Broke One’s ‘Go Go Go’ reMixes from Russ Chimes & Treasure Fingers

The big tunes for your weekend start right here!

Last week Broke One released his new EP, ‘Stop Making Sense’, which features some storming reMixes of the lead track ‘Go Go Go’. Russ Chimes (oh my god, did you hear the preview of his new EP?) drops this reMix that mashed up equal amounts of Funk and Rave. I’ve never heard Chimes sounding so Ravey but the natural groove running through the man’s veins make for the most Disco sounding Rave ever and fitting those Rave sounds and riffs into a solid groove is a stroke of genius. This is guaranteed to get you moving. Treasure Fingers’s mix treats us to a healthy does of Old School House with abrasive 909 beats tempered by smooth Disco strings and a return of the ‘It Takes Two’ break and some classic House samples.

Moonlight Matters reMixes Alex Winston

The latest reMix from Moonlight Matters is this version of Alex Winston’s new single ‘Sister Wife’.

Bringing some deep funkin’ analog bass to the table Moonlight Matters mix injects the track with some cool Disco ElectroPop first heard on Aeroplanes’ April mixtape. I’m really digging how Alex’s unique vocals, with the kind of otherworldliness found on The Knife records, sit over the raw synth work here. Love the steel drums too!

Jungle Fiction reMix Two Door Cinema Club

ReMixes of slightly old songs don’t always grab you but this mix of Two Door Cinema Club’s ‘Something Good Can Work’ by Icelandic Nu-Disco crew Jungle Fiction made me sit up and take notice.

Big, big, synths and a whole lot of groove dominate this mix. Building on the sound of their début EP the trio of young producers keep on expertly riding the line between pedal-to-the-metal Electro-House and smooth melodic Dreamwave with the kind of skill that easily ranks them up there with the Dangers and Kavinsky’s of the world.

Ellie Goulding’s cover of ‘Heartbeats’ given the Cosmonaut Grechko treatment

Ellie Goulding’s live cover of The Knife’s ‘Heartbeats’ is the only cover I can tolerate (i.e. I love the original and hate Jose Gonzalez generic, uninspired, snorefest). Ellie’s voice, with it’s slight rasp, adds something to the song nicely. Wonderful news the that Russia’s coolest producer, Cosmonaut Grechko, has editied the hell out of it.

Dropping a nice chilled beat and some spaced-out synths in the background turns a nice cover into something pretty special. Grechko has actually turned the backing track into something a bit reminiscant of The Postal Service. It’s very easy to stick this track on the headphones and get lost in Grechko’s programming and Ellie’s voice.

Enjoy:

More Futurecop! ‘Starworshipper’ reMixes

With Futurecop!’s ‘Starworshipper’ reMix competition over, and congrats to MPM for the win, we thought this would be a good time to let you check out some of the awesome ‘also rans’.

We’ve already posted the MPM winning entry and Sferro’s smooth mix, but up there as a serious contender for the crown is Ren Riz’s perfect slice of Dreamwave DancePop that compliments and builds on the original with style. Silenx’s ‘Sunrise reMix’ injects a little synthesizer emotion into the track with his big retro chords and little additional melodies that nicely layer up the track. For those of you wanting something to beef-up the tune check Owl Vision’s, ahem, bang0r, that takes your face and slams it into the dancefloor.

Amazing work by everyone involved.

CSLSX

This track hit all the right buttons!

Philidelphia based, but worldwide staffed, Electro collective CSLSX have just dropped this downtempo Disco jam ‘Keep On Shining’. It appeals to every bit of the electronic music lover in me. It’s driven by a mid-tempo solid rhythm section with a head nodding bassline, Cosmic synth work and hit of Dub influence. This is a tune to be played on repeat on long, hot, summer nights.
