JBAG reMix Housse De Racket

Housse-de-Racket

So, you’ve already hear the Mickey and Hey Champ! reMixes of Housse De Racket’s forthcoming ‘Château’ single, here’s the one we’ve been waiting for, London’s ElectroPop champion’s JBAG take the stage.

True to their ‘Hot Pop’ reMixes of old, JBAG bring a deep, rounded, funk to the mix and their ElectroPop sheen. this is definitely my favourite of the reMixes so far, that bassline is so early ‘90’s DancePop yet somehow evolves into something more Disco as the track progresses. This track just makes you want to hit the dancefloor and reminds us why we fell in love with JBAG and Boombox back in 2007/08.

♫ Housse De Racket – Château (JBAG reMix)

The ‘Château’ single will be “out soon” on Kitsuné Music.

Daroc’s new EP

Daroc is back! It’s been a while since we heard anything from the French SynthWave producer and even longer singe we wrote about him (years in fact). But he’s just dropped a brand new EP, and it was worth the wait.

From the opening BladeRunner synth sweeps of ‘Initial’, the first track, you know you’re in for a full on Sci-Fi synth experience. The track soon kicks into a Post-Italo Electro masterpiece, driven along by an appreciated bassline the track layers neon soaked electronics and haunting melodies thick and leads into ‘Paychodio’, a track that exists at the place where Moroder and Tangerine Dream meet to record the soundtrack to a dystopian metropolis.It really shows off why Daroc is regarded so highly by many of the top electronic music producers in France, Kavinsky, Jupiter, Gaspard Augé to name a few. ‘Escale’ slows things down and lest Daroc show off his skills for creating moods and atmospheres with electronics. A peice that is beautiful and a little scary, ‘Escale’ is a nice interlude in the ‘movie’ that is ‘Destination’. The original tracks come to a close on ‘Sea Steria’, a majestic track with an almost baroque feel built on cosmic sweeps and piercing melodies. The EP rounds off with three reMixes, the best of which comes from John Lord Fonda and old school electronic rumors illumni 4TrackZ and Mmmattias who all bring some big Electro dancefloor sensibility to the tracks. I’m gonna’ go ahead and say this is one of my favourite releases of the year so far, and it’s highly recommended.

Pat Lok’s new track

Pat Lok

On The Fruit Records have just dropped the latest track from Canadian Nu-Disco producer Pat Lok. the title track from Pat’s new single. Good times!

‘Remember’ is a dream of a track. Even though it has a really solid groove, the track seems to float on by, carried on clouds made of Funk. In general ‘Remember’ has got a bit of an LA vibe about it, both in the Funk and in the beach Disco departments, I imagine that this tune is going to go down a storm at quite a few parties in that part of the world, that’s not to say it won’t be rockin’ more than a few dancefloors elsewhere too. Keep hitting play ‘cos once the track gets 5,000 plays, On The Fruit are gonna’ release the download!

MiGHty mOUse reMixes Nyteowl

Nyteowl

Earlier this month Minneapolis based four peice Nyteowl released their ‘Love of Mine’ single on Juno’s new label, Love Interest. Amongst the top quality collection of reMix talent was MiGHty mOUse with this Moroder-esque Disco mix.

This is probably the most Italo leaning track MM has done to date, and it’s that more electronic sound that allowed it to slot so well into MM’s recent, amazing, Disco Circus 3 compilation. More synthetic, less sample based, Nu-Disco is becoming more and more popular and we see that as an superb thing and with track like this MiGHty mOUse is going to be leading the charge. This reMix is a wonderful mixture of energy and soul, it’s got the power of the most full-on dancefloor track but oozes the emotion and Funk of late ‘70’s electronic Disco experiments.

…and Boom! Just like that Nu-Disco wunderkind Madeon drops another track that makes the internet loose it’s shit. This time it a reMix of Martin Solveig’s forthcoming single ‘The Night Out’.

With a sound that is now unmistakably Madeon, the 17-year old turns Solveig’s track into a thing of pure power. it’s pretty instant to thing that at his young age he is already one of most popular electronic artists in the world, but with Pop-Disco juggernauts like this you can see why. it’;s got everything, The kick of Electro, the groove of Nu-Disco, the lush synths of French Touch and the soaring solos of SynthWave. How long can he keep this up?

She’s The Queen reMixes Stars

Stars

She’s The Queen are pretty much family now, so everything the release had better be amazing or it’s gonna’ get pretty awkward around here pretty quickly. Luckily that’s not a bridge we’ve had to cross yet as showcased by their latest track, a reMix of Montreal based Indie-Electro outfit Stars’ ‘We Don’t Want Your Body’, which is (thankfully) amazing.

She’s The Queen’s Drew shows off his production chops one again with this mix, taking the raucous original and reeling it in to a slick summery ElectroPop class act. The layers of synth here are all perfectly balanced, the punch bass and sparking leads all sitting comfortable with each other and the vocals, which take on a whole new inflection in this setting. Check it out.

Perturbator

If you been paying attention to SynthWave recently you’ll have noticed that there is more and more music being made that feels a lot like old School EBM. French producer Perturbator takes that retro harshness and mixes it up with a healthy dose of Jarre on his new EP ‘Night Driving Avenger’.

The title track growls like and angry robotic beast as those machine arpeggiated basslines hammer along at breakneck speed while Perturbator shows off his true skill, melody and solos. On every track on the EP his ability to craft emotional musical beats that really get across the mood of the tune or just impress the hell out of you with his skills. As a big fan of Jarre and Vangelis is awesome to hear this kind of epic synth work set against a pounding beat. ‘Grim Heart’ carries on in this tradition, the EBM aggression playing against the shining synth work. It’s not all high-octane powerhouses though, ‘Electric Dreams’ is a beautiful, haunting peice that would easily be suited to the quieter moments in BladeRunner, take that Vangelis! The EP contains one more track, ‘Miami Sunsets’, but I’ll make you head on over to Perturbator Sound Cloud to hear it so you can check out his vast back catalogue of synth epics.
