New tune from Bon Accord

bonaccord1

Bon Accord, London based producer Michael Wright, featured on electronic rumors last year with his instrumental DreamPop EP True Delusion. He’s been a bit quiet since but this week stopped by the ol’ inbox to drop of his latest creation, more blissful electronics in the form of Pleasure.

It’s a track that lives up to it’s name, bouncy and diverting but with a warm mood of fantasy. Still working with a sound that lives at the intersection of BedroomPop and Chillwave, Bon Accord adds a slight Disco groove to his rich pallet of vintage synth sounds, letting his sparking melodies and buzzing pads fill our minds while the rhythm section moves our feet.

Goldroom ‘Fifteen’ video

Goldroom’s summer anthem Fifteen now has a nice visual element in the form of this new official video.

Directed by Jacob Gibson, the video is very Goldroom, in the sense that it’s very Dreamwave, almost a spiritual successor to Josh’s NightWaves Sweet Carrie video, slightly more grown up, slightly more adventures, no less full of wonder.

Goldroom’s EP is out now.

F3’s new single

Silhouette Music are fast becoming one of the Dreamwave/Nu-Disco labels to watch. All of their recent released have been right on the money. Not only that but they have been giving support to some top up and coming artists. In the case of their next single it’s relative newcomer F3, two producers from Tel Aviv, Israel, who gets the labels support.

The single, Congo Bongo, is (despite the title) a slick, and pretty complex, Nu-Disco tune with enough Electro Boogie overtones to give it that slight edge. There’s a really nice way the stomping, percussion fuelled, rhythm plays against the floaty vocal samples, the hard and soft of the track adding to the comfortable party groove. There’s a bunch of reMixes on the single, covering a few different styles, but we have to give a shout out to our boy Silenx, who completely flips the script on the track, morphing it into a deep, atmospheric Synthwave instrumental peice. A majestic dark future soundtrack which slowly builds to a melodic and optimistic finale, both to the track and the single as a whole. Every single or EP should end like that.

Shook’s new tune

Shook

Here’s the new one from Dutch musical Disco master Shook. Hot on the heels of his recent, Ronika featuring, Distorted Love/Love For You double A-side single comes this new tune, Garota ’92. These days Shook has been purveying a more laid back sound and this track carried on in that direction.

Garota ’92 is loaded with Shook’s trademark funk bass and synth slides and with this new tune he fold a little Tropical vibe into his sound. Bringing the beach Disco with this one Shook transports us to warmer climes and good times. Working the vibe with big retro synths and a slight steel drum feel into the mix, this track is like the cocktails it conjures the mood of. Ain’t nothing wrong goin’ on round here.

MiGHty mOUse reMixes Hervé & Ronika

Ronika

Hervé & Ronika’s old school Rave anthem How Can I Live Without You? (Make It Right) was finally released yesterday, revealing the most eagerly awaited (as far as we were concerned) of the reMixes. From the moment we heard both the original, and that London’s Disco don MiGHty mOUse was contributing a reMix, for us, that was the one to hear.

And it lives up to expectations, easily positioning itself as the standout of the package. Driven by a deep galactic funk, MiGHty mOUse takes us, and Ronika, out beyond the solar system with some of the most cosmic Disco you’ll hear in a while. A booming robo bassline is perfectly complimented by electro toms popping and pewing like laser fire off the starboard bow. This is the kind of jam they danced to in late 70’s Sci-Fi shows, when the did dance, especially in Buck Rodgers. Like the musical equivalent of a shiny silver jumpsuit, one worn by Madonna Of The Midlands™ Ronika. Which, thinking about it, she’d probably love. Addictive space funk, get involved.

Future Unlimited’s new track

future-unlimited

Future Unlimited are a Nashville based Indie-Electro, verging in ElectroPop, with a Chillwave outlook, duo who we’ve written about a few times in these inches. Their EP, EP, released earlier this year was a masterclass in floaty retro Dreampop and now the twosome is back with a new tune, Lightweight Eyes, that further cements their reputation as purveyors of vintage emotional dance greatness.

Lightweight Eyes is probably up their with their best track to date, Golden, a multi-layered, swirling track. A Dreamwavey retro ElectroPop track washed with Chillwave’s reverb sounds more contemporary that you’d think. This tune shines, everything about it is shimmering and bright, but in soft focus. The hazy synths blend and evolve together like a nostalgic dream, instantly confortable but somehow distant, while the vocals dance around, weaving in and out of the song. There’s an almost shoegaze quality to this track, except it’s far too dancefloor friendly to be truly ‘gazey. This, more Electro direction, definitely has us eager for more from Future Unlimited.

New tune from Mitch Murder

mitch-murder1

This brand new track from the king of SynthWave, Mitch Murder, is an almost perfect ode to Saturday mornings as a kid, getting up and sticking the cartoons on. For me that meant, on a Saturday or School Holidays, the Wide Awake Club, with TransFormers, Battle Of The Planets (G-Force), Thundercats, Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends… you get the gist.

With Saturdays Mitch has captured the mood with his usual flair. The innocence of youth, the excitement of a Saturday morning are represented by shimmering bright synths that ring out over that particular kind of stuttering FM bassline so often used in Kids TV themes. As the track progresses (into the action?) Mr. Murder gets his Trevor Jones/Vince DiCola on with some digital slap bass. After a rash of moody Sci-Fi epics, it’s awesome to hear Mitch Murder in fun mode, you can’t help but smile at this track.

Pat Lok’s new single

pat-lok

Today Canadian Nu-Disco guy Pat Lok releases his new single, Remember, on Frances excellent On The Fruit Records. We caught a listen to the original version back in March, it’s a floaty, spacey slice of electronic Disco with a dreamlike quality that wraps you in it’s funk warmth. Now the track has a full release with some pretty awesome reMixes.

reMixes come correct from fellow Canadians Sp00nfed and British production duo of Glyn Cosford from ICOMPUTE and Tronik Youth’s Neil Parnell, otherwise known as Wayving. Sp00nfed do a good job of keeping the dreamy vibe but Housing things up a little, morphing the laid back Disco into Laid Back beach House. Laying a little piano riff and some piercing synths Sp00nfed get right inside your head with this one. Pure funky dancefloor bliss. Wayving’s take on Remember is a rich, full, Disco experience, don’t let the toytown synth riff fool you, this is big tune. Riffing off ‘90’s House, Wayving lay down a solid groove guaranteed to move you.

Monitor 66’s ‘Deep In the Night’

monitor-66

It was only last month that we featured Swedish Nu-Disco trio Monitor 66’s single Her Bells. Hot on the heels of that release, as a thank you for all the support it received, the guys have droped a brand new tune, for free. Deep In The Night is a slick as hell was to say “cheers”.

Pure late night boogie, Deep In The Night is sexy Disco that cares about nothing but the moving you. Dropping a very slight Tropical flavour on to of the bass heave Disco sound, Monitor 66 drop a jam that is 50% mirrorball, 50% sunset. Smooth beats, smooth bass, smooth keys. Pull up a beach chair, grab yourself a cocktail, enjoy the sunset with Monitor 66.
