So, by now you’re all familiar with Johan Agebjörn ‘Casablanca Nights’, on of the best albums of the year that saw Johan teaming up with a plethora of talent throughout the record, noticeably fellow Swede Le Prix. The two of the have decided that future collaboration between the two will fall under the moniker Plexi Grace.

The first released from Plexi Grace will be a selection of reMixes of the first track we heard from ‘Casablanca Nights’ featuring this team-up, the Lake Heartbeat featuring ‘Watch The World Go By’ the reMix package will be released on Fektive Records and contain work from Jam El Mar (the Jam from Jam & Spoon) who turns the track into a lush big room tune. Agebjörn will be returning the favour by reMixing Jam & Spoon’s ‘Find Me’, to be released in 2012.

♫ Plexi Grace (Feat. Lake Heartbeat) – Watch The World Go By (Jam El Mar Rmx)

Cyclist reMixes Gigamesh

gigamesh2

Vancouver based producer Cyclist has just dropped his contribution to the forthcoming collection of reMixes of Gigamesh’s recent self-titled EP.

Cyclist’s take on ‘People’, is a beautiful cacophony of squelchy, slappy, Moogy bass and hammered piano riffs. Cyclist’s solid funk drives the track along like a bass heavy juggernaut. i don’t know why he;s called Cyclist, he should name himself Funk Truck Driver!

♫ Gigamesh (Feat. Nicole Godiva) – People (Cyclist reMix)

The Gigamesh rEMix EP is out 6th December and features work from Moullinex, Fare Soldi, Alexander Holland and Goldroom.

The Opiates reMixed by Drop Out Orchestra

The Opiates

What you have here is the voice of Miss Billie Ray Martin, here in her The Opiates guise with producer Robert Solheim, and the slick groove of Swedish Disco duo Drop Out Orchestra. If that’s not enough to have you hitting the play button then there’s something very wrong with you.

Those  wicked Disco licks and cosmic synths are the perfect backing to completely redefine Billie’s vocals into a smooth, late night jam. Billie’s soulful, slightly husky, delivery leans itself effortlessly to Drop Out’s laid back vibe. Funking into the night!

♫ The Opiates – Reality TV (Drop Out Orchestra  Dub)

The Opiates’ ‘Hollywood under The Knife’ album is out now, this track is taken from a forthcoming reMix album.

Knightlife’s new 12”

Knightlife

Aussie Nu-Disco DJ Knightlife  drops his first 12” for Cutters Records, Cut Copy’s own label, today.

The Cut Copy tour DJ’s ‘Serves You Right’ is a Funk fuelled slice of synthetic Nu-Disco. All Moog Funk basslines, exotic percussion and electro toms this track is the logical progression from his last two 12”s as Knightlife does what he’s known for, straight-up, no letting-up, dancefloor boogie.

SaiR reMixes Cavaliers Of Fun

cavaliers-of-fun1

Our favourite Portuguese producer SaiR has taken on the lead track from Cavaliers Of Fun recent ‘Sharing Space Secrets’ EP, ‘Passengers’, for his latest mix.

Keeping it smooth with a night time vibe, SaiR works Ricco’s vocals into a laid back slice of synthesizer Funk featuring the very best in head nodding basslines and quirky little lead riffs.  Ruben from SaiR certainly knows how to twist a synth line to his funky will and makes the track so slick and chilled that you can just let is wash over you like a wave of groove.

Show Your Shoe reMixes Christa Vi

Christa Vi

Mr. Nico Müller is back in the place! Show Your Shoe has been a little quite of late but it looks like he’s been keeping himself busy (not least with a secret project for us, but I’m not going to tell you what that is right now! Hahaha) as this reMix for Christa Vi proves.

More and more ,Show Your Shoe is becoming the benchmark for Funky hooks and beach party percussion and this reMix shows off Nico’s mastery of those elements amazingly. Coupled with that is a big of a late ‘80’s UK electronic Soul/Pop groove that makes Christa, a London based Singer/Songwriter sound like the prefect ‘80’s Pop diva. If I was a Nu-Disco producer out there, the Show Your Shoe would be the act to beat.

Shook’s new EP

shook

Dutch synth wizard Shook has just dropped his long awaited, second, five track EP, ‘Rise And Fall’

From the opening note and accompanying drone of ‘Through The Fire ‘ you’ll know one thing about this EP, it’s big, huge in fact. Busy P can call Justice’s new album “Stadium Disco” all he wants, to me, this is what “Stadium Disco” sounds like. Shook’s musicianship shines though as he takes on ‘80’s Electro Boogie effortlessly working his way through complex Funk basslines and soaring melodies. As the EP progresses it begins to chill a little, bringing out the smoother side of Shook’s music while still retaining the same huge scope. Even the intimate electric piano of ‘Hold Tight’ is more ambitious a track than many of it’s contemporaries. Elsewhere, such as on ‘Rise And Fall’, the EP sees Shook channelling everyone from Herbie Hancock to Daft Punk with Jazz, Disco, Electro Boogie, Funk, House & Electro all being drawn on to make this musical masterpiece. A Stunning second EP.

♫ Shook – Through The Fire

♫ Shook – Rise And Fall

♫ Shook – Hold Tight

‘Rise And Fall’ is available now digitally or on limited white vinyl via Bandcamp.
