LA DiscoPop producer Le Youth has been quiet for quite a while now, but he’s definitely announcing he’s still around with his new track. Cool is the prefect way to hold on to the end of the summer.
Cool mixes up a Tropical sound with a rolling House beat and some smooth as silk, summery, vocals. Vocally speaking, Le Youth lifts the top-line from Cassie‘s Me and You and works it into his particular groove. feeling the sound of his hometown, Le Youth drops those perfect LA beats and poolside basslines to build up a sunshine vibe. This is probably the last of the summer’s great beach Disco track. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Manchester’s purveyor of the finest SynthWave and retro synth tunes, Mr. Mindscramble has cooked up another fantastic slice of ‘80’s awesomeness for us in the form of this reMix of London based Indie-Electro outfit Kites’ new single, This Jumped-up Boy in Livery.
The original of This Jumped-up Boy in Livery is in impressive, deep, mix of Post-Punk and ElectroPop, I burbling synth backing with Gothy vocals, but Midscramble takes it to the next level with with a vintage SynthPop twist. The track starts off in true SynthWave fashion, pulsating synths and warm retro sounding chords, but Mindscrample’s rhythm work and the addition of the vocals gives the track a nice mid-‘80’s UK Pop feel. There’s a little Pet Shop Boys going on there, a little Dead Or Alive too. The frantic arpeggios and piercing lead lines really play in to the drama of the vocal track, resulting in a rich, powerful post-Italo ElectroPop tune.

Brooklyn based ElectroPop maestro St. Lucia is gearing up for the release of his new EP, titled, topically, September. You can check out the EP’s lead track right here, it’s also out first taste of what St. Lucia has in store for us in the form of his forthcoming album, due to drop next year.
Swirling is the best word to describe September. Based upon layers and layers of sound and like the tracks “reaching for the sun” refrain the track builds and builds, higher and higher. Whether it’s wave after wave of intertwining synths or the increasingly complex percussion, this track takes you on a journey, onwards and upwards. By the time Jean-Philip’s hazy vocals join the party the track is in full –on ElectroPop bliss mode. We have a feeling the album is going to be something quite special.

The awesome Discotexas’ latest release comes from stable member Mirror People and an insanely infectious tune called Kaleidoscope. Released today, this tune has been getting tons of play and support from the likes of The Magician, Bottin, Bag Raiders, Moullinex, B-Xentric! and MiGHty mOUse. Deservedly too, it’s pure crazy fun Disco.
With a twisted P-Funk bassline and a melody that worms it’s way into your brain like some insidious mind control, Kaleidoscope is built on the foundations of a solid beat and a hypnotic loop. Add a few Acidic burbles and shiny chiming leads and you have a floorfiller that is all about the good times. Discotexas cohort Xinobi supplies the reMix, mixing in a little of his left-field Disco and Italo sounds. even going so far as to make things a bit soulful with a nice piano line. One again, Discotexas have delivered a top quality party rocker.

London based SynthWave tinged ElectroPoppers Le Cassette recently dropped another one of their blissful retro jams. Fresh from their appearance on KEIZ BEATS’ Retro Futuristic Sounds compilation, Le Cassette are going from strength to strength.
This new track, Arms Of Mine, is a rich, emotional SynthPop track that references both American electronic ‘80’s movie soundtrack music and a very British style of vintage Pop. A mid-paced tune, Arms Of Mine, counterpoints pulsing robotic synths with a warm, emotive vocal and sparkling lead lines. It’s an electronic lament of a track, slow glides along with real passion until reaching it’s finale of full-on Electro chainsaw synths in a satisfying conclusion.

We’ve got some Moroder Disco going on right now with this new reMix of Brooklyn Disco orchestra Escort’s Starlight by one or more of the Remix Artists Collective, RAC. Actually, we know who it was, it was Andre Anjos who put together this arpeggiated monster, but where’s the fun in knowing that?
So, we have the Italo-esque Moroder arpeggiated bassline forming the core of this track. And when you have such a huge Disco voice as Adeline Michèle’s to play with, the temptation not to go all Donna Summer must be overwhelming. On top of that a real vintage feel rides the groove with emotive stings and just the right amount of Cosmic flourishes. Retro future diva stuff right here.
