More Barretso for you

Barretso02

A couple of weeks ago we introduced you to Barretso, Tuff Em Up’ Records Chilean Dreamwave/ElectroPop/Electro-House hybrid man.

As it draws ever close to the release of his début EP we can give you a feel for the release with the title track ‘Bright City Lights’, a track with a real Nu-Disco/SynthPop mashup feel. Still rocking the perfectly blended mix the smooth vocals just glide over the night time arpeggios. Kolt13 steps up for reMix duties and lets the synths fly and seriously Electro Funks shit up!

Edwin Van Cleef reMixes Vicknoise

Vicknoise

Spanish club producer Vicknoise has just dropped a new EP titled ‘Get Away’. The EP contains the original, a reMix from Shelby Grey and this storming mix from Dreamwave hero Edwin Van Cleef.

In a seriously soaring reMix Edwin lets rip with spaced out leads flying all over the place and one of the nicest analog rhythm lines I have heard in a while, not quite Acidic, but on the way there.

Russ Chimes Vs. Ellie Goulding

EllieGoulding03

I was gonna’ post this last night but I was so tired when I got in. This morning though, it’s all over the Blogosphere! And well deserved attention too!

Débuting over at Neon Gold’s blog this match of Ellie Goulding and Russ Chimes really is a match made in heaven, rivalling even his, frankly amazing, reMix of Marina And The Diamonds’ ‘Mowgli’s Road’.

Tackling ‘Starry Eyed’ is no mean feat, it’s a genius song to begin with and Russ achieves the impossible by giving it more energy and more epicness! Y’all know Russ’ style by now, well imagine his particular band of French House/Dreamwave/Nu-Disco turned up to 11 with the huge sing-along ‘Starry Eyed’ over the top, it really is that good!

OMG! The piano breakdown and kick back in! Shit, man, I got goosebumps!

♫ Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed (Russ Chimes reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Starry Eyed’ will be released on 22nd February with reMixes from Penguin Prison, Jakwob & Monsieur Adi, followed by Ellie’s album ‘Lights’ on 1st March.

Demo track from Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy Soundtrack?

This broke over at the Daft World fansite, apparently this is a leaked demo of one of the tracks from Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy soundtrack:

♫ Daft Punk – Fragile (Demo.) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Real? We don’t know. It does sound like what you’d expect a Daft Punk Tron soundtrack to sound like. Whatever it is, fake or not, it’s actually pretty good and if it is from the soundtrack then it’s probably even better in the context of whatever scene it accompanies.

What do you think?

–UPDATE–: Thomas Bangalter has confirmed it’s a fake. Hardly surprising really, I doubt we’ll hear any of the soundtrack until it come’s out. Still think it’s a cool little piece of music though!

New Danger EP teaser video

We gave you the low down on Danger’s next EP right here, the time is nearly upon us when the Electro-House master shows everyone just how it’s done!

He’s dropped another new little teaser video, again with the oh-so-cool 16-bit stylee graphics. I would love him to do a mini-movie in this style, maybe when (if) he releases a full length album he will!

Side Scrolling FTW!

Danger’s 3rd EP, ‘09/17 2007’, will be released on 25th January an vinyl and 1st February digitally.

Jacques L. Dorsey

JacquesLDorsey

Dug up by the Valerie crew’s blog is this upcoming French producer Jacques L. Dorsey. A Man of mystery with a brand new MySpace the word on the street is that he has some involvement in Daft Punk’s soundtrack for the forthcoming Tron sequel, Tron Legacy.

He’s got that 80’s nightdrive vibe down pat with this mid-tempo synth jam. Steady bass, Simmons toms a lead line to ride through the city streets!

All I need now is a Ferrari, something to brood about and a time machine! Go hit up JLD’s MySpace!

Monarchy Vs. Marina

MarinaAndTheDiamonds04

Well, we kinda’ expected a flood of reMixes of Marina And The Diamonds forthcoming single, ‘Hollywood’, and y’know what? that’s no bad thing. Especially when they are of the standard set by Monarchy here!

I’m loving the heavily modulated synth bass, it’s got a really retro, really ‘harsh & warm at the same time’ tone. When the song kicks in proper it takes on a different flavour, all arpeggiated basslines and syncopated leads. Actually, it sounds like a heavily sidechained 80’s TV theme song!

Keep ‘em coming!

♫ Marina And The Diamonds – Hollywood (Monarchy Gliese reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Hollywood’ is released 1st February 1st followed by Marina’s début album, ‘The Family Jewels’, which drops on 15th February.

Cutting Crew just died in Drop The Lime’s arms!

CuttingCrew

So, what happens when you mix prolific Electro artist and reMixer Drop The Lime with Cutting Crew’s 80’s power balled ‘(I Just) Dies In Your Arms)?

This does:

♫ Cutting Crew – (I Just) Died In Your Arms (Drop The Lime reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

All cut up vocals and warp bass, it’s got a real Breakdance feel but has an appropriately huge breakdown!

It’s getting late, I don’t think I can cope! 😉

Dragonette Vs. Arithmatix! (Michael Di Francesco of Van She)

Dragonette03

Indie-electro darlings Dragonette have roped in the talents of Michael Di Francesco of Van She fame under the alias of Arithmatix! for a pumping Nu-Disco killer remix.

Loaded with Italo influences and a Disco groove this reMix is gonna’ ram the dancefloors!

♫ Dragonette – Pick Up The Phone (Arithmatix! Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

I’m insanely jealous of those living in the US right now as Dragonette are touring the states alongside Little Boots and Fan Death. Now that’s gonna’ be a hell of a night out!

Jupiter reMixes Two Door Cinema Club’s new single

TwoDoorCinemaClub02

Man, I absolutely adore Jupiter’s reMix of CHEW LiPS ‘Salt Air’, it made number three in electronic rumors’ top 20 songs of 2009 so I was all up in this reMix of Two Door Cinema Club’s brilliant new single ‘Undercover Martyn’.

Jupiter brings the perfect Electro Disco flavour to the track. Digital slap bass, distorted analog synths and leads that fly out of the tune are all present and correct. Jupiter seems to be able to do no reMix wrong!

♫ Two Door Cinema Club – Undercover Martyn (Jupiter reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Undercover Martyn’ is out shortly on Kitsuné Music.
