Dublin Aunts’ new track

Dublin Aunts

Australian duo Dublin Aunts have unleashed a new track on the world. Prepare to go deep.

Taking their mixture of Disco and Deep House and adding an awesome ‘90’s sheen, Dublin Aunts’ new track ‘No Holding Back’ works alongside the classics of soulful House. With a heavy bass and pitch perfect use of a really house organ sound that weave in and out of each other, ‘No Holding Back’ is a laid back, involving track that just sucks you into itself. Add to that a lush vocal, and more ‘90’s vibe in the form of a trumpet solo, and you have the makings of a classic tune.

Airwolf reMixes Parachute Youth

Parachute Youth

Australian SynthWave/Disco.Indie-Electro producer Airwolf has been a bit quiet of late, but come storming back with this huge reMix of Parachute Youth’s ‘Awake Now’.

‘Awake Now’ was the B-side to Parachute Youth’s insanely catchy ‘Can’t Get Better Than This’ and Airwolf turns it into a big retro floorfiller. Building the track around some huge synth stabs Airwolf takes the track in mew 80s directions making the track suddenly take on a Rockwell-esque vibe but reMixed for 2008, Big Electro for any era!

‘Awake Now’ is taken from Parachute Youth’s ‘Can’t Get Better Than This’ EP, out now.

Awkoder’s ‘Nightrain’ reMixes

awkoder

We featured Awkoder’s moody ‘Nightrain’ earlier in the month, a evocative, atmospheric Italo tinged SynthWave tune.

Now there’s three reMixes of the track for you to relive the stormy highs of two weeks ago. Frenchman Tommy ramps up the excitement factor with driving drums and laser blast synths. Tommy’s attention grabbing reimagining of the track is full of nervous energy and makes the perfect partner for the brooding original. Protector101’s mix brings things back to the dark clouds vibe of the original but adds a touch of his own deep synth work with some particularly bright lead lines and twisting, amazing, solos playing against the dark moods of the track. Michael Brun’s Lueur Verte project takes the tune straight to that strange place where retro synth music and hair metal meet at the movies for a ‘Fuck Yeah’ moment of fist pumping.

Goin’ Old School: Kraftwerk, New Order & Jungle Brothers

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:

After years in the German underground. Kraftwerk were basically saying “Hello world, here we are’ with 1982’s ‘The Model’, the coolest people in the world took notice.

New Order’s ‘Blue Monday’ from1983, still the biggest selling 12” of all time, here’s the original video.

Jungle Brothers, amongst others, in 1988 thought Hip-House was a good idea with the Todd Terry produced ‘I’ll House You’.

ATTAR! reMixes Nteibint

Nteibint

ATTAR! certainly is making a statement with his first back of solo reMixes, letting us all know what we can expect form him in future, and this mix of Greek Nu-Disco producer Nteibint’s forthcoming single ‘Morning Breeze’ helps to set the tone.

Everything about this mix, from the jump up percussion to the epic synth solos is so meticulously crafter. ATTAR!’s attention to detail, and the lining of his tracks with complex, intertwining programming makes him rise to the top of the pack. Combining a Disco groove with his deep 80’s analog sounds is becoming his trademark, and one we hope to hear a lot more from, it’s an awesome combination.

Black Magic Disco’s new EP

Black Magic Disco

London based producer Black Magic Disco is about to release his new single, ‘Downtown’ on Pole Position Recordings. Prepare for the Funk to be brought!

‘Downtown’ is a massive slice of Electro Boogie with a Moog-esque bassline that squelches and funks it’s way through the track like a Disco steamroller. And the awesome solid groove isn’t even the best bit, oh no, this tune is washed in subtle vocoding and some truly cosmic melodies and may be one of the best Cosmic Disco tracks I’ve heard this year. It doesn’t stop there though, one of our favourite producers ODahl steps up to work his magic on the track with some slick synthed Dreamwave ripe for the dancefloor and the normally more laid back Satin Jackets deliver a wicked 80’s synth Funked out Nu-Disco groover. The single also hold ‘First Avenue’ an inner city Disco B-side and a reMix from CRAM.

Final DJs’ ‘Inversion’

finaldjs

Final DJs. Always releasing tunes late on Fridays after we’ve shut up shop for the weekend!

So, while we’re all still waiting for the German master’s début EP release on On The Fruit the guys keep dropping storming track after storming track and ‘Inversion’ is a massive, pounding monster of a track. It’s a mid-tempo, slow burning tune that builds and builds into a wall of synthetic melody. What’s so immense about this track is the way the relentless driving beat juxtaposes the playful lead lines, and the whole atmosphere if the track being quite otherworldly. In the last two years Final DJs have consistently impressed and consistently improved upon themselves. With tracks like ‘Inversion’ they are really pushing the boundaries of what they can do, and consistently nailing it.
