ATTAR! & Citizens!

Citizens!

What happens when you get more than one band with an exclamation point in their name together? Is that like dividing by zero? Well, hold on to something just in case 50% of mustang, ATTAR!, is reMixing London Indie-ElectroPop crew and Kitsuné’s new darlings, Citizens!. !!!.

There’s a nice meeting of two things that are a perfect fit going on here. First there is Renaud Deru deep, analog sounding, stripped down Disco, which draws it’s groove DNA from ‘80’s dance, then there is Citizens!’s singer Tom’s slick ‘80’s vocal style, part Gary Numan, part Peter Murphy. The meeting of the two seems like a match made in heaven. This is glorious retroPop at it’s finest.

♫ Citizens! – Reptile (ATTAR! reMix)

‘Reptile’ is released today on Kitsuné Music.

Sohight’s new EP

Sohight

We’ve featured Russian producers Sohight a few times before and always loved his tunes, so it;s good to bee Kiez Beats picking them up and dropping this massive single, ‘High School’

For this record they’ve teamed up with single Cheevy to produce one of the largest retro ElectroPop tracks we’ve heard in awhile. This thing is epic. The biggest sounding drums, the fattest synth sounds and passionate vocals belted out all make up the kind of huge nostalgic Dreamwave ElectroPop that we haven’t heard a lot of in the last few months. This’ll more than make up for that! Amongst the reMix package is Final DJs take on the track, which sees them bring that brand of Funky SynthWave to the tune. Their retro synths really capture the mood of the tune and they let loose midway with some killer soloing. Jesse Oliver steps up to reMix too, with an awesome mix that sounds a little like something Fear Of Tigers would come up with.

G.L.O.V.E.S. reMixes Mr. Jigga

Mr. Jigga

Is it just me or has it been ages since we last heard from G.L.O.V.E.S.? It seems like, but fear not as he;’s back with this reMix of Mr. Jigga’s ‘Won’t U B Mine?’.

This track was featured on Plastic Plates’ February mix and we’ve been eager to hear the whole thing since them. It’s was immediately standout with it’s coursing, infectious bass riff and smooth vocals. Tropical with a dirty twist, G.L.O.V.E.S. has managed to create a track that has all the slick, sexy, beach party groove you want but with a gritty rawness to it.

Housse De Racket & Hey Champ!

HousseDeRacket

It’s all happening for Housse De Racket right now. They’re about to embark on a big North American tour and their single ‘Chateau’ is about to drop on Kitsuné .

‘Chateau’  is one of the highlight of their ‘Alésia’ album and the reMix package looks like it’s going to be storming. This reMix from Chicago gang Hey Champ! is the sweetest of sweet big Disco sounds. Big ‘70’s Disco stabs and wicked guitar licks make up the groove quota for this tune while the whole thing is made massive with thick, lush strings. The original vocal is treated to a fair amount of chopping, which Hey Champ! use perfectly to keep the energy up.

♫ Housse De Racket – Chateau (Hey Champ! reMix)

The ‘Château’ single will be “out soon” on Kitsuné Music.

Cosmonaut Grechko reMixes Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Benjamin Francis Leftwich

With over 24,000 ‘likes’ on Facebook I feel kinda’ like I should know who Benjamin Francis Leftwich is. but I don’t. On fist glance he appears to be a reasonably talented, but dreary, Folky singer, the kind that is hard to get away from these days. No matter, Cosmonaut Grechko to the rescue as he takes BFL’s track of last year ‘Box Of Stones’ and makes it something exciting and beautiful.

Grechko’s talent consistently amazes us, this reMix is just inspired. Francis Leftwich’s vocals take on a whole new lease of life in Grechko’s hands, giving the an injection of adrenaline and and IV drip of emotion. A smooth summer Dreamwave groove and some shiny synth flourishes weave in and out of the cut-up vocals to create the perfect sunshine track. Full of feeling, full of optimism, Grechko nails it once again.

♫ Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Box Of Stones (Cosmonaut Grechko Discoteque Mix)

Grechko’s main reMix is available of the deluxe version of Benjamin Francis Leftwich’s album.
