Mille is back with a Foster The People reMix

I’ll say it, Mille’s ‘Crysteena’ must rank as one of my all time favourite tunes, so it’s awesome to see the Swede back with a brand new reMix of Foster The People’s ‘Call It What You Want’.

From the opening bar this is synth heaven, but I would expect no less from Mille. The man is a master of both 80’s synth sounds and modern dancefloor production, and when the two meet magic happens. This reMix is a masterclass in retro ElectroPop; soaring and shimmering synths, FM bass, electro toms, all executed with a perfect groove. Milles riffs accentuate just the right parts of the original track to up the catchiness and make the vocals suddenly really epic.

‘Call It What You Want’ is taken from Foster The Peoples ‘Torches’ album.

Goin’ Old School: Kraftwerk – Trans Europe Express

Time to remedy the not having had any Kraftwerk on Goin’ Old School yet, with 1977’s ‘Trans Europe Express’, it was so good Afrika Bambaata and Arthur Baker took it an invented Electro Hip-Hop with it!

Only Children

Only Children are Chicago based collective of DJs and producers who, after a string of edits and reMixes, have just released their début artist single on Nuclear Family.

‘Don’t Stop’ is quite a stunning début. Taking New York Disco bass, intricate Indie-Electro synth work and New Order-esque vocals and washing the whole thing in a sheen of effortless Indie Disco cool, Only Children have created a summer hit that is catchy with a groove you can’t ignore. This is how 21st century ElectroPop should sound, intelligent, funky and slick, as much for the dancefloor as the headphones. Not only is the track awesome but the line up of reMix talent is pretty amazing too. Amongst the reMix package MiGHty mOUse work their magic with a smooth organ led Disco rework, Hey Champ!’s glitterball Disco reMix is ridiculously infections, and Bit Funk provide my favourite mix with a deep late night drive of a Dreamwave mix.

Memory Tapes reMixed by Jensen Sportag

Nashville’s finest ElectroFunk exports Jensen Sportag have turned their attention to reMixing the new single from Memory Tapes.

Taken from the free ‘Memory Tapes Tour EP’, a collection of reMixes, the Sportags’ reMix of ’Wait In The Dark’ is a dreamy affair. The solid backbeat acts as a hypnotising rock for the waves of lush synths and distant guitars to crash over. It’s a real chilled summer hit that I can imaging we’ll be listening to for a while.

‘Wait In The Dark’ originally appears on Memory Tapes second LP, ‘Piano Player’, released 5th July.

Grum reMixes The Good Natured

Sweet electronic X-mas! The Good Natured is one of my favourite Indie-Electro artists, and Grum one of my favourite Nu-Disco producers. The two together? Only good can come of this!

The results are pretty stunning, Grum makes the absolutely correct decision to keep most of the song structure and Sarah’s vocals intact, letting his massive sounding Nu-Disco groove support the track rather than obscure it. What you have in the end is an amazing meeting of Ms. McIntosh’s emotive voice and Grum’s body moving beats and soaring melodies. I love it when a plan comes together!

Maighréad’s ‘In The Beginning’ video

Maighréad & Disco Damage’s ‘In The Beginning’ single has finally got itself a music video.

It’s a suitably Housey, all very shiny and lens flare heaven. I think Maighréad’s a really interesting artist and would have maybe liked to see something a little more inspired to show off the song. Still, it’s a slick looking production, and an ace track.
