CHEW LiPS; new non-album track!

It’s that time again, for one of the greatest UK Electro acts around, CHEW LiPS, to kindly give away another free track to coincide with the last of their regular club nights.

This time there’s a twist though, while previous giveaways have been taster of what to expect on their painfully anticipated for coming album, this tune ‘Rising Tide’ won’t be featured on the release and the band have put it up online for a limited time only.

The music here has got an almost Yazoo flavour which works perfectly with Tig’s vocals.

As a bonus, here’s FC Kahuna’s reMix of last months free track ‘Slick’:

The album will be out at the start of next year preceded by the single ‘Seven’ in January.

Steed Lord; ‘Royal Ruffian’ reMix

Iceland’s crazy bassheads Steed Lord have dropped their own reMix of ‘Royal Ruffian’ taken from their album ‘Truth Serum’.

It’s a hell of a lot heavier than the original (now that the original was lightweight!), the lead synths and vocoders remain but the beats and bass hammer through the speakers.

Go check out ‘Truth Serum’ in all it’s Nu-Rave glory!

A relativly old tune here, but one I’ve been playing all day so you’re just going to have to put up with it!

Straight outta’ the Valerie collective College reMixed by 1928.

Just listen, fantastic noisy retro synth!

Acid Washed

Parisian mystery duo Acid Washed recently dropped their début EP ‘General Motors, Detroit, America’ and the title track is a crazy, random, acidic Disco track that is so way out there yet so brilliant at the same time. Love it when the beat kicks in!

Blackstrobe is just one of a few name contributing reMixes and they take the originals spacey arpeggio and force it to conform to their Nu-Disco banger!

New datA single!

7th December sees the release of the second single from datA’s fantastic album ‘Skywriter’.

Following on from the massive ‘One In a Million’, ‘Electric Fever’ isn’t quite as poppy but it’s a Nu-Disco stormer that is guaranteed to fill floors. Parisian duo Acid Washed, amongst others, take on reMix duties here and smother the track in synth bass and cowbell goodness! Check the acid breakdown:

Gatekeeper

If the Valerie crew are obsessed with 80’s teen and Sci-Fi movies then Chicago’s Gatekeeper must feel similarly about 80’s horror flicks.

50% hypnotic Electro-House and 50% John Carpenter-esq horror themes, Gatekeeper are the dark side of Dreamwave. The tracks have a sense of a mid 80’s industrial influence to them as well, kinda’ like an instrumental Skinny Puppy reMixed by Russ Chimes!

Whether your a fan of 80’s movie themes, dark Electronic music or the current crop of 80’s influenced Electro-House there is defiantly something for you here.

‘Optimus Maximus’ is the title track of Gatekeeper’s current EP, out now on Fright Records

The Golden Filter return

What a day! Kicking off with new Shy Child and rounding up with the new single from The Golden Filter!

‘Thunderbird’ is their second single after the fantastic début ‘Sold Gold’ earlier this year and it doesn’t fail to live up to the high expectations that were set. It’s got that Golden Filter bass, those Disco drums and the floaty vocals that ‘Solid Gold’ had but manages to be a completely different sounding song, with a different atmosphere, more edgy.

If you loved ‘Solid Gold’, you’ll love this. End of.

♫ The Golden Filter – Thunderbird (zShare) (MediaFire)

The ‘Thunderbird’ 12” comes out on November 16th.

Music Go Music & Fred Falke

Oh man, this is one smooth Nu-Disco jam! The always quality Fred Falke has brought the funk to LA avant-garde popsters Music Go Music.

Clocking in at just over eight minutes it’s an epic, funky, electronic journey (and mildly shorter than the original!) that dips and peaks in all the right places.

‘Warm In The Shadows’ is out on Secretly Canadian:
