Clancy reMixes Robyn’s ‘None Of Dem’

robyn

We’ve been waiting for this one for a while. As unashamed lovers of Robyn we can’t think of anything better than Clancy, one of the UKs top Nu-Disco producers reMixing ‘None Of Dem’.

Clancy peppers his retro synth groove with a sweet ‘90’s House Piano riff running throughout. There’s also a nice Italo influence in the bassline too, in fact the reMix seems to be a melting pot of everything that’s good and great in dance music, wrapped up with Robyn’s left-field ElectroPop. That’s kinda’ what I like about Clancy, as well as having the production skills, he always seems keen to draw on different styles but never let’s them overrun what he’s doing. It makes for exciting synth music every time and, as displayed here, dancefloor gold.

Clancy’s ‘Panther EP’ is out now and comes highly recommended.

Clancy reMixes Alec Carlsson’s new single

alec carrlson

This week Alec Carlsson drops his new single for On The Fruit Records. ‘Royal Lives’ is a sweeping Nu-Disco floorfiller cock full of Disco strings and massive builds.

The reMix package includes work from Geisha Twins, The Phantom’s Revenge and The Alpha Snail. The highlight, though, is Clancy’s retro powerhouse mix. From the moment the digital bass kicks in this track is a treat., as it works it’s body shaking way around layers of sparkling arpeggios and just when your getting into the track this really sweet subtly lead jumps in after the breakdown to really lift the track to the next level.

Neon Workout Vs. Clancy

panther

Here is a mashup by Aduno So Tanie of Neon Workout’s ‘Running In the Night’ and, mostly, Clancy’s ‘Panther’.

I don’t know much about the guy who put this together but it’s pretty slick, still not really sure if it improves at all on the originals, it’s more like an interesting take on ‘Panther’ using bits of ‘Running Through The Night’. It does work though and it’s well put together and if you want something to jam out to this Friday afternoon then this could be it.

Clancy’s ‘Panther’ EP

clancy

One of the UKs most exciting up-and-coming producers Clancy drops his new EP today, his first for ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’.

The ‘Panther EP’ sees Clancy at his Dreamwave finest with three original tracks and a couple of reMixes. The title track is five minutes of synthesizer bliss. Almost Futurecop!-esque in it’s ElectroPoppiness, ‘Panther’ is retro synth perfection, from the digital bass to the uplifting 80’s chords, this is how it should be done. Noting about ‘Panther’ doesn’t make you feel good. ‘4000 Shards’ is more designed to make you move. Ironically it growls a bit more than ‘Panther’. Definitely a nightdrive of a tune, ‘4000 shards’ is the cop film to ‘Panthers’ teen movie. The trilogy is made up by ‘Bite The Lightning’, a pure retro dancefloor workout that is nothing short of genius, and easily cements Clancy’s place amongst the top producers making Nu-Disco/Dreamwave today.

♫ Clancy – Panther

♫ Clancy – 4000 Shards

reMixes are supplied by beaumont and StardonE. beaumont treats us to a nice clash between the ChipTune Disco sounds we are used to from him and a laidback piano led vibe that has us looking forward to his début EP for Holographic more than ever. Korea’s awesome StardonE add a little of his Cosmic Disco to the mix with a reMix epic reMix that plays the EP out on a high.

Miroir: Build & Clancy’s new project

Holographic People’s first release was awesome, and I can tell you that their second release is awesome. So I shall henceforth be calling them ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’, which is true, until further notice.

This week sees the release of the début EP from Miroir, a new project from two producers at the top of the Electro game, Clancy and Build. I’m really digging the ‘So Fewer Particles Scatter’ EP, the thing that initially impressed me about it most is how varied it is. I tend to think of both Build and Clancy as, albeit amazing, producers of Nu-Disco, but this EP goes much further afield than that. If you are into any kind of synthesizer music (and if you’re not, what the hell are you doing here?) there is something for you to love amongst the five tracks here.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the EP doesn’t deliver dancefloor monsters. The opening track, ‘Kites’, is a piano led dance epic and the finale ‘Luminance’ is pure big room, peak time, euphoria, but alongside them you will find the more 80’s sounding title track and ‘Night Sky’, which draws in some Italo influences too. Both stand head and shoulders with the best in retro Electro, melodic and robotic in just the right places. And then there’s ‘Synth Vs. Sea’, a Tangerine Dream-esque atmospheric analog synth love song.

♫ Miroir – Kites

♫ Miroir – Night Sky

♫ Miroir – Synth Vs. Sea

It’s really a exciting thing when producers get to express themselves beyond the confines of what’s expected of them, you get the feeling that Clancy & Build enjoyed making this EP as much as we enjoyed listening to it!

Check out the rest of the EP on the ever-awesome Holographic People’s SoundCloud.

Shelby Grey’s ‘Echoes, Dimensions & Waves’

Shelby Grey (A.K.A. Victor Palomo) releases new single ‘Echoes, Dimensions & Waves’ tomorrow.

Featuring the vocal talent’s of Ricco Vitali, the voice of Futurecop!’s ‘Venice Beach’ and the man behind Cavaliers Of Fun, ‘‘Echoes, Dimensions & Waves’ is a hypnotic ElectroPop track with an almost Balearic Nu-Disco groove. This is a real laid back tune, best suited for those sunset moments when the world is full of opportunity and promise, where it provide the prefect soundtrack. With that digital slap bass and smooth vocals this is the track I’d want to hear after a long night.

♫ Shelby Grey (Feat. Ricco Vitali) – Echoes, Dimensions & Waves

Not always sunrise? Don’t worry, this amazing reMix package holds a track for every mood. Beaumont is first up, with another downtempo electro track. The man could quite easily carve a solid niche for himself with track like this. Completely enveloping synth atmospherics with a solid beat. Clancy’s tracks just keep getting stronger and stronger and his mix here is a full on Dreamwave floorfiller to get lost in. Speaking of Dreamwave, One of the pioneers of the sound, Valerie’s Stephen Falken drops a reMix of soundtracky, sweeping retro Electro that get’s it’s synth groove on in a massive build whilst Worship’s contribution is an awesome analog synth Disco odyssey that appeals to the synth geek in me in ways I cannot express!

Clancy reMixes Kisses new single

Clancy, who is amongst the best up and coming producers around, stopped by the electronic rumors inbox to drop off his latest reMix.

‘Midnight Lover’ is the new single from LA Indie-DiscoPop duo Kisses and Clancy’s does a sterling job on his reMix. The bouncy bass keeps the track driving along but it’s genius lies in the layers of chords and intertwining riffs that allow the vocals to sit at just the right level. Absorbing as hell, this reMix wraps you up in it’s beats and carries you away.
