[Audio] Chromeo & Toro Y Moi’s ‘Come Alive’ reMixed by Le Youth

Chromeo and Toro Y Moi’s awesome new single Come Alive is barely out and the reMixes are starting to flood in. Luckily, at the forefront of the wave is LA Disco master Le Youth, himself gearing up for his new single release, Dance With Me. Expect big things when these two funky powerhouses meet.

Le Youth takes the track in a frantic old school House direction, with a hint of his Disco roots. This ones a peak time crate filler to whip the crown into a frenzy. Cut-up vocals form the original are liberally unleashed on rough synths and an infectious piano hook, which the whole combination riding over a classic 90s House beat, shuffling hi-hats and all. The reMix builds and builds, creating a hyper energy until the squelchy solo finale.

[Audio] €urocrats’ ‘Black Hole Bass’

Deep warehouse vibes right here from the new single from AeroPop supergroup €urocrats, a collaboration between Vito Aeroplane and Dimitri From Paris. Getting twisted and dark, as opposed to their more Boogie laden previous single Follow Me, this single comes in two flavours, 606 and 909, and we bet you can imagine what to expect from either.

Whilst the 909 version is pure Acid tinged Chicago House madness, it;s the 606 version that caught or eye. Stripped of the occasionally harsh 909 beats, this version relies on a more synthetic feel courtesy of the 606 purcussion. Coupled with pulsating vintage synths and a voice of doom, this one is a hypnotic, Acid fuelled, jam for dark backrooms and seedy after-parties. Retro floorfilling goodness.

♫ €urocrats – Black Hole Bass (606 Version)

€urocrats’ Black Hole Bass is out 10th February.

♫ Pat Lok (Feat. Bear Mountain) – Same Hearts (Box Of Wolves reMix)

[Download] Pat Lok’s ‘Same Hearts’ reMixed by Box Of Wolves

Canadian producer Pat Lok and Bear Mountain’s Same Hearts has been out just over a week now and in that week has been getting a fair amount of play ‘round these parts. It’s set to see even more spins now on the form of of the brand new reMix from our own Chilly Disco don Box Of Wolves, Stay tuned for more Box Of Wolves news and we announce his new single in the coming days.

In the meantime he’s whipped up a jackin’ House tune with this track. It’s got a nice retro swing to it courtesy of some thick synth stabs running throughout that give the vocals a buoyant quality. All this resides upon a deep bassline constructed from pulsating and echoing synths. It’s as atmospheric as it is dancefloor friendly. Perfect for that Deep House portion of the night. A true meeting of talents.

Pat Lok’s Same Hearts is out now on ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’.

[Audio] Nonono’s ‘Hungry Eyes’

This tune from Sweedish trio Nonono has been generating a fair amount of hype over the past few days. It’s not hard to see why, it’s comfortable Pop but it has an amazing personality of it’s own. Scandinavian to the core, but with a very American IndiePop feel, and that’s pretty much everything new music blogs seem to look for these days. Strap in for some rousing piano Pop.

It’s hard not to love Hungry Eyes. It’s got so much character held within it’s rolling drums and hammering piano that it’s very easy to be drawn into it’s world and carried along without thinking. Vocalist Stina Wappling’s quintessentially Scandinavian vocal style (something that’s always welcome) give the track it’s emotional depth as she passionately delivers her narrative. Like a tribal version of ScaniPop, Hungry Eyes is the precursor to an apparently beat orientated album.

[Download] Tobtok’s ‘Savanna’

Young Swedish producer Tobtok’s has been cancer free for one year. Which is about as awesome news as you can get. Our lives have been touched by Cancer recently, and frankly, it’s a fucker; so we’re dead pleased for Tobtok. And what better way for the man to celebrate than with a brand new tune. Optimistic Topical vibes ensue.

And it is an optimistic tune. A full-on Island Disco belter without a care in the world. Layer up high with wicked Disco licks, lush synths and breezy guitar, Savanna eases you into it’s groove before hitting you with a big, uplifting horn section. This one brings together the vintage and modern in a track that will carry you away to warmer climates and summery good times. The hint of Toto-esque Africa vibe in the background is just the final sweetener that turns the track into a Disco masterwork.
