Philosophy Of Sound’s ‘Freedom, What For?’ single & A.N.D.Y. reMixes

Philosophy Of Sound

After a week of build up yesterday Philosophy Of Sound released their new track ‘Freedom What For?’.

This is the Melbourne based duo’s second single for Discotexas and has so far generated a fair bit of hype. Well deserved it is too, the track rolls on a sprawling synth bass that will have you hooked the minute it kicks in. A lyrically politically charged track, ‘Freedom, What For?’ is cynical, but funky as hell, and with it’s power Italo bass and wicked guitar licks it just too infectious. the package includes a reMix from one half of Mustang, A.N.D.Y., which we features a couple of weeks ago as a stunning début, now you can download the instrumental version below, and be sure to check out the rest of the EP.

Orbital & Zola Jesus

I’m still in two minds about the forthcoming Orbital comeback album, but their new single, ‘New France’ with Zola Jesus is growing on me.

It’s definitely a step in the right direction, I have been a massive Orbital fan in the past, but am concerned they might struggle to stay relevant. If the whole album is like ‘New France’ my fears may be unfounded.

‘New France’ is released 19th March.

James Curd & Second Date reMix DJ Cam

DJ Cam

Parisian producer DJ Cam is a bout to release the single ‘Uncomfortable’ on Inflammable Records/Studio !K7, a downtempo, dramatic track with an excellent reMix package.

Amongst those featured are James Curd who picks up the tempo and drops the listener onto his robotic dancefloor. The bulk of the reMix is made up of classic House moments but Curd gives them his own unique Electro twist, a real tune for synthesizer lovers. Second Date go the opposite direction on drop a slick late-night slow jam, full of early ‘90’s R&B tropes and a silky smooth vibe.

♫ DJ Cam (Feat. Chris James) – Uncomfortable (James Curd Radio reMix)

♫ DJ Cam (Feat. Chris James) – Uncomfortable (Second Date reMix)

‘Uncomfortable’ is out 19th March and also includes a reMix from one of our current favourite acts, Reflex.

The return of Jordan F

jordan-f

I suppose you have to take a trip to find out where home is. maybe that’s what happened to Jordan F, who recently shed his name to dabble with a smoother sound under the moniker Countach, however he found he missed Jordan F too much, and y’know what, so did we.

So Jordan F, or as we like to call him the man in desperate need of new press photos, is back and announcing his return with ‘Jordan’s Theme’, his synthesizer manifesto. The track itself is a smoothed out, solo infused version of the title track of his ‘Definitely Miami’ EP, a little slicker n the production, a little more mature sounding, and rocking some serious leads. But more than the music, it’s a marker, a point that Jordan F can move forward from and take us all on his crazy retro synth ride.

ATTAR! & Citizens!

Citizens!

What happens when you get more than one band with an exclamation point in their name together? Is that like dividing by zero? Well, hold on to something just in case 50% of mustang, ATTAR!, is reMixing London Indie-ElectroPop crew and Kitsuné’s new darlings, Citizens!. !!!.

There’s a nice meeting of two things that are a perfect fit going on here. First there is Renaud Deru deep, analog sounding, stripped down Disco, which draws it’s groove DNA from ‘80’s dance, then there is Citizens!’s singer Tom’s slick ‘80’s vocal style, part Gary Numan, part Peter Murphy. The meeting of the two seems like a match made in heaven. This is glorious retroPop at it’s finest.

♫ Citizens! – Reptile (ATTAR! reMix)

‘Reptile’ is released today on Kitsuné Music.

Brodinski reMixes BeNi

beni

BeNi, an artist that never stops, is releasing his new single, the Prince Terrence featuring ‘Last Night’ next month and the reMix package looks like it’ll be storming.

The highlight of the single could well be this low down dirty reMix from Brodinski, who’s been killing it lately. Pulsating synthetic Disco meets a dark Techy edge on this mix with Brodinski busting out his best robotic march and sprinkles the tune with harsh Industrial bass and a hint of Acid. It makes an awesome contrast with the soulful vocals. The rEMix will feature alongside tracks from Oliver $ and Waifs & Strays on the single.

♫ BeNi – Last Night (Brodinski reMix)

‘Last Night’ is released late April on Modular Recordings, it;s taken from BeNi’s album of last year, ‘House Of Beni’.

PNAU’s ‘Soft Universe’ gets Ministry Of Sound CD release

pnau

PNAU’s new album ‘Soft Universe’ is out later this month. But wait, isn’t it already out? Why, yes, yes it is. The album was first released to the world last summer, then got picked up by Ministry Of Sound and released digitally by them now, at the end of March, MOS are releasing ‘Soft Universe’ on CD.

I’s an awesome, euphoric record that we talked a lot about last year and if, like us, you still have a massive soft spot for a physical release, it’s definitely an album that warrants the real deal. Crammed full or rousing, emotionial and massive sounding ElectroPop floorfillers. ‘Soft universe’ has already spawned a couple of huge singles. I expect you’ve already got this record, but if you haven’t check out some of the highlights below and the grab yourself a copy soon, at least in time for summer.
