Moullinex reMixes Karin Park

Karin Park png

Moullinex’s latest awesome Disco workout is a reMix of Swedish singer/songwriter and synth fiddler Karin Park’s ‘Fryngies’.

It;s the second single from her forthcoming new album ‘High Wire Poetry’ and Moullinex goes all out to wash the icy, Dubby, ElectroPop with a low-down groove. You wouldn’t have immediately though that the chilly, razor sharp synths of the original could be given such a warm Tropical make-over but Moullinex brings in a Funking bassline, a shuffling beat and some chiming synths and take Karin to the beach, whether she likes it or not!

Timo Juuti & Hector 87’s new EP

Timojuutihector

Here’s the latest release from Italian label La Valigetta to get you in the mood for the weekend. Timo Juuti & Hector 87 provide some truly infections tunes for their ‘Woo Chicks & Disco Wobbelz’ EP.

‘Disco Wobbels’ took me completely by surprise, we get sent a lot of mediocre Electro-House and Nu-Disco, it takes a lot for something we’ve never heard of to grab our attention, but ‘Disco Wobbelz’ did, it’s got a load of elements we’re starting to tire of, but it’s so well done, so funky, so blissed out you can help but get really into it. It’s a track that does a fantastic job of revitalising something that was in need of it. ‘Woo Chicks’ falls more into the Funky cut-up Nu-Disco camp and is a big peak time tune. The EP is crammed full of more originals and reMixes including this cut from Ghosts Of Venice, who bring some of his smooth grooves to ‘Woo Chicks’ for a more intimate version.

‘Woo Chicks & Disco Wobbelz’ is out 5th March.

Lancelot’s ‘We Can Dance’

lancelot

Yesterday saw the release of Binary’s newest family member, Lancelot,’s début EP, ‘We Can Dance’. It may only be February, but one listen to this EP and you’ll have the shades and shorts on in no time, it’s summer Disco gold.

We’ve already covered the first track on the EP, ‘Spoken Word’, a slick Disco-House tune with some amazing melodies and flourishes that still make it a stand out track. The EP’s lead tune is the titular ‘We Can Dance’, is more retro synth Funk led Disco but with a nice vocal twist. The twist being that is has vocals. The vocal element almost turn this track into a Nu-Disco anthem, if such a thing is possible. It;s definitely a good choice to lead the EP with, this track could have people singing all summer. Remixes of ‘We Can Dance’ are supplied by, amongst others, Binary boys, Fabian and Goldroom, two of our favourite producers around. Goldroom’s mix is deep and slick. A visceral groove with a Tropical sheen and an infectious lead line. Fabian takes things to a more robotic Disco place, his mastery of multi-layered Electro and eclectic influences shining through. that’s not all that’s on the EP, there’s more originals and more reMixes, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Justin Faust & Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver

justin-faust

Justin Faust has been a long time staple here at electronic rumors, while Finnish Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver have been featured a few time but are relatively new favourites of ours. Put them together and you have one hell of a Discotexas dream team.

Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver’s reMix of Justin Faust’s ‘High Hopes’ was released today for free in celebration of both parties recent, very well received, EPs. JL & JO’s mix of Mr. Faust’s ‘High Hopes’, originally featured on his ‘Girl Talk’ EP of last year, is a shockingly good exercise in fresh Nu-Disco built on retro sounds. It’s got a massive lead line, a serious Disco bassline, popping electro Toms and a wicked little guitar riff to keep things on the up. Pure gold. As we mentioned a couple of days ago, Discotexas are one of the few labels that so consistently release awesome material that you can always bank on the name to deliver the goods.

Justin Faust’s ‘Girl Tal’ EP is out now, as is Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver’s ‘Diamonda’, both on Discotexas.

Baron Von Luxxury’s ‘The Last Seduction’

Baron Von Luxxury

Blake Robin A.K.A. Baron Von Luxxury has been creeping around, injecting classic sounding tracks and reMixes into out consciousness for a while now and this week saw the release of his new album, ‘The Last Seduction’. Be warned, it’s ElectroPop gold!

The album seems like, I don’t mind saying, the perfect meeting of Nu-Disco and ‘80’s SynthPop, from the opening track, the Moroder stylings of ‘The Lovely Theresa’, it’s all cosmic Disco grooves and big ‘80’s choruses. there is something so addictive in the Baron’s mastery of both Funky dancefloor grooves and what can only be described as big, classic, Pop hooks. The album ranges from The Human League-esque straight-up SynthPop such as ‘Alice Underground’ to floor shaking Disco groovers like the title track. He’s roped in some help too Keenhouse contributes synth work and production here and there and returning the favour for his reMix of ‘Meddle’ Little Boots shows up on ‘That Disco Beat’, a big DiscoPop epic. To be honest I can imagine any readers of this site that I wouldn’t recommend this album to!

Shit Hot Soundsystem edits Junior

junior

British DJ Shit Hot Soundsystem shows us how edits should be done with his dancefloor rework of Junior’ ‘Mamma Used To Say’.

First off, it’s an inspired choice of track to edit, just on track choice alone SHS has already got the dancefloor in the palm of his hand, by layering the big beats and squelchy cosmic synths. Shit Hot Soundsystem brings the best bits of the original and makes the work harder than they’ve ever worked before.

The Tapeaters’ new single

The Tapeaters

One of our favourite Russian ElectroPop acts, The Tapeaters, have just unleashed a brand new single, not only new, but also free! Are you ready for summery retro Pop?

‘Waiting For A Sign’ is pure ‘80’s Pop, of the smooth variety. The kind quaffed haired young dudes in flecked suit jackets would perform on Top Of The Pops around the middle of the decade. It’s a fun, catchy tune with enough groove to get you moving on the dancefloor and enough crooned vocals to be radio friendly. The ‘Luncay Mix’ keeps the ‘80’s feel but chunks up the synths a big, it’s a bit rougher, a bit thicker with a lovely analog lead line. Poetic Disorders’ reMix is euphoric SynthPop, with a rugged synth bassline and a hands-in-the-air House arpeggio. The EP plays out on the Herzinberg mix, which leaves you with a slice of Electro Funk, this is the one on the EP with that space Disco groove we are so tuned into. The reMix is spiced up with some nice Dubby qualities that give it an unusual edge. ‘Waiting For A Sign’ is such a quality EP to be giving away for free, we’ll have to put The Tapeaters on our X-Mas card list.
