Shit Hot SoundSystem’s new EP

Shit Hot SoundSystem

Nu-Disco producer Shit Hot SoundSystem has just dropped his new EP, ‘Music & Lights’, it’s four tracks of groove laden electronic goodness!

The EP kicks off with it’s lead track, ‘Gimp Disco’, a track that takes in both the Disco and the Cosmic in Cosmic Disco. Funky down to Earth riffs and hook trade blows with Sci-Fi synths. A hypnotic vibe keeps the masses in check while the track rolls out it’s undulating groove. ‘I Got Love is an old school ‘80’s Pop Moog Funk track that The Time would have been proud of with some lush synth bass and a huge vocal hook. Guaranteed to bring euphoria to the dancefloor. the EP rounds off with ‘Girls’ and ‘2getha’, two top notch Nu-Disco tunes with a summery beach style, ripe for being rocked at LA beach parties.

‘Music & Lights’ is out now.

Binalog Frequency with Medora & Songdreamer

binalog

A while back we wrote about Binalog Frequency’s science fiction breakin’ beats ‘Neon Funk’, now he’s used that track as a starting point for his version of Songdreamer and Medora’s ‘Be On Your Way’.

‘Be On Your Way’ is originally a collaboration between vocalist Songdreamer and hard CORPS’ Clive Pierce’s Medora project that Binalog has worded his Electro magic on. Keeping the Bleep House-esque ghetto bass of ‘Neon Funk’ and lairing it with Songdreamer’s’ vocals (which are slightly reminiscant of one of my favourite voices, Martina Topley-Bird’) makes for an interesting and involving mix. Soulful vocals and rapid fire robo beats? How can that be anything but awesome?

Softwar reMix Azari & III

Azari & III

This new reMix by Australian production duo Softwar of Azari & III’s ‘Into The Night’ is a deep, deep, deep, deep DiscoHousePop masterpiece.

Keeping in time with Azari & III’s ‘90’s vibe, Softwar apply the ethos to their synth Disco. Square ‘90’s House bass and keys dominate this mix, alongside some vintage 909 beats, for a moody and mysterious, late night groove. The prefect combination of nostalgic dance and a slightly edgy, enigmatic sound.

Clancy’s new tune

Clancy

Clancy’s releases are too few and far between. We presume that’s because he is crafting each tune to be as perfect or possible, that or he’s just really really busy. Either way it’s a shame as he’s easily one of the best Dreamwavey/Nu-Discoy producers around today.

His new tune, ‘Bringing You Joy’ is a like the sunset’s shimmering haze as it disappears over the horizon in musical form. Dreamlike and majestic, ‘Bringing You Joy’ washes over you with it’s huge, majestic, chords, Italo bassline and sparse beats. The big trick here, though, is the production, how the vocal samples blend into the track like waves rolling against a shore. A more chilled and introspective affair than we are used to from Clancy, and a less retro synth one too, but a welcome one nonetheless showing there is more than one string to Clancy’s bow.

Kids At Midnight’s new single

kids at midnight

Kids At Midnight’s long awaited début single for Vulture Music is released today, we spoke about how the anticipation for this release has killed us and gave you a listen to one of the reMixes yesterday, today you can wrap your ears around the lead track.

‘Let You Slide’ is a revelation. It’s not the full on DancePop track we was expecting, and I’m glad. Maybe we just got used to tracks featuring Jane but in the back out our minds we we’d assumed the single would be some big Nu-Disco-esque track. It isn’t, and that’s awesome ‘cos I’m utterly enamoured with that it actually is. So what is it? Well, and I’m sure no-one is going to thank me for saying this, the first thing that popped in my head was female-fronted-The-Postal-Service (which for me is rad, I loved The Postal Service). It’s less glitch but has a very similar tone to it. It feels personal and intimate. Led by toms and an organ it’s, musically, a gentle affair, concentrating on moving your heart rather than your feet, slowly layering and building as the intensity of Jane’s vocals increases. Jane’s vocals too, aren’t the big dance diva  power vox we’re used to, this a more introspective Jane and one who’s totally emotionally believable.  ‘No No Yeah Yeah’, on the flip side, is a more traditional SynthPop offering that I prefer to it’s reMix. It’s a nice meeting of elements of Bedroom Pop, Indie-Electro and LA Dreamwave in a package that is pretty unique. Less personal that ‘Let It Slide’, ‘No No Yeah Yeah’ is more geared toward summer good time, it;s a track for driving with the top down and makes a perfect complimentary track. ‘Let You Slide’/’No No Yeah Yeah’ is a stunning début, challenging expectations and creating something beautiful with it.

She’s The Queen & Robots With Rayguns

She’s The Queen

I’m predicting big things for She’s The Queen. Still riding high on the euphoria of being featured on ‘electronic rumors Volume 1’ the ElectroPop duo made the slightly confused decision to sign with a record label, that record label being the freshly formed electronic rumors, a decision they made under the advice of their manager, me, do you see where this is going? I’m not really their manager (they just bully me into doing that) I am, however, releasing their new single and some amazing reMixes, it’s gonna’ be huge, but more more on that in the coming months.

Right now check out our friend Lucas, A.K.A. Robots With Rayguns’, reMix of ‘Plead To The DJ’. He’s taken the track and crafted on of those tracks that leads a double life. On first glace it’s a big room, peak time dancefloor destroyer, complete with heavily cut-up and pitched vocals, real Ministry Of Sound stuff. But the track is actually deceptively laid back, the more you listed to it the more you realise it’s actually the prefect soundtrack to rollerblading on Venice Beach or [insert other summery activity here]. It’s that dreamy lead line that makes it, all lush synths played with flourish.

♫ She’s The Queen – Plead To The DJ (Robots With Rayguns reMix)

She’s The Queen self-titled début EP is out now.

Their new single is coming out when we’re ready, hold your horses!

Quasars’ new track

Quasars

Here’s a new tune from one of our favourite Russian SynthWave producers right now, Quasars.

Leading the way in the exploding Russian retro synth scene, Quasars had dropped so many good tunes lately and ‘Pong’ is no exception. After a rousing intro of building chords and shimmering lead synths the track take you on a journey through retro synth awesomeness. As big and sweeping as a SynthWave track should be, emotional in a way that you can really connect with but full of post-Italo dancefloor goodness too. Really nice build for the middle eight too!
