Pat Lok’ ‘No Shame’

pat lok

On The Fruit Records’ second big release of the week comes courtesy of the slick synthetic Disco of Pat Lok.

The Vancouver DJ/Producers is dropping this single, ‘No Shame’, backed with ‘Yes Game’ and a stellar array of reMixes. ‘No Shame’ is an Italo basslined five minutes of some of the best, and most original, Nu-Disco we’ve heard in a while. Pat definitely brings something new to the Nu-Disco game as well as doing what everyone should do when they’ve write an awesome peice of funky electronic music…cover the thing in vocoded vocals. ‘No Shame’ is immense. The flip side, ‘Yes Game’ take a smoother route to the dancefloor with chilled synths and piano in the mix. Goldroom provides one of the mixes of ‘No Shame’. The ‘G’ word is already, after half a year, a stamp of quality, slightly Yachty, Nu-Disco beach tunes but this time Josh goes all out and contributes some vocals to the track which immediately gives the track something special, making it really cohesive. Bit Funk’s take on ‘Yes Game’ is funked-out  bliss (or should that be blissed-out funk?) with heavy synth bass and slap bass intertwining to crate a low-down dirty groove and some dark dancefloor moments.

AXXE’s ‘Sweet Stuff’

axxe

Jet setting DiscoPop act AXXE’s ‘Sweet Stuff’ has been knocking around for a while now, as has some of the reMixes, so On The Fruit Records (in their firsts of two big releases this week) have made the smart decision to package them all up in one place, alongside some corking new versions. Won’t you join me for a peek inside?

The original version of the tracks is pure Dance-Pop excellence, with just the right balance between retro sounds and modern dancefloors. Doug’s slick beats and ear for hooks and Stina husky, powerful vocals work together perfectly for some big, but edge, ElectroPop fun. It’s hard to even start on the reMixes with out getting Ride The Universe’s version out the way, we’ve mentioned it before, suffice to say the combination of musicianship, studio skill skill and DJ’s ear amongst the four Riders makes up the perfect production team. If you were in the HR department of a Dreamwave/Nu-Disco corporation then these four skill sets would be the one your would be trying to fill. Dreamtrak is a man with his finger in a lot of ElectroPop pies right now, and his reMix here displays why, with an almost New Order-esque slice of retro SynthPop sprinkled with a hint of Disco. Neon Workout head straight for the dancefloor with their take on the track with a bit of Italo, a bit of EBM and a bit of Disco all finding their way into this rapid-fire mix.

Cinnamon Chasers reMixed

Cinnamon Chasers

We’re really not used to Cinnamon Chasers sounding as raw as they do on this reMix of ‘Cuts Like Fire’ by Vasili Gavre.

The original, taken from CC’s second full length SynthWave/ElectroPop masterpiece ‘Science’ , was already one of the more live sounding tracks on the album but retained that Cinnamon Casers smoothness, Gavre takes that liveness and runs with it crafting an energetic, rough-as-you-like- slice of ElectroPop full of Rock drums and chainsaw synths. Kinda’ reminds me a bit of the tracks Guns ‘N’ Bombs were doing a few years ago.

♫ Cinnamon Chasers – Cuts Like Fire (Vasili Gavre reMix)

Cinnamon Chaser’s second album, ‘Science, is out now along with accompanying reMix albums.

Royalty

London based synth Funk duo Royalty are gearing up for the release of their sophomore EP, ‘Purple Nights’.

Their heavy beats and and growling groovy basslines immediately bring to mind comparisons to the kind of Nu-Funk brought to us by the likes of DâM-FunK. But rather that sun kissed LA vibes, there is a London grit to this duo’s sound, and urban Funk for those parting in the concrete jungle. Thick retro synth sounds are the order of the day here, pulsating basses, twinkling melodies and reedy pads create something that is a musical journey, at times for hot city nights, at times for something more cosmic.

♫ Royalty – Heart Strings

Royalty’s ‘Purple Nights’ EP is out 21st November. If your in the area catch them at the EP’s launch at the Dalston Superstore on 23rd November, details here.

Treasure Fingers’ new track

Treasure Fingers

Treasure Fingers, being the generous fella he is, has given away a brand new free track and a thank you for all his fans support.

‘Take My Hand’ will totally Disco up your week. A pure Disco-House floorfiller, smooth and soulful but with enough kick to get the party moving. It’s quite a trick to get things sounding this banger, but this slick too, but that just shows why Treasure Fingers has made the name for himself that he has.
