AuReviourSimone

Brooklyn based DJ trio Punches are making a bit of a stir in blog world with their Trumpet infused Disco reMix of Indie-Electro girl band Au Revoir Simone’s ‘Only You Can Make Me Happy’

Punches, composed of twin brother DJs Finger On The Pulse, Alan Astor & The Kid Robb, create a perfect summertime vibe, completely different from the original, but with a horn riff and Disco bassline that you can’t help but love.

Peter Bjorn & John reMix The Golden Filter

 TheGoldenFilter03

The Golden Filter’s ‘Hide Me’ single is out this week and amongst the reMix package is this interpretation by  Peter Bjorn & John, or rather John Eriksson’s project Hortlax Cobra.

Atmospheric, floaty and quite experimental and featuring more of John’s vocals than the Penelope’s, the reMix strips The Golden Filter of their New York Disco but seems to keep their atmosphere and feeling of the original.

New Midnight Juggernauts reMixes

MidnightJuggernauts

It’s been a while since Midnight Juggernauts released ‘This New Technology’ and we’re glad to say the band are preparing to return with a brand new single, titled ‘Vital Signs’, on their own label, Siberia Records, in April.

So, to keep you going until then we’ve got a couple of recent reMixes of ‘This New Technology’ for you. First up is, no stranger to electronic rumors, Ccenturiess and the sweet rolling bassline of their Disco Funk mix. In quite stark contrast is the B-side to the limited edition ‘This New Technology’ 7” on Acephale, a dungeon & bass (heh!) remix by Babe Rainbow that fills your speakers with haunting sounds and a bowel loosening bassline!

Kavinsky + Lovefoxxx + Breakbot = OMG!!!

Kavinsky02

I really don’t know how much I can say here, the original of Kavinsky’s ‘Nightcall’ featuring shared vocal duties with Lovefoxxx of CSS is pretty incredible, elevating Kavinsky far far above being an electro-House or French House artist, it’s a proper, retro-tinged, ElectroPop track. it’s pretty dark (save for Lovefoxxx’s counterpoint vocals), it’s mid paced, and actually really emotive. There’s no ‘banging’ in sight. It’s, dare I say it, beautiful!

So, let’s throw Breakbot into the mix shall we! Although (and this is just my personal preference) I prefer the original, I absolutely cannot fault Breakbot’s Disco opus, it’s got everything, literally everything, you’d look for in a Disco track!

-Edit- I’ve removed the .mp3, apparently that wasn’t the finished master, which essentially means the final track will be even better!

The ‘Nightcall’ EP, the continuing adventures of the Dead Cruiser, is released 15th March and includes a reMix from Dustin N’Guyen, who is rumoured to be Xavier DeRosna, we shall see!

Breakbot is all yours

Breakbot

Breakbot’s first official EP for Ed Banger Records drops on Valentine’s Day. ‘Baby I’m Yours’, featuring Irfane on vocals, is some smooth Disco basslined French House.

With razor sharp production Breakbot clears the floor of all competitors as he show how this Synth Funk should be done. ‘Make You Mine’ is more of a chilled, summer Sunday, ElectroFunk Vocoderfest that i will defiantly be breaking out in a few months time!

Goldfrapp are finally back (*really* this time!)

Goldfrapp

For various reasons I was kinda’ putting off posting this, but the internet is awash with it so just in case you readers haven’t heard it yet here it is, the new Goldfrapp single.

Just to be clear, I really didn’t like the last album, ‘Seventh Tree’, the whole pseudo-pagan Folktronica thing just didn’t float my boat, which was a pity as I loved Goldfrapp previously.

So, are my Goldfrapp back? Hell yes!, ‘Rocket’, the forthcoming single, is a sweet slice of Electro/Pop/Disco that is pure classic Goldfrapp. A huge sing-a-long chorus hangs on this late 70’s/early 80’s-esq sci-fi Disco tune with its big synth strings and New Wave bassline.

Goldfrapp – Rocket (zShare) (MediaFire)

It seems the rest of the internet loved ‘Folkfrapp’ and is disappointed by this track, but then again, the rest of the internet also appears to be American strokey-beardy indie/folk blogs who wouldn’t know a good dance tune if it smacked them head first onto the dancefloor, so fuck ‘em! This track rocks!

‘Rocket’ will be the first single from the album ‘Head First’.

P.S. I’m still not convinced iamamiwhoami is a Goldfrapp thing, despite denials I still kinda’ think it’s Christina Aguilera!

Tesla Boy reMix Anoraak

Anoraak

Valerie collective staple Anoraak and Russia’s Tesla Boy are both electronic rumors favourites, so the idea of one reMix the other seems just to good to be true, but here it is!

Anoraak’s ‘Nightdrive With You’ hasn’t left my MP3 player since it was released last year, alone with it’s multitude of reMixes, here Tesla Boy do something a bit different, bringing some funky guitars and more of a classic Disco Funk vibe to the ElectroPop tune.

Compare it to the original, those opening keys still send shivers up my spine!

Get Stellar

GetStellar

What is it with Australians and Indie-Disco? The whole country seems like a music factory!

Next up is Get Stellar, hailing from Adelaide this duo have just dropped their first EP, ‘This Moment’, which features reMixes from the likes of G.L.O.V.E.S., Def Starr and Nick Supply.

The track itself is a infectious bassline fuelled Nu-Disco stormer that get’s taken to the next Disco level by reMixer extraordinaire G.L.O.V.E.S. who drops string and stabs all over the place. Def Starr’s reMix is slightly more chilled with a summery clubby vibe.

Miami Horror Vs. Codebreaker

MiamiHorror

Some deep funky Electro House with wicked retro synth riffs now from Codebreaker who have done a straight up P-Funk reMix of Miami Horror’s recently hyped track ‘Make You Mine’.

The Midwestern duo take Nu-Disco and get Funkadelic on it’s ass then stick Miami Horror through through the machine. The end result being a smooth, analog synthy, Disco Funk monster!
