Panama reMixed by Midnight Magic

Panama

Australian outfit Panama’s Magic isn’t strictly a new track, neither is the reMix from Brooklyn’s Midnight Magic. But the band have just been signed by Future Classic who are set to release the tune properly this month.

Sitting alongside a reMixes from LCD Soundsystem’s Gavin Russon, the Midnight Magic mix is a slick, late night DiscoPop jam. Summery and sexy, Midnight Magic’s mix  glides out of the speaks to permeate every corner of the room with it’s rich piano and cosmic synth squelches. The actual song is quite an airy Indie-Electro tune that lends itself perfectly to a mirrorball spectacular like this. Shuffling hats and a pure Disco bassline keep a rolling groove going, solid and smooth, so the starlight synths can dance around the track. As the title says, it’s Magic.

Fabian Vs. Touch Tone

Fabian Vs. Touch Tone

The change of name seems to have invigorated Touch Tone’s musical output. His début (as Touch Tone) release, Home Away From Home, took everyone by surprise, turning out to be one of the best single of the year and inspiring multiple awesome reMixes. Never one to rest, Mr. Verner has now teamed up with fellow Binary producer, crafter on one of the best Nu-Disco albums in recent years and one part of LexiconDon, Fabian, to drop the massive Soleil Rouge.

If the track needs any explaining, here it is in their own words: “an instrumental soundtrack for the dance floor of a post apocalyptic night club full of neon wearing computer geeks and cyber punks”. Have Fabian and Andrew started frequenting Goth clubs? I’m not sure if this is the usual Industrial hammering that Hollywood would have us believe all clubs will play in the dystopian future, frankly I prefer the Fabian Vs. Touch Tone take on the situation. Soleil Rouge is a huge track with a lead line that stick in your head like glue and some stratospheric soloing. Two of the best producers on the West Coast coming together for tunes like this should happen more often.

A.N.D.Y. reMixes Bodyspasm

Bodyspasm

Premièred on his last mixtape, here is the full length version of, one of Belguim’s hottest properties right now, A.N.D.Y.’s reMix of Bodyspasm’s Twenty Radios. The fellow Belgian’s Twenty Radios single was released in April, now they are gearing up for the release of the reMix package, A.N.D.Y.’s mix is a part of, in this month.

To be honest, the original version as a bit to cheesy Rave for our tastes, the big piercing leads didn’t really do anything for us. A.N.D.Y.’s mix in the other hand keeps all that nonsense in check. With a ‘90’s House bassline at it’s core, A.N.D.Y. blends other elements into this Chicago mix, there’s some of his traditional Belgian Disco in there, some Acid burbling and a brooding ElectroPop breakdown. The finale of the track is a massive, multi-layered testament to A.N.D.Y.’s production skills and love of analog synths. Frankly, this blows the original out of the water.

Shelby Grey’s new single, with Goldroom and Moonchild

shelby1

‘The ever-awesome Holographic People’ are back with a brand new release, which is always something to get excited about. This new single sees the Shelby Grey back in the spotlight. Taken from his awesome The Music Is On His Side album and featuring Cavaliers Of Fun’s Ricco Vitali on vocals. Shelby is dropping an amazing reMix package for Wild Youth.

First up there’s an updated version of the track, more focused on rhythm and riff and extended for your DJing pleasure. Wild Youth is a feel good summer anthem, bursting at the seams with good vibes, it;s a real party starter. Built on an infections piano riff and sparking synths. Vitali’s vocals will be in your head all day too. The reMix package is pure killer, alongside work from Pedro Pantera we find Goldroom, who delivers a surprisingly big reMix, casting aside his usual laid back beach party style, here Goldroom layers the tune with big room riffs and shows he can handle them with ease. Goldroom effortlessly turns the tune into peak-time floorfiller. Moonchild brings the chilled Disco element to table with a bass heavy groove and furiously funky licks. Moonchild turns in the late night jam version of the track. It’s an awesome single package and one that should definitely be checked out.

Ali Jamieson’s ‘Seagulls’

alijamieson

Most of the time Ali Jamieson if feeding you tunes through electronic rumors in his capacity as PR for some of London’s top dance music labels. This isn’t the first time, however, that he has graced these pages directly with his own music, his track seem too few and far between though, so it;s good to see he has another release in the offing. Out next week on Empire State Recordings is his new single Seagulls.

Seagulls is a smooth as hell House track that draws from both ‘90’s Dance tracks and Disco & Funk to create a laid back dreamy vibe with groovy overtones. The scuffling percussions and FM bassline lend the track a distinct early ‘90’s feel with an almost Orbital quality to it. This is accompanied by some soulful soloing that gives the track a loose Disco element that surprises when it kicks in, but soon feels like a natural part of the track. That’s some chilled cosmic sounds for a Tuesday morning.

Ali Jamieson’s Seagulls drops 16th July.

The League Unlimited Orchestra edited by Aeroplane

The League Unlimited Orchestra

The League Unlimited Orchestra’s Love And Dancing is, of course, a The Human League album and not for the first time have the worlds of Nu-Disco legend Aeroplane and The Human League come together. Exciting stuff. So who’s that cheeky chappy in the photo? Well, that (for the 1% of readers of this site who wouldn’t know, but really should) is the late, great, Martin Rushent. He, basically, was The League Unlimited Orchestra. He’s the man who produced the greatest album ever made, The Human League’s Dare from 1981. Pressured by their Record Label for more released Rushent came up with the idea of releasing an record of Dub and Mixes of tracks from Dare, thus inventing the reMix album. A selection of Instrumentals to the untrained ear Love And Dancing is actually full of pretty complex and divergent reMixes. And mostly the work of Rushent.

So, for a long time Vito’s personal edit of the Love And Dancing version of Don’t You Want Me? was a staple of his set, originally put together for a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. Vito leaves the track largely intact, which is why it’s an edit not a reMix, subtly bring out it’s dancefloor qualities and stripping everything that’s not needed in a set. I think Martin would be proud that even now, in 2012, people are still crazy for his tunes.

The Knocks & Fred Falke reMixed by Louis La Roché

The Knocks & Fred Falke

The Knocks & Fred Falke forthcoming Kitsuné released collaboration, Geronimo, is going to be huge. Released next month the entire single, the original and three reMixes, is packed with danceflor destroying work. Our favourite is probably the Lenno reMix, but coming a very close second would be this mix from Louis La Roché that premiered last weekend on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show.

La Roché’s mix heads straight into robo Disco territory. Bringing the Funk to the tune with intricate cut up chords and booming basslines. He really brought his A-Game to the reMix, and also got more into a big Electro frame of mind that we would expect from La Roché. The result being a three-way combination between La Roché’s funky Disco, Big room Electro and the original tracks epic, anthemic, qualities. This one’s going to be huge, but then the whole singe is!

L’Étranger reMixes Alan Braxe & Fred Falke

Alan Braxe & Fred Falke

UK French Touch producer L’Étranger is back in the place with a new reMix. Just a little something to get your mouth watering for his forthcoming two new EPs. This time it’s Alan Braxe & Fred Falke who get the reMix treatment as L’Étranger taken of the Running classic Most Wanted.

It’s pretty weird to think that Running is over a decade old now, both Intro. and Most Wanted are seminal French Touch tunes that still sound as exciting now as they did back then. L’Étranger takes the bouncy French groove and feeds it through some kind of bastard Disco machine. The track has a real ‘70’s Disco vibe, loaded with electro toms and slick piano, but then layers that with a chainsaw synth lead from some in-your-face dancefloor action. Also, don’t they look young in that photo! Hehe.

Yelle reMixed by Gold Fields

yelle

Here’s an unexpected treat, French ElectroPop stars Yelle’s Chimie Physique given a thorough funky going over by Australian Indie-Electro posse Gold Fields. The result is far more Cosmic Disco that we would imagine from a meeting of these two outfits, but it was totally rocked out Friday.

Clocking in at a pretty epic seven minutes, Gold Fields reMix is a big sweeping electronic Disco odyssey. Catchy as hell, both vocally and via the multitude of warm boogie riffs going on in this track. Everything from analog Disco bass to big House piano to SynthPop lead lines, all rolled into a tune you can;t help moving to. At three and a half minutes most tracks have already peaked, but that when Golf Fields only just get going with a huge breakdown that kicks back in with full force. Enjoy.
