Mirror People (House/Electronica producer Rui Maia) has worked his Moroder influence magic on French renaissance man Serge Gainsbourg’s ‘Sea, Sex & Sun’.
Totally getting his Moog funk on, Rui is on a complete disco trip here, form the P-Funk bassline to the squelchy leads it seems to make a kinda’ backing for Serge being his usual dirty old man self!

It’s been a while since we last wrote about the mastermind behind Dutch ElectroPoppers Le Le Rimeroni Vumani A.K.A. Rimer London.
The man is following up last years solo EP ‘Innercity’ with a new album in the coming months preceded by this single we have right here. ‘Squaring the Triangle’ is a deep analog Disco journey with extra 70’s synth cool. From it’s pulsing bassline to it’s piano backed lead line there’s no glossy 21st century production here, this is old school synthesizer funk that’s both refreshing and ace to listen to.
♫ Rimer London – Squaring The Triangle
‘Squaring The Triangle’ is set for release 21th October with reMixes from TWR72, Beesmunt and Awanto 3.
You gotta’ love a good old fashioned, salt-of-the-earth The Twelves reMix! It’s something you can rely on to be absolutely banging.
Munk is the subject of this latest rework, and his forthcoming new single ‘Violent Love’ (taken from his awesome ‘Mondo Vagabondo’ EP). The Twelves layer their Nu-Disco on thick, with a laidback, but dancey, groove with hints of dub and dancehall in the production and a slight 90’s house piano feel. It’s a full on combination but one that works so well you can’t help but move to it!
♫ Munk – Violent Love (The Twelves reMix)
Munk’s ‘Violent Love’ is released 12th November on Gomma.
I’ve got a bit of a love/hate relationship with Mark Ronson (And The Business INTL)’s new album ‘Record Collection’. Some of the tracks on there are amazing, ‘Band Bang Bang’ is one of my favourite songs of the year, but some of it is a bit dreary.
Anyway, the third single from the album is the Boy George featuring ‘Somebody To Love Me’ and Team Ronson have made the excellent decision to get super cool fellow NYC residents Holy Ghost! to reMix the track. They bring with them their unique brand of analog DIY Disco turning the track into a gritty discoball epic. Let the Garage Disco roll!
♫ Mark Ronson & The Business INTL (Feat. Boy George & Andrew Wyatt) – Somebody To Love Me (Holy Ghost! reMix)
‘Somebody To Love Me’ is out 26th November.
Penguin Prison’s new single ‘Golden Train’ is less than a month from release. I used to call PP Bedroom Pop, I’m not sure if I still can, his sound had defiantly got bigger and the new single is the best example of this so far.
Some awesome reMixes grace the single too. Sam Sparro delivers what i consider to be the best, it’s a Disco Pop workout that got an infectious groove that’s just a suited to the dancefloor as the radio. UK outfit Boxed In turn in a broken Techno/Disco mix with added Jazz piano!
‘Golden Train’ is shaping up to be an excellent single package!

‘Golden Train’ is released on 22nd November.
T.B.S. (A.K.A. The Bloody Sisters) are a Parisian duo who are bringing the fuck back to us after all this dark synth stuff! 😉
‘Rock Your Body (T.B.S. AutoreMix)’ features American singer Enois Scroggins and Frenchman Rpiz on the talkbox and is some severely groove laden French Touch to chill you out with a rolling bass you can’t resist! The Frenchmen have also reMixed Walter Sobcek’s awesome ‘Je Me Souviens’ layering the dreamy SynthPop with their own Disco style.
The prefect comedown to a stressful day!

The ‘Rock Your Body’ single is released 29th October in Sismic Music.
Mid-90’s funkateers Jamiroquai are kicking back this year with a new album and someone on team Jamiroquai has good taste when it comes to picking reMixers ‘cos you can’t get better than Monarchy and Penguin Prison!
‘White Knuckle Ride’ will be the lead single from the forthcoming album ‘Rock Light Dust Star’ and it gets transformed into two awesome slices of DiscoPop by Monarchy and Penguin Prison. Both versions are top quality but if I had to, gun to the head, favour one I think it would be Monarchy’s ElectroPop/Nu-Disco slant (although PP’s had a wicked lead line!)
♫ Jamiroquai – White Knuckle Ride (Monarchy reMix)

‘Rock Light Dust Star’ comes out this November.
The Miami Horror album is out soon! Less than a month until the release of Melbourne’s Electro-Disco-Pop gurus long awaited LP, ‘Illumination’.
‘I Look To You’, from the album, features the vocal work of New Zealand based up and coming singer/songwriter Kimbra. It’s a total summer party jam (let’s hope the weather hold up ‘til the album’s out!), full-on Balearic Disco with some massive horns topped of with Kimbra’s amazingly sweet vocals.

‘Illumination’ drops 20th August on Virgin.
Wave Machines are an Indie-Electro outfit from Liverpool with an eclectic sound. Sounding a little like a collision between a more guitar driven Clock Opera and the Bee-Gees the four piece are releasing a new Digital EP, along with various vinyl bundles.
The EP has some nice tracks on it but the standout has to be this reMix of ‘Keep The Lights On’ by UK reMixers Artwork. The reMix takes the vocals to where they were meant to be with a smooth cosmic Disco groove and a real analog feel.
♫ Wave Machines – Keep The Lights On (Artwork reMix)
Wave Machine’s début album ‘Wave If You’re Really There’ is out now and their new EP and vinyl sets can be purchased from their website.
The Aikiu, brainchild of French producer Alex Aikiu and has just released his first single, ‘Just Can’t Sleep’ on Abracada. It a pretty sweet slice of Indie-Disco and an ode to late 70’s/early 80’s New York clubland. fittingly the man has been working with Chic’s Nile Rogers.It’s got a lot of early 80’s Pop in there as well as Disco, but however you want to classify it, it’s a damn good début.
Check the video:
The single comes packaged by reMixes from Egyptrixx, Azari & III, Mighty Mouse and Clement Meyer. As well as that fine lot check out these two free reMixes. Sovnger’s mutation into a French-Electro banger and chilled, almost Dubby, Space Disco from Stupid Human.
