Goldroom reMixes Atlas Genius

Atlas Genius

Australian Indie-Rockers Atlas Genius came to our attention earlier this year when their Trojans single boated some sweet reMixes from Lenno and Fred Falke. Well these boys are still on their continuing mission to prove to the world they really know how to pick the best reMix talent, as their new single is given a blissful workout by Mr. Josh Legg, doing his Goldroom thing and bringing sunshine to everyone in the world.

The new single, Back Seat, is given a lush summertime gloss at Goldroom’s hands. Using bell-like electric piano against a more sharp House piano riff leads to an almost steel drum effect in the track, a breezy beach groove that keeps the Yacht feel of Goldroom’s tunes but ups the tempo a little for a track that would work perfectly for peak time at a  pool party. Washed with feel good vibes Goldroom layers the track with numerous complex elements that build and build toward the track’s finale, which leaves you with a haunting melody ringing in your ears.

♫ Atlas Genius – Back Seat (Goldroom reMix)

Goldroom is heading out to the South Pacific next month, you can catch him here:

02.11 – Can’t Say, Melbourne
03.11 – 1885, Auckland

Oliver X Aeroplane

Aeroplane

Well, it’s finally here. The long awaited reMix of Aeroplane’s We Can’t Fly, by LA Oliver duo Oliver. the fact that they’ve waited so long to release this much sought after track, even if they were saving it for Eskimo Records’ Eskimonde compilation, is quite bizarre, and probably harmed the track in terms of visibility. It’s easily worth the wait, but a bit disappointing that what could have been one of the tunes of the summer (summer 2010 that is) has been kinda’ wasted.

But, like we said, it was worth the wait. Thanks in majority to Oliver. The duo of Oliver ‘Oligee’ Goldstein and Vaughn ‘U-Tern’ Oliver have always been at the top of their game. Even two years ago they were producing slicker Dreamwave tinged Disco tunes than almost everybody else, and this reMix just proves it. It revolves around the vocals and this huge Funk synth riff that you just can’t help but nod your head too. It’s pure good times Disco with their trademark relaxing LA vibe. It’s a majestic track, that’s practically a dancefloor religious experience. Oh, and a little cowbell never hurt anyone.

♫ Aeroplane – We Can’t Fly (Oliver reMix)

Oliver’s reMix of Aeroplane’s We Can’t Fly will feature on Eskimo Records’ tenth anniversary box-set, Eskimonde – A Decade Of Eskimo Recordings, which drops 31st October.

Starcadian reMixes SLDGHMR

Starcadian

Good news everyone! New York’s best kept secret, Starcadian, is back with a brand new reMix. Easily rating as one of our favourite discoveries of the year, this Brooklyn resident has pretty much blown us away with all his tunes this year. This latest track is a reMix of Miami producers SLDGHMR’s collaboration with La Falix, Deviate.

Whist the original had some great moments, let down by a couple of uninspired  Electro-music-by-numbers moments, Starcadian whips the track up into a absolute monster tune. Neatly combining his talents in huge, cinematic, highly musical, Disco-House and storming, cut-up Electro, Starcadian produces something that is as infectiously energetic and the most fist-pumping of hard Electro, but as smooth as the most Tropical beach party Disco and as emotionally resonant as the most orchestrated SynthWave song. Washing the vocals in vocoder give the refrain a more melodic quality, which is used, amongst other lead lines, to temper the chainsaw Electro synths and frantic slap bass. I don’t think there is a single producer out there who can mix up juggernaut Electro with melodic Pop quite like Starcadian, and if their is they aren’t as good.

Shindu reMixed by Jerry Bouthier

Shindu

We last saw Belgian ElectroPop act Shindu releasing on Kitsuné last summer. their storming cover of Siouxsie And The Banshees’ Happy House went down a treat. Now the slimmed down two piece are back with a new single on Jerry Bouthier’s Continental Records which is already getting a ton of support from some of the coolest DJs ion the planet.

Just Go is a big, rousing, slick of European SynthPop, all vintage synths and sultry vocals. Alongside the Original and a reMix from the amazing Cyclist, Jerry Bouthier himself gets a look-in with a rocking Dub version that’s primed for the dancefloors. Spinning the best of the original out into a floor-filling five minutes, JB works the buzzing analog synth bass and baroque leads, bringing out their most euphoric qualities. Mixing in just the right amount of vocals in the chorus the track takes on a new, anthemic, quality. Expect to be hearing this one all over.

♫ Shindu – Just Go (Jerry Bouthier Dub Edit)

Shindu’s Just Go is released 5th November.
