Vince Fierro drops free EP

Vince Fierro

Riding on the success of the release of his début album, ‘Origins’, Californian Disco-House producer  Vince Fierro has dropped a free EP over on his SoundCloud.

Vince describes the  ‘Night All Day’ EP as his “first all-synth-and-vocal EP”. It contains four tracks of feel-good beach party Vocal Nu-Disco, leading with ‘You Stole The Light’, a sweeping slo-mo groove full of big retro synth sounds and gentle vocals that leads into the more pumping Prog House/Dreamwave crossover of ‘You Do What You Do’ and the French-Touch-esque call-to-dance of ‘Night All Day’. This is a top quality EP for retro synth heads and Prog House fans alike, and it costs no pounds, no pence (that’s no dollars, no cents for you Americans)!

♫ Vince Fierro – You Stole The Light

♫ Vince Fierro – You Do What You Do

♫ Vince Fierro – Night All Day

You can download the whole EP from Vince’s SoundCloud.

Miami Horror reMixed by Lenno & Jesse Oliver

miami-horror

producer Lenno is fast becoming a name to watch with a string of amazing reMixes. This time he’s teamed up with Jesse Oliver to rework Miami Horror’s hit of last year, ‘Holidays’.

It’s a rapid fire bassline that keeps this tune pumping. Bright retro synths stab away at the tune but the machine bass never falters from it’s course and lends the tune a slight Italo flavour. Leno and Jesse Oliver have crafter a really nice Dreamwavey update to the song, keeping the Indie-Electro feel to the vocals but bringing them straight to an electronic dancefloor.

Lazercat’s new single

lazercat

Out soon on Spirit Soul Music is the new double A-side single from Lazercat.

The Berlin based producer two new tunes, ‘Lovestruck’ and ‘Heartbeat’ are prefect examples of Housey cosmic SynthWave. ‘Lovestruck’ has got a nice late ‘80’s House/Italo digital bassline going on, proving a solid backing for some floaty retro synths to play around over the top. the combination of deep groove, bright melodies and an uplifting progression make this a pretty addictive track. it’s flip side ‘Heartbeat’ is a chilled synth Funk workout led by a smooth electric piano line and synth solo that’s pure ‘80’s Disco. A great atmospheric track.

♫ Lazercat – Lovestruck

♫ Lazercat – Heartbeat

The ‘Lovestruck’/’Heartbeat’ single is out soon.

Charleston

Charleston

Charleston are a London based three-peice who are drawing in a range of eclectic influences for their moody début single, released next month.

If ‘Peice By Peice’ is an introduction to Charleston’s sound, then they will definitely be a group to keep an ear on in the coming year. Initial comparisons, both musically and vocally, would be to Portishead, but there is something more contemporary going on here too. ‘Peice By Peice’ is a deep, soulful tune that has it’s roots in Trip-Hop but displays a more experimental attitude, even including elements of Dubstep and ChipTune in the mix to create something that, despite it’s low groove, is pretty majestic sounding. The smokey, sultry vocals don’t hurt either.

♫ Charleston – Piece By Piece

‘Piece By Piece’ is released 6th February via Good Bait.

Goin’ Old School: Eleven Pond, A Guy Called Gerald & John Parr

You’ll have notice that there hasn’t been a Goin’ Old School for a few days, that’s ‘cos it’s going to be a weekly column now. Some weeks there will be loads of vids, some weeks there will be just the one, depends how we’re feeling…

 

The Minimal Synth crowd are crazy for Eleven Pond’s 1986 hit ‘Watching Trees’, they’re pretty Italo though

A Guy Called Gerald’s ‘Voodoo Ray’, one of the greatest dance records ever made. 1989.

John Parr‘s ‘Two Hearts’ from  1986. The one that isn’t from St. Elmo’s Fire. Check the awesome keytar solo!

Jupiter reMixes Blackjoy

blackjoy

Parisian ElectroPop duo Jupiter recently announced their intentions for 2012 including a new single and their début album, all to be preceded by a string of reMixes.

The first of which is this Poppy rework of Blackjoy’s 2008 Disco funker ‘Mercurian’ Jupiter have set themselves a high bar, which loads up the original with rounded synth bass and particularly French little riffs. This awesome chunk of synthesizer Disco bodes well for Jupiter’s 2012.
