[MP3] Clancy’s ‘How To Hold On To You’

The one and only Clancy’s back in the production hot seat with a brand new track. We always tend to love it when this dude drops a new track, and so far he hasn’t disappointed. His new tune, How To Hold On To You, can be added to the ‘hasn’t disappointed yet’ pile.

How To Hold On To You continues on Clancy journey from Dreamwave hero, to Nu-Disco groover, to House jackmaster. This one’s all about pulsating deep basses, infectious piano riffs and snatches of diva vocals. Soundtracking a late 80s Chicago warehouse, How To Hold On To You, rises and falls with swells of emotion as to hooks you in and keeps you entranced until the end. It’s track like this that make us glad the Chicago House sound came back.

[Audio] Ryan Riot reMixes Two Door Cinema Club

World dominating IndiePoppers Two Door Cinema Club are starting to sound a little samey if you ask us. There’s only so many combinations of frantic off-beat hi-hats, syncopated riffs, and summery leads. just take the track Handshake, for their last album, Beacon. It sounds like a Two Door Cinema Club song, like someone’s worked out a formula for that. At least we can count on the likes of Swiss Dreamwaver Ryan Riot to spruce things up a little.

Ryan does the job properly, adding a bouncy synth bassline and some kicking dance drums. Most of the original song is still there kicking about, but Riot elevated the track to new, exiting places with a few well-placed dance music tropes. On the whole it’s a decided improvement on the track, which becomes an exciting Indie-Electro floorfiller in Ryan Riot’s hands.

[MP3] Touch Tone reMixes Goldroom

Here’s the recent NightWaves single reMixed by Short Circuit. Wait. Sorry. Flashback. What I meant to say is here’s the recent Goldroom single reMixes by Touch Tone. I do love it when the old Binary crew get together for tracks, makes me feel nostalgic before I’ve even pressed play, and I can always trust that pressing play will live up to my expectations.

No fear here, Touch Tone crafts the prefect breezy vibe for the track. Slightly Tropical, the track flows like water, the dreamy vocals curling in and out of Touch Tone’s laid-back Disco like smoke. Built on a French-Disco-esque piano riff, the reMix takes it time to deliver soul shaking bass and a rolling beat over it’s relaxed five minute run. This is cruising music, a feel good tune that sweeps all your worries away.

[MP3] Lancelot’s ‘Higher Ground’

Fresh Australian producer Lancelot, who released the awesome We Can Dance last year on Binary, has just unexpectedly made his return with this lush, Housy Disco tune. The free download comes after quite a period of relative quiet front he man, but that’s fine, we here are big believers in quality over quantity and think the current culture of having to release all the time is harmful for fans and producers alike. right here Lancelot proves why it’s best to take your time and get it right, he definitely brings the quality.

Higher Ground mixes up deep House vibes with Tropical Disco feel, which makes for a euphoric, feel-good, but irresistibly dancey tune. Hypnotic, but funky the track wraps you in it’s arms and doesn’t let go until the dance is over. this is truly one to get lost in on the dancefloor. We’re hoping that 2013 is a year we will hear a lot more from Lancelot.

[Video] TNUC takes on Steve Moore

there’s a brand new video from Uncle TNUC! The originator of the edited up Dreamwave video is back, and this time he;s tackling Steve Moore’s beautiful Dawn Of Primordial Life.

TNUC goes with the flow on this one. Mixing up an 80s caveman (not sure of source) and some plains nature, TNUC tells a pretty compelling narrative.

[MP3] Future Screens’ ‘One Summer’

Brooklyn Indie-electro trio Future Screens return this month to bring you summer imagined summer warmth in this chilly January. Once again mixing up the Indie, ElectroPop and Chillwave vibes, Futures Screens have dropped another easy pleaser. This time, invoking the powers of Dreamwave to aid them in their warm weather anthem.

One Summer, obviously the prefect title for this tune, is, as we just mentioned, probably the most anthemic track these guys have produced to date. A big nostalgic sing-a-long that covers you in waves of lush, dreamy synths and heartfelt vocals and a chorus that will be stuck in your head all day. Future screens always like to stay on the edge, writing catchy Pop songs but injecting them with a little experimental flair, and they do this perfectly hear, balancing and Indie-Pop crowd pleaser with something a little more intelligent. Good times.

[Audio] Final DJs’ ‘One Day In The Sun’

Released at the end of the month is the new single from Germany’s finest, Final DJs. This time round we are treated to a vocal track from these guys, enlisting the smooth tones of Stee Downes. The mere idea of Final DJs doing a vocal track is enough to get us excited, and the track doesn’t disappoint.

The single is titled One Day In The Sun, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Final DJs have conjured up a laid back, summery, slice of synth love. Drawing on all their talents in Dreamwave, Nu-Disco and House, the guys have delivered a track that covers all those bases. The floaty synth pads of Dreamwave, the funky licks of Nu-Disco and a storming House undercurrent all work together prefect with Stee’s good-time vocals being the icing on the cake. It’s all about the endless summer.

[Audio] Televisor’s ‘Starlight’

Out now on Monstercat is the latest release from London based Televisor. Starlight was released last week and it really does exactly what it says on the tin. This is an uplifting beam of starlight with a beat. This international duo seriously get their groove on for this new single, a peak time floorfiller.

Starlight sees SynthWavers Televisor moving even further into big room Nu-Disco territories. Exploring a Madeon/Lenno sound Televisor hit just the right notes, bringing big beats, funky cut-ups and layers upon layers of thick synths. And no big Nu-Disco track would be complete without a rocking solo, and Televisor take it stratospheric. We can see this tune getting a lot of play in the coming months.
