Sam Padrul reMixes Ghosthouse

ghosthouse

Ghosthouse are a Chicago duo who make ElectroPop tracks with a massive dose of Funk. their latest track ‘9.2.5’ has been given the reMix treatment by Sam Padrul.

I was going to try to write this without mentioning Chromeo, but it was too much like hard work, because Ghosthouse are defiantly traveling the same road, with some added Prince-like qualities and pulsing electronics to make their sound their own. Sam Padrul takes the track and gives it a laid back beach Nu-Disco workout full of bouncing synths and a slick little guitar lick the roll the track along.

Annex 82

annex 82

Annex 82 is the brainchild of Michigan based Electro producer Rob Salazar.

He’s just released his new EP, titled ‘Skylights’, and it’s five tracks of pure synth heaven. Taking the current SynthWave sound and giving it a slightly more grungy, more analog, feel Annex 82 come across with both the Italo groove of Dreamwave crossover tracks and the rockiness of the ballsier end of SynthPop. This instrumental collection kicks off with ‘Laserbeam’, which is  is everything a synth-head could want from a track, taking cues from everything from ElectroPop to Disco via Italo it really sets a precedent for the rest of the EP. Annex 82’s tracks flow with an unexpected kind of machine funk, there is a groove hiding amongst the relentless rapid-fire robo synths, and an emotion to the melodies. ‘Roadgames’ and ‘astrid eVe’ both lay the ‘80’s vibe on thick, with the former even getting a little Daft Punk about it. This is a very impressive EP from an unknown that leaves us eager to hear more.

Dizkopolis’ ‘Class Of ‘91’

Dizkopolis

Dizkopolis are a duo from Kuala Lumpur of all places. Proving that no matter where you are in the world there is some serious Nu-Disco/French Touch talent.

The guys new track, ‘Class Of ‘91’ mixes in a hint of ChipTune into their Electro groove. Underneath it all is a nigh-on perfect rolling Disco bassline that you’ll practically break your neck nodding along to, layered on top of that are piles of 8-bit melodies and big ‘80’s synth sounds. ‘Class Of ‘91’ is some solid, uplifting, Nu-Disco magic.

Kido Yoji

Kido Yoji

Kido Yoji, 21 years old and probably the most impressive thing to come out of Japan in a while.

Having had a few tracks and reMixes knocking around for the last couple of years, Kido is in a place now to release a full EP on an unsuspecting world. Walking a line where Nu-Disco, Synth Funk and ElectroPop meet Kido masters all three styles and makes it look effortless. The EP’s lead track ‘Call A Romance’ is a smooth meeting of Funk and Disco with a Poppy vocal that on first listen you’d swear came out of LA. Heavy on the electro toms (and you know we love electro toms!) and ‘80’s style synthesizer stabs ‘Call A Romance’ has a groove that’ll see it getting a lot of play. One of our favourite double acts, Walter Sobcek,prove a reMix that takes the track to the next level, probably the stand-out reMix on the EP, the Sobceks rework the track into a reverby, majestic, ElectroPop epic. Blue Satellite also raise the bar with their reMix of ‘More than Real’, a rich Disco track with enough Funk and Talkbox to give Chromeo a run for their money!

Jordan F gets Sci-Fi

jordan f

Jordan F almost verging into EBM territory with his new track ‘Crime In The Forth Sector’.

The BladeRunner inspired, and heavily sampling, track is in stark contrast to Jordan’s usual ‘80’s aspirational party and nightdrive tunes, it’s a slice of Sci-Fi moodiness that could quite easily be the soundtrack to any number of ‘80’s post-BladeRunner straight-to-video flicks (I’m thinking Nemesis etc…) with it’s mid-paced industrial beats, EBM basslines and heavy retro chords. Imposing stuff!
