out now at Silenx’s Bandcamp.

Mitch Murder’s ‘Traces To Nowhere’

Well, this is a nice surprise for a Friday. the bringing together of two of my favourite things in the world, Swedish SynthWave master Mitch Murder and David Lynch & Mark Frost’s early ‘90’s unsettling-fest Twin Peaks. Mitch’s new track is a love letter both to the show and to Angelo Badalamenti’s soundtrack.

Titled Traces To Nowhere (the title of the first, or second, episodes of the show’s first season, depending on your perspective on whether the feature-length pilot is counted as episode one), the track is an obvious homage to Badalamenti and Julee Cruise’s Falling, Twin Peak’s theme tune, but never attempts to replicate it. The track is more a cover version of a mood, an atmosphere, than any one piece of music. Building upon the same foundation of the shows soundtrack, Mitch takes those elements in his own direction, layering lush, haunting synths over a Trevor Jones soundtrack style bass. It will feel familiar, but at the same time brand new. Amazing work.

Pelerins

Pelerins are a duo from Istanbul who make some seriously funky ElectroPop. Infused with everything from Moog Funk to Nu-Disco, these guys are setting their sights on the more DiscoPop end of the spectrum, maybe even having a shot at Chromeo themselves.

They’ve got four un-mastered tracks up on SoundCloud, but even in this demo form, the tracks show off Pelerins’ sheer talent. these raw versions of their track are already head and shoulders above many producing a similar a style. In their masterful hands, the MiniMoog, the talkbox, the rich retro synths, all become something extra special. Their smooth blend of catchy ElectroPop and head nodding Disco and Funk is instantly infectious. From the get go you know you’re listening to something that you’ll be hearing a lot more from in the coming year. Our picks of their SoundCloud would have to be (gun to our head) Falling, a driving DiscoPop tune that mixes up the best Pelerins has to offer, call-an-response talkbox action, wicked Disco licks, stabbing retro synths and a butt shaking groove. Also Is This Love?, a slicker and more nostalgic affair that seems Pelerins show off more of their Dreamwave side with impassioned vocals playing against an biting synthetic Disco soundtrack. You absolutely must check out Pelerins. Turkey’s in the house!

Jowie Schulner’s new single

Jowie Schulner, head honcho over at Boombar Music, this week released a brand new single, Two Hearts. Having dipped his toes in the waters of Euphoric Track in recent months, Two Hearts sees Jowie back in the SynthWave saddle, but bringing a little of the euphoria with him.

It;s all sparking melodies and soaring synth leads in Two Hearts. Carried along on a rapid fire arpeggiated bassline Jowie brings together the best of his two sides evocative, nostalgic synth sounds and uplifting sunrise dance music. Two Hearts is pure bliss in synthesizer form, with a melody that will get under your skin. reMix duties are covered by Germany’s top duo, Final DJs who bring some smooth Disco tinged SynthWave to the tune, upping the stakes with their feel-good dancefloor magic and shining lead lines. Two tracks guaranteed to rock any party.

Visitor reMixed by Lifelike

So as we enter the final approach to the release of Visitor’s long, long, long awaited new double A-side single, Coming Home/RNB, it time for the trickle of reMixes to begin. And there’s a lot to look forward to, with work from Viceroy, FM Attack, Bestrack and SymbolOne incoming. But first up is this reMix of Coming Home from French Touch pioneer Lifelike.

this was actually out first taste of the track, it was featured back in the June 2011 edition of Fear Of Tigers’ The Guestlist. Coming Home is an epic ElectroPop anthem to begin with, so the addition of solid dancefloor knowledge from one of the scenes leading lights cannels that uplifting energy straight to the dancefloor. Built around of of Lifelike’s trademark big hooks and a rolling bassline the reMix does a neat job of transferring the tracks euphoria to a peak time dancefloor. Kinda’ excited to hear the rest!
