Delaney Bishop directs this freaky ladies get-together come paper headed goat ceremony. I don;t know what’s going on, but it looks like most people are having a good time, and that’s what counts.
Nite Jewel’s ‘One Second Of Love’ album is released 6th March.

ElectroPop crooner Sam Sparro’s latest single, ‘Happiness’ has been given a right good synthetic Disco going over from Belgium’s finest; The Magician.
I wouldn’t have immediately thought Sparro’s neo-Erasure style would have played this well with Fasano’s sound, but it really does, so well. The reMix managers to keep this funky and play up to the drama of Sparro’s vocals with a 242-esque bouncy bass and some chilling, buy funky, synths. This is probably the deepest track The Magician has put out to date and it just shows he’s not a one trick pony.
♫ Sam Sparro – Happiness (The Magician reMix)
‘Happiness’ is taken from Sam Sparro’s forthcoming new album, ‘Return To Paradise’, out 27th May.

London based Australian/German singer/songwriter, with a cheeky preference for ElectroPop, Christa Vi,’s single ‘Your Heart’ finally sees release in March.
‘Your Heart’ is a track that’s best described as “really enjoyable”. It’s got everything you’d want from a summer Pop hit. Lyrically and vocally the track is shot through with a strain of melancholy, but the track retains a light, catchy air that is pretty infectious and will worm it’s way into your brain. We featured the Show Your Shoe reMix a while back but it’s worth revisiting as Nico nails it here with his trademark funky bass, big strings and musicality above and beyond that of many of his peers. The UK Funky quota is delivered by Reggie Pepper, who drops a deep, Housey take on the track, hypnotic bass and addictive grooves abound. ‘Your Heart’ is a confident début from Christa, and one that gives us the feeling we’ll probably be hearing a lot more from her in future.

Here’s the latest slice of Nu-Disco to come out of the Champagne Records stable. This time stepping up to bat it’s Camaro Kids taking wailing ‘80’s guitar to the Disco.
The ‘Back To The night’ EP is a five track monster of Hair Metal Funk, weaving screaming riffs with dirty cut-up grooves in a way we haven’t really heard single Xinobi’s ‘Varial Kickflip’. From the EP’s self-titled opener its a strong release, full of infectious beats and nostalgic fun. This is full-on, high octane, pretty batshit insane, dancefloor craziness. Let the ‘Back To The Night’ EP guide you into your weekend.

Belgian producer Mickey may be a relative newcomer but he always brings his A-game, as he does on his latest mix, Housse De Racket’s forthcoming new single, ‘Château’.
Taken from Housse De Racket’s amazing ‘Alésia’ album, It’s a cool track to begin with, but when Mickey lays down that analog bass, like he does, the track becomes indie robo Disco gold. The understated blend of the bass, a subtle piano and lush strings with Housse De Racket’s Parisian Indie vocals make for a tack that seems not to try to impress, but does so naturally. It’s going to be quite a year for this Belgian producer, one that will see the name Mickey gaining more and more traction.

Moullinex’s latest awesome Disco workout is a reMix of Swedish singer/songwriter and synth fiddler Karin Park’s ‘Fryngies’.
It;s the second single from her forthcoming new album ‘High Wire Poetry’ and Moullinex goes all out to wash the icy, Dubby, ElectroPop with a low-down groove. You wouldn’t have immediately though that the chilly, razor sharp synths of the original could be given such a warm Tropical make-over but Moullinex brings in a Funking bassline, a shuffling beat and some chiming synths and take Karin to the beach, whether she likes it or not!

Woo-hoo! It’s new Ronika single time! Ron’s been really busy recently, running all over the place doing stuff for, amongst others, the Red Bull Music Academy, Shook and Me, how she’s crammed in the time to get her groove back on with a new EP I have no idea. The girl’s a workaholic, or a grooveaholic if you will.
‘Automatic’ is PopJustice song-of-the-day today, PJ claims Ronika isn’t from the ‘80’s but I’m not convinced. Frankly I’m not sure what is actually more likely, that someone can make tracks this good, and this authentically ‘80’s DiscoPop or that someone could have invented a time machine in secret sometime around 1983/84. With ‘Automatic’ Ron has dropped a massive slab of Pop-Funk with an addictive bassline, a catchy chorus and a solo that flies. It’s not all retro goodness though, there’s enough modern elements in the track to keep it sounding contemporary, inn fact, it sounds like a Nu-Disco edit of ‘80’s Pop hit. Also 5 Star.

Ronika is stepping out in the next couple of months, catch her here:
22nd March – Manchester @ The Castle

Semi-interesting tid-bit, our original post about French big room Nu-Disco wunderkind Madeon is our third most viewed article of all time! Since then, with a bit of promotion from Deadmau5 and a lightning fingered YouTube video the guy has blown up.
Listening to ‘Icarus’, his new single you are immediately remained why. I don;t want to dwell on “oh my god, how young is he to be producing like this”, but oh my god, how young is he to be producing like this. He’s got both the music talent and production ability of to take on any seasoned artist with years under their belt. ‘Icarus’ is pure French Touch, Disco gold, the guy knows exactly how to whip the dancefloor up into a frenzy, but keeps a beautiful musicality to his work too. Essential stuff.

This has been floating around for a while now, it’s been playlisted here a lot so I have no excuse as to why we haven’t posted it before. We featured the original of Picture Book and Greta Svabo Bech’s ‘Sunshine’ a while back but just never got round to pimping the awesome Justin Faust reMix.
Well, the man has just posted it to his SoundCloud account, so what better time to rectify our oversight. We thought the original was a really catchy track, but a little to Euphoric fluff for our tastes, but Mr. Faust rectifies that perfectly. It’s the same catchy, infectious tune, but with a backing of that wonderful Justin Faust synth Disco goodness. Everything about this track from the bouncy Disco bass to the smooth solo make you smile. It’s a really good vocal, Greta has an interesting inflection to her voice that’s pretty involving, in our opinion Faust has done the vocal more justice than the original.
