Hypnolove’s ‘Holiday Reverie’ EP

French analog synth Disco crew Hypnolove are back this month with a new EP produced by Ed Banger’s Mickey Moonlight.

The ‘Holiday Reverie’ EP mixed up some pretty eclectic influences and instrumentation from Disco to Dub to Experimental to ElectroPop with the title track being a funky, weird, summery, Pop tune. Head nodding basses and muted guitar amongst the warm synths are the deal here while ‘Midnight Cruising’ is a cowbell laden, harp solo wielding SynthPop track. there’s also a Mickey Moonlight Dub of each track.

♫ Hypnolove – Midnight Cruising (Mickey Moonlight Dub)

The ‘Holiday Reverie’ EP is out now on vinyl and digitally on the 17th on Record Makers with an album following in October.

Ride The Universe reMixes AXXE

Here we have another incoming reMix of Canadian ElectroPopsters AXXE’s ‘Sweet Stuff’, this time the worldwide phenomenon that is Ride The Universe are going to show us what’s what.

I’ve been waiting a while to hear some RTU with sultry female vocals, it seems to me to be the perfect combination and the boys just go nuts with the opportunity. In what is probably the most retro of their productions so far, their reMix of ‘Sweet Stuff’ is washed thick with 70’s Disco and Funk. Layering a solid, body moving, groove with euphoria inducing Disco lead lines is a heady combination. The union of AXXE and RTU is music so sexual that if AXXE release a Disco tune in nine months time I think we can safely assume what happened.

This is the tune of the month, easily!

Beaumont’s ‘Skyline’

Hot on the heels of his last offering, ‘City Meets Soldier’, Melbourne producer Beaumont keeps his momentum going with a brand new single, ‘Skyline’.

In a kind of evolutionary cycle Beaumont started out producing Disco and Electro tunes, then he applied his skills in their area to more atmospheric, soundtrack-like pieces, and now with ‘Skyline’ he brings the beat back but retains the epic and evocative nature of his recent tunes. ‘Skyline’ is almost a feel-good antidote to ‘City Meets Soldier’’s intensity. It’s the hope for the future in the face of adversity, the picking yourself up after a fall, the sunrise after a night spent chewing your face off. It’s got some corking reMixes too!

♫ Beaumont – Skyline (Beaumont reMix)

Show Your Shoe and Fiero step up to the plate for reMix duties with Show Your Shoe getting his extreme Funk on in a way that will surely solidify his reputation as one of the most talented producers of Electro/Disco/Funk around, while the Firero boys round of the EP by bringing more smooth than you can handle with some seriously majestic Dreamwave sounds.

Mr. Mæn reMixes Publicist

Mr. Mæn, who has wowed us with many of his recent reMixes, has turned his attention to Publicist’s ‘Come To My Senses’ from his recent Discotexas EP ‘Professional Show Business Pt.1′.

Mr. Mæn builds a kind of machine Funk thoroughout the track with relentless industrial sounding ethnic percussion playing nicely against the groove of the bassline and the vocoded vocals. Mæn has created a deep hypnotic peice here for you to sink into.

‘Professional Show Business Pt.1′ is out now on Discotexas.

AXXE & StardonE

The ElectroSleaze of AXXE plus StardonE’s Cosmic Disco. How good a combination is that?

Actually, StardonE brings things a back to earth a little with this reMix which is more rooted in late 80’s SynthPop than his usual spacey Disco Funk, even going so far as to include a little Italo in the mix. the end result being a track that could have rocked Hi-NRG dancefloors a couple of decades ago but will also rock Disco dancefloors today.

There’s more AXXE reMixes on the way, some special stuff coming.

Chris Malinchak’s new EP

Chris Malinchak’s new sounds on the French Express label is his forthcoming EP ‘Make Your Move’, with the awesome ‘Another Day’ as the B-Side.

The title track is the perfect summer nights Nu-Disco track. A solid groove, snatched of vocoder and wicked licks in a melting pot of Funk, for the height of the party. When the sun starts. to come up, though, is when ‘Another Day’ comes into play with it’s distant, dreamy ElectroPop vibe with a Disco sheen

Lazydisco’s ‘More Tigers’

Lazydisco is Fred Oliveira from Rockets, and he’s about to drop a brand new single on Discotexas.

‘More Tigers’ is an incredibly summery slice of quite laidback Disco which kinda’ works on three layers. There’s a layer of nice 80’s chords for that nostalgic feelgood factor, them some cosmic synth work which create a chilled vibe toped of with some 90’s House piano which nicely keeps the energy going. That’s a recipe for success! reMixes come courtesy of a whole host of awesome artists such as In Flagranti, The C90s, Xinobi, Mirror People, MODE and this track from Coupons who go deep and progressive on the tune with a hypnotic and slightly oriental flavour.

Peter & The Magician’s ‘Twist’ EP

Peter & The Magician, also known as Yuksek and Stephen Fasano, ex-one half of Aeroplane, recently dropped their début EP in Kitsuné Music, and what an EP is it.

There is something really authentically retro about the three tracks on the ‘Twist’ EP. the title track you will have already heard by now, it featured on Kitsuné’s ‘Maison 11’, it’s like an stripped down, analog, Yuksek track. The other two tracks go deeper down the 80’s rabbit hole. ‘La Fiorentia’ is a Vince Clarke-esque ElectroPop instrumental with a Yellow Magic Orchestra melody, and ‘Love In Rimini’, my personal favourite, is B-Boy Electro incarnate with a Sci-Fi Disco. twist Awesome stuff.
