[MP3] Viceroy reMixes Hunter Hunted’s ‘Keep Together’

San Francisco beach Disco-meister Viceroy is at it again. This time the man is tacking LA Indie-Rock duo Hunter Hunted’s Keep Together, from their recent, self-titled EP. Taking the jangly, and if we’re honest a little mediocre, IndiePop and turning it into a wonder of summer DiscoPop is no mean feat, but Viceroy pulls it off in style.

The treat you’re in-for here is an admittedly breezy and catchy vocal pair with some carefree, Disco tinged ElectroPop. The purest of summery tunes, this reMix provides synth leads that seem to come with their own little ray of sunshine. It might be a little saccharine for you, but if you can deal with the good time vibe then you can just let it roll.

[MP3] Chromeo’s ‘Over Your Shoulder’

What a couple of weeks it’s been for new music! To top everything off here’s the new single from the almighty Chromeo. It’s no secret that Chromeo are one of our favourite outfits and after last week’s album teaser we never expected this new single to break ground so soon. But here it is, and a free download too. Get your teeth into Over Your Shoulder.

The words ‘slab’ and ‘funk’ spring immediately to mind, shimmying alongside the word ‘smooth’, as Over Your Shoulder is a smooth slab of funk as only Chrome can deliver. A slick, electric piano driven tune that shows off Chromeo at their subtler, and most quintessential, selves. A tongue-in-cheek tale woven by Dave 1’s vocals set to a thick backing of Electro-Funk and 70s Disco licks, swooshing synths and a lazy bassline, make for the best of laid back Chromeo. The first track taken from Chromeo’s forthcoming new album, White Women, Over Your Shoulder definitely has us eager to hear more.

Chromeo’s forthcoming new album, White Women, is due out later this year or early 2014.

[MP3] Ben Macklin’s ‘Make Me Feel’

Taken from his forthcoming EP for Modal Recordings, Make Me Feel is the new tune from Cassette Club’s Ben Macklin. Featuring Rowan Arnold from The Dukes on a vocal turn, Make Me Feel has seriously got us in the mood for the rest of the EP with it’s laid back Tropical take on Electro-Funk-Pop.

Loaded to bursting point with Boogie, Make Me Feel channels 80s electronic Soul as it builds it’s walking groove to toward a chorus the injects a little of the Balearic into the mix. A stuttering, bubbling, synth bassline give the tune it’s charm, coupled with a B-boy beat it gives the track a gruff, nostalgic, feel, before the Island Disco and Arnold’s smooth vocal take care of the tracks easy going poolside elements. Head nodding, pensive, stuff.

[MP3] Baron Von Luxxury edits David Bowie’s ‘Golden Years’

LA DiscoPopper Baron Von Luxxury continues his Luxxury Edits series with this slick rendition of David Bowie’s 1975 hit Golden Years. The track is ripe for a Disco edit with it’s infectious little hook and after Luxxury’s edits of Madonna’s Vogue amongst others we reckon he’s the man for the job,

Luxxury works that riff to it’s fullest. Being true to an edit, he doesn’t add much to the mix, just a simple kick to keep the crowd moving, then manipulates the original, keeping what works on the dancefloor, stripping what doesn’t, washing the track in effects, until the end result is a hypnotic, swirling, slice of poolside Disco.

[MP3] Ellie Goulding’s ‘Burn’ reMixed by Leo Kalyan

So, publicists are sending us tracks their neighbours have produced now. That’s a thing that is happening. Frankly, we don’t mind, as long as it’s not from our neighbours (who’s music taste is terrible), or from the Neighbours (who produced Kylie, granted, but also Stefan Dennis). If it’s tracks like London based producer Leo Kalyan’s reMix of Ellie Goulding‘s Burn, our mailbox is open.

Kalyan serves up a rich banquet of deep grooves in his take on the track. Shuffling, hypnotic beats and basslines that allow Ellie’s vocals to take on a new, smokey, aspect as they curl in and out of the tracks pulsating electronics. Kalyan seems to have a knack for delivering something that is both atmospheric and extremely dancefloor friendly, something about those enigmatic rhythms and haunting tones that make this one pretty compelling.

[MP3] Final DJs reMix Janet Jackson’s ‘That’s The Way Love Goes’

One of our favourite German exports, the awesome duo Final DJs, are on a bit of a reMix roll at the moment. having recently turned in a storming mix of Stevie Nick’s Stand Back, the guys now turn their attention to Janet Jackson’s 90s hit That’s The Way Love Goes. Unusually choice for a track, but the Nu-Disco twosome really run with it.

More House oriented that Final Djs usual output, this reMix keeps the original’s soulful swing and pairs it with a shuffling, Garagey beat and pulsating warehouse bassline. Staying true to the early 90s sounds of the Jackson single, Final DJs conjure a Pop-Dance vibe true to the era. sustained strings, a trope of the time, are utilised to great effect here, tempering the tough groove to allow Jackson’s vocals to flow over the track like water.

[MP3] Aimes’ ‘Give It To Me’

One of Brooklyn’s finest exports Aimes has released another tune in his slightly Housier direction. The second of his free downloads in the waters of this new sound for him, Give It To Me, brings an even deeper, irresistible, House vibe to Aimes music and it’s deservedly getting a lot of DJ support right now.

Mixing up Aimes spacey Chillwavey background with some moody warehouse beats and a slightly Tropical vibe, Give It To Me gently pulls you along with it’s subtly pumping bassline and waves of dreamtime synths give it that laid back haze we’re used to from Aimes, but there a compelling late night floor filler side to Give It To Me’s equation too, and the two word amazingly together to produce five minutes of bliss.

[MP3] Ride The Universe’s ‘You And I’

Before we talk about the new tune from Dreamwave superheroes Ride The Universe, let’s just take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous cover artwork by RTU’s Pete (A.K.A. digitalfoxglove), we’re really digging it. Of course, he is a graphic designer by trade, so if it was shit we would have been pretty disappointed, but still, it’s an awesome bit of art. Anyhoo, the funky foursome are dropping a brand new track today, You And I, just in time for the final fling of the summer. Let’s get involved.

You And I is the product of four different minds, with four sets on influences, and really benefits from it. Encapsulating Ride The Universe’s funk, You And I is laid back, but never relaxed. Bringing a full-on stormer at a pace you can groove to, the tune glides along on a slightly Housey hook, replete with Ride The Universe’s trademark percussive formant synth work, all ridden by some smooth talkbox’d vocals. Did we mention the stratospheric solo from Sam in the big breakdown? It’ll push you over the edge. The most cinematic piece of Space Disco from Ride The Universe yet, these guys just get better and better.
