Yelle reMixed by Cut Slack

We’ve been keeping our eyes on Cut Slack for the last couple of months, we definitely think this Portuguese producer is going to be giving us some awesome tunes in 2012.

He’s easing us into it with this new reMix of the awesome Yelle’s ‘Comme Un Enfant’, where he’s got a perfect grasp of the groove of the track and works it to his advantage with heaps of funk bass and big retro chords. We’re keeping our eyes on Cut Slack, now you know you should be too, he’s going to be a Nu-Disco name in the coming year.

‘Comme Un Enfant’ is taken from the ‘Safari Disco Club’ album, out now.

Binalog Frequency’s new track

Binalog Frequency

Some dark future sounds and frantic B-Boy beats right now from Binalog Frequency.

His new tune, ‘Neon Funk’ is a rapid fire slice of Sci-Fi Electro. Old School beats underpin ever evolving and intertwining arpeggios and lush pads. A meticulously programmed and produced track who’s robotic rhythms and Vangelis atmosphere also makes me think of early Warp Records stuff, Bleep House, but with more IDM style beats. great stuff!

Futurecop! said they had something pretty special in the pipeline, and they weren’t kidding.

Unfortunately the actual movie doesn’t exist, but the soundtrack will more that keep us happy.

Little Boots’ ‘I Wish’

Little-Boots

More new Little Boots! Débuting on Radio 1 last week this track from her forthcoming new album see her teaming up with Electro-House producer Michael Woods.

‘I Wish’ is probably the closest thing to a ‘bang0r’ that Boots has ever done. this is a track aimed purely at peak time, big room dancefloors rather than the charts.  Pumping Ibiza stings and Victoria’s anthemic sing-along chorus  in combination make this a sure fire summer hit for 2012/ Rousing and uplifting, with just the slightest hint of melancholy to the vocals, this is one to drop when the floor is full.

Tesla Boy’s new tune

tesla boy

Russia’s greatest ElectroPop export Tesla Boy have dropped a new track, and a taste of what to expect from them in 2012.

‘Waste My Body’ combines that classic smooth Tesla Boy sound with a touch more aggression. The bass, in particular, has more balls to it whist the chorus is surprisingly full-on Pop for these guys, which a nice ‘80’s touch. You can see where the band is heading, funnelling retro Pop and Nu-Disco in to one energetic output. We’re definitely looking forward to Tesla Boy’s new album.

Overthrill’s ‘Disco Music’

overthrill

German dancefloor rocker Overthrill has dropped something a bit special to keep you moving during the holidays.

‘Disco Music’, pull in DNA from the high points of Daft Punk and Justice’s careers and wraps them up in Overthrill’s own unique take on Electro and Nu-Disco. Driven by a juggernaut funk bassline and sweet melodic vocoding ‘Disco Music’ maybe the spiritual successor to ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’ but Overthrill has created a tune to keep the dancefloor jumping on it’s own merit.

Jensen Sportag reMixes Madi Diaz

madidiaz

Jensen Sportag have served up a sweet X-Mas gift in the form of a deep DiscoPop reMix of Nashville singer/songwriter duo Madi Diaz’s ‘Trust Fall’.

Jensen Sportag’s reMix is so smooth it is borderline Yacht. Layering some nice thick Moog Funk for the bass with some serious maritime chord work and wicked Disco licks seems to morph the track into a classy mid-‘80’s yuppie dancefloor number. This is a track for smokey city nights or sunsets on deck. I’ll take either really, it’s fine.
