Acid Washed

Parisian mystery duo Acid Washed recently dropped their début EP ‘General Motors, Detroit, America’ and the title track is a crazy, random, acidic Disco track that is so way out there yet so brilliant at the same time. Love it when the beat kicks in!

Blackstrobe is just one of a few name contributing reMixes and they take the originals spacey arpeggio and force it to conform to their Nu-Disco banger!

The Juan MacLean Vs. Cut Copy!

When you get tow creative greats like DFA’s Electro main man The Juan MacLean and Aussie Indie-Electro powerhouse Cut Copy you know something special is going to result!

Cut Copy have tackled last year’s huge single ‘Happy House’ and give it a dark, brooding groove with some sweet old school piano action.

The ‘Happy House’ single can still be picked up along with ‘The Future Will Come’, which is a class album!

New datA single!

7th December sees the release of the second single from datA’s fantastic album ‘Skywriter’.

Following on from the massive ‘One In a Million’, ‘Electric Fever’ isn’t quite as poppy but it’s a Nu-Disco stormer that is guaranteed to fill floors. Parisian duo Acid Washed, amongst others, take on reMix duties here and smother the track in synth bass and cowbell goodness! Check the acid breakdown:

Two Door Cinema Club can talk!

I Can Talk’ by Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club was one of the highlights of Kitsuné Music’s Kitsuné Maison 8 compilation and yesterday saw the 12” release of the track.

For the Kitsuné release, reMixes are provided by French Horn Rebellion, Moulinex and these two here, by Golden Bug and Crystal Fighters.

I think Golden Bug’s is my favourite, I love the heavy analogy bass throughout and vocoded backing vocals. It’s a old school vocal Electro track guaranteed to make you move. Crystal Fighters’ mix, despite frantic percussion, is more chilled and intricate with a hint of dancefloor bass.

Boxon Records‘ latest signing, German duo Dyebox (last seen reMixing Zoot Woman) have recently dropped their début EP.

Titled ‘Catch The Looks’ it includes three original tunes and this reMix of the title track by lablemates Dilemn who turn in a bass heavy banger with a Nu-Disco vibe on top of the twitchiness that really suits the vocals.

Diplo reMixes Drop The Lime for B-LIVE

In retrospect, B-LIVE has sent a hell of a lot of good music our way this year. Much of that, in the latter part of the year, has been in the form of a whole heap of storming reMixes of Drop The Lime’s ‘Devil’s Eyes’

Saving the best for last, they are now unleashing this epic reMix by Major Lazer man and superstar producer Diplo. Frantic percussion underlies this summery, party, Electro banger with an exotic flavour. Rapid fire synth stabs and cut up vocals belie what is actually quite a chilled party track…it’s just a chilled party track that has the fever!

And have a go on Classixx’s brilliant disco reMix for good measure too:

B-LIVE’s next offering will be that Van She cover of ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper’, along with a reMix by Holy Ghost!!!. I may actually be salivating in anticipation!!!

Fan Death; another new video!

Fan Death are really pulling out all the stops in preparation for their forthcoming EP ‘A Coin In The Well’!

This is the second video taken from the EP, it’s a weird little story. Creepy, but fun.

We also received this reMix of the previous amazing track off the EP, Reunited’ by Ccenturiess in the electronic rumors inbox. It spaces things out a bit and piles on the Simmonds toms!

‘A Coin In The Well’ is due out January 4th 2010 (my birthday!):

Kids At The Bar evil up Ellie Goulding

The reMixes of Ellie Goulding’s ‘Under The Sheets’ are coming in thick and fast!

Kids At The Bar stopped by the electronic rumors inbox to share with us their amazing take on the tune.

An aggressive and ominous lead line dominates the mix before giving way to some powerful warping bass making the tune 100% darker. If this is dropped at a club it will command you to dance!

‘Under The Sheets’ is out now on.

Fear Of Tigers

December 1st is a date for your diary, as on that day London’s Fear Of Tigers is dropping his new album…for free!

The album, ‘Cossus Snufsigalonica’, will be 10 tracks of, we can expect, original, retro-flavoured, Electro-House that you can sample with this tune ‘The Adventures Of Pippi Longstrump’. It’s a full on, driving, uplifting slice of Pop-Electro-House with a kinda’ end-of-the-movie finale vibe to it.

Diamond Cut step up to the reMix plate and deliver a chilled, spacey, synth rework.
