Dizkopolis reMix OJ Law

OJ Law

The best thing to come out of Kuala Lumpur and our good friends Dizkopolis have dropped a brand new reMix, and it’s as smooth as ever. this time they are tackling fellow Malaysian and Indie singer OJ Law.

reMixing Law’s track Yoñlu, Dizkopolis have delivered a slick slice of Dreamwave as only the can. Consistently producing the most dreamy of retro synth tracks with a Disco edge this production duo conjure nostalgic feelings of good time with each and every one of their tunes. This reMix of Yoñlu is no different, a laid back Disco beat rolls onwards amongst a lush amalgamation of thick, soft, synths and a walking bassline. This makes the perfect backing for OJ Law’s soft spoken Folksy style and produces a track made for lazing around on the beach. Nothing but good times here.

Yoñlu is taken from Law’s album Yesterday is a Distant Dream, out now.

Arcade High’s début album

Arcade High

Pittsburgh based SynthWave artist Arcade High’s music is a cross between the kinda of SynthWave we are used to, influenced my ‘80’s TV and Movie themes, and the adrenaline chaos of video game arcades a couple of decades ago. Prepare for sweet lead lines with a ChipTune edge with his début album The Art Of Youth.

Appropriately the into track is called ‘Inset Coin’ and after a selection of 8-bit sounds we are dropped into the first song proper, Miami Nights. It’s in this track that you start to get a feel for Arcade high. Rich retro synths build thick, nostalgic sound full of synth flourishes and uplifting progressions. There’s something thoughtful and pensive about Arcade High’s music, despite his neon flashing muse. The albums highlights, for us, were 1987, a deep boogie of a cop show theme tune with a video game lead line amidst the shimmering synths. Electric City is digital bassline gold, growling like an angry Italo beast and providing a core for the Disco-esque lead line to play around it’s space. The surprise track of the record was Crush, the albums only vocal track that enlists the voice of Maddie Ardillo and delivers a catchy Italo slow-jam with a ‘90’s Indie overtone. The whole eleven tracks of The Art Of Youth are worthy of your attention, a strong début for Arcade High. Did we mention it was free?

David Douglas’ new EP

Royal Horticultural Society is the début EP from Dutch producer David Douglas. Although at eight tracks it weight in more as a mini-album. Douglas draws from myriad sources of inspiration to weave various styles of electronic music into his beautiful, rustic tunes. the natural and synthetic working in perfect harmony.

The EP (album?) kicks off with California Poppy a blissful, hazy track with sets the tone for the Disco tinged Chillwave proceedings. Lazy grooves and reverb washed Funk, dreamlike vocals and half heard vocal samples make up the truly organic use of electronics on this EP. The EP’s blurb explains: “David Douglas (1983) is a Dutch producer of electronic music.David Douglas (1799) was a Scottish plant hunter who explored North America collecting seeds of plants and trees unknown to mankind at that time. Inspired by the Scottish botanist, David from ’83 started looking for his own musical seeds. The greatness of nature the sublime mountain landscapes, Icelandic lupine fields, arctic coastlines, Californian fir forests invigorate his music.”. And that kinda’ makes sense when you hear the record. It’s very natural sounding, like the tones and sounds are evolving throughout the tracks. Dreams has all the elements of a big Disco tune, vocal snatches, a solid groove but prefers to use them in a more fluid fashion. Lo-Fi and grainy, David Douglas’ music is hard to categorise. Warm, and enveloping like smoke, the emotional electronic soundscapes are complimented by beats that come from all over. Broken beats, B-Boy beats, Disco beats, all have a place on this record, assimilated into David Douglas’ musical garden.

Ryan Riot reMixes Satellite Stories

Satellite Stories

Swiss SynthWave producer Ryan Riot has returned to the electronic rumors Inbox with a brand new reMix. The current focus of his attention are comically voiced Finish Indie Rockers Satellite Stories and their summery Indie tune Anti-Lover.

Like a Nordic Two Door Cinema Club, Satellite Stories have got the right amount of guitar jangles and “Oooo-Ooos”, so in swoops Ryan Riot with some robotic arpeggios and a Disco beat. The big retro chords in the chorus, particularly, are uplifting as hell for a Monday morning. There’s a tad to much of that quite shitty sounding guitar in the background, but it doesn’t distract too much from a quality reMix. Roll on more Ryan Riot.

Digitalism’s ‘Encore’ reMixes

Digitalism

German Electro masters Digitalism are currently gearing up for the release of the eagerly awaited DJ-KICKS mix album, and reeling from an interview from us but still have time to drop new tracks. ‘Encore’ dos what it says on the tin, it’s a Beatport exclusive companion to their DJ-KICKS release featuring two reMixes from one of their new tracks.

First up is renowned German House producer Solomun, who’s deep mix is so analog and retro that is boarders on SynthWave. Sparse but groovy, Solomun really milks his robo Funk bassline and ‘80’s chords to maximum effect whist nodding to Digitalism’s Electro roots in the breakdown. Spiller teams up with 2 Guys In Venice produce exactly the kind of filtered Disco House that you would expect from names like these getting together. It’s funky as all hell, but a little meandering considering who’s involved.

♫ Digitalism – Encore (Solomun reMix)

♫ Digitalism – Encore (Spiller And 2 Guys In Venice reMix)

Digitalism’s ‘DJ-KICKS’ record is out 10th July. You can pre-order the record here.

Yan Wagner reMixes Tristesse Contemporaine

Tristesse Contemporaine

Parisian Indie-Electro trio Tristesse Contemporaine actually comprises a Brit, a Swede and a Japanese girl and are about to release their second single, ’Hell is Other People’, later this month. It’s an interesting, introspective ElectroPop track. Quite minimal, quite moody. reMixes are supplied by Chloe, Clement Meyer and this track from real French Parisian Yan Wagner.

Mr. Wagner takes things into a slightly more upbeat, ElectroPoppy place with his reMix, but keeps things in an atmospheric, brooding place. The subdued vocal works really well with this new urban futuristic backing. Sparse dance beats and a bouncy bassline make a nice core for the more ethereal elements of the track, shimmering synth hooks and floaty pads. Interesting, Intelligent, ElectroPop.
