Short Circuit reMixes Young Empires

Young Empires

From the glut of reMixes of Young Empires’ ‘Enter Through The Sun’ we’ve been inundated with recently, Short Circuit’s was actually the first I heard about, and the one I was most looking forward to hearing.

It doesn’t disappoint either. With a melodic refrain that is pure B-Boy Electro injected into Short Circuit’s RoboPop the mix delivers a rich, thick synth backing and a Disco beat for the piercing, icy lead lines to bodypop all over. It totally changes the feel of the track, for the better.

Lueur Verte

Lueur Verte

Frenchman Michael Brun, otherwise known as Lueur Verte, makes some of the richest retro SynthWave you’ll have heard in a while.

Steeped in Italo and ‘80’s Sci-Fi soundtracks Lueur Verte creates brooding, atmospheric synth peices and then takes a leaf out of fellow countryman’s Jean-Michel Jarre’s book with intricate melodies and solos. Check out his latest track, ‘Last Flight’, which is so dark future it boarders on EBM at times. Evocative stuff!

Escort’s Pound Sterling reMix

escort

Massive Brooklyn based Disco orchestra Escort will release their début LP (currently out digitally) on CD and vinyl at the end of January.

To commemorate the occasion they have dropped a new reMix of ‘Why Oh Why’. The Pound Sterling mix is quite a complicated beast. Keeping the Disco groove of the original it also moves the track into more  retro Electro territory with some amazingly catchy Italo elements mixing with bit of ‘80’s Pop and Adeline Michèle’s big diva vocals. A top reMix from a top album.

Escort’s self-titled début is out now digitally and 31st January on CD and Vinyl.

Cassius & Show Your Shoe

Cassius

Our favourite Swiss Disco genius Show Your Shoe has worked his complex funky magic on Cassius’ ‘The Sound Of Violence’.

There’s so much funk in this reMix it’s bursting at the seems. Intricate tropical beats provide the groove for some big squelchy Moog bass and layers and layers of Disco madness to ride over. Untamed dancefloor madness!”

More reMixes of The Tapeaters’ ‘Don’t You Dare’

the-tapeaters

In addition to the already posted Silenx reMix, Russian ElectroPop duo have dropped a bunch of new reMixes of their track ‘Don’t You Dare’ The Tapeaters.

First up fellow Russians Sohight deliver a funky ‘80’s inspired version with a nice Moog Funk bass and big retro sounds that have The Tapeaters sounding a little like Tesla Boy. There’s some amazing electronic music coming out of Russia right now and Sohight are another name to watch. Spanish producer Nelue’s take on the track starts off as a  slick exercise in Disco Funk but soon evolves into a bright, shimmering, quite classic sounding ElectroPop track with some really emotive synths.

Dusty Digital reMixes R3set

r3set

Dusty Digital is a Boston based producer who you may remember from his entry in the Fear Of Tigers ‘Pippy Longsrump’ reMix competition. He’s not turned his attention to the title track from R3set’s ‘Runaway’ EP.

Dusty is developing a really interesting sound. On first listen he seems to be on Nu-Disco or Dreamwave tip, but there’s a lot more going on under the hood. In this reMix there are strong elements of both ‘80’s Pop and early ‘90’s House, in the melodies and basslines respectively, which makes for something a bit fresh sounding to compliment R3sets ethereal ElectroPop track. Dusty Digital has evoked a new atmosphere for the track, one of distance befitting the subject matter.

Young Empires reMixed by ¡borracho!

Young Empires ‘Exit Through The Sun’ is the tune to reMix of the moment, so your version has to be something special to stand out from the crowd. ¡borracho! new mix does just that.

Rocking an amazingly infectious digital slap bassline at it’s core, this reMix is a melting pot of melodies and riffs that might not have worked together, but in ¡borracho! skilful hands the whole track flows together effortlessly. It’s quite an abrasive track, which is odd considering the tunefulness of it’s composite parts, but this just adds to the driving energy of the tune. This is a track for late night darkened dancefloors.

Oliver’s new EP

oliver

Oliver (A.K.A.  Oliver ‘Oligee’ Goldstein and Vaughn ‘U-Tern’ Oliver are back, fresh from their placing in our top reMixes of the year with a brand new EP for Kitsuné Music.

The move to Kitsuné sees them, appropriately, mixing a little dirty Euro House into their Nu-Disco and Dreamwave sound to produce a massive club anthem that is sure to explode this month. reMixes come from Punks Jump Up with a synthetic Funk mix full of robotic synths and mechanical beats and Kris Menace’s Black Van project, who turn in an unsurprisingly big room version led by a twisting bright lead line. The other original track on the EP, ‘Walk With Me’ closes the record with Oliver’s LA Disco roots in full effect and a summertime vibe.

♫ Oliver – Dirty Talk (Punks Jump Up MBO mix)

♫ Oliver – Dirty Talk (Black Van reMix)

The ‘Dirty Talk’ EP is released 16th January.
