Yelle, Eumig & Chinon and Kap10Kurt

Yelle

Yelle, easily one of the best live acts I have seen this year, is embarking on a US tour. If they are playing near you, especially if it’s quite an intimate venue, I strongly suggest a night out.

In celebration of tour embarking here’s a couple of reMixes of ‘Que Veux-Tu’ by Eumig & Chinon and Kap10Kurt. Both have been kicking about for a while now but both are seriously worth your listening minutes. E&C get sweet and soulful with their Disco Funk version of the track while the ElectroPop master Kap10Kurt works his mysterious cosmic Electro ways.

Daze reMixes Ellie Goulding

ellie_goulding

You remember Ellie Goulding’s ‘Starry Eyed’? You remember how awesome it was two summers ago? You remember how it has a perfectly good, fun and funky,  music video? You remember how the perfectly good, fun and funky, music video also got edited into a perfectly good music video for the jaw droopingly amazing Russ Chimes reMix of the song? Well, now the single is being released in the States there is a new video for it, which I won’t be posting as it appears to be the latest in a long line of record label attempts to turn Ms. Goulding into the blandest artist ever. The previous video was kinetic, and dancey, and youthful. The new video is Ellie slow-mo in a field, full of product placement, or something. Kinda’ like ‘The Writer’ video then? Seriously, we’ll see how many top 10 hits she has after you’ve tuned her into a dreary folk artist. My advice? Stick her back with Starsmith, let Neon Gold look after her, and we’ll all have a good time. The song is about shared clubbing or festival experiences, not picnics and feeling up bark.

Aaaaaaaaaanyway…renewed interest in the, admittedly still brilliant, track means more reMixes. Daze has put together a storming Disco fuelled epic track. Sliding between different grooves Daze controls the listener before sweeping in with a massive analog solo. Synth Funk haven.

Check out Mr. Bouthier’s ‘100% Gomma mix’ to see how they are going down.

Oliver’s ‘I Need You’

oliver

U-Tern & Oligee’s Oliver project just keeps going from strength to strength.

their latest tune, ‘I Need You’ is a massive slice of West Coast Disco. Boasting a bouncy bassline, and 80’s refrain and a deep Funk vocal the track is pure retro Electro Disco gold. The duo are going to make the track available for download when it reaches 20,000 plays.

So get playing!

Justin Faust does it again

Justin-Faust

Justin Faust’s ‘Girl Talk’ EP is the gift that keeps on giving.

To celebrate the release, which is pretty damn awesome by the way, Justin and Discotexas are giving away a free bonus track, ‘Do It Again’. It’s a classic Dreamwave tune laden with soaring leads, big retro chords and a slight touch of the Italo. The track also has the most feelgood, cute, melody i have heard in a Nu-Disco track in a long time. Let this soundtrack your weekend.

Kimbra & G.L.O.V.E.S.

kimbra

Kimbra is really pushing the release of her infection new single ‘Cameo Lover’ with another storming reMix.

This time Australian uber-producer G.L.O.V.E.S. takes the reins. I love seeing what people do with this track, the original has got a quirky 60’s vibe to it and when that vocal rhythm slides of some slick Nu-Disco, as it does here, it make for quite a unique sound. Like Shook’s reMix this track has it’s own take on the tune, it’s a sparkly Disco track that makes the right decision in keeping Kimbra’s vocal intact and it perfect for good times with friends.

♫ Kimbra – Cameo Lover (G.L.O.V.E.S. reMix)

Kimbra’s ‘Cameo Lover’ is out soon.

Ghosts Of Venice X Chromeo

chromeo

Ghosts Of Venice are next up to reMix Chromeo’s latest single ‘When the Night Falls’, turning the tune into a massive Nu-Disco monster.

Underpinned with a relentless Funky hook, Ghosts Of Venice’s mix doesn’t let up for start to finish, it’s flat out dancefloor gold. Layers of hypnotic Disco loops and snatches of Solange Knowles’ vocals build and intertwine tempered only with some heavy filtering. If it’s peak time and you’re trying to choose what ‘When The Night Falls’ reMix to play, I think you may have found you’re answer.
