Punks Jump Up’s new EP

Punks Jump Up

At the end of this month London Electro duo Punks Jump Up, riding on the success of ‘Blockhead’ and ‘Chimes Pt. 1’, drop their latest EP for Kitsuné Music.

The ‘Get Down (Special CCCrash Mixxx)’ EP contains six tracks of straight-up dancefloor grooves lead my by the amazingly catchy title track. This ‘Special CCCrash Mixxx’ is a melting pot of retro dance influences, pouring in bits of Acid House, bits of Disco, bits of Chicago House and a Funk vocal to make a party starter that’s bound to be working it’s magic all summer. The remaining five reMixes have something for everyone. ElectroPop gurus JBAG give the track a sweet ‘80’s sheen with some nostalgic stabs, this is probably the stand out reMix for me. Alex Gopher turns the Acid aspects of the tune up to eleven and drops a slow building burbler with some killer drops. OK, so you know a Fare Soldi is going to be a bit madcap, and the truly deliver here with some funk fuelled bassline chaos. The surprise of the EP, for me, was Zero Cash’s mixture of vintage synth bass and early ‘90’s House that works so well and creates a really rounded mood. Definitely be keeping an ear of Zero Cash in future. Deadstock 33s close the EP with a deep hypnotic dub version with just a hint of cosmic Disco to leave you with. All-in-all the EP is a winner, six varied reMixes with no real duds in there, how often does that happen?

The ‘Get Down (Special CCCrash Mixxx)’ EP is released 30th January on Kitsuné Music.

Goldroom’s ‘Angeles’

Goldroom

Yesterday Goldroom, known to the rest of us as one of Binary’s head-honchos Josh Legg, released his début EP.

Leading the EP is new track ‘Angels’, a supremely laid back track with a tropical Disco feel. The percussion alone is something to make you sit up. Making some brave sonic moves within Disco, Josh makes each one of them pay off by creating a chilled beach-party groove with a live quality that’s not so easy for an electronic musician to capture. Layer that with Josh’s vocals, which he always layers thick to create really sweeping harmonies, and you’ve got a track which I imagine, completely personifies the ideal of it’s subject matter.

Metronomy Vs. Le Crayon & Oxford

metronomy

Le Crayon & Oxford, two top quality Nu-Disco producers in their own right, join forces to take on the Indie-Electro powerhouse that is Metronomy. The results are funking good.

This twosome lay down an easy groove which gives the , now instantly recognisable, tune a new spin. With sidechaned pumping French House and slick Disco licks set to a relaxed tempo Le Crayon & Oxford deliver a song to allow you to take a step back from all your stresses. You thought ‘Heartbreaker’ was played out? here’s a new lease of life.

PNAU’s new ‘Unite Us’ package

PNAU

PNAU’s anthemic ElectroPop single ‘Unite Us’ gets a brand new reMix package next month courtesy of Ministry Of Sound. The infectious summer soon-to-be-hit is backed with a whole host of awesome versions.

We’ve got to mention Kris Menace’s reMix first, the french Touch master works his magic on the track and brings out everything epic about it. The track is quite stripped down for a Menace track, but it is just right in all the right places. Those looking for something a bit harder on the dancefloor should check out Tommy Trash’s Electro-House juggernaut. The rest of the reMixes come in flavours ranging from Euphoric to Dubstep from names like Wideboys, Douster & Savage Skulls and Wookie. Looks like, in one form or another, you’ll be hearing a lot of this throughout the warmer months.

Francophilippe’ new album

Francophilippe

Champagne Records bare back with another awesome, and free, release. Newcastle Nu-Disco producer Francophilippe delivers a whole album of funked up cuts.

‘Fonkophile’ is a collection of his works to date and perfectly shows off his slick Disco sound. The album contains 14 tracks and each one displays Francophilippe talent for combining the traditional smooth Nu-Disco sound with the kind of chopped-up Ed Banger-esque French Electro of SebastiAn. ‘Fonkophile’ is a pretty prolific collection of two years work, if I had one tiny, tiny complaint it’s that Francophilippe can occasionally be heavy handed with his Sidechaining, going beyond the desired effect and sounding like the track is being dunked in and out of a swimming pool, but that’s just nit-picking really. All-in-all ‘Fonkophile’ is an awesome release.

♫ Francophilippe – Le Fonk

♫ Francophilippe – Stargazer

‘Fonkophile’ is available now from Champagne Records’ SoundCloud.

Monsieur Adi reMixes Justice

justice

Thankfully, despite Justice’s new album, ‘Audio, Video, Disco’, being disappointing and more than a little bland there is still a wealth of material that is just ripe for reMixing, and we can think of no-one better than Monsieur Adi for the job.

Adi injects the tune with his trademark bombast , slowly building and layering in what could almost be described as deep Electro Gospel which beats the original’s Prog Rock hands down. Strangely, Adi’s French Touch and Strings approach seems to capture the feel of the track better than the original ever did.

♫ Justice – Ohio (Monsieur Adi reMix)

‘Ohio’ is taken from Justice’s album, ‘Audio, Video, Disco’, out now.

Final DJs’ ‘One Day In The Sun’

finaldjs

Well, finally. Someone has snapped up Germany’s Final DJs for a proper release, luckily it was Franck at On The Fruit, so we can expect great things.

Their début single will be released soon, in the meantime check out their new track ‘One Day In The Sun’ which sees the usually SynthWave Final DJs getting their Disco Funk on with wicked little Disco licks and a bouncy bassline. they don’t leave the SynthWave completely behind though, as you’ll hear when the skyrocketing solo kicks in. Can’t wait for the single.

MiGHty mOUse take on Kate Bush’s ‘Cloudbusting’

kate bush

you’d have though by now if you’d heard one version of Kate Bush often reMixes ‘Cloudbusting’, you’d have heard them all. Well, thankfully along comes MiGHty mOUse to do something fresh and give the track a new lease of life.

Dropping a slow building slice of Moroder Disco with little hint’s of Dub was the prefect choice for this track and takes it to an ‘80’s lit dancefloor place it hasn’t been before. The percussion in the reMix is worth mentioning too, with a beautiful melodic quality to it, and the melodies have a percussive quality too which makes for some nice interaction. All-in-all though, if you’re looking for a version of this tune to drop, this is the one. Dancefloor destroying, I believe they call it.
