Gigamesh & Foster The People

What a tune to come back from the weekend too! Gigamesh smashes this reMix of Foster The People’s ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ right out of the park!

With just the right mix of Indie-Electro and Disco Gigamesh has revamped FTP’s over-remixed ‘hit’ into a piano and electro tom laden summer anthem. A new lease of life for the track was defiantly needed for this song to get some of the summer play it so desperately wanted and Gigamesh has done just that.

♫ Foster The People – Pumped Up Kicks (Gigamesh reMix)

Foster The People’s album ‘Torches’ is out 24th May.

Fear Of Tigers – ‘The Guestlist’ 06/05/2011 = The week Fear Of Tigers’ special guest is Valerie Collective head honcho, and the man behind College, David Grellier and in a fit of insanity Fear Of Tigers invited me back on the show to pick my big tune of the moment, which had to be Ride The Universe’s reMix of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’, alongside the usual best of ElectroPop, Dreamwave and Nu-Disco around.

Mustang’s Monarchy reMix

Monarchy and Rokhsan’s single ‘I Won’t Let Go’ was released a week or so ago, so if you haven’t heard it yet here’s the amazing Mustang reMix.

Epic and emotional, Mustang has done an awesome job here. Loaded with Disco bass, big retro chords and a funky little guitar riff this reMix really highlights both sets of vocals for the powerful performance they are. I think this is defiantly my favourite of the reMixes, it takes the raw feeling of the original but dials the music down a bit and lets you just sink into it.

B-Xentric! reMix Honom

B-Xentric! have reMixed up a storm on Honom’s new single.

The London duo have ElectroBoogie of the original, pinned it down, and beat it around the face with their massive analog Disco. Big chords and percussion are the driving factors in this reMix, oh and a demon synth bass sound that’s got the funk with a bite to it.

Wait until they kick it up to 10 by dropping the House piano! Crazy!

Honom’s ‘Shape EP’ is out soon.

Com Truise’s new EP

This week deep Electro Disco dude Com Truise released his new EP, ‘Fairlight’ on Ghostly International.

‘Polyhurt’ is taken from that EP, it’s a spaced-out, blissed-out jam loaded with analog synth Disco goodness and a smooth night time groove. This guy’s really leading the pack in the field of synthesizer funk. With some epic playing that would make Jarre proud, a rolling bass, and some seriously cosmic lead lines this track is retro futuristic gold!

♫ Com Truise – Polyhurt

The ‘Fairlight’ EP is out now with Com’s début LP, ‘Galactic Melt’ following on 5th July.

Ride The Universe’s reMix of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’

Y’all can stop making reMixes of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’ now! Ride The Universe are in the house!

This is what Chromeo mixes should sound like. Like someone drove a dump truck full of synth Funk up to your house and deposited it’s cargo on your doorstep. Just listen to that talkbox riff, pure, addictive, genius! This track’s got everything you want to get the party started. Driving arpeggios to keep the energy up, the aforementioned talkbox riff, sweet 80’s chords and a wailing guitar to keep you inspired (take the Chromeo vocal track off the mix and it would make a very cool training montage track!). It feels like digitalfoxglove and the Fiero boys have really found their sound now and are really to step up to the plate and pate their place amongst the big hitters of Disco (was that two Baseball metaphors in one sentence? I’m English, I don’t even know what Baseball is!), melding 80’s soundtrack epicness with solid Disco grooves RTU are gonna’ be a force to be reckoned with. Like a sexy 80’s cop show theme with aspirations of tearing up the dancefloor this track this tune has something for everyone.

Now that track is going to rock your summer!
