Anoraak reMixes sayCet

SayCet

The almighty Anoraak are back with a brand new reMix for Parisian Indie/ElectroPop/Experimental/Downtempo trio sayCet.

Keeping the downtempo feel to the track, Anoraak brings his retro ElectroPop sounds to this slow jam creating at track that is both a head nodding Electro tune and something that is quite ethereal and dreamlike. The tempo actually make it sound more ’80’s than a lot of Anoraak’s previous work, if that’s even possible. This is pretty much the ultimate chill out track for synth lovers.

Electric Youth’s ‘Right Back To You’

Electric Youth

Does anyone else feel like Electric Youth should release stuff more often? They’re easily one of Canada’s finest ElectroPop exports but we hear from them so sporadically.

Take ‘Coming Right Back To You’, which we first heard a year ago and is finally available to buy. it’s a track that shows off just how clued up EY are when it comes to both songwriting and production styles in a mid-‘80’s Pop vein. It’s easy enough to recreate, or be influenced by ‘80’s music, but the era does have a particular signature when it comes to songwriting and vocal arrangement and Electric Youth have got it locked down. The production too, the use of big synth chords and the insertion of guitar, all authentically slick ‘80’s Pop. Fellow Canadian Dreamwaver DVAS sets up for reMix duties with a laid back funktastic track full of warm analog synth sounds and a delicate Rhodes piano holding up the melody.

Poolside’s new track

poolside

Coming from nowhere Poolside have spent the last six months making such a name for themselves as purveyors of quality beach party Disco and smooth Dreamwave.

Their new track, ‘Take Me Home’, has the honour of appearing on Vito Aeroplane’s new compilation ‘In Flight Entertainment’ and is such a blissful, relaxed, for want of a better word, poolside jam. Built upon shuffling percussion and hazy guitar, ‘Take Me Home’ is a dreamlike mix of breathy vocals and swirling synth noises. It’s about as trippy as Disco gets.

Yuksek & Peter & The Magician (hold on, two of those are the same!)

yuksek

Yuksek’s newest single will be reMixed by Yuksek again alongside Stephen Frasano, the ex-half of Aeroplane in their awesome Peter & The Magician, guise.

‘Always On The Run’, gets the honour of being the first released Peter & The Magician reMix, after their amazing ‘Twist’ EP on Kitsuné. And what a way to kick off a reMixing career. Flawless synthesizer DiscoPop is the best way to describe it, Both of these guys really are at the top of their game and have crafted something bewilderingly likable here. there’s nothing about this track that disappoints, from the bouncy bass to the maddeningly infectious melody this tune is a winner.

‘Always On The Run’ is out tomorrow, Yuksek’s second album, ‘Living On The Edge Of Time’ is out now.

Quasars And Lovinsky’s new tune

Quasars And Lovinsky

Russian producers Quasars and Lovinsky have teamed up again for another of their smooth retro synth workouts.

Heavy on the movie samples (1984’s Danceploitation flix ‘Heavenly Bodies’ (yes, I did just invent the movie genre Danceploitation)) and shimmering synth sounds this mid-paced burned is full of cinematic emotion played out on lush electronic sounds. These two are really starting to shine a light on the Russian SynthWave scene and make good standard bearers for their contemporaries.

Mindscramble’s new tune

Mindscramble

Mindscramble, one of the Manchester Electro massive (and I do mean massive, there’s loads of them!), has dropped a new track on an unsuspecting public.

the track is apparently still in demo form, but you wouldn’t know that from giving the beat driven Sci-Fi soundscape a listen. Firmly in the Dreamwave./Synthwave camp, Mindscramble manages to get across a real sense of narrative with this tune, the arrangement almost follows chapters of some story known only to the man himself, but there are definite ‘acts’ to the seven minute track and Mindscramble successfully conveys a different emotion for each one. Musically he’s got the Italo-influenced-‘80’s-movie-theme thang down pat with a good feel for retro synth sounds and a good ear for a melody that works, just take the leads on ‘Save Me From Myself’, they are almost haunting, which makes a nice stark contrast to the driving FM bass.

Charli XCX’s new single

Charli XCX

Out this weekend is the new single from London’s resident ElectroPop nutcase Charli XCX.

Having come a long way in the last few years Charli has really hones her sound, that is carved out a sound for herself. A lot darker now than she used to be, her new single ‘Nuclear Seasons’ is a moody and edge peice of ElectroPop backed by tribal percussion and buzzsaw synths while Charli wails about, in her own words “…about a sense of decay. Whether it be the decaying of love, the decaying of life or the decaying of a period of time. Its about being lost and frozen and surviving. Its about being on your own and feeling magic alive when you come through the other side.” Charli XCX’s transition from madcap bubble-gum to something deeper looks like the making of a seriously interesting artist. Check the singer here and head over to her website to download for the price of an email address.

Silenx reMixes The Tapeaters

The Tapeaters

The Tapeaters and Silenx. Two of the more interesting act to emerge in the last couple of years.

So for Silenx to work his Nu-Disco excellence on The Tapeaters retro DiscoPop is a bit of a treat. The track ‘Don’t You Dare’ is the Russian duo at their ElectroPop finest and Silenx adds his bright synthy sheen to the tune. The track has a smooth, laid back vibe despite being pretty upbeat, the thick , warm sounds that Silenx uses gives his reMix an little soft Funk, even Yacht, flavour in amonget the kickin’ Disco beats.
