Hervé & Ronika: The reMixes

ronika

So, you may be enjoying the new single from Hervé, ‘How Can I Live Without You? (Make It Right)’, featuring out girl,  Madonna Of The Midlands™, Ronika. You may be enjoying it’s bass heave old school Rave vibe. But what if it’s just not bass heavy enough for you, if such a thing is even possible? Well, don’t worry yourself, Hervé has got you covered. The reMixes turn the bass heaviness up to 11.

Hervé sometime partner in crime Sinden is up first with a stomping tribal Rave mix that drops you into a deep hypnotic groove before smacking you in the face with that massive riff. Hervé, in his Death Rose Cult alter-ego, drops a truly massive reMix that straddles the line between rave and Dubstep by layering buzzsaw rough synth over a pumping beat. This is the one that’s gonna’ rip your face off on the dancefloor. Detboi serves up a future Garage mix complete with shuffling beats and warp bassline, not heard a full on Garage track in quite a while, Detboi delivers it flawlessly. These guys really need to stop being greedy with the bass or there will be no bass left for anyone else!

Fanny Games’ new single

Fanny Games

Out today is the new single from London-based Italian ElectroDisco nutjobs Fanny Games. LApo Frost and James Brivido are regularly tearing it up across the capital (including making some noise while I was trying to launch an album) and are now ready to unleash their theme song, ‘In The Club (On The Street)’ on an unsuspecting listening public.

Throw Electro-House, Nu-Disco, Italo and French Touch into a blender set to decimate and this is the results. A juggernaut of a tune driven by Vocoded chanting and chainsaw synths. I get that the vocoded vocals are saying “In The Club (On The Street)”, but it sounds a lot like “Intruder Alert” from ‘Talking Android Attack’, one of the first computer games with voice synthesization on the Dragon 32, which actually kidna’ adds to the cool. ‘In The Club (On The Street)’ is a full-on dancefloor destroyer, and surprisingly melodic. reMix duties are covered by Luxar, who starts off with shuffling, fidgety ,beasts but soon warps the track into something more akin to Cosmic Disco with a weird, but funky, mixture of ‘90’s House elements and futuristic galactic voyages. Fanny Games live in a world of their own, if you decide to join them, and we suggest you do, tread carefully. No-one gets out of here alive.

The Presets are back!

Here on electronic rumors, like most reputable web music publication, don’t use teasers. We don’t use clips, we don’t use trailers and we don’t use excerpts. For obvious reasons. This is a pretty hard and fast rule, however there is probably about four artists in the world who could make us break that rule. The Presets are one of them. We love The Presets, it cannot be understated how much we love The Presets, the perfect combination of Pop, Electro-House and ElectroPunk and one of the best live bands in electronic music. For them, we break the rules.

So imagine our excitement when a cryptic email landed in the electronic rumors Inbox with nothing but a URL, youthintrouble.com and some flashing .gifs. The website loops a YouTube video that the Electro duo posted to their Facebook page mentioning they were working on album three. Get you ears around the pumping  electronic madness, all 40 seconds of it!

More details should be coming at the end of the month. Exciting times! Check out youthintrouble.com and keep an eye on the YouthInTrouble twitter account.

Brodinski’s ‘Nobody Rules The Streets’

Brodinski

OK, this track has been kicking around in out Inbox for the better part of a month now, we’ve been um’ing and ah’ing about whether to post it or not, but in trying to make the decision we’ve listened to it so much that we’re pretty hooked on it now. So we’re posting it. It’s like a self-fulfilling prophesy, the mere act of considering posting it results in a post. That, and the tracks is bizarrely badass.

So here’s Brodinski’s third release on his new Bromance imprint. The single is actually a double A-Side with Club Cheval’s ‘Now U Realise’, a proper dark Rave track on one side and Brodinski’s own ‘Nobody Rules The Streets’ on the other. ‘Streets’ features, again, Louisahhh!!! on vocals and, for a moody, gritty, Rave tune is surprisingly Poppy. Catchy and rabble rousing, in that way early ‘90’s Indie sometimes was, complete with police sirens, ‘Nobody Rules The Streets’, has got a bit of a Simian Mobile Disco circa ADSR vibe to it, which I think is why we like it so much.

Moonlight Matters’ ‘Come For Me’

Moonlight Matters

Wow, this week is just full of awesome late ‘80’s-esque tunes. This weeks definite highlight comes from Moonlight Matters (Seba from Villa)’s long, long awaited début single, released next month (or now on Beatport) on Kitsuné Music.

Moonlight Matters has been knocking out some of the best reMixes around for the last year or so, but despite some amazing work, we never, never, expected his début to blow us away like ‘Come For Me’ did. The EP’s title track features Gustaph from Hercules And Love Affair and is one of the biggest power Pop tracks you will hear in a while. Combining a slight bit of his Disco groove with that proper late ‘80’s sound that is starting to seep into dance music inbetween all the retro ‘80’s and ‘90’s sounding stuff. You know what I mean, epic stadium vocals, digital bass and those wonderful orchestral hits, and ‘Come For Me; has them all, and uses them perfectly. It’s a track with a tiny bit of melancholy to it, but mostly just makes you want to punch the air. Less Disco more PowerSoulPop was a brilliant move, Moonlight Matters works it perfectly. ‘Standing Up For Love’, brings down the tempo but keeps the same Electronic Soul feel with Starving Yet Full providing an impassioned vocal in a track that features the smoothest of smooth sax solos. One again Seba draws from Pop from the tail end of the ‘80’s and sucks up all the best elements for a pure TOTP experience. The final original track on the EP is ‘Rain Dance’, a lush, atmospheric, dance track. A bit tribal, this is the track that brings Moonlight Matters a bit more into the realm of ‘90’s dance, powered by crunchy stabs that play like the soundtrack to an action movie. The extended versions of the EP come with reMixes of the title track from Punks Jump Up (on the iTunes version), who deliver a twisted retro Acidic mix, Junior (on the Beatport version) ‘s glitchy Electro-House builder and Herr Styler (on the Juno version) with a deep, raw sounding, House mix with a hypnotic groove. For the title track alone it’s contender for single of the month.

New track from Digitalism

Digitalism

Announced a few weeks ago, the next act to take up the DJ-KICKS reins is German Electro legends Digitalism. And as is customary when releasing a DJ-KICKS mix there is a bunch of new tracks from the duo in there. The first of which ‘Simply Dead’ dropped on SoundCloud this morning.

Whist last year’s ‘I Love You Dude’ was a more melodic affair, slightly more anthemic, ‘Simply Dead’ gets back to the grinding Electro-House of old, but with a twist. Driven by B-Boy beats and dark ominous chords this track end up being more breakin’ than banger. The stuttered vocoded robot vocals just adding to the Old School Electro feel. Sure, there is some classic Justice-esque chainsaw synth riffs in there, but the majority of this track belongs down the underpass, spinning on it’s head on some Lino.

Danger’s ‘22h39’

danger

Whether leaks harm or help and artist in their promotion I open for debate, I can say that, whether harming or hurting, it probably fucks up their pre-planned release track somewhat. Over the weekend a new track from Outrun originator Danger leaked, which looks like it forced his hand to release it through official channels, so here it is.

Danger was one of the undisputed reigning champions of Electro in 2007, even now you can drop something like ‘11h30’ and the place will go apeshit, but other than trickles, and the occasional leak (usually ripped from a live set) EP’s are very few and far between, three in five years, and the last one was two years ago. So the release of ‘22h39’ sees a Danger that despite first appearances isn’t all that different from the Danger of old. His production were always measured and melodic and although the beat is more Disco than Electro-House, it’s still the haunting, driving, powerful Danger we remember.

Kool Bandits’ ‘Dancefloor Hold Up’

kool-bandits

Way back, last month, we posted a track by French outfit Kool Bandits, then called ‘I Want You’ the track has now been renamed ‘Dancefloor Hold Up’ and has been given the full vocal treatment for it’s single release.

The vocal is actually quite weird, really self-referential. It kinda’ works, but I’m torn as to which version I prefer, this or the Instrumental version. The vocal version is definitely more of a commercial party starter. The track itself, as we said last time, is unashamedly poppy with it’s hook, with a dirty bassline and a big euphoric riff. But the vocals are maybe just a tad too cheese laden and meandering for our tastes. That said though, it’s still a really good track, and the single is definitely worth picking up, if mainly for the Instrumental and it’s insanely catchy hook. The instrumental version is the standout track here, but this vocal version is definitely going to get some play over the summer.

Rave Me’s début EP

rave me

OK, fist up Rave Me is a terrible terrible name. Shudder. Sometimes I really don’t think producers care about how their music is presented to the public. I got sent Rave Me’s new EP from Keiz Beats, a label I trust, so I listened to it, if it had come form an unknown source, with a name like that, I would have probably passed it over.  Right, now I have got that out of my system, Rave Me is a 17 year old Ukrainian producer who is actually making some awesome tunes, so it’s a good job I did end up checking it out.

This insanely young producer is mashing up Electro-House and SynthWave into one powerful, noise and emotive dance monster, and with no releases recently from Danger, we kinda’ need someone doing this. His ‘Dance’ EP (this kid really isn’t good with names) kicks off with ‘Round’, a massive stomping Electro track that comes at you with chainsaw synths. This leads into the rest of the EP which contains a few, more Pop oriented, tracks. These tracks, like ‘With You’ are surprising beasts, starting you off with plumbing Electro then dropping a slick vocal on you. It makes for a weird combination, but the mixture of jackhammer stadium Electro and big anthemic vocals works incredibly well. Then out of nowhere Rave Me drops a track like ‘That Night’, a Ukrainian take on Chromeo’s Funk. Sure, the EP is a little rough around the edges, the production could be smoothed out a little, maybe mastered properly, and that name (oh that name!), but all-in-all this is a damn impressive, and mature, début from this youngster and one that it is definitely worth checking out.

Hervé and Ronika’s ‘How Can I Live Without You (Make It Right)’ video

Well, we’ve been hearing about this for a while now, both in person and on Twitter, but now we can feast our eyes on the video, and have our first listen to the full vocal version, of  Hervé and Ronika (ahem, Madonna Of The Midlands™)’s ‘’How Can I Live Without You (Make It Right)’.

Directed by Jack Lightfoot & Robin Mason at Blindeye Films, the clip features little Ron and little Hervé, and slightly less little Ron, but seems to be missing a big Hervé. Wassup with that?
