Madonna’s ‘Get Together’, a relatively recent track, have been lovingly reworked my Electro renaissance man Monsieur Adi.
You can tell it’s one of his favourite Madonna tracks by the sheer thought and consideration that has gone into this mix. Slowing the pace and counterpointing his trademark strings with the warmest bass you’ll ever hear Adi creates a deep, enveloping track that you can just sink into.

Show Your Shoe’s recent ‘Technik City’ EP had had a reMix makeover.
‘Technik City Revisited’, currently a Juno exclusive, holds four versions of tracks from the original EP featuring work from Coupons, Flashworx, Mitch Torino and includings this version of ‘Jet Skiing’ by Beaumont. The man gets deep and dark with the rhythm section in a slow, brooding track that threatens to suffocate you but give you glimmers of hope with sparking lead lines and Disco licks. There really needs to be a genre name for Beaumont’s slowed down Disco and Dreamwave. DiscoStep? Dubwave? LOL

Holographic People’s first release was awesome, and I can tell you that their second release is awesome. So I shall henceforth be calling them ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’, which is true, until further notice.
This week sees the release of the début EP from Miroir, a new project from two producers at the top of the Electro game, Clancy and Build. I’m really digging the ‘So Fewer Particles Scatter’ EP, the thing that initially impressed me about it most is how varied it is. I tend to think of both Build and Clancy as, albeit amazing, producers of Nu-Disco, but this EP goes much further afield than that. If you are into any kind of synthesizer music (and if you’re not, what the hell are you doing here?) there is something for you to love amongst the five tracks here.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the EP doesn’t deliver dancefloor monsters. The opening track, ‘Kites’, is a piano led dance epic and the finale ‘Luminance’ is pure big room, peak time, euphoria, but alongside them you will find the more 80’s sounding title track and ‘Night Sky’, which draws in some Italo influences too. Both stand head and shoulders with the best in retro Electro, melodic and robotic in just the right places. And then there’s ‘Synth Vs. Sea’, a Tangerine Dream-esque atmospheric analog synth love song.
♫ Miroir – Kites
♫ Miroir – Night Sky
♫ Miroir – Synth Vs. Sea
It’s really a exciting thing when producers get to express themselves beyond the confines of what’s expected of them, you get the feeling that Clancy & Build enjoyed making this EP as much as we enjoyed listening to it!
Check out the rest of the EP on the ever-awesome Holographic People’s SoundCloud.

Mjolnir, you probably know from their The Chemical Brothers reMix that was doing the rounds a couple of weeks ago. This Indonesian trio make some sweet Disco and Italo influenced ElectroPop that you need to check out.
Picking up the ItaloPop torch from Heartbreak (what’s happened to Heartbreak?) ‘Just A Boy’ is an epic six minutes of mid-80’s sounding SynthPop that could easily be dropped in the middle of an 80’s set and have the crown stroking their chins a commenting that they remember this track, it’s on the tips of their tongues! ‘Midway’ is slightly more contemporary in it’s production but sneaks Duran Duran-esque guitar riff in there amongst the sparkling ElectroPop and vodocer madness, and it’s catchy as hell too.
♫ Mjolnir (Feat. Dini) – Midway
They also entered this reMix in Tuff ‘Em up’s Barretso remix competition, it’s some seriously solid Disco.

Mjolnir are definatly a trio to keep you eyes on, we expect great things.

Cosmonaut Grechko + She’s The Queen + Druma Kina! What can go wrong?
Absolutely nothing! Grechko’s collaboration with She’s The Queen’s Emily, ‘All I Hear’ was one of the highlights of his recent (and awesome) ‘Alaska 2100’ EP, throw Brazilian Nu-Disco king Druma Kina into the mix and you’ve got a floor rocking cut-up Nu-Disco edit of the track that’s relentless in it’s funkiness. This is a peak time track that’ll send the crowd crazy.
Totally rad!

It’s really is time to start paying attention to Silenx, if you like your retro sounding, Disco influenced, synth music then the man is top of his game.
‘Far Far Away’ is a melodic, spaced-out, Dreamwave jam that sweeps you up in it’s beautiful synths then his you with a killer slap bass. The production is pretty slick too, it’s quite a dense track but everything sits nicely and it retains that spacey, cosmic feel. With a couple of nice drops in just the right places and a lead line that soars ‘Far Far Away’ sees Silenex getting better and better.
