The return of Lé Lé, this time in English

Le_Le_Press_Pic

In January we posted about some brand new, and long awaited, material from Rimer London‘s  Lé Lé. The track was ‘Neen’, an insanely catchy track despite being in Dutch.

Now Lé Lé have dropped the track in English, now translated to ‘No’, in preparation for the release of their third album ‘Party Time’. This new version is every bit as infection, the bass every bit as bouncy, the melody every bit as hypnotic, only this time us poor English speakers can sing along with it to. Rimmer London is one of out favourite producers, his analog Disco works so well with MC Faberyayo droll rhymes and addictive choruses. While you’re here check out their tongue-in-cheek cover of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You’. Whitney never sounded so robotic.

Lé Lé – No

ATTAR! reMixes Nteibint

Nteibint

ATTAR! certainly is making a statement with his first back of solo reMixes, letting us all know what we can expect form him in future, and this mix of Greek Nu-Disco producer Nteibint’s forthcoming single ‘Morning Breeze’ helps to set the tone.

Everything about this mix, from the jump up percussion to the epic synth solos is so meticulously crafter. ATTAR!’s attention to detail, and the lining of his tracks with complex, intertwining programming makes him rise to the top of the pack. Combining a Disco groove with his deep 80’s analog sounds is becoming his trademark, and one we hope to hear a lot more from, it’s an awesome combination.

Black Magic Disco’s new EP

Black Magic Disco

London based producer Black Magic Disco is about to release his new single, ‘Downtown’ on Pole Position Recordings. Prepare for the Funk to be brought!

‘Downtown’ is a massive slice of Electro Boogie with a Moog-esque bassline that squelches and funks it’s way through the track like a Disco steamroller. And the awesome solid groove isn’t even the best bit, oh no, this tune is washed in subtle vocoding and some truly cosmic melodies and may be one of the best Cosmic Disco tracks I’ve heard this year. It doesn’t stop there though, one of our favourite producers ODahl steps up to work his magic on the track with some slick synthed Dreamwave ripe for the dancefloor and the normally more laid back Satin Jackets deliver a wicked 80’s synth Funked out Nu-Disco groover. The single also hold ‘First Avenue’ an inner city Disco B-side and a reMix from CRAM.

Voyager’s ‘Lovers’

voyager

The Wearerussians.com collective is just going from strength to strength and fast becoming the focal point for the Russian retro synth scene. Their latest release is the new single from Voyager.

Voyager are the duo of Dmitry Filimonov and Anton Shato from our favourite Russian city, Saint Petersburg, and they are making some pretty sweet funky analog ElectroPop. With ‘Lovers’ Voyager, like many of their W.A.R. contemporaries take a Dreamwave slant to their tunes with lush synth pads and an 80s styling, but there’s also a uniqueness to their combination of big nostalgic Electro and introspective ElectroPop, which is where the melodies come from. Add to that some crooning vocals and the result is something apart from the crowd. The EP, which is free by the way, comes loaded with reMixes. Our favourites are The Frost instrumental take, a peak time Nu-Disco tune that’s the floor-filler of the package, Serj V smooth, funk laden, beach Disco mix, full of filtered goodness,  and Phalanxes Of fingers stripped back SynthPop version, which is RoboPop at it’s finest.

La Zebra & Reflex

zebra remixes

Hot on the heels of their bass slappin’, hard funkin’ single ‘A.S.S. (After School Special)’, LA Disco producer La Zebra are about to drop a reMix EP of staggering proportions.

Alongside some huge reMixes from the likes of  Xinobi and Tobtok is this mix from the Parisian ElectroPop duo who’s name is on everybody’s lips, Reflex. Reflex wash the track in their own particular band of groove laden retro Pop. Carving out it’s own niche against Xinobi’s awesomely twisted Nu-Disco, Tobtok’s cut-up dancefloor monster and Ecxellior’s masses pleasing banger, this reMix stands out as taking the track down a different route, heavy on the sweet ‘80’s synth lines and pulsing Electro Funk basslines. The whole reMix EP makes for some seriously body moving listening.

La Zebra – A.S.S. (After School Special) (Reflex reMix)

The ‘After School Special’ reMixes EP is released 10th April on La Valigetta.
