Yelle reMixed by Gold Fields

yelle

Here’s an unexpected treat, French ElectroPop stars Yelle’s Chimie Physique given a thorough funky going over by Australian Indie-Electro posse Gold Fields. The result is far more Cosmic Disco that we would imagine from a meeting of these two outfits, but it was totally rocked out Friday.

Clocking in at a pretty epic seven minutes, Gold Fields reMix is a big sweeping electronic Disco odyssey. Catchy as hell, both vocally and via the multitude of warm boogie riffs going on in this track. Everything from analog Disco bass to big House piano to SynthPop lead lines, all rolled into a tune you can;t help moving to. At three and a half minutes most tracks have already peaked, but that when Golf Fields only just get going with a huge breakdown that kicks back in with full force. Enjoy.

Pilotpriest’s ‘The Canyons’

Pilotpriest

Canadian SynthWave producer Pilotpriest’s album Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is still on heavy rotation ‘round these parts. Every listen reveals something new, like every listen is fresh. But that doesn’t mean we’re not eager for new material from the man, and so we are blessed with a brand new tune, The Canyons.

Apparently inspired by the forthcoming movie The Canyons, written by Less Than Zero & American Psycho’s Bret Easton Ellis and directed by Paul Schrader, Politpriest’s track of the same name is a lush, involving peice. Grounded by a solid beat and hypnotic reparative riff that allows the rest of the track to organically move and evolve around it. As with all Pilotpriet’s music, The Canyons is just beautiful, and electronic landscape of melody and texture that transports the listener’s head to somewhere completely fantastical while compelling their feet to dance. Most stunning work from this Toronto based musician, and hopefully much more to come.

High PKWY’s ‘Phoenix’

High PKWY

This is some seriously laid back electronic Disco grooves in the form of the new tune from Denver’s High PKWY. If you like your Disco slightly Chilly, your SynthWave slightly hazy and your real life slightly soft focus then this tunes for you.

Like a melting pot of all the waves, Phoenix incorporates the beats and textures of Chillwave, the retro roboticness of SynthWave and dreamy nostalgia of Dreamwave. Wrap that up with some Disco strings, off in the middle distance, and you’ve got the perfect Friday chill-out tune, with complex layers of synthesizers and electronic percussion enough to hold the fascination of any electronic music fan.

John Dahlbäck reMixes letthemusicplay

letthemusicplay

Y’know, there’s only two good reasons we can think of for ‘mystery’ (*gag*) outfit letthemusicplay to keep their identities secret. Either they are really, really, ugly, or the *ahem* “famous producers” they are are really shit. It’s probably David Guetta and Will.I.Am, so embarrassed by their terrible back catalogues they are attempting to start afresh. So in letthemusicplay’s case we will wave our growing tedium with ‘mystery’ outfits and say it’s probably a good idea.

Because the music is really good, even if the marketing is nauseating. Both letthemusicplay’s recent collaborations with Cardiff’s Until The Ribbon Breaks have been impressive as hell, and this new reMix of Don’t Weigh Me Down by renowned Sweedish producer John Dahlbäck just adds to that pile. The track, which was recently aired by Annie Mac on her Radio 1 show, is a powerhouse tune that really rolls with the vibe of the original and layers it up with some big dancefloor moments. While not quite as deep and involving as the infectious original the biting chainsaw synths that lead into massive Electro-House riffs are sure to keep the dancefloor moving.

Gesaffelstein’s new single

Gesaffelstein

Incoming is the fourth release on Bromance is the latest double A-Side single from French deep  and dark groove merchant Gesaffelstein. Collectively they call the two tracks the Rise Of Depravity EP, but really, there’s noting ‘extended’ about two tracks, it’s a double A-side single to the rest of us.

The lead track is the dark rave juggernaut Depravity. Easing you in with woozy synths the track soon becomes a hammering dystopian Techno track, relentless in it’s sonic dancefloor assault. The highlight, though, is the flipside, ‘Belgium’. It’s a dark, heavy, Techno track that is completely without mercy. A tune that will make you dance and scare the shit out of you at the same time, with a build so intense that at one point you really don’t know if it’s going to end. I’d make sure there are no hard surfaces or sharp corners around when you stick this tune on.

♫ Gesaffelstein – Belgium

Gesaffelstein’s Rise Of Depravity is released 9th July.

Future Unlimited cover The Comsat Angels

future-unlimited

Nashville based Indie-ElectroPoppers Future Unlimited, released one of the surprise EPs of the year. The highlight of their EP, EP, being Golden, an uplifting ElectroPop anthem that got lots of play ‘round these parts. While we are waiting for a new release the guys have recorded a cover version of Sheffield Post-Punk band The Comsat Angels’ 1981 classic  Sleep No More.

Future Unlimited’s take on the tune is a breezy Dreamwave opus. Rich and spacious, Sleep No More retains a little of the Post-Punk feel to it, and a hint of darkness, but wraps it up in powerful and warm retro synth work. Only the occasional burst of jagged guitar betrays the songs roots while Future Unlimited make it their own.

Pharao Black Magic’s ‘Hermes’

Pharao Black Magic

Here’s another track from the awesome Kitsuné Soleil album. Swiss outfit Pharao Black Magic haven’t graced these pages for a fair few months, but this new track is about to be featured, alongside appearing on Soleil, on an upcoming DJs compilation from Future Classic as well as Future Classic releasing the track on an EP of it’s own.

The Ghostape featuring Hermes, eased us into the the Soleil album, being featured early on and it’s laid back, no worries, Disco groove and slight Indie sensibilities. The track rolls with a Tropical vibe layering tight guitar licks with laid back squelchy synths that all seems to blend into one another to create a comforting wave of boogie.
