Mighty Mouse’s new album

This coming week sees UK Disco-heads Mighty Mouse release their début artist album.

Titles ‘Song With No Words’ the album consists of ten ‘Movements’ ranging electronic Lounge Jazz to Cosmic Disco to pure smooth Funk. Meticulously crafted and staggeringly well produced the album is more of a journey through analog grooves, flowing from one track to the next, than ten straight songs and manages to sound almost cinematic at times.

Check out ‘Movement 5’, one of the jazzier tracks on the record, but who doesn’t like a little jazz in their lives every now and then?

♫ Mighty Mouse – Movement 5 (Radio Edit)

‘Song With No Words’ is released 6th December on History/Disco Circus Records.

Douze – We Got The Love

‘We Got The Love’ is the latest track from Frenchman Arnault Douze Esteve A.K.A. Douze.

A protégé of Kris Menace and collaborator of the one-and-only Alan Braxe, Douze creates an amazing amalgamation of French-Touch, Disco, ElectroPop and talk box Funk. This is the smoothest slice of Disco that has landed on the electronic rumors desk in a while and just when you’re getting into the groove with the body moving bassline and lush pads the track hits you with a devastating solo! Awesome stuff.

♫ Douze – We Got The Love

Douze’s EP, ‘Doxology’, is out 6th December on Work It Baby.

Fare Soldi reMixes Duran Duran’s Rio

Italian masters of all things crazy Italo Fare Soldi have got their funky hands on Duran Duran’s ‘Rio’. This can only end well (or badly, depending on your position).

Spotlighting the tune’s mental bassline over a 909 beat whist dropping in bits of the song over the top is the path to true Italo enlightenment. Fare Soldi always manage to keep thing fresh and he they do a spot-on job or working the retro and the contemporary into a dancefloor slaying package.

Fare Soldi have just dropped their ‘Vigorilla’ EP, check it out:

Rimer London’s new single

It’s been a while since we last wrote about the mastermind behind Dutch ElectroPoppers Le Le Rimeroni Vumani A.K.A. Rimer London.

The man is following up last years solo EP ‘Innercity’ with a new album in the coming months preceded by this single we have right here. ‘Squaring the Triangle’ is a deep analog Disco journey with extra 70’s synth cool. From it’s pulsing bassline to it’s piano backed lead line there’s no glossy 21st century production here, this is old school synthesizer funk that’s both refreshing and ace to listen to.

♫ Rimer London – Squaring The Triangle

‘Squaring The Triangle’ is set for release 21th October with reMixes from TWR72, Beesmunt and Awanto 3.

The Twelves reMix up Munk, right nice!

You gotta’ love a good old fashioned, salt-of-the-earth The Twelves reMix! It’s something you can rely on to be absolutely banging.

Munk is the subject of this latest rework, and his forthcoming new single ‘Violent Love’ (taken from his awesome ‘Mondo Vagabondo’ EP). The Twelves layer their Nu-Disco on thick, with a laidback, but dancey, groove with hints of dub and dancehall in the production and a slight 90’s house piano feel. It’s a full on combination but one that works so well you can’t help but move to it!

♫ Munk – Violent Love (The Twelves reMix)

Munk’s ‘Violent Love’ is released 12th November on Gomma.

Holy Ghost! reMix Mark Ronson & Boy George

I’ve got a bit of a love/hate relationship with Mark Ronson (And The Business INTL)’s new album ‘Record Collection’. Some of the tracks on there are amazing, ‘Band Bang Bang’ is one of my favourite songs of the year, but some of it is a bit dreary.

Anyway, the third single from the album is the Boy George featuring ‘Somebody To Love Me’ and Team Ronson have made the excellent decision to get super cool fellow NYC residents Holy Ghost! to reMix the track. They bring with them their unique brand of analog DIY Disco turning the track into a gritty discoball epic. Let the Garage Disco roll!
