ComboStar’s ‘Free’

combostar

It looks like Parisian Disco duo ComboStar are back for good. After breaking back on the scene earlier this year with the hit and miss ‘Combostella’ EP, ComboStar finally re-find their groove with their new single, again on La Valigetta, ‘Free’.

Featuring Mani Hoffman (the voice if The Supermen Lovers’ classic ‘Starlight’) on vocals ‘Free’ is a big DiscoPop anthem that finds it’s core in squelchy synth Funk bass, a piano hook and a big, full vocal. Poppier than anything on the previous EP, this track has got breakthrough potential, and if that’s not enough the reMix package is pretty stellar. The ‘Club Edit’ of the original works in a little more dancefloor power, make the track even more epic while the singles lad reMix comes from Louis La Roché, who delivers a nice twisted Disco mix. Funk style synths join forces with some soaring lead lines for a heavy slice of Disco with a breezy sheen. Second Date take the track down a deep House route with a real warehouse vibe. It even makes the vocals sound a bit more Chicago. Timo Juuti & Hector 87 fill the huge French Disco quote on the single with an impressive five minutes of boogie which might be the records standout mix. It keeps the song itself intact, but incorporates it into a danceflor destroying slab of cut-up Disco. ComboStar may be about to put out the record to re-insert them into the minds of dance music lovers worldwide.

Lueur Verte reMixes DiscoRazor

DiscoRazor

Out this week is the new single from French SynthWave/Nu-Disco producer DiscoRazor, Golden Night’. Alongside reMixes from Judgement Dernier and Paul! you’ll find this tasty mix from the one and only Lueur Verte.

Lueur Verte brings his typical style of powerful, driven SynthWave to the track with a track worthy of soundtracking the most climactic of action sequences in the best of ‘80’s cinema. With a sense of urgency the track rolls forward, carried along by a punchy Italo bassline and some starlight synths. There’s a nice bit of digital guitar in there too to give the track some oomph, but ultimately the track wins out through Lueur Verte vintage sound and his attention to melody. The Frenchman keeps getting better and better.

New single from Aminova

Aminova

It’s been ages since we last wrote about Cardiff based SynthWave producer Aminova, so with the release of his new double A-side single, ‘Body Double’/’Party Cops’ we thought now was the prefect time to revisit one of the UK’s most underrated producers.

‘Body Double’ is a piercing, driving slice of classic SynthWave. Drawing from both the Outrun and Italo end of things, Aminova crafts a tune that is both full of urgent dancefloor energy and rousing, emotional melodies. The way the lead lines switch from staccato riffs to rushing arpeggios and back again give the all too short track a real feeling for forward progression. the flip side, ‘Party Cops’ is definitely more on the Italo tip. With more of an ‘80’s Electro Funk groove ‘Party Cops’ is a call to dance. The bassline and arpeggios are actually quite reminiscent of mid-‘80’s electronic Soul, but layered with buzzsaw retro synth chords and an Italo beat the whole thing come across as a slightly chaotic, exciting, and again all too short, party starter. This sweet double A-Side single is available for free, you really can’t go wrong at that price, so what are you waiting for, go get it!

Clancy’s new single

clancy

It’s always a good day when something pops-up to tell you you’ve got mail from Rich Clancy, he always brings us the very best Dreamwave and Nu-Disco. But here’s we are with his new single, ‘Lightbox’ and it seems that the man has shrugged the Dreamwave and Nu-Disco aside, for this release at least, in favour of something altogether deeper, something more Housey.

And it works for him, not that his production chops were ever in doubt, and going back to his last release, the chilled ‘Bring You Joy’ a few months ago, you can kinda’ see the Disco to House progression occurring. So what does ‘Lightbox’ hold? Well, it’s a classic dance track, we’re definitely hearing elements of early ‘90’s House in there, it’s got a very Orbital sunrise feel to it. It’s an intricately crafter tune, with many layers going on, all of which sit together effortlessly and it’s probably the best thing we’ve heard this year on the blissed out House tip. If Clancy is releasing a string of singles over the summer the this summer could end up being extremely chilled and pretty euphoric,

Lenno reMixes Gracias

Gracias

Here’s a new reMix from one of our favourite current Nu-Disco producers, The Finnish Lenno. Originally recorded for a re-cap video of a Nike event in Helsinki, the man has now made it available to download from his Facebook page.

We briefly check out out the original, it’s well done, but pretty standard Hip Hop from Gracias called ‘40k Volts’. Lenno has stripped it down to it’s barest essentially, keeping just the occasional snatched of vocal and the rebuilt it as a main room Nu-Disco stormer. Lenno has such a huge peak time sound that is fast becoming his trademark. Dropping an extra bit of House piano into the mix, Lenno actives an even fuller track, and a groove that is guaranteed to keep the dancefloor moving. Isn’t it about time for a new Lenno EP? We definitely think so.

The Penelopes reMixed by Gigamesh & Style Of Eye

The Penelopes

No sooner had ElectroPoppers The Penelopes premiered their forthcoming new single ‘Summer Life’ than we are treated to this first reMixes of the track, from Dreamwave genius Gigamesh and Swedish bass master Style Of Eye.

Style Of Eye’s mix is a big droning bass monster, balancing the airy nature of the track and his own high-octane Rave but combining floaty arpeggios and storming hands-in-the-air synths he turns the ElectroPop track into a full-on party starter. Gigamesh, on the other hand, wows us with his slick Disco. Giving the track a little extra Funk, Gigamesh layers infectious bass with waves of shimmering synth work and truly makes a track for the summer. The use of the vocals, tailored to Gigamesh’s tune, switches the track around a little, whist the original was for lazy reminiscing, this mic is for dancing in the sunshine. We’re really looking forward to seeing what else the reMix package holds.

Mirror People reMixes Munk

Munk

Portuguese prodigy, Mr. Rui Maia, A.K.A. Mirror People has dropped another of his bouncy electronic Funk reMixes, this time in the form of Gomma man Munk’s ‘Kitchen Call’ from his excellent ‘The Bird And The Beat’ album of last year.

Rui get’s a bit of Moroder in his blood for this reMix. Laden with popping analog synth bass and the subtlest snatches of vocal from the almost Hip Hop original. Replacing the breakbeat with a solid Disco groove this reMix rolls along, dragging you with it to the dancefloor, until the solo hits, then it just soars away. It’s definitely about time for a new Mirror People EP, don’t you think?
