Arnaud Rebotini covers ‘I Feel Love’

arnaud-rebotini

The Black Strobe man Arnaud Rebotini has just dropped this impressive cover of Donna Summer’s (well, Giorgio Moroder’s really) ‘I Feel Love’.

It’s an epic eight minutes of analog synth awesomeness. Everything from the drums to the instantly recognisable arpeggio is pitch perfect. This is no mere carbon copy, Rebotini makes it very much his own handling the vocals with use of a vocoder, but the vocals take a back seat throughout much of the track, the focus being more on a Rebotini knob twiddling Disco workout.

Toomy Disco & HiEM & Phil Oakey!

hiem

HiEM (Bozzwell and Nicco Eastwood)’s ‘2am’ featuring the vocals of The Human League’s Phil Oakey has been knocking around for a couple of years now, but was been given a new lease of life when Toomy Disco & Fernando were asked to reMix the track.

Washing the ElectroPop original with broad strokes of Disco, Toomy Disco & Fernando lay down a severe bass and guitar lick Funk that just seem to roll under Sir Phil’s vocals. Some nice big synth chords finish off the musical job layering the track think, only to be spaced out again with some vocal echo. This is a late night groover, fact.

HiEM recently released their excellent ‘Escape From Division Street’ album.

Who Killed JR? reMix Heartsrevolution

heartsrevolution

We haven’t seen that many entries for Heartsrevolution’s ‘Teenage Teardrops’ competition yet but with this mix sent to us by South African producer Who Killed JR? the bar is set pretty high.

Completely changing the sound of the track, WKJR? French Touches things up to 11 and sprinkles on a little RoboPop. This track has it all, a funkin’ bassline, jump out of your seat chord stabs, vocoder action and when all wrapped up words really well with Heartsrevolution’s original. Good work  Who Killed JR?.

Heartsrevolution – Teenage Teardrops (Who Killed JR?’s Black Flash reMix)

Heartrevolution’s new album, ‘Ride Or Die’ is out soon on Kitsuné Music.

Ali Jamieson

alijamieson

Ali Jamieson is a total synth geek, synth journo and one quarter of the band J-Treole. He’s also the man who produced ‘Four Thirty’, and it kicks ass.

A mid-tempo Nu-Disco jam with a dirty groove, ‘Four Thirty’ expertly counterpoints gritty chainsaw synths with slick Disco and Funk leads. The track is smooth and sexy as hell, the laid back analog vibing conjuring up nothing but good times .
