Le Crayon’s latest addition to his SoundCloud is a bit of power Disco with a bassline that is aimed squarely at getting the party started.
Beside the killer bass riff, which with rock you when it kicks in, the track has all the elements of a Nu-Disco floorfiller. Wicked Disco licks, majestic breakdowns and this distant sax that floats in and out of the tune and hooks your brain.

This week Alec Carlsson drops his new single for On The Fruit Records. ‘Royal Lives’ is a sweeping Nu-Disco floorfiller cock full of Disco strings and massive builds.
The reMix package includes work from Geisha Twins, The Phantom’s Revenge and The Alpha Snail. The highlight, though, is Clancy’s retro powerhouse mix. From the moment the digital bass kicks in this track is a treat., as it works it’s body shaking way around layers of sparkling arpeggios and just when your getting into the track this really sweet subtly lead jumps in after the breakdown to really lift the track to the next level.

Fresh from his reMix of M83’s awesome ‘Midnight City’, Jonathan Bates A.K.A. Big Black Delta has just released his first album, ‘BNBDLP1’.
It’s a brooding affair, often with an Industrial or Experimental slant, but manages to retain a solid groove throughout. Sharing a lot in common with peer M83, the record mixes harsh, distorted sounds with sweet melodies and heartfelt, floaty, vocals, Most of the tracks are driven by machine gun drums and heavy synth bass which juxtapose nicely with the more tuneful elements Big Black Delta effortlessly craft, creating something that could get you going in a club just as much as it is a satisfying listening experience. ‘BBDLP1’ is a melting pot if electronic styles, all brewed up into an powerful, dark, ElectroPop epic.

‘BBDLP1’ is available now digitally for free for the next seven days, vinyl and CD to follow with artwork, T-shirts and stickers to accompany orders from Big Black Delta’s website.

Today sees the release of Shelby Grey’s new album, ‘The Music Is On His Side’. Released on ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’.
It’s actually an amazingly varied body of work, if you like the sound of a synthesizer then there will be something for you contained with this records ten tracks. From the opening ‘April’s Legacy’, a sweeping electronic epic that sets the tone for an album just as occupied with conveying emotion through music as it is with making you dance. The mood lightens immediately as we get into the album proper, lifted by the tropical flavours of Chains Of Love, although this track does retain an underlying melancholy. all that is blown away, though, by the first of two collaborations with Cavaliers Of Fun’s Ricco Vitali who helps Shelby get the party started on ‘Wild Youth’. From their the LP slides through different genres and moods from the deep groove of ‘Voce D Amore’ to the atmospheric soundscapes of ‘The Dream Is Always The Same’ and ‘La Nena’ stopping by the upbeat SynthPop of the first single, ‘Echoes, Dimensions & Waves’. After keeping the energy up with the storming title track the album closes on a couple of cinematic pieces, ‘Back To Bollebygd’ and ‘Soracci’, leaving you suitably released from the big room tunes. Whatever you’re looking for, whether Jarre-esque synth compositions and something to fill your Nu-Disco dancefloor, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find it within ’The Music Is On His Side’ .

Topless are an ElectroPop duo from Holland who’s free ‘Topless’ EP is five tracks of pure retro Pop set firmly in the late ‘80’s and very early ‘90’s, complete with early House basslines and New Order-esque use of sampling. Add to this some insanely catchy songs and you have a very cool EP.
The lead track of the EP ‘Say You Love Me’ has been given the reMix treatment by LA ElectroPop dude Robots With Rayguns. Mr. Rayguns, Lucas Patrick Smith, takes the track further back in time a few years, to the early/mid ‘80’s, and seems to inject the tune with a little Electro-Soul from that period. He reels thins in from being frantic ElectroPop to being smooth SynthPop (yes, there is a difference, deal with it!) and in doing so give the track a bit more of a laid back summer vibe.

It should be no surprise to anyone that Database have reMixed French Horn Rebellion again. These guys are always up in each others business. Not that we mind, the results are always good for us.
Following on from the synthetic Disco awesomeness of their début EP, Database keep up their momentum with this fun, bass heavy, ElectroPop reMix. It’s got such a head nodding quality to it that this track could be a whiplash hazard after repeated listens.
