It’s an eight minute Disco odyssey that worms it way into your brain. When you start listening to it you’re thinking “yeah, it’s got a good groove”…by the end, IT’S YOUR WHOLE LIFE!
The infections bassline hypnotizes you into submission and then, around 6:50 minutes in, it drops the synth shredding on you.
The Golden Filter have been reMixing like crazy recently, hitting up the likes of Cut Copy, Little Boots & Empire Of The Sun, and now they are ready to drop their début single.
The track itself had been around for a while now and is a chilled Disco stop-starter.
Aeroplane have been knocking out some fantastic reMixes these past 12 months (as well as producing some mighty fine tunes themselves!). each one a slice of Italo infused Nu-Disco excellence!
Here are some of their best, starting with their most recent for Cobra Dukes.
I loved the ’09-14 2007′ 12″, that ’11H30′ comes from, just loved it. A huge, noisy, Electro-House, Nu-Disco monster that threatened to steal Kavinsky‘s synth solo crown!
Danger does a good job on ‘Into The Galaxy’ one of my favourite Midnight Juggernauts songs too.
In honour of the return of Battlestar Galactica to our screens for it’s final run (absolutley badass episode BTW!), let us celebrate with Giorgio Moroder‘s 1978 disco version of the Original series’ theme tune. That fanfare brings a smile to my face every time, even if it is awash with glitterball strings!
As well as Giorgio’s disco touch this track also features Harold Faltermeyer, of ‘Axel F’ fame, rockin’ the Moog!
Don’t you just love it when you’ve got tickets to see a band you want to see (in this case Simian Mobile Disco) and they just keep piling other bands, you also want to see, onto the bill!
I found out yesterday that Fan Death are supporting!!!
Last year Fan Death released their début single ‘Veronica’s Veil’, a heady mix of dark Indie-Electro, Disco strings and Pop melodies.
I hope their live performace is as interesting as they seem to be, it should be a cool night.
Hey, another post topic decided on by gig tickets!
I just managed to get hold of tickets for Mystery Jets as part of the NME tour, I had thought they were sold out but after a bit of digging I managed to get hold of some. I’m not at all bothered about Mystery Jets, I want to see the support act, Little Boots.
So now seems a good time to blog about Little Boots because soon she is going to be huge and blogging about her will be far too passé 😉 .
Little Boots is Victoria Hesketh, ex of Dead Disco, (with a little help from Hot Chip‘s Joe Goddard) who is fast on her way to becoming one of the finest electronic songwriters this country has ever produced.
The focus of a recent article in The Guardian about women in electro, Little Boots connects with her fans by uploading videos to YouTube of her performing covers suggested to her by her channels viewers. The cover versions proove just how talented she is, she’ll just sit there with her piano, a Stylophone and her Tenori-on and knock them out! And, boy!, what this girl can do with a Tenori-On…completely made me change my mind about the device!
Ideally I’d be wanting to write about new music and stuff, but there’s also so much from the last six months or so that I want to share. I have no idea where to begin.
This morning my tickets to see La Roux (supporting Lily Allen) in Shepherd’s Bush showed up, so I guess that is a good enough place to start…
London’s La Roux, the latest signing to the mighty Kitsuné Music, is an odd beast. I think it would be fair to say La Roux is a bit like Marmite, you’ll either love it or hate it. I wasn’t so sure when I first heard it but it has very much grown on me, I kinda’ have a thing for female vocalists with quirky voices though.
So grab yourself some of Elly Jackson’s unique, to say the least, voice over some addictivly funky SynthPop…
Seeing as how La Roux is going to be supporting Lily Allen I’ll throw you this unofficial reMix of her forthcoming single, which I picked up from PrettyMuchAmazing!, too:
