Mr. Mæn reMixes Publicist

Mr. Mæn, who has wowed us with many of his recent reMixes, has turned his attention to Publicist’s ‘Come To My Senses’ from his recent Discotexas EP ‘Professional Show Business Pt.1′.

Mr. Mæn builds a kind of machine Funk thoroughout the track with relentless industrial sounding ethnic percussion playing nicely against the groove of the bassline and the vocoded vocals. Mæn has created a deep hypnotic peice here for you to sink into.

‘Professional Show Business Pt.1′ is out now on Discotexas.

Goin’ Old School: Krush – House Arrest

One of my favourite tracks of all time, from 1987 Krush’s ‘House Arrest’. The bassline, the keys, Ruth Joy’s floaty vocals work together so well. One of a handful of tracks that really broke the UK house scene. Such memories.

Lazydisco’s ‘More Tigers’

Lazydisco is Fred Oliveira from Rockets, and he’s about to drop a brand new single on Discotexas.

‘More Tigers’ is an incredibly summery slice of quite laidback Disco which kinda’ works on three layers. There’s a layer of nice 80’s chords for that nostalgic feelgood factor, them some cosmic synth work which create a chilled vibe toped of with some 90’s House piano which nicely keeps the energy going. That’s a recipe for success! reMixes come courtesy of a whole host of awesome artists such as In Flagranti, The C90s, Xinobi, Mirror People, MODE and this track from Coupons who go deep and progressive on the tune with a hypnotic and slightly oriental flavour.

♫ Lazydisco – More Tigers (Coupons reMix)

‘More tigers’ is out next week.

Teenage Bad Girl’s ‘Backwash’

Paris duo Teenage Bad Girl’s combination of ElectroPop and abrasive Electro has always has a Rocky edge to it, but their new album boarders on straight-up ElectroRock at times.

There’s heavy use of Rock samples throughout, but that only adds to the melodic chaos that is ‘Backwash’. Powerful distorted analog synths run all the way through the album but aside from that it’s a record that flips from one style to another, regularly, and with relative ease. There’s the big ElectroRock we’ve already heard in the album’s first single ‘Keep Up With You’ and the vocoder and guitar mash-up of ‘The Wave’ which rubs up against some beautiful synthetic Electro tracks like ‘Hold Me Tight’ and ‘Fast Blood Delivery’, a pure 90’s rave tune in ‘Fright Night’ and the Chicago House of ‘Tonton Funk’. If you’re into upfront electronic dance music then there will be something for you to love in this album.

Personally I favour the more synthesizer based tracks on ‘Backwash’, check out my two favourites and revisit the single, ‘Keep Up With You’. The whole album can be streamed here.

♫ Teenage Bad Girl – Keep Up With You

♫ Teenage Bad Girl – Fast Blood Delivery

♫ Teenage Bad Girl – Hold Me Tight

Overthrill returns with new track

Finally! Overthrill is back in the game!

Oh how we’ve missed his massive cut-up chainsaw disco. His new track ‘Perfect Match’ he goes straight for the Electro jugular with more broken Disco than even the most steadfast Ed Banger fan could handle. It’s four minutes of killer bass and Disco samples fed through a blender and the funkiest thing I’ve heard this week so far!

4TrakZ – Love Zone

We haven’t heard from 4TrakZ in a while, but if this track is anything to go by he’s been using his time productively.

‘Love Zone (Ultra)’ sees the Lyon based producer getting some heavy Funk bass amongst his ChipTune inspired Electro. It’s a soaring slice of Electro with video game sensibilities that demands your attention.

Magnifik ‘Behaving Badly’

Australian producer Ashley Feraude A.K.A. Magnifik has just released his ‘Behaving Badly’ single and it’s backed up by some stellar reMixes.

The first of which, coincidentally, comes from awesome fellow Aussies, the Indie-Disco outfit Get Stellar, who we haven’t heard from in a while, who turn in a classy piece of synth-Funk fuelled Electro with a slightly 90’s edge to it. A proper dancefloor starter. Nightriders bring a deep Disco groove to the table with their mix, designed for chilled summer nights. Defiantly a reMix bundle worth investing in.

Coloureds’ new EP

Oxford based Disco terror duo Coloureds release their new EP, ‘Tom Hanks’ today.

This is the masked crusaders’ fifth release and continues their progression toward dropping increasingly dancefloor oriented tunes (as opposed to the being-smacked-in-the-face-with-a-sampler approach of their early works) bringing them more inline with an Ed Banger flavour sound. The title track is pure French Disco noise, a cut-up funk monster. Sure, it takes a drill to your forehead, bores a hole into your skull and pours the funk in with a funnel, but it’s funk nonetheless. Coloureds have managed to bring a straight-up groove to their tunes without loosing any of the distorted noise chaos that has become their trademark, and that has made their live shows something that must be experienced. Another standout of the EP is the awesomely titled ‘Wanna’ Come Back To My Room And Listen To Some SebastiAn?’, which kinda’ lives up to it’s name. Solid and relentless, I imagine if you did go back to their room and listen to some SebastiAn it would probably be some kind of fisheye lensed nightmare scenario.
