Gemini Club reMixes Chilly Gonzales

Chicago’s Gemini Club are going from strength to strength, their latest production, a reMix of Electro Piano-man Chilly Gonzales forthcoming single ‘You Can Dance’, is pure gold.

Taking on a Gonzales track must be pretty daunting, the mans ‘Ivory Tower’ album is an incredible piece of work, but Gemini Club have risen to the challenge in a laid back Disco style. Interweaving electric piano with synth burbling the trio make the track slightly more urgent and include the best drop and build I’ve heard all year that kicks back into a screaming synth solo.

♫ Chilly Gonzales – You Can Dance (Gemini Club reMix)

‘You Can Dance’ will be available from 1st March with a reMix package including work from Robotaki, Max Tundra, Shadow Dancer, Edwin Van Cleef and Popular Computer.

Ren Riz’s new tune

We’ve got the latest jam from Aussie Ren Riz right here.

This guys tunes keep getting better and better. With ‘Beside Me’ he flips into French-House mode, heavy on the Disco breaks and the filtering and rocks a really simple, but well used vocal sample. A couple of nice drops keeps the energy going as the track rolls over a running bassline. This tune deserves to tear up some dancefloors, I hope it gets the chance to soon.

DāM-FunK and Nite Jewel keep it funky

It’s been ages since Synth-Funk master DāM-FunK and Nite Jewel supposedly teamed up to record an album under the moniker Nite-Funk. Apparently the album will finally be surfacing later this year, but until then this track might provide a glimpse of what to expect.

DāM-FunK’s reMix of Nite Jewel’s ‘It Goes Through Your Head’ will appear on the forthcoming single out later this month and it’s exactly what I’d want the Nite-Funk album to sound like. I love DāM-FunK’s synth work so much, he just gets that 80’s Post-Funk ElectroPop perfectly which makes a nice counter for Ramona Gonzalez’s vocals.

♫ Nite Jewel – It Goes Through Your Head (DāM-FunK Clubdub)

‘It Goes Through YOur head’ is out soon on Mexican Summer.

Moullinex’s thank you

Portuguese Electro-Funk meister Moullinex had dropped a free tune on his SoundCloud as a thank you to everyone who bought his latest EP.

The ‘Chocolat EP’, released last week on Gomma Dance Tracks is four tracks of kickin’ Electro grooves. Now featured on the EP, however, is this thank you track, ‘Love it Is, Then’, a storming Disco tune with more than a hint of early 90s dance and more than a hint of S’Express. No idea why it didn’t make the EP, but here it is for you now!

♫ Moullinex – Love it Is, Then

Moullinex’s ‘Chocolat EP’ is out now!

New Worship track!

This is more like it!

Swiss synth wizard Worship has dropped a new tune! ‘Bavaria 1999’ is a sweeping analog epic. A cosmic Space-Synth track that takes you an a sonic journey to other galaxies. Sprinkled with just a tiny hint of Daft Punk, Worship perfectly walks the line between Space-Synth and Nu-Disco, taking the soaring leads and otherworldly arpeggios from the former and the beats and Disco basslines from the latter.

All-in-all, excellent stuff.

♫ Worship – Bavaria 1999

Worship’s next release will be more dancefloor orientated, can’t wait!
