Chromatics’ track from Drive

chromatics

So, buy now you know how awesome the Drive soundtrack is, featuring the likes of Kavinsky and College alongside Cliff Martinez’ electronic score.

It also features ‘Tack Of the Clock’ from Chromatics’ excellent album ‘Night Drive’. Edited down to fit the scene by Chromatics and Johnny Jewel the track wasn’t released independent of the album. So Johnny has uploaded it to SoundCloud saying this “A lot of people have been asking about the different version they are hearing in the film. The original “Night Drive” version is around 15 minutes long. Nat Walker (Chromatics / Desire) & i reconstructed it from the original tapes in order to make it heavier in the theatres & cut it to the picture. What we didn’t know was…the soundtrack people weren’t going to let people get it individually. They are trying to rope you into buying the whole album… But all the kids really want is Desire, Kavinsky, & College… So here it is for free. Pass it on. xo johnny jewel”.

Check out the atmospheric, tense, electronic throb of ‘Tick Of The Clock’:

Cyndi Seui covers Badly Drawn Boy

Cyndi Seui latest release come straight from the forthcoming Kitsch Cat Vol.2 compilation and features Gramaphone Children to boot.

A Cover of Badly Drawn Boy’s ‘Silent Sigh’ the track sees Seui becoming even more of a force to be reckoned with as he effortlessly rides the thin line between Nu-Disco/Dreamwave and ElectroPop. Lush synthesizer Pop, multi layers and meticulously produced, that’s always kept funky with a slick Disco bassline is Seui’s trademark, and he deftly applies that to this cover version turning a reasonably dreary song into a beautiful synth powerhouse.

♫ Cyndi Seui (Feat. Gramaphone Children) – Silent Sigh (Bradley Drawn Boy Cover)

Kitsch Cat Vol.2 is out in November and features Cyndi Seui, Yuri’s Nominee, Gramaphone Children, Stargazer, Instant Science, Pelific, and Astrolabe.

Final DJs’ new tune

finaldjs

Germany’s Final DJs have dropped a new tune intent on putting some funk in your soul.

Not nearly a full of soaring synths as their previous work, ‘Funk In Your Soul’ is a slow building Disco tune that owes as much to LA Nu-Funk a la DâM-FunK as it does to Dreamwave or Nu-Disco. The loose groove is quite a stark contrast to their regimented quantized tracks, and that of their contemporaries, but works really well for a late night summer jam.

Darius

Darius’ new tune for Shiny Disco Club is brings the tempo down and the sidechaining up.

In Daruis’ hand his samples become mid-tempo pulsating, hypnotic Disco brain worms. They’ll burrow into the pleasure centres of your brain and live there, funking to the thick synths and cut-up madness of ‘Falling In Love’.

Two of the smoothest acts ever to grace a beach party get together for some hot reMix action right here as Ricco Vitali A.K.A. Cavaliers Of Fun gets versioned by LA’s slick ElectroPopsters Young Digerati.

Kid Machine’s ‘Cold Planet’

kidmachine

Kid Machine gets into a place where dark Italo and Cosmic Disco meet with his new tune ‘Cold Planet’

Premiered on Mr Flemming Dalum’s radio show this month, this track has got a really nice musical duality to it. On the one hand there is an aggressive, punchy rhythm section build upon sparse 80’s drums and an icy arpeggiated bassline, however this is tempered with layers of lush, sparking, synths that lend on optimism to the tune. ‘Cold Planet’’s authentic ‘80’s Italo sound is sure to strike a chord with all fans of SynthWave (or whatever it is calling itself this week).

Night drive on!
