New Worship track!

This is more like it!

Swiss synth wizard Worship has dropped a new tune! ‘Bavaria 1999’ is a sweeping analog epic. A cosmic Space-Synth track that takes you an a sonic journey to other galaxies. Sprinkled with just a tiny hint of Daft Punk, Worship perfectly walks the line between Space-Synth and Nu-Disco, taking the soaring leads and otherworldly arpeggios from the former and the beats and Disco basslines from the latter.

All-in-all, excellent stuff.

♫ Worship – Bavaria 1999

Worship’s next release will be more dancefloor orientated, can’t wait!

Monsieur Adi mashes-up Ellie Goulding and Daft Punk

This is pretty special! The Nu-Disco kind of strings Monsieur Adi has dropped this gobsmackingly good mash-up between Ellie Goulding’s ‘Guns & Horses’ and Daft Punk’s ‘Make Love’.

This is one of those occasions where the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts. I haven’t heard a version of ‘Guns 7 Horses’ that highlights the real beauty in Eliie’s voice as well as it is showed off here. I love her vocals anyway, but in Adi’s hands there almost become an instrument, one of his beloved strings.

That is how you kick off your day!

Justin Faust reMixes Butterfly Bones

In the mood for some bass funkin’ Nu-Disco?

If you are then you’re in luck! If you’re not, well, tough…

The man Justin Faust has busted his reMix skills over San Francisco based Disco Rockers Butterfly Bones ‘Crystal Caves’ and the end result is a truly astonishing slice of groove thick, sweeping, retro Disco awesomeness. With a bassline that is targeted directly at making your head nod and a soaring lead line that takes you to another planet, this track is pretty much essential.

Fiero reMixes the hell out of Christopher Cross

Take a look at that badass picture , epic huh?

That right there is Christopher Cross he wailed on his guitar and sung about meaningful shit in America in the early 80’s. The kind of powerful nonsense found on every awesome 80s movie soundtrack. Now the Fiero posse have brought him kicking and screaming, on the back of a unicorn, into the 21st century (or at least a retro Disco version of it) with their latest reMix. Taking 1983’s ‘All Right’, already a spine-tingling slice of throwaway brilliance in it’s own right, and tuned it into a sweeping Nu-Disco journey from the dancefloor to the centre of your heart.

See, tracks like this just make me gibber like an idiot! More please Fiero!

Chromeo + La Roux + Duck Sauce = Party!

We posted a really shitty rip of the Duck Sauce reMix of Chromeo’s version of ‘Hot Mess’ featuring with Elly Jackson from La Roux a while back and while we don’t usually post tracks twice this tune really needs to be heard in it’s entirety.

Duck Sauce is, of course, Armand Van Helden and Chromeo’s Dave 1’s brother and nearly legendary producer A-Track and together they knock out a massive House reMix, I imagine you’ll be hearing this track a lot when it drops later this month.

♫ Chromeo (Feat. Elly Jackson From La Roux) – Hot Mess (Duck Sauce reMix)

The ‘Hot Mess’ single is out 17th January and along with the original and the new duet features reMixes from the likes of Duck Sauce and Tiga.

The electronic rumors awards: electronic rumors’ best video of 2010!!!

Although there were a few videos shortlisted for this accolade, so many stunning, clever clips made this year, there was only ever going to be one winner. Or three.

So, it might be a cop out to have a trilogy of videos win a best video award, but these three clips really need to be viewed together. As much as the three work as well cut, pacey promo videos on their own, it’s together where the non-linier storytelling shines through and you get a real since of the plot, as well as the supernaturally tight editing and beautiful eye.

The winner of electronic rumors best video of 2010 is…

Russ Chimes – Midnight Club trilogy (Never Look Back, Tertre Rouge & Targa)

Directed by Saman Keshavarz and produced by Francis Pollara, the team that had previously brought us the award winning video for Cinnimon Chasers’ ‘Luv Deluxe’ who have this way of capturing the tension in the beautiful.

Accompanying the visuals are the three tracks from Russ Chimes’ ‘Midnight Club’ EP, one of the best releases of the year. It’s three tracks of forward thinking, innovative Nu-Disco that leaves his competitors in the dust.

The electronic rumors awards: electronic rumors’ top 20 reMixes of 2010!!!

Now it’s time for, probably, my favourite list. The meeting of two talents, when it works, is an amazing thing.

This was also, probably, the easiest of the lists to compile. Most of our favourite tunes this year have been reMixes. Our top slot was always a no-brainier, that track has a breakdown and build that still gives me goosebumps after the 300th listen.

It’s our favourite song of the year, the award goes to…
