Casio Social Club’s ‘Nordic Nights’

casiosocialclub11

Here we have the new single from Justin Winks, A.K.A. Casio Social Club. This time not on his own (and pretty awesome) Mullet Records imprint but as part of the first in a series of double A-side released from Eskimo Recordings. CSC shares this release with Djuma Soundsystem Vs. Kolombo, who’s downtempo Disco has got a good groove, but unsurprisingly Casio steals the show.

Mr. Winks has been quietly dropping a sting of ace tunes recently, ‘Rock The Discotheque’ is still regularly played round electronic rumors towers. ‘Nordic Nights’, Casio Social Clubs contribution to the double A-side, is a nice pumping, but quite deep, dancefloor tune that draws on both Disco and House influences and wraps them up in Casio Social Clubs‘ nostalgic Electro Boogie. Riding on a deep synthetic bassline and bright, shimmering, chords ‘Nordic Nights’ does seem to capture a bit of a Scandinavian flavour alongside keeping it retro with big electro tom rolls and even bringing a beach part vibe with some Tropical percussion. Casio Social Club has dropped yet another track destined to move the dancefloor with his rolling retro sound.

Grum reMixes Mary Epworth

Mary Epworth

After a period or relative quite,  Grum is back in the game. hot on the heels of his reMix from Lonsdale Boys Club a couple of weeks ago he’s keeping the momentum going with this new reMix for British singer/songwriter Mary Epworth. Epworth has already been reMixed by a host of awesome names and getting Grum in on the game, one of the pioneers of the Dreamwavey end of Nu-Disco, is the icing on the cake.

Grum’s reMix of ‘Long Game’ sees him continue to walk the part toward the a big room sound, not that he wasn’t always a purveyor of huge, uplifting tunes. If fact, I would go so far as to say this new sound Grum is flirting with is Nu-Disco in a Euphoric Trance mould, it basically has the arrangement of a hands-in-the-air Trance track but with more of a Disco groove, just a little bit more. Because really this is a big Trance track, and a really good one too, perfect for a peak time moment and Mary Epworth’s vocals play right into that. Grum is going huge, the future is his.

Final DJs reMix Kris Menace

kris-menace

Germany’s Final DJs are at it again, dropping another awesome slice of blissed out SynthWave, just in time for the weekend. This time it’s in the form if a brand new reMix of Kris Menace’s Kiki Twins featuring ‘We Are’.

Final DJs bring their smooth night-drive synthesizer love to the tune, an early entry in the ‘We Are’ reMix competition. I’m sure we’re going to see a flood of ‘We Are’ reMixes but I seriously doubt that many will top Final DJs quality. The tune is loaded with subtle influences, a slight Italo feel, a gently French Touch sheen, all folded into FDJs Synthy goodness. It’s a big diva vocal track, and FDJs never make it compete with the music, the laid back urban Electro acting as a compliment, working in harmony with the vocals to create a deep late-nights-in-the-city groove. They couldn’t resist adding one of their trademark solo in there too, this one is particularity buzzin’.

Oxford’s new tune

Oxford

The Frenchman has does it again. Oxford, who weirdly keeps quite a low profile despite being one of the most talented producers on the Nu-Disco and Dreamwave scene, has dropped another bombshell summer jam. This is pure synthesized good times.

‘Flashlight’ is exactly that, a light in the dark. A rolling Funk bassline pulsates it’s way through the track, deep and low, while lush, sidechaned, synths create a nice nostalgic mood. But it’s the soloing that really makes this track fly. First up, in the breakdown, we’re treated to a lovely piano interlude which soon seugeways into a wicked synth funk solo before bringing us back to the groove. Oxford really needs to release an EP soon, we demand it!

Stop The Car

Stop The Car

Stop The Car is a new producer from Manchester making some seriously Funky sounds. That’s at least, what six, up-and-coming producers from that part of the country who are making some serious sounds, what are they putting in the water there?. Strap in for some synthetic Disco that’s guaranteed to make toy  move.

There’s an obvious daft Punk influence to Stop The Car’s work, but whist that sound definitely shines though I never got the feeling, listening to his three tracks, that he wanted to be, or to emulate Daft Punk. There’s a bit of LA Beach Disco in there too and a sprinkling of the harder side of French Touch, all wrapped up to carve out groove all of his own. ‘Fanfare’ leads the way, with it’s slick synthetic Disco where ChipTune-esque warbles rub shoulders with lush Disco strings and some Funky slab bass and stabs compel you to dance. ‘Enamel’ takes things to a smoother place. Gentle cut-up vocals and a laid back groove work together to make the track insanely infectious. ‘Entropy’ rounds things off with a deep Funk. It’s a serious chunk of cut-up vocoded Disco with probably the biggest helping of Nu-Disco of the three. Stop The Cat has kicked things off in explosive style and is definitely a name to watch for the future. Bringing the Robo back to Disco.

Shook reMixes Capital Cities

capital-cities

LA Indie-Dreamwave duo Capital Cities have become a bit of a mainstay here on electronic rumors in the last couple of years. We covered their latest single ‘Kangaroo Court’ back in March but now the EP is out it;s time to check out a reMix from one of the most musically talented Nu-Disco producers working today. Shook.

Shook channels all his ability into capturing the Funky side of Capital Cities home town. this is a huge slick of pure LA Funk and the Dutch producer works it like he was a native. this kind of pure groove is Shook at his best, it’s where his musicality is allows to shine though and it’s the reason people are lining up to work with him. The original’s upbeat Indie-Disco is reined in and told to ‘chill the fuck out’ resulting in some amazing, slick, west cost vibes. Thick Moogy basses and twisting Disco licks are the order of the day here.

♫ Capital Cities – Kangaroo Court (Shook reMix)

‘Kangaroo Court’ is released this week on Lazy Hooks.

Russ Chimes’ new single

Russ Chimes

Producer extraordinaire  Russ Chimes’ new track débuted on Pete Tong’s show last week, and we completely missed it! If you’re a long time reader of the site you’ll know how much we dig Mr. Chimes’ work, to the point where he has won numerous end of year awards. We have been awaiting eagerly his new single. So, yeah, here it is.

And it doesn’t disappoint. ‘Back 2 You’ sums up what we love about Russ’ music. He never sticks with the same sound, having made his name with big Disco tracks before branching out into more Rave oriented tunes and now gearing up for the release of this Disco tinged House track, but always carries his complex production and rich musicality into whatever he does. ‘Back 2 You’ rides on a hammering bassline, punching it’s way through the mix and providing a dancefloor trance for a whole host of elements to play over. Vocal snatches, big synth stabs, crazy percussion, even a bit of 8-bit madness are all in the mix and Russ juggles every peice of the puzzle with ease. This is how you make dance music.

♫ Russ Chimes – Back 2 You (Radio Rip)

‘Back 2 You’ is released in May.
