[Audio] Colour Vision’s ‘Sur Chic’ (+ Fishing Vest reMix)

Just released is the début release from San Diego born, Palm Spring residing, producer Corey James Hurley; who some of your may recognise by the name Colour Vision (interestingly, he’s American and spells ‘Colour’ the English way, while we are English and spell ‘Rumors’ the American way; we have a really good reason for doing it, we wonder if Cory has too?) who has been spending the last few months making a name for himself with a string of well received reMixes. His première single is titles Sur Chic, and comes equipped with reMixes from Fishing Vest, DWTR and Rambo V.

Sur Chic is a deep and groovy tune that sits at the nexus point between Chicago House and Tropical Disco. This one is all about the woody bassline and some seriously upbeat Tropical keys. Whipping up a jam that would work equally well in a warehouse party as it would poolside Colour Vision deftly manoeuvres rolling purcussion, lilting electric piano and distant vocal snatches amidst his dancefloor frenzy. Fishing Vest returns to give the track an extra layer of Funk and a retro, robotic sheen. Giving it more of a West Coast sound, Fishing Vest weaves a little Dreamwave though the track; taking it straight to the beach.

[Download] Friend Within reMixes BANKS’ ‘Beggin’ For Thread’

Liverpudlian producer, and Disclosure collaborator, Friend Within has served up this wonderful House reMix of LA experimental R&B songstress BANKS ‘s latest single Beggin’ For Thread. Friend Within is currently making quite a name for himself, having turned in a mix for Annie Mac, a critically acclaimed EP in Hypercolour and releasing the track The Mechanism with Disclosure; all in such a short amount of time. This massive reMix is only going to add to his reputation.

Ensuring his House is both Deep and Chicago on this reMix, Friend Within takes BANKS’ woozy original straight to the dancefloor. There’s no mucking around on this one, it’s just straight up 909s, organ stabs and a booming bass. There’s even a little bit of an Acid vibe burbling away in the background. Friend Within utilises the vocals pretty perfectly, chiming in with the chorus in just the right spots. High energy goodness from an awesome original.

Prick up your ears, there’s a new Pat Lok reMix in town, This time the Canadian funkmaster has tackled the latest tune from Australian breezy Indie-Electro dup Olympic Ayres. The track’s called Control and is taken from their forthcoming début EP, Leisureplex. What does floaty poolside Pop sound like in Lok’s astoundingly groovy hands? Check it out below ad Pat Lok brings the House.

This one is all about the stabbing House hook and the subby bassline. Combining with a slick early 90s House vibe, the bass and riff whip up a deceptively complex and utterly infectious floorfiller. ‘Deceptively complex’ is actually a pretty good overview of the track, intricate House beats, multiple layers of keys and sweet strings all ride that dubby bassline, weaving in and out of each other but the end result feels effortlessly uncomplicated. Add to this totally compelling House anthem Olympic Ayers’ summertime vocal and you’ve got a pretty irresistible track.

[Audio] autoKratz’s ‘Push’

London based all-round electronic music voyagers autoKratz has a new single in the pipeline. The duo are referring to the track as their “I ain’t gone soft” moment, as the track takes leave of their usual ElectroPop persona and revels in their love of all things House and Techno (fans of their record label, Bad Life, can testify to this). Push succeeds in reminding people that autoKratz can make some of the grittiest, dirtiest dance music around.

Pure jacking vibes abound on this one. It’s full of Chicago-esque House madness fit for dim, strobe-light lit, warehouse raves. From the deep deep kick to the stabbing lead keys, you couldn’t ask for more of a hypnotic House tune to get lost in on the dancefloor. It’s not all noise noise noise either; autoKratz definitely ain’t gone soft, but they can still bring the grove.
