Rogue Vogue

Rogue Vogue is a project from Chicago’s Thomas Mountebank who has just burst into view with two storming tracks set to funk you over.

Combining classic Chicago House sounds with Nu-Disco grooves and a funky feeling both Rouge Vogue’s tunes are laidback head nodders that are impossible to ignore. ‘Sunshine’n’ is a re-interpretation of Roy Ayers’ ‘Everybody Loves The Sunshine’ and brings a chilled House piano and a spacey Funk vibe to the immediately recognisable vocals while ‘Breeze’ takes The Isley Brothers’ ‘Summer Breeze’ as it’s base and drags it kicking and screaming to the Disco as smooth summer jam with a touch of Chicago Acid.

Shindu’s ‘Happy House’

Kitsuné Music’s latest single release is Belgian act Shindu’s take on Siouxsie And The Banshees 1980 hit ‘Happy House’.

It’s a track that was begging for a modern workover and Shindu have certainly lived up to the challenge. Dropping Topical and Disco vibes over the song works so well. Produced by Moonlight Matters the track is already being tipped to be one of tunes of the summer. London’s ElectroPop double act supreme JBAG take it to the next level though with a huge dancefloor aimed retro monster of a track. With a killer bassline and a constant build to the finale, this records is going to tear up some floors this summer. Herr Styler contribute a deep House mix with a 90’s piano sound that turns the track into a majestic epic.

♫ Shindu – Happy House (JBAG reMix)

Grum on the reMix with Nightriders

Nightriders’ new record ‘Get Hooked’ came out this week and the single includes a stunning reMix from Grum.

His version of ‘Get Hooked’ is a massive mash-up of hands-in-the-air influences, featuring the energy of early 90’s rave, some euphoric trance riffs, but none of the inherent cheesiness as the whole thing is wrapped up in a big room tune. Only Grum could make Euphoric Trance lines sound cool again.

Azari & III’s ‘Manic’

I’m really digging the new single from Canadian eclectic House/ElectroPop duo Azari & III.

‘Manic’ is pure deep sexbeat goodness. A rolling beat and electronic bassline coupled with the 80’s R&B vocals on hypnotic, brain infesting, “oooh oooh”s create, with the sweeping synths, is real mix up of Detroit, Disco and 90’s UK House. Whatever it is, there isn’t anyone quite like Azari & III around at the moment, and we’re glad they are.

♫ Azari & III – Manic

‘Manic’ is out on 24th July with reMixes from DJ Sneak, Tiger & Woods, Finger Prince and Christian Aids.

Goin’ Old School: Krush – House Arrest

One of my favourite tracks of all time, from 1987 Krush’s ‘House Arrest’. The bassline, the keys, Ruth Joy’s floaty vocals work together so well. One of a handful of tracks that really broke the UK house scene. Such memories.

D/R/U/G/S début EP

D/R/U/G/S, well renowned for his reMixes, released his début artist EP this month.

The title track, ‘Love/Lust’ is a deep, hypnotic House track which owes much to the early House experimenters and to late nights/early mornings in Shoreditch. D/R/U/G/S, A.K.A. 22 year old Callum Wright rides the soul invading groove with washes of freeform electronica that show a real depth to his producing.

♫ D/R/U/G/S – Love/Lust

‘Love/Lust’ is out now on Moshi Moshi sub-label Tender Age.

Housquare

You can stop debating if the 90’s are back now. They are. Housquare have made it official.

Actually, Housquare have as much late 80’s House wrapped up in their sound as early 90’s. This is a revival of proper old school Chicago house with heaps of Acid and heaps of Soul. On The Fruit Records are playing their cards close to their chest with this one but if you miss orchestral stabs and burbling Acid badsslines the you’ll be wanting to pay attention to Housquare with interest!

Robortom & Au Revoir Simone get classical

Robortom is classical composer Tom Hodge, Sunday Best head honcho Rob Da Bank and electronica legend Tom Middleton with vocal stylings from ElectroPop girls Au Revoir Simone.

Their single ‘Paganini Rocks’ is a 21st century reworking of Paganini’s ‘24th Caprice’, originally written in 1819 and will be instantly recognisable to even the most uncultured. This new take on the melody sounds fresh and is sure to hit the charts. The video for the track premiered this week, check it out:
