Pat Lok’s new track

Pat Lok

On The Fruit Records have just dropped the latest track from Canadian Nu-Disco producer Pat Lok. the title track from Pat’s new single. Good times!

‘Remember’ is a dream of a track. Even though it has a really solid groove, the track seems to float on by, carried on clouds made of Funk. In general ‘Remember’ has got a bit of an LA vibe about it, both in the Funk and in the beach Disco departments, I imagine that this tune is going to go down a storm at quite a few parties in that part of the world, that’s not to say it won’t be rockin’ more than a few dancefloors elsewhere too. Keep hitting play ‘cos once the track gets 5,000 plays, On The Fruit are gonna’ release the download!

Quixotic

Quixotic

Quixotic is a Hungarian producer who’s been kicking around various music scenes for a few years now but has recently turned his hand towards the worlds of Nu-Disco, SynthWave and Italo. And we’re glad he did.

There’s a few tracks over on his SoundCloud page worth your attention, but here are a few that capture his style. That style being big, thick, retro Italo basslines awash with rich Nu-Disco grooves. ‘Étoiles’ is the big stand out for me, it’s a massive slice of Italo flavoured Cosmic Disco which is driven by a pounding bassline and razor sharp keys and perfectly shows what Quixotic has to offer. Twisting arpeggios play of melodic leads to evolve into new line, giving the tack the feel of an epic journey. ‘Apology’ is his latest tune, a slow jam with a muted disco lick and heartfelt vocoded vocals. ‘Streetlife’ borrows heavily from The Crusaders’ track of the same name but injects it with even more Funk and a healthy dose of modern, deep synth bassed, Nu-Disco. This tune features one of the best lead solos I have heard this year, Herbie Hancock style.

Sébastien Tellier ‘Cochon Ville’

Sébastien Tellier

Next month sees French ElectroPop genius Sébastien Tellier finally release his long awaited (well, around here definitely) new single ‘Cochon Ville’, after the brief welcome back of ‘Pépito Bleu’ it’s a funk return to form that leaves us excited for his forthcoming album, ‘My God Is Blue’.

Produced by Ed Banger’s Mr. Flash, the track is smooth slice of French DiscoPop that’s backed by some awesome reMixes. The Magician us front and centre with a track that harkens back to the days of Pet Shop Boys at the Disco. Shifting the mood of the tune into one of  late night ‘80’s dancefloors The Magician takes you on a synthesized journey through rain soaked back alleys and seedy bars. Hey Champ! take on the track is pure ‘80’s ElectroPop Funk with hints of Axel F while Dimitri From Paris’ Acid soaked Disco is a strange, but pleasing collision between burbling 303’s and ‘70’s Moroder.

Louis La Roché’s new single

louis_la_roche

Today one of the UK’s Nu-Disco champions Louis La Roché releases his new single, the Ad-Apt featuring ‘Untrue’.

Recently Louis has had no fear of playing fast and loose with styles and influences and ‘Untrue’ sees him playing about with his Disco sound, adding some rhymes and R&B vocals to create something new. The result is a track that is both incredibly funky, and incredibly commercial. With all the qualities to make a British summer hit, ‘Untrue ‘ could see La Roché gaining the mainstream recognition he definitely deserves. The B-side, ‘Touch Wood’ is a smooth as silk, straight-to-the-floor, Moog Funk/Nu-Disco collision which you’ll probably be hearing a lot from this year on late night dancefloors. Big piano and slick Disco licks see Louis keeping it tight, oh and it’s got a killer solo.

♫ Louis La Roché (Feat. Ad-Apt) – Untrue

♫ Louis La Roché – Touch Wood

Louis La Roché  will be treating London to a headlining DJ set at this month’s Human Error at 93 Feet East. He’ll be spinning some tunes alongside the likes of Phonat, The Young Punx, Bobby Tank and Discosocks, all playing live as part of Human Error’s hook up with MofoHifi Records in a night that is not to be missed. Details here.

DMX Krew’s new EP

dmx_01

Coming soon on Voltaire Records is the latest EP from one of our favourite artists, the almighty DMX Krew.

‘East Side Boogie’ sees a welcome return of the Electro Funk, Moog Disco and Vodocder DMX Krew, with EDMX. The title track is all B-Boy Beats, New York Disco chords and tons of poppin’ electro toms. It;s the perfect Breaker’s anthem, a call to uprock with a Disco flavour. The EP contains six track of cosmic, electronic, real Electro. Vintage drum machine beats hammer out robotic rhythms while fat analog synths craft atmospheres think with groove. This is 1981’s future, when the streets of The Bronx moves to an army of funky robots. I like the fact that EDMX does what the hell he likes, and you can never tell whether w DMX Krew release will be ElectroPop, B-Boy Electro, Moog Disco or something more experimental. But this kind of melodic, deep, Electro is where my DMX Krew preference lies. Can’t wait for the ‘East Side Boogie’ EP to be released.

♫ DMX Krew – East Side Boogie (Original)

♫ DMX Krew – Turing Test

♫ DMX Krew – Mind Bombs

♫ DMX Krew – East Side Boogie (reMix)

‘East Side Boogie’ is released soon.
