Countach

jordan f

So, what does pumped up SynthWave champion Jordan F do with his downtime form making epic action movie soundtracks? Apparently, he writes the smoothest love jams for those quite moments in his imaginary ‘80’s blockbusters’ under the name Countach.

This track, ‘Love Theme’, is (to continue the move theme) visually, blue light, white sheets, venetian blinds and beads of sweat. You get the idea. It’s all ‘80’s R&B rimshots and the vibe from LL Cool J’s ‘I Need Love’ creating the mood. and the that sax come in and… Well, that’s how we did things in the ‘80’s!

Starsmith reMixes St. Lucia

St. Lucia

Hey! What’s Starsmith been up to? Probably bust producing someone famous, or holed up with Ellie writing her next album? It’s been too long since he treated us to a track though. So it is with great excitement that we hear Fin’s reMix of St. Lucia’s ‘We Got It Wrong’.

Taken from St. Lucia’s forthcoming Neon Gold Records EP, released in March with a an album following later in the year, ‘We Got It Wrong’ is to have a reMix 12” all of it’s own in the lead up to the EP’s release, and that’s where the might talents of Starsmith come into play. Slick and silky Dreamwavey ElectroPop is the man’s forté, no-one does it quite like him, and with his rework of ‘We Got It Wrong’ he crafts a warm, immediately familiar feeling, Nu-Disco tune loaded with bright synths and lush pads. This is one I definitely can’t wait to play out, the kind of track that’ll make the dancefloor move as one. Also, around the 1m32m mark it’s got that sumptuous Starsmith drop that makes you instantly lost in the tune. The reMix 12” also includes work from a current favourite of ours,Lenno, and Xaphoon Jones, it’s gonna’ be well worth a look.

♫ St. Lucia – We Got It Wrong (Starsmith reMix)

The ‘We Got It Wrong’ 12” is released 14th February as a pre-cursor to March’s EP.

Mitch Murder’s ‘Heading South’

mitch murder

Mitch Murder is just on a roll, ever since the release of his ‘Current Event’s album (number two in our best albums of 2011!) he’s been delivering awesome new track after track, and basically taking the whole retro synth scene to school (which, I imagine, would be kinda’ like the detention in The Breakfast Club).

This week’s fresh cut is ‘Heading South’, which sees old Mitch going right to his outrun core. A SynthWave narrative of a race to the boarder, but Mr. Murder opts for a laid back groove to get him there. The synths shimmer, the beat drive, the tale is told. Right now you can’t expect a finer SynthWave track than one of Mitch Murder’s productions, you know what to expect, he constantly impresses with both his production and his musical talent. This is the soundtrack to our Saturday.

♫ Mitch Murder – Heading South

Mitch Murder’s ‘Current Events’ is out now.

Neon Indian’s ‘Fallout’ video

So, [adult swim] went after Neon Indian to convince him to let them make a video for him, I don’t think he needed much convincing, and the result is this clip for ‘Fallout’.

Lilfuchs directed this ‘80’s cartoon homage that works so well with Neon Indian’s chilled Dreamwave. Although I don’t remember so many boobs in M.A.S.K. or Pole Position.

‘Fallout’ is taken from Neon Indian’s sophomore album Era Extraña.

Sam Padrul’s new tune

Sam Padrul

‘Let’s Make History’ is the new track from Chicago based Funkmeister Sam Padrul.

Dropping a smooth slab of Funk with more soul, less robotics than his previous tracks Sam delivers a chilled get down jam. In his own words: “After having been listening to disco and early 80’s boogie records for the past several months, I was inspired to make a track that was more organic, downtempo, and groovier than my previous single, “All I Do”. In particular, this song was inspired a lot by Bill Withers’ “Bout Love” album, whose smooth Wurlitzers and Rhodes kept me groovin’.”. He’s nailed those slick, funky vocals perfectly. Nothing but good times could come from a track like this, it’s like an audio sunset beach party.

Walter Sobcek’s ‘Miami’ video

We love it when a song and video work together perfectly. this is the case with this new video for Walter Sobcek’s ‘Miami’.

The track is a few months old now, but this new video, directed by Diane Sagnier, perfectly captures the chilled, beach, ElectroPop track’s mood featuring model Alice Rausch living it up in the city. It’s a beautifully shot, soft focus, dream of the good life.

‘Miami’ is out now on Schmooze Records.

Gigamesh X Grouplove

Grouplove

I have no idea who Grouplove are. Apparently they’re quite famous in Indie-Rock circles, circles I try to stay away from. They look a bit twee to me and are probably far to quaint for anyone’s good, but, sweet Raptor Jesus, has Gigamesh dropped an absolute blinder of a reMix of their track ‘Tongue Tied’.

Gigamesh just knows exactly what he’s doing. This reMix is actually pretty complex, both in programming and arrangement, but in Gigamesh’s hands it feels effortless. I gave the original a quick listen and Gigamesh has been pretty respectful of the song and pinpointed what works in it, extracted that and washed the whole thing in his summery, good times, Disco vibe. With some clever vocal sampling, a seriously funky, diving, bass section and layers of synth with just the right amount of warmth Gigamesh delivers a fun, bubbly, party tune to rock your dancefloors. Although he’s still enjoying the success of his début EP, we here are gagging for more Gigamesh. Fingers crossed for another EP soon!
