Louis La Roché reMixes The Swiss

the swiss

Nu-Disco wunderkind Louis La Roché has reMixed The Swiss’s forthcoming new single ‘Double Or Nothing’.

The single sees a welcome return after a period of quiet from the Australian ElectroPop duo and La Rouché’s reMix really sets the tone. Working the vocoded vocals hard to ride a bouncy Disco bassline, this reMix is pure Sci-Fi robotic Disco madness with laid back undercurrent.

♫ The Swiss – Double Or Nothing (Louis La Roché reMix)

‘Double Or Nothing’ will be released 23rd September with another original track, ‘Womanthem’ and a reMix from Headman.

Aduno So Tanie, Kelek & Dusty Digital enter the Pippi Longstrump arena

Tiger

The cometition is really heating up in Fear Of Tigers’s ‘The Adventures Of Pippi Longsrump’ reMix wars.

Aduno So Tanie, Kelek & Dusty Digital are the latest two names to submit entries, both really high quality. Aduno has been featured on electronic rumors before and here brings a really glossy synth epic. Dreamwave in the truest sense of the word, this reMix doesn’t rely on kicking drums or a Disco bass to carry it, it merely soars along on intertwining layers of lush synths and uses the vocal sample in a way we haven’t heard before. Kelek’s take on the track is an awesome head on collision between mid-80’s ElectroPop and French Touch, with an almost New Order feel to it with a Nu-Disco sheen. Kelek really makes the track his own with a melody that will stick in your head. Dusty Digital bring more of a Disco flavour to the tune with a funky little lick running throughout.

♫ Fear Of Tigers – The Adventures Of Pippi Longstrump (Aduno So Tanie reMix)

♫ Fear Of Tigers – The Adventures Of Pippi Longstrump (Kelek reMix)

♫ Fear Of Tigers – The Adventures Of Pippi Longstrump (Dusty Digital reMix)

All three are amazing works, if I had to choose one, gun to my head, I think the Kelek one would just take it.

Viceroy + Alkamyme reMix Madonna

madonna

Yesterday was the queen of Pop, Madonna’s birthday, to celebrate Viceroy + Alkamyme dropped their brand new reMix of ‘Like A Prayer’.

Before I played this track I really didn’t know what to expect. I couldn’t imagine the song reworked into one of Viceroy’s usual beach Disco jams. What he and Alkamyme have delivered instead is an analog bassed ElectroPop slow burner that pays true respect to what is one of the greatest Pop songs ever written. They have crafted a reMix that sits perfectly with the original, it’s understated but infectious.

Tyson’s ‘Fight’

Tyson-Fight

Do you have an upcoming battle? An obstacle to overcome? Overwhelming odds to face? Let Tyson’s new tune be the soundtrack to your training montage.

Continuing in his trend of epic synthesized Pop, ‘Fight’ is pure 80’s action soundtrack. Slick ElectroPop with a hint of a Disco vibe that take in influences from Vince Di Cola to Kenny Loggings and anyone who’s music grace a movie with a VHS cover featuring a sunset and a steely gazing hero. All Tyson’s releases so far have us eagerly awaiting his album.

♫ Tyson – Fight

Tyson’s new single is due next month with his début album coming in 2012.

Lo Fi Fnk – Boom (Moonlight Matters Remix)

lofifnk

Coming straight off of Lo-Fi-Fnk’s reMix package for their new single, ‘Boom’, here’s the slick Disco of Moonlight Matters’ version.

Sitting alongside reMixes from Yelle DJs (tEPr & GrandMarnier) and Weekend Wolves, Moonlight Matters works his Disco magic. Taking the Swedish ElectroPop outsiders and easing their tune into a  Funk fuelled dense Disco tune is no mean feat, but the Belgian producer pulls it off effortlessly making their abstract vocal style seem perfectly at home amongst the slap bass driven raw Disco sounds.

♫ Lo Fi Fnk – Boom (Moonlight Matters reMix)

‘Boom’ is released 27th June, their new album ‘Last Summer’ is out on on August 17th

Stream Erasure’s new single

erasure

Here’s your first taste of what to expect from the eagerly awaited new Erasure album. eagerly awaited not only because it is Vince and Andy’s first studio album since 2007 but also because it has been co-produced by contemporary SynthPop marmite Frankmusik.

The track is ‘When I Start To Break Down’, to be the new single, and bodes very well for the album. There’s a certain epicness to the track that you can see coming both from Andy’s solo work and, more definitely, from Frankmusik. It’s got that heartfelt, with a hint of majestic, melodic quality that Frankmusik used to be so good at before he tried to become an AutoTuned American Hip-Pop nightmare (come home Vince!). The song though, is very much an Erasure track though, but Andy’s Vocals and Vince’s writing shine through and gives up high hopes for the new record. The track also shows what a talent Frankmusik still is, he’s just fallen in with a bad musical crowd or something.

♫ Erasure – When I Start To Break It All Down (Single Version)

‘When I Start To Break It All Down’ will be the first single from the forthcoming ‘Tomorrow’s World’ album, it’s released 29th August .
