Sneaky Sound System’s ‘Friends’ reMixes

Sneaky Sound System

There’s a few reMixes of Australian Pop superheroes Sneaky Sound System’s new single Friends around, the whole single package is really good, including work from BeNi, Sneaky SoundSystem’s own Black Angus and an awesome mix from Plastic Plates we featured last week. Of the tracks on the single that are fresh to our ears, the mixes from Jonny Pow!! and Norman Doray are the standouts.

Plastic Plates aside, Jonny Pow!! delivers the best of the crop. A Funky ElectroPop tune that takes Connie’s big vocal and adds more Disco groove and this infections synth hook that worms it’s way into your brain. This is definitely, alongside the Plastic Plates mix, the more intelligent reMix in the package. For summer DiscoPop connoisseurs If you want massive danceflor action, then Norman Doray delivers, generic Trance lead aside it’ll do the job, just try not to think about it too hard. It’s all good fun.

The Presets’ ‘Youth In Trouble’

You know what I thought when I went to bed last night? I thought ‘I hope there’s a new track from The Presets released when I wake up’, their first new track for four years’. Look what happened!

Youth In Trouble is finally out today. A hypnotic, undulating, acidic odyssey. Both abrasive and funky as hell. Yoshi Sodeoka directs the video effects hell video, an assault on the senses to match the track.

Youth In Trouble is out now with reMixes from Green Velvet, Alex Metric, and The Finger Prince & Light Year (although we can find it in any store that sells decent quality downloads yet, just iTunes).

The Presets new album Pacifica is out 14th September on Modular.

Little Boots reMixed by Moon Boots

little boots

A while back, we claim that we had made our last post about Little Boots’ current single Headphones, luckily we used the caveat ‘probably’ because there another awesome new reMix. This reMix comes from another kind of boots, a Moon Boots. The American Disco producers has combined his talent for Boogie with Little Boots infectious Pop to create a pair of Little Moon Boots that’ll rock your socks.

Moon Boots gets his Nu-Disco groove on with the funkiest of the Headphones reMixes so far. Sparsely sprinkled with Tropical percussion, Boots (the Moon variety) lays on the bouncy synth bass and sparkling lead lines thick, crating a relaxed dancefloor gem that flows perfectly with Boots (the Little variety)’s vocal. It’d be a toss-up between this and Dimitri From Paris’ mix for our favourite, I think they both take the top spot for different reasons.

Touch Tone reMixed by Final DJs

touch-tone1

Germany’s finest, Final DJs, have joined the reMixing Touch Tone’s Home Away From Home party and the thought of that eipc vocals combined with Final DJs epic synth solos is pretty exciting indeed. Still riding high on the release of their recent Gossip Country Final DJs are on a roll right now, let’s see if they can keep it up.

Their reMix of Home Away From Home is probably the funkiest thing they have released to date, there’s very little of the SynthWave Final DJs in here. Instead what we are treated to is head on collision between Nu-Disco, Tropical and House. With a bassline, guitar lick and strings that are pure ‘70’s Disco and a beat and piano hook straight out of Chicago, the Final DJs mix up a slick, summery vibe that really plays with the vocals. They’ve pushed the rhythm of the chorus back a bar which makes the chorus seem more urgent, giving the laid back beach vibes a bit of drive. Guaranteed to get you moving, Final DJs mix has injected some much needed boogie into our Wednesday.

Pinemarten’s new EP

Pinemarten

Derbyshire based producer Pinemarten is back with a brand new EP. He’s been a bit quiet since January when he released his Here It Is EP. We’re glad to see he hasn’t been sitting on his laurels, the man is preparing for the release of his new EP I Can See.

Here’s the title track, what we are treated to here is more of Pinemarten’s not-quit- Chillwave, chilly ElectroPop. Driven by a thick digital Funk bassline and, whilst the sound is somewhat bigger than on the previous releases, the laid back vibe still remains. Full of sweeping synths and a reverb washed electronic soundscape, I Can See casts a slightly more imposing shadow that Pinemarten has before, but his floaty, emotional vocals keep the tune in that dreamlike Disco mode we loved the first time and there’s some beautiful soloing toward the end. ElectroPop for chilled summer evenings. Check it out.

MiGHty mOUse reMixes Moonlight Matters

moonlight-matters

Moonlight Matters (Seba from Villa)’s Gustaph from Hercules And Love Affair featuring Come For Me is easily one of the tracks of the year so far, along with a handful of other release it’s really breaking that post Bomb The Bass late ‘90’s Pop sound that just so darn fun. What better to put the icing on the cake that a reMix from London’s dancefloor controller MiGHty mOUse.

The mOUse takes the Chicago House elements of the track and runs with them. It’s an epic song and MM really works that by bringing us down into a hypnotic groove for the verses and then sending us skyrocketing into a massive piano led, euphoric chorus. MM really works the diva nature of the vocals by building tension and adding layers to the verses as they build toward the chorus, where the tension breaks into pure uplifting anthem territory. It’s the attention to detail that really makes this mix shine, full of intricate details, from the percussion to the sampling, it’s impeccable produced, giving it something to rock dancefloors and something to rock your headphones. The track isn’t on the single, it’s an added bonus, so grab the download now.

The return of LexiconDon

LexiconDon

This week Binary’s bay boys LexiconDon make their long awaited return. LexiconDon were amongst the Dreamwave originators, the original Binary crew, and since the release of their amazing Pink + Blue album in 2010 the Don’s main synth twiddler Fabian went on to have critically acclaimed Nu-Disco hit album Say Goodbye. We’ve been waiting a while but now looks like the right time for the guys to get the band back together! Time for another LexiconDon summer.

The new single Where Did We Go? is pure LexiconDon. The combination of Fabian’s smooth beats and Alex’s croon is something special. Just the vibe it gives off, I dunno’, it’s hard to explain but Fabian and Alex just sell it. I’m not sure what the ‘it’ they sell is, but whatever ‘it’ is it happens in the sunshine with beer and friends. For lovers of laid back, Disco tinged ElectroPop with an Indie aesthetic, this is your summer tune.

The Magician – Magic Tape Twenty-Four = Frankly we could write anything here and a new Magic Tape would still be something to be excited about. But The Magician has out done himself this time with a totally Tropical mixtape as Stephen leads us into the summer.

Erika Spring & Jensen Sportag

Erika Spring

We’ve been meaning to post this for a while now, kept forgetting, we’re only human! It comes from Cascine, need we say more? Well, yes actually seeing as ‘saying more’ is pretty much the sole reason for our existence, but we wouldn’t have to, and maybe that’s what counts. Erika Spring is, of course, one third of the amazing Au Revoir Simone and she’s gearing up to release her début, self-titled, solo EP next month.

The lead track from the EP is Hidden, a lush three minutes full of broken beats, backmasking, airy synths and piercing lead lines. It’s a beautiful cacophony over which Erika’s vocals float like wisps of familiar smoke. The kick in the ass we needed to get around to writing this comes in the form of a new reMix from Nashville Chillwave guru Jensen Sportag who swoops in like a soft focus Michael Jackson to lay some Chilled Funk and reverb washed groove over the track. With a killer bassline and and some slick string verging on the Disco, Sportag has pulled off another killer tune.
