[Download] The Villars’ ‘Take Control’ (+ Sohight & Cheevy, Serj V and Phalanxes Of Fingers reMixes)

We haven’t heard from Russian label Wearerussians.com for a little while, but they’ve just released a new single, free as usual, which immediately reminds us of how shockingly good the producers in this collective are. Having previously taken many Nu-Disco and SynthWave producers to school, the label is turning it’s attention to a more House-y vibe with the new release from Saint Petersburg native The Villars. With a packed reMix package that includes work from label staples like Sohight & Cheevy, Serj V and Phalanxes Of Fingers.

The Villars’ original version of Take Control is full on a Chicago House monster. A total warehouse vibe with some pretty nostalgic early 90s style vocals set to some dark, abrasive, but funky, synth work. Sohight & Cheevy keep the retro House vibe going but up the energy levels a bit. The riffs are bigger, the bassline is bigger, the beats are bigger, as Sohight & Cheevy wrap the tune in a euphoric piano hook and punchy bass. Phalanxes Of Fingers’ mix walk the line between Deep House and Bleep House, and may be out favourite of the package. A deep groove rolls along of thick, dark, bass tones while an early Warp Records-style lead draw the listener into the track’s electronic black hole. Definitely one for the strobe lights. Elsewhere Serj V brightens things up with a House track with more than a little air of LA Dreamwave about it. It’s bright synths and playful arpeggios being the happy high-point of the single. These three sit alongside work from Ovrkl The Frost and Johanssen, an amazing reMix package that you can pick up for free here.

[Download] Jupiter reMixes Concorde’s ‘Floating’

You may remember Parisian outfit Concorde as the reMix artists on the opening track of fellow French artists Jupiter’s Juicy reMixes reMix album, tacking the track Oh I. Now the DiscoPop duo are returning the favour be delivering the booming version of Concorde’s new single, Floating There.

Eschewing the almost trademark shiny, mirrorball, DiscoPop stylings in favour of a trendy House sound, Jupiter bring it deep. After teasing us with a little quirky ElectroPop into, the tune soon launces into it’s Chicago inspired, strobe lit, core. 909 beats and punchy sine basses give the track that classic House vibe, whilst Jupiter get playful with the vocals a riffs that hint at their Disco origins. A surprising, and classic House tune from Jupiter.

[Download] Goldroom’s ‘Embrace’ reMixed by Awkoder

With so many reMixes of Goldroom’s excellent Embrace knocking about these days it’s pretty hard to make your stand out from the crowd. The best way to do this, we have realised from listening to dozens, it to truly make the song your own, you’re not going to out-chilled-Disco Goldroom so don’t bother, to make it different and unique. And that’s exactly what French SynthWaver Awkoder has done.

I’m not sure we can even call Awkoder a SynthWaver anymore, especially after this proto-Rave, slightly Deep House track. You can tell Awkoder comes from a retro background, there’s a whole heap of late 80s dance tropes going on, the melodic synth stabs really make the track, Pair them up with a deep digital bassline and a warehouse beat and you’ve got a new direction for Embrace. The reMix is loaded with vocal modulation too, making the original unrecognisable at times, how’s that for making it your own?

[Download] Arcadis’ ‘Chicago Alley’

We first wrote about German producer Arcadis back in October of last year, featuring his London Lights EP. Right now we’re checking out his new track, Chicago Alley, and can only conclude that the Deep House producer is working his way toward a concept album fashioned around the theme of cities of the world. Either that or the man just enjoys paying homage to tow of House music’s established homes. Either way his new tune is pretty storming.

Chicago Alley will be right up your…er…alley if you have a penchant for booming, pulsating synths, warm vocal samples and old school Chicago beats. They pay between the tunes deep sine-y basses and the haunting, heavily reverbed vocals create a nice, soulfully robotic, groove jumping over a heavy, heavy beat. Perfect warehouse fodder, drop this when the crowd are right in the middle of the dancefloor trance. Another quality tune from Arcadis.

[Audio] Ben Mono’s ‘No Lights’

Dance music renaissance man Ben Mono is never one to sty away from mixing up styles and flipping from one genre to another. We’ve seen him churn out Electro-House, Nu-Disco, Boogie, 90s House, at times mashing up one or more flavours. His latest single, No Lights, does exactly that. Bringing together a little Deep House and a little UK Garage he’s delivered another floorfiller.

Riding the wave of shuffling Garage-esque beats, this rumbling House track lays down everything you need to work up a sweat. the bassline alone is worth the admission price, a hollow sine affair that is both robotic and soulful. Add to this a rolling vocal sample and lush, rising, synths and you got a tune that transcends genres and lives on the dancefloor.

♫ Ben Mono – No Lights (Original Mix)

Ben Mono’s No Lights is released 14th October.

[Audio] Maya Jane Coles’ ‘No Stick’

No Stick is a bran new track from Maya Jane Coles that features on the Burning Bright (with Hercules And Love Affair’s Kim Ann Foxman) remix single released late last month. Burning Bright is one of our tunes of the year, but if you needed any more convicting to go out and grab yourself a copy, check out No Stick.

This is the perfect compliment to Maya’s amazing Comfort album, No Stick is no mere B-side. This is a deep, hypnotic, funky-as-hell dancefloor destroyer. Rumbling sine basslines, shuffling House beats and a sledgehammer vocal sample all join forces to deliver a slightly Dub influenced mesmerizing tune that you could really loose yourself in on the dancefloor.
