I do like a bit of Gorillaz when the mood takes me and I pretty much love Yuksek’s music whenever/wherever so this reMix combination is a tasty deal!
It doesn’t disappoint. Yuksek brings quite a mid-tempo Electro flavour, it’s like a chilled out version of one of his bangers complete with the customary Yuksek drops and builds.

The single is already available digitally.
Following hot on the heels of Tesla Boy comes Russia’s latest Dreamwave hope, Volta Cab.
Owing just as much to Sci-Fi as it does to the 80’s, VC’s music is a fluid combination of retro electronics, Nu-Disco, ElectroPop and Chiptune. ‘Clarissa’ is a analog bass laden tune with sweet vocodered vocals that is so smooth it practically melts your speakers. ‘Stay With You’ is more of a driving number with 80’s rock samples throughout while ‘We Are Marsians’ is more typical Dreamwave fare but show the Volta Club really is top of his game.

Sitting somewhere between Fear Of Tigers and Kavinsky, you can check some more of Volta Cab’s stuff on his MySpace.
Montreal ElectroPop duo AXXE apparently came together out of a dislike for each other and despite living in close quarters utilise technology to undertake their songwriting and production remotely!
Whether that’s just spin or not, the music stands on it’s own merits. Their recently released double A-side ‘Hard Candy’/’S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. Night’ drops two slices of expertly crafted DiscoPop that just ooze decadence. the tracks have been given the reMix treatment by two pretty well known Electro up-and-comers, Worship and Neon Workout. I’ve loved Worship’s previous reMixes and her the Swiss producer ramps up the AutoTune to create an edge Nu-Disco vibe. Neon Workout takes it straight to the dancefloor with electro tom and handclap craziness!

Japan based Electro heroes 80kidz ‘ave only gone and teamed up with Indie-Electro goddess Lovefoxxx of CSS, ain’t they!
Sounds like a match made in heaven, right? Well the track is everything you’d hope it would be. It’s a huge, dirty juggernaut that manages to be noisy and catchy all at the same time. The combination of 80kidz chainsaw Synths and Lovefoxxx’s madness is sheer genius.

I think I need a lie down!
Massive Attack’s latest album ‘Heligoland’ was a superb return to form for the Bristol legends and the whispered ‘Paradise Circus’ was one of the chilled highlights, it’s slow build into a swelling masterpiece just carries you on it’s journey.
Brazilian deep Electronica producer Gui Boratto drops the first official reMix of the track and strips it back to beats, bass and piano which wrap around Hope Sandova’s husky vocals.

As the flood of reMix of Ellie Goulding’s excellent ‘Starry Eyed’ continues, one we have been particularly looking forward to is this one from Monsieur Adi.
Rome’s Adi has produced some fine reMixes of late and this complete recreation of Ellie’s track is the best I’ve heard from him. He rebuilds the track from the ground up into a totally different song, a huge orchestral, emotive, electro journey!

Ellie’s ‘Starry Eyed’ is released properly on 22nd February.
Mystery men Monarchy have been busy with some high profile reMixes of late and we are glad to report that their track ‘Gold In The Fire’, which has been hyped for a while now, is finally getting an official release thanks to Neon Gold.
We Have Band, Flak Attack and Hidden Cat chip in with the reMix work that spans WHB’s almost tribal chilled Electro, Flak Attack’s pure dance jam and Hidden Cat’s psychedelic space Disco trip.

We’ve waited with baited breath for the most exiting (to us at least) reMix from the forthcoming Shy Child single ‘Disconnected’. Now the wait is over.
Anoraak’s take on the tune is every bit as good as we had hoped. The meeting of Shy Child and Anoraak is just a clash of two of our favourite artists. The reMix is mostly a smooth Dreamwave epic give a slight edge by arpeggiated digital synth bass that slowly builds to a rockin’ crescendo.

‘Disconnected’ is out soon followed by the album ‘Liquid Love’ on 15th March on Wall Of Sound
The track ‘What You Need’ (or at least the demo version of it) by Raw Man’s project, Priors, has been knocking ‘round the internet for a few months now. Finally it is getting a full reMix package release courtesy of Eye Industries and the smooth Nu-Disco ElectroPop jam some pretty sweet reworkings.
Grum just goes from strength to strength. His reMix here is more chilled than his usual production but it shows a laidback side to his work and is a solid slick of 80’s-esq electronic Funk. Hey Champ!’s take on the tune is more of a cut-up roller-Disco monster. Finally Allen Walker gives us the most straight-up dancefloor version
