[Download] Joakim’s ‘On The Beach’

Tigersushi boss and French electronic master Joakim has unleashed the first single from his forthcoming new album. The album’s called Tropics Of Love and is due out later in the year, before that comes On The Beach at the end of this month and will featured reMixes from CFCF and Principles of Geometry. The track is, in fact, a cover of a 1974 Neil Young track and shows off just what an ecclectic talent Joakim is.

With a moody and darker mood that we would be used to from Joakim, On The Beach is a smokey synthetic ballad. Pulsating apreggios seem to fade in and out of focus against a hazy of purcussion and haunting tones. Joakim’s modulated vocals whisper a robot’s lament against this dreamlike opus of synthetic Blues. Stick around for the saxophone solo!

Joakim’s On The Beach is released 31st March.

[Audio] Timecop1983’s ‘Hold Me’

Dutch SynthWaver Timecop1983’s new EP, Daydreaming, is the next release on Futurecop!’s new WeAreTheFuture imprint. If you want some laid back, nostalgic vibes to ease you from your work-a-day week into a chilled weekend then you’ve come to the right place. Press play, lie back, and dream.

Featuring the vocals of Hannah Edwards, Hold Me serves up a plethora of pulsating synths, smoothly easing the track ever onward amidst a sea of shimmering pads and razor sharp keys. Slow and steady, this track swirls around you, helped by Ms Edwards smokey vocal. It’s got kinda’ high school vibe, a bit raw, a bit naive, but that’s part of it’s charm. An enveloping track on an interesting EP.

[Audio] Plastic Plates’ ‘Nothing Like You’

Hot on the heels of his collaboration with Sam Sparro, here’s Felix Bloxsom, better known as Plastic Plates’ new single. Getting it;s long awaited release at the end of the week on Sweat It Out!’s Club sweat imprint, Nothing Like You serves up five minutes of feel-good party sounds to kick you into the summer.

Slickly spreading some punchy Nu-Disco keys over a rock solid House beat, Felix brings the irresistible dance vibes to your speakers with this one. A chopped-up, soulful, vocal sample neatly ties the track together while warping synths bubble in and out of focus, allowing the track to ebb and flow with them. All underpinned with a stuttering funky bassline, Nothing Like You is a dancefloor workhorse that’s guaranteed to keep ‘em happy every-time.

[Download] Amtrac’s ‘Don’t Know’

Kentucky based producer Amtrac is back with a storming new tune which nicely combines everything that you imagine might be good about the current crop of American dance music (no, I’m not going to say ‘it’) and applies it to some neat European House sounds, resulting in something that’s as euphoric as it is groove, and doesn’t piss all over the US’s deep electronic music heritage.

Enlisting the help if Posso on Don’t Know, Antrac drops a selection of popping electro Toms, House organ and a bassline that warps in and out of your mind over shuffling hats and a solid kick. The warehouse vocal snatches are just the icing on the cake for this summer festival monster. Acquire some dancing shoes, right now.

Here’s the video for V V Brown and Kele Okereke’s Faith, a buzzing and enveloping synthetic tribal Pop song that’s been getting a lot of play recently.

The Kele-less clip is a stark, monochrome, V V Brown study that works well with the beautiful simplicity of the track.

[Download] Pet Shop Boys’ ‘It’s Alright’ reMixed by Dusty Digital

Some classic House sounds right here from Boston producer Dusty Digital as he sets to work turning-in this retro dancefloor version of SynthPop legends Pet Shop Boys’ It’s Alright. He’s morphed the anthemic Pop of the original into a glossy, seven minute, warehouse epic that just keeps on going and going, building and building.

Serving up heavy beats and a thick, Italo-esque bassline, alongside an infectious Piano hook. Dusty Digital creates an authentic early 90s House Pop sound which feels in-keeping with the song (which saw a 1989 release). Once he;’s let the original song play itself out, however, Dust then descend into a total synthesizer freak out, a cosmic voyage through soaring solos, all still set to the Chicago House style backing. It’s a track of two halves, both of them awesome.

[Download] Pat Lok reMixes Mjolnir’s ‘Just A Boy’

Indonesian outfit Mjolnir’s new single Just A Boy was released this week on Jerry Bouthier’s Continental Records. We already posted the JBAG dub of the track. Now it’s time to check out what Canadian Housemeister Pat Lok has in store for the tune. It the mix we were most looking forward to hearing, Pat’s been on a roll recently, and he’s kept it going right here.

Taking the track deeper and groover than the JBAG’s version. Lok drops a warm summertime sound comprising a solid beat, and fidgety but utterly infectious subby bassline and layers of Tropical keys. The end result is somehow more laid back, yet more dancefloor destroying that the excellent original. That’s the magic of Pat Lok
