The week in Bangers: 12:04:09

The week in Bangers: While electronic rumors isn’t strictly an Electro-House blog, we do cover a lot of Electro-House that crosses over in to our realm. So many good club tunes and reMixes surface each week we can’t (and wouldn’t) cover them all, so this is a round up of some of the best from the week that we didn’t have time to dedicate individual posts to…

Graffiti3

What’s in the bag this week? Well, we start off with Empire Of The Sun’s almighty ‘Walking On A Dream’ as reMixed by The Bloody Sisters and Database & Bonde Do Role’s ‘Miami’, the MMMathias version. The much hyped Polly Scattergood gets a working over by New York Disco heroes The Golden Filter and the clash of Tiga and Mr. Oizo is exactly as you’d expect!. Noisy SynthPopster Avian X is morphed into an Electro Banger by Kolt 13 and we have the dream pairing of FischerSpooner and D.I.M.. New Canadian retro synth act FM Attack build things up for us to be left with the almighty ‘We Are You Friends’ by Justice Vs. Simian as reMixed by The Disco Villains.

Circlesquare reMiexd by Valarie squad!

Circlesquare

Valerie crew staples Russ Chimes and Anoraak have got together to gang up on ‘Dancers’, the last single from Canadian electronica solo act Circlesquare.

The mighty reMix team-up takes Circlesquare’s post-punk, experimental, SynthPop by the hand and leads it straight to the dancefloor of an 80’s Disco.

Those Valerie guys just keep knocking them out of the park!

TMDP

TMDP are coming straight outta’ Toronto with some superbly crafted Nu-Disco that is seriously easy on the ears.

Jeffrey Addison and Gavin Rough have been at this for around ten years, and it shows. These are two guys who have honed their studio skills. Have a listen to these two tracks off their début, self titled, album and you’ll get warm basses, soaring leads, and smooth guitar riffs that will infect your brain for days.

Both these tunes have a real evolving quality, both are Disco journeys:

♫ TMDP – Montage (zShare) (MediaFire)

TMPD recently released the ‘TMDP’ album on YYZ Records.

Cagedbaby: Forced

Cagedbaby

Cagedbaby will be dropping his new single at the end of this month and its a rockin’ ElectroPop anthem full of screaming synths and impassioned stadium vocals.

Check out these two reMixes by Don Diablo and Foamo. Everything Don Diablo touches these days seems to turn to retro Electro-House gold and, as expected, here he delivers a smooth Electro-House jam with an 80’s flavour. In contrast, Foamo turns the track into a giant warp bass banger.

♫ Cagedbaby – Forced (Foamo reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Head on over to Cagedbaby’s MySpace to hear the original.

‘Forced’ is released April 26th on Southern Fried Records.

4TrakZ

We’ve got some fresh, fresh, French Electro for you today in the form of 4TrakZ.

Hailing from Lyon, 4TrakZ mixes up the French Electro-House sound with a whole heap if digital slap bass. Like Justice with an injection of 80’s funk, this guy sidechains, but with soul.

We’ve got two tracks for you here, ‘Celebrated’ is a slap bass monster, it carries the track underneath an Ed Banger-esq Electro stop-starter, whilst ‘Love Zone’ is a straight up Nu-Disco floorfiller. Give them a listen and head on over to 4TrakZ’s Myspace for more.

Man, that bass is addictive!

♫ 4TrakZ – Love Zone (zShare) (MediaFire)

And you gotta’ check out this dirty Electro-House reMix of Hall & Oats’ ‘She’s A Maniac’! It’s pure genius!

♫ Hall & Oates – She’s A Maniac (4trakZ reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

4TrakZ is gearing up for his début EP, ‘Le Frère Lumière (Episode 1)’, which will be released mid-May on Electrolarge.

Until then, show him some MySpace love here:

New Pégase tracks

Pegase

Pégase, side project of Raphaël (the lead singer of Minitel Rose), have dropped a couple of new demos.

As with everything that comes out of the Valerie collective this is quality retro Electro stuff. More upbeat than Pégase’s earlier, spaced-out, tunes these two are full-on ElectroPop goodness. ‘Wherever You Are’ is verging on Electro-Rock.

♫ Pégase – I Try To Be You (Demo.) (zShare) (MediaFire)

♫ Pégase – Wherever You Are (Demo.) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Pégase’s first proper releases are really something to look forward to, until then show the French man some MySpace love!

Little Boots Vs. The Golden Filter

LittleBoots6

20 Days without a new Little Boots track…what’s up with that?

Luckily all is forgiven as this new reMix comes from the amazing New Your deep Disco merchants The Golden Filter who take Boots’ live favourite (and now confirmed next single) ‘New In Town’ and lead it down dark, dirty Disco, alleyways.

There really is “no one safe in these streets!”

Tesla Boy

TeslaBoy

Tesla Boy hail from Moscow and make some sweet Vocal Electro-House with a strong ElectroPop strain running through it.

This isn’t 80’s influenced SynthPop, this is 80’s SynthPop, just accidently made in the wrong century. Fantastic FM synth leadlines layer over warm analog bass and drums to compliment Anton Sevidov’s smooth soul vocals.

Tesla Boy are currently being championed by the Valerie crew, which isn’t surprising as they have impeccable taste and Tesla Boy would fit in well in their stable.

♫ Tesla Boy – Spirit Of The Night (zShare) (MediaFire)

♫ Tesla Boy – Neon Love (zShare) (MediaFire)

Tesla Boy have just released their very limited edition self-titled EP, check it out on their MySpace page.

It’s a week or so old now but the Acid Girls remix of Mini Viva’s ‘I Left My heart In Tokyo’ is still doin’ it, as is FC Kahuna’s work on Noah And The Whale. Youth’s reMix of Elke’s ‘Blue Dream Lover’ is a smooth dancefloor groover in contrast to Esser & A1 Bassline’s noisy Electro/Dubstep flavoured jam. Moving into a more ElectroPop arena is Cinemax with ‘Smudged’, as reMixed be Melee Beats. Bringing things crashing back to the dancefloor is Bit Funk’s take on vitaminsforyou and this weeks big hype magnet, Warp 1.9 by The Bloody Beetroots teaming up with Steve Aoki to seriously rock the place. Finally Curtis Vodka gets made over, by electronic rumors favourites DMX Krew, into a 1988 Acid House trip.
