[Audio] The C90s’ new track

The C90s

We’ve Got Love is the new track from London Disco duo The C90s. We’ve been pretty eagerly awaiting some new material from these two for a while, recently their efforts have been concentrated on mixtapes and some storing DJ spots, but Danny and Jamie are now back with this infectious slice of Indie-Disco.

With a strong New York Disco/DFA groove, We’ve Got Love is their first original track since 2010’s Shine A Light (although both Danny and Jamie have produced as other projects, most recently Earl Grey for Danny) and shows that they haven’t been wasting their time. Honing their skills and sliding toward a smooth sound that is part Disco, part introspective Indie with heaps of retro cool. The beats in this track are almost B-boy and give tune a solid base for a pulsating bass, magical synths and a hushed vocal, all intersected by a funky Superstitious lead line. We’d definitely like to hear more like this please.

[Audio] SaiR’s new tune

sair

Hot on the heels of his new EP for Rosso Corsa, Portuguese Dreamwave SaiR is already filling up our ears with more of his smooth, Jazzy, retro Nu-Disco sounds. This new one, Mornings, is a musical treat that’s primed to ease you into the week.

Mornings a blissfully laid back, Moog Funk infused, Disco tune layered with so many melodies it should sound really cluttered, but in SaiR’s capable hands everything flows together perfectly. Running throughout is a lush electric piano that lends a cool Jazz swing as it breezes along a dense, Funky backing. just the right tempo to keep the energy up, but also wash you in relaxed vibes. SaiR delivers mood changes with skill too, as the just-under six minute track injects the occasional Cosmic build and growling Electro Boogie breakdown  Perfect introspective Disco listening.

[Audio] SaiR’s new EP

SaiR

Well, this is a nice surprise for the end of the week. One of our favourite SynthWave artists, Portuguese producer Ruben Allen, A.K.A. SaiR, has just released a shiny new EP on none other than Rosso Corsa Records. It’s been a while since we heard from SaiR, but it looks like his time hasn’t been going to waste.

The Sunfield EP holds four tracks from SaiR output in the last couple of years, each one loaded with a sweet nostalgic synth Funk. Kicking off with Clockwise, rocking an Electro-Funk bassline and a punchy buzzing lead. Clockwise twists it’s way through Disco, SynthWave and Funk, revelling in the best of each with some glorious synth sounds and melodic playing. Shoreline conjures a mood of lazy afternoons in the sun with it’s laid back vintage synth style and some dreamy melodies. Sunfield delivers an even more chilled groove that sees SaiR getting a little synth Jazzy while Bright merges the best LA Funk with, and Herbie Hancock style keyboard wizardry, with blissful Dreamwave. If you’re a fan if Disco, Funk or SynthWave this EP is a must. Also, the guy on the cover (pictured above) is Ruben’s old-man, in the 70s, dirt-biking it!

[MP3] Dublin Aunts edit Manuel Tur

Manuel Tur

Cyclist dropped this one in his October mixtape, it’s Australia’s finest Disco-House export Dublin Aunts and their cheeky little bootleg Edit of German Housemeister Manuel Tur’s single of earlier this year, Back To Me. Apparently the guys “Always heard shades of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rhiannon’ in there” and so dropped a little Mac guitar into the chorus and smoothed things out a bit. The result is dreamy.

The track immediately carries you along on it’s warm, rumbling bass, and you’ll find most of the track kept largely intact. It’s just as compelling, just as hazy, just as blissful, but with a little extra added something. that something is a weird folky vibe that somehow compliments the track perfectly. Making the link between Tur’s tune and Rhiannon is the genius here, and we totally see where Dublin Aunts were coming from. We’re gonna’ save this for Sunday.

[MP3] Starcadian reMixes Unique

Unique

Here’s the fresh reMix, of an old school track, from a guy who is easily one of our favourite new producers this year. To us it seemed that in 2012 Brooklyn’s Starcadian came from nowhere and dropped immense production that put may others to shame. His massive Electro and Disco sounds have kept us moving throughout most of the second half of the year, and with a new album in the making, Starcadian has unleashed his remix of Unique’s 1983 DiscoPop classic What I Got Is What You Need to tide us over.

Starcadian shows us his smooth side, mixing up his chainsaw Electro and fantasy Cosmic Disco with some laid back funk. Twisted Moog bass and a driving beat underpin this slick track, letting the original’s vocals hazily drift in and out of the track, lifted by Starcadian;s euphoric piano rises and lush strings. True to form the man gets a little gritty and Sci-Fi in the breakdown, which makes it all that much sweeter when the Disco groove kicks back in. This is probably Starcadian’s most Funk fuelled tune to date, purpose built for late night dancefloors.

[Audio] Xtrafunk’s new tune

Xtrafunk

Out next month is the new single from one of 2012’s rising stars, German producer Xtrafunk. This guy has been making a name for himself ,over the summer, as a purveyor of shimmering beach part vibes and a retro funk sound. His latest single features some smooth vocals from Loumar and Nas, which just add to Xtrafunk blissful mood.

We’re just about to hit December, and here in London things are pretty chilly, but Deep Down’s smooth retro chords and wicked little licks have the power to warm us right up. Loumar’s silky,  soulful, vocal glides over the track likes walking on air while beneath her velvety tones Xtrafunk rocks warm electric piano, feel-good percussion and a track that rises and falls. Building toward the choruses and easing you back down for the verses. Beach party Disco for the winter months. Xtrafunk has delivered.

Deep Down is taken from the Last Summer Sun EP, coming 10th December.
