Right then, by now I think you all know our opinion of reMix contests. They aren’t good for anyone. But we’re not going to go on about it again, but like we said we’re only going to do round-ups of reMix competition entries from now on, because, don;t get us wrong, reMix competitions do churn out some absolutely wicked tracks. This week’s tiresome competition comes in the surprising form of legendary smoothster Barry Manilow in a transparently lame attempt to seem relevant, or something. The upside of this is it’s given some very talented producers access to that unmistakable croon.
So here’s the first batch of reMixes of Manilow’s new single, Everything’s Gonna’ Be Alright. These guys are way ahead of the pack right now. American Disco producer Blue Satellite comes out of hiding to drop an absolutely massive Nu-Disco mix of the track. Seriously, this one is huge. Loading the track with bright synths and a solid Disco groove was exactly the way to go with this track, and Blue Satellite nailed it. Waling a different path if Ireland’s Figure Of 8, who gets a little Techy, a little Electro and a little Experimental with his all-too-short, atmospheric, reMix. His pulsating synth sounds and robotic beats shine a light on a whole new dimension for the song. Greetings Program plays around with Disco and SynthWave for his reMix, injecting the track with a little Electro Boogie. This probably isn’t the last Manilow round-up we’ll do, we are hearing whispers of some huge entries incoming. But this will do for now.

Every blog I know was bombarded with this track yesterday, it was like social media carpet bombing. But y’know what?, the track is really good. It comes from Colombian producer Icarus! and it’s called Woot (for some reason)
It’s a really well crafted slice of Disco-House, and although track like this are ten-a-penny these days, there is something really compelling about this one. The chord progression hits just the right note for the track, elevating above it’s bog-standard Disco-House contemporaries. The bassline too, and the way it feeds the rest of the track make this a standout production. Occasionally, we are quite pleased we got bothered on all our social media accounts. This is one of those times. Nice one Icarus!

Ahead of the full reMix package to be released on Modal at the end of the month, Cassette Club have dropped their new single, Flash, as a Bandcamp exclusive. We heard Cassette Club’s own Ben Macklin’s reMix of the track last month and we’ve been eager to hear the original. You can pick up the track on it’s own from today.
Flash is a breezy slice of ElectroPop. If you heard the reMix you know somewhat what to expect, although this original version has the dancefloor qualities dialled down a little and the floaty retro-ness pumped up. Cassette Club do an amazing job of creating something that feels both nostalgically pleasing and contemporary and fresh. Anchored on a bouncy Disco influenced bassline the track layers on sweeping, emotional synths and a anthemic, rich vocal. Top quality London ElectroPop, a must listen.

Out this week is the new single from French Disco guru Daze. This time he’s joined by Girl Is Tough for New York 1984, which could end up being one of the surprise hits of the summer. Prepare to feel good, ‘cos, quite frankly, here’s no other way to feel when this tune is on.
So, New York 1984 is the perfect slice of funky Disco. It’s loaded with the kinds of pumping bass, squelchy Moog leads and wicked Disco licks you’d expect from the best of Nu-Disco, but what pushes it over the edge to greatness is the addition of Girl Is Tough smooth and sexy vocals. Fu and soulful the vocals bring out the late night groove in the track. there’s a whole host of reMixes, but the picks come from one of our favourite producers Pyramid, who plays around with the vocals over a beautiful five minutes of cosmic, analog, Disco flavoured SynthWave. He really makes the track epic. Also stepping up is Le Crayon who brings out the ‘70’s Disco flavour in the track and rounds off the track with a soaring synth solo that sets the track on fire. The prefect summer groove.

Their press release would have you believe that Aashton & Swift are from Brighton. They’re not, well, one is (Aashton), the other (Swift) is from Bristol, the greatest of all cities. Bristol is not amused by this heinous of errors and demands blood. If not then at least get your ears ‘round their new single on Body Work. Holy House, released next month.
Holy House hard as hell to pin down, but once you slip into it’s groove it’s hard to get back out again. A light Chicago House refrain floats over some seriously heavy Deep Tribal House creating this exotic, hypnotic musical mantra that draws you in and doesn’t let go. Immensely funky, Holy House is pure late night jam. Covenant the track’s flip side brings in Aashton & Swift Electro Boogie side a little more, shining a light on their Disco fuelled digital bass. It’s a track that in equal amounts brings to mind both sweaty House dancefloors and B-Boy spinning on their heads. There sounds like some early Juan Aitkins in there somewhere. Tronic Youth finish up the single, taking Holy House and layering it with their eclectic Disco sheen with some shiny percussion and a range of Dub effects. It’s a solid single, and one that’ll have you hitting repeat.

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:
We’re going all SynthPop ballad’s today, starting with Depeche Mode’s Somebody, from 1984.
Next, because I like to slip a little The Human League in wherever I can, it’s 1986’s Human.
And we’ll finish up with the ultimate ‘80’s ballad. Spandau Ballet’s True, from 1983
