Com Truise’s ‘Datebar’
Com Truise is about to head out on tour with Active Child and Chad Valley (that’s quite a line up!). While he;s away he’s left us all with a track from his vaults, ‘Datebar’.
What we have here is the slickest of chill synth Funk. Crossing boundaries between cut-up Disco and night drive Synthwave, Mr. Truise does it again with his intricate programming and spartan production that’s like your best memories of summer in the 80’s.
Com Truise’s album ‘Galactic Melt’ comes highly recommended.

Don’t fuck with Penguin Prison’s money
It’s been a live favourite for a while now, so ‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ was a good choice of Penguin Prison to tease his forthcoming album.
‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ is such an evolution from his BedroomPop of old. Whist it keep s that intimate, low key vibe, the production is big Disco Funk layered Indie-Electro. This is a true good times anthem, funky and funny. Listening to the studio version it’s easy to understand why this track always goes down so well at shows.

Radio INK: ‘Rocket’, the reMixes
Radio INK haven’t graced the pages of electronic rumors for a while now, but their new reMix package for the ‘Rocket’ single…oh my god!
I honestly don’t know where to begin, nine reMixes, all top quality. Let’s take a look at some of the best. Bit Funk kicks things off with one of his best to date, a deep bassed DiscoPop tune that works the best of Disco and Pop to their fullest. Moonchild rocks his synthesizer disco for an upbeat track that I believe samples Freeez’s ‘I.O.U.’, or contains a riff that sounds just like it. Neon Workout bring a more retro Dreamwave flavour to the package. The 80’s sounds in this Mix bring out a whole new side of the vocal track. Koobra (from Helsinki 78-82)’s sweeping SynthWave take on the track turns the tune into a retro ElectroPop epic with an instant classic lead line.

Karin Park
Karin Park is a Swedish singer with one foot in the Pop and one foot in the avant-garde.
Taking cues from the likes of The Knife and Fever Ray, those deep Scandinavian beast and spooky instrumentation are present but also a Björk-esque Poppiness rides alongside. Mixing up a dubby warping bass with twinkling melodies catches the attention of both body and mind. Park’s unique impassioned vocal delivery is just the icing on the cake.

The ‘Tiger Dreams’ EP is released 19th September.

Clubfeet’s ‘Broken Hearted’ video
‘Broken Hearted’ is the third video stemming form the ‘Gold On Gold’ collaboration between Indie-EelctroPop producer Clubfeet and filmmaker Alex Goddard.
It’s a cool, deep, ElectroPop track and the accompanying video is a nicely shot dreamlike narrative.

Alexandre Louvré’s ‘Love Elevation’
Here’s a brand new track Alexandre Louvré dropped in celebration of getting 1,000 followers on SoundCloud.
The MJ sampling ‘Love Elevation’ is pure bouncy cut-up Disco, amazingly skilful for this producer of just 19 years old. This is proper Nu-Disco, peak time beach part music. It’s Louvré’s keen ear for what works perfectly on the dancefloor that makes him a name to watch on the Nu-Disco scene.

Cicada X BeatauCue
Cicada recently released their ‘Sunburst’ album which is an amazing twelve tracks of synthesizer Funk and ElectroPop tinged Nu-Disco.
It’s apparently selling well and in celebration they are giving away this reMix of the lead track ‘Come Together’ by BeatauCue who morph the track from smooth Disco to an ear bleeding Electro floorfiller. I think most people are pretty over big distorted kick-drum and sirens Electro these days, but this is actually quite a good example of it. In the good ol’ day’s we’d have called this a ‘banger’ or something.
