Shook reMixes Capital Cities

capital-cities

LA Indie-Dreamwave duo Capital Cities have become a bit of a mainstay here on electronic rumors in the last couple of years. We covered their latest single ‘Kangaroo Court’ back in March but now the EP is out it;s time to check out a reMix from one of the most musically talented Nu-Disco producers working today. Shook.

Shook channels all his ability into capturing the Funky side of Capital Cities home town. this is a huge slick of pure LA Funk and the Dutch producer works it like he was a native. this kind of pure groove is Shook at his best, it’s where his musicality is allows to shine though and it’s the reason people are lining up to work with him. The original’s upbeat Indie-Disco is reined in and told to ‘chill the fuck out’ resulting in some amazing, slick, west cost vibes. Thick Moogy basses and twisting Disco licks are the order of the day here.

♫ Capital Cities – Kangaroo Court (Shook reMix)

‘Kangaroo Court’ is released this week on Lazy Hooks.

Jupiter’s reMix of Sébastien Tellier’s ‘Cochon Ville’

Sébastien Tellier

French DiscoPop duo of the moment Jupiter made themselves a little DJ friendly version of fellow Frenchman Sébastien Tellier’s awesome current single ‘Cochon Ville’ for their last mixtape. Now they have released it, for free, in it’s entirety.

Jupiter’s version is a slick rolling Disco edit of the track. Ripe for the dancefloor Jupiter highlight that undulating Disco bassline. Stripping back the tune to it’s most basic Disco elements and the drawing them out over five minutes. With a particularly tension inducing build over the first half of the track until it drops you right into the heart of the song, this is definitely the mix to drop in the middle of the night.

♫ Sébastien Tellier – Cochon Ville (Jupiter’s Indian Summer reMix)

‘Cochon Ville’ is the first single taken from Sébastien Tellier‘s new album ‘My God Is Blue’ available now via Record Makers.

Shit Hot Soundsystem’s ‘Charlotte’

Shit Hot Soundsystem

Here is the new joint from London Nu-Disco producer Shit Hot SoundSystem, and it;s so damn funky it’s just made me use the word ‘joint’. Franky that could be the whole review right there!

‘Charlotte’ carries on from where the ‘Music & Lights’ EP left off and sees Shit Hot Soundsystem bringing the good vibes to the party. Nice thick synth bass underpins everything on this track, giving a nice, almost Housey backing for the huge Disco samples and piano riffs to work their magic. Shit Hot Soundsystem is giving away the track for free, well, for the price of an email address, which is a small price to pay for this much boogie.

Panda People’s new tune

panda people

Panda People are a German Indie-DiscoPop trio that we featured on Pop-Fu 08, way back in 2010, they’ve been pretty quiet of late but are about to finish up their forthcoming new single ‘Two Sinners’ and release it to the world.

Apparently there are a few mixing tweaks that still need to be made ‘Two Sinners’ before the formal release, but the guys have let us share with you the song in it’s pretty-much-finished form. ‘Two Sinners’ just reminds us of everything we loved about ‘Sophisticated Girl’, it’s breezy vocals, lush synths and catchy chorus that just compels you to join in. There a hint of new York IndiePop about the track, a bit of Passion Pit, and a bit of Miike Snow but with a electronic Disco groove. Slick Indie licks rubs shoulder with shimmering synths and a carefree singing style. Sumer hit? With enough exposure it would a just the thing for a summer of fun.

♫ Panda People – Two Sinners (Demo.)

‘Two Sinners’ will be out soon.

Goin’ Old School: Imagination, Front 242 & Tangerine Dream

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:

First up is some seriously smooth early ‘80’s, 1982 to be exact, electronic Soul from Imagination and their classic ‘Just An illusion’.

In the starkest contrast possible we have Front 242, with arguably their Poppiest song, ‘Tragedy For You’ from 1989.

And finally some relaxing, experimental, tones from Tangerine Dream’s ‘Tiergarten’ from 1985. Actually the flip side to ‘Le Parc’, one of the greatest synth tracks ever written.

Lovelock’s ‘Burning Feeling’

Lovelock

From the opening notes of the heavy synth bassline of the title track of ‘Burning Feeling’, the début album from Lovelock, you know something synthetically special is happening. Lovelock is one of the many monikers of Synth legend Steve Moore. I say ‘legend’ because the man has a prolific and consistently amazing out put. Whether it’s as in Zombi or Miracle or as Gianna Rossi or just himself you know that with the Moore stamp on it, you’re in for some amazing, emotional synth work.

His latest release, Lovelock’s ‘Burning Feeling’ is in part a collection of his work under this pseudonym to date, some of the tracks, including the title, date back a couple of years and will be familiar to most fans of synth music, whist some are brand new, and the two sit side by side effortlessly. maybe du in part to Moore’s retro influences, maybe just due to the sheer quality of the songs, nothing on the album sound dated (or at least, not dated in the bad sense of the word). The album is loaded with futuristic Sci-Fi soundscapes and Cosmic Disco grooves, robotic Italo basslines and heartfelt Funk. ‘Burning Feeling’ itself is one of the most powerful SynthPop tracks you’ll hear in a while. Punchy EBM basslines and jackhammer drums mix with epic power ballad vocals to create a weird, but utterly amazing Industrial/Pop crossover. Elsewhere on the album Lovelock presents a more boogie laden Moroder-esque analog Disco vibe with track like ‘New Age Christ’ .Maybe Tonight’ and ‘The Fog’, albeit with his trademark warbling synth solos along for the ride. Mainly, though, ‘Burning Feeling’ is like the best collection of ‘80’s TV themes that never existed. ‘Deco District’ channels a more New York Disco version of Jan Hammer, as does ‘Love Reaction’ which ups the ante with some sweet female vocals. And in the middle of all this future funk and soundtrack majesty sits ‘South beach Sunrise’, a chilled out respite from the energy of the rest of the record, complete with a beautiful sax solo. ‘Burning Feeling’ truly is a masterpiece, an amazingly good album that impresses right from the moment you put it on. An electronic music fan’s record collection is just not complete without this album.

♫ Lovelock – Love Reaction

♫ Lovelock – Maybe Tonight

Lovelock’s ‘Burning Feeling’ is released 26th April on Prins Thomas’s Internasjonal imprint.
