Jacques L. Dorsey

JacquesLDorsey

Dug up by the Valerie crew’s blog is this upcoming French producer Jacques L. Dorsey. A Man of mystery with a brand new MySpace the word on the street is that he has some involvement in Daft Punk’s soundtrack for the forthcoming Tron sequel, Tron Legacy.

He’s got that 80’s nightdrive vibe down pat with this mid-tempo synth jam. Steady bass, Simmons toms a lead line to ride through the city streets!

All I need now is a Ferrari, something to brood about and a time machine! Go hit up JLD’s MySpace!

Dragonette03

Indie-electro darlings Dragonette have roped in the talents of Michael Di Francesco of Van She fame under the alias of Arithmatix! for a pumping Nu-Disco killer remix.

Jupiter reMixes Two Door Cinema Club’s new single

TwoDoorCinemaClub02

Man, I absolutely adore Jupiter’s reMix of CHEW LiPS ‘Salt Air’, it made number three in electronic rumors’ top 20 songs of 2009 so I was all up in this reMix of Two Door Cinema Club’s brilliant new single ‘Undercover Martyn’.

Jupiter brings the perfect Electro Disco flavour to the track. Digital slap bass, distorted analog synths and leads that fly out of the tune are all present and correct. Jupiter seems to be able to do no reMix wrong!

‘Undercover Martyn’ is out shortly on Kitsuné Music.

Mille Vs. Fear Of Tigers

What a day for wicked collaborations!

We’ve raved about both Mille and Fear Of Tigers numerous times in the past few months and are exited that Mille has been snapped up by Neon Gold, who apparently, have the best taste in the world. A couple of days ago they dropped Mille’s first 12” ‘Crysteena’.

Combining the best elements of Nu-disco and Dreamwave with massive distorted 8-bit melodies, this track is huge! Fear Of Tigers magic touch beefs up the dancefloor factor so that when those 8-bit leas kick in you just soar away with them.

Tesla Boy reMix Anoraak

Valerie collective staple Anoraak and Russia’s Tesla Boy are both electronic rumors favourites, so the idea of one reMix the other seems just to good to be true, but here it is!

Anoraak’s ‘Nightdrive With You’ hasn’t left my MP3 player since it was released last year, alone with it’s multitude of reMixes, here Tesla Boy do something a bit different, bringing some funky guitars and more of a classic Disco Funk vibe to the ElectroPop tune.

Compare it to the original, those opening keys still send shivers up my spine!

Cavaliers Of Fun

UK based Ricco Vitali A.K.A. Cavaliers Of Fun has been getting quite a bit of hype on the more discerning blogs this week, and well deserved too as he takes on Dreamwave from a slightly left-field position.

Mixing up elements of Dreamwave, Space-Synth and Chiptune, ‘Midnight Resistance’ is a kinda’ ‘what if’ Jean-Michel Jarre was a C64 obsessive who started hanging out with College and the Valerie crew. Are you comfortable with that? Well you won’t be expecting ‘Secret Galaxies’ then, which suddenly swings Cavaliers Of Fun over to the Van She side of Indie-Electro.

Varied, crazy cool, and…well…fun!

Barretso

The dudes over at Trashbags ‘ave only gone and started their own record label, ‘aven’t they?!?!

Tuff Em Up’s first release will be by Chilean synth noodler Barretso and it should be pretty amazing judging by this taster here. ‘Midnight Walk’ will be featured on the ‘Bright City Lights’ EP and is almost perfectly crafted Dreamwave (If you want to call it that), washes of retro synths and arpeggiated basslines and just a hint of soaring lead all wrapped up in a smooth mix.

Pure class.

While you’re waiting for the EP, go give him some MySpace love:

Chromeo; Bubblegum Sci-Fi reMix

I love Chromeo’s ‘Night By Night’. I’ve also loved most of the reMixes of it.

I also loved Bubblegum Sci-Fi’s reMix of Passion Pit’s ‘The Reeling’.

So, Bubblegum Sci-Fi remixing ‘Night By Night’ is pretty much a no-brainer!

Huge buzzsaw synths pump through this sweet robodisco floorfiller. I’m really diggin’ what he’s done to the chorus, the stuttering lead line seems to give the vocals a different rhythm.

‘Night By Night’ is out now!

Get Stellar

What is it with Australians and Indie-Disco? The whole country seems like a music factory!

Next up is Get Stellar, hailing from Adelaide this duo have just dropped their first EP, ‘This Moment’, which features reMixes from the likes of G.L.O.V.E.S., Def Starr and Nick Supply.

The track itself is a infectious bassline fuelled Nu-Disco stormer that get’s taken to the next Disco level by reMixer extraordinaire G.L.O.V.E.S. who drops string and stabs all over the place. Def Starr’s reMix is slightly more chilled with a summery clubby vibe.

Some CHEW LiPS to tide you over

I honestly don’t think I can wait any more! CHEW LiPS’ début album, ‘Unicorn’, drops in a mere matter of days now!

I know you all feel the same, so to tide you over here is a brand new reMix of CL’s forthcoming single ‘Play Together’ by London’s DJ Jocks which completely changes the song, giving it a early 90’s disco flavour. The FM arpeggiated bassline makes me think of the Arthur Baker reMix of Pet Shop Boys’ ‘In The Night’ (from The Clothes Show!)

‘Unicorn’ can be pre-ordered from CHEW LiPS’ store here.
