[Audio] Goldroom reMixes Wunder Wunder’s ‘Coastline’

Prolific just doesn’t begin to describe the hardest working man in ‘inventing Dreamwave’. Goldroom is back again with another seven minutes of bliss. This time it’s in the form of this storming reMix for Los Angeles based outfit Wunder Wunder and their new single Coastline. It’s another one just in time for the better weather we’re having in the UK, we’re going to save this one for the weekend.

I once heard Josh say he wasn’t keen on the term ‘Tropical’, but c’mon, this tune is just some kind of Island dream. The man loves his seafaring, and this comes through in every inch of this tune, this is one for the open water, or the beach at sunset. The steel drums, the seashell purcussion, the woozy bass…I can feel the sand under my toes already. No-one makes as evocative music as Goldroom right now, he manages to turn in total floorfillers whist painting a musical picture at the same time. Dance and dream.

[Audio] Moderns’ ‘Lies’

Here we have some new music from L.A.’s Moderns. Moderns is the new project from our very own Let Em Riot who is bringing a breezy Indie flavour to his emotional Dreamwave style. Following their début of last month, Sub Urban, their latest release is Liar and it continues their journey thought deeply personal and relatable SynthPop tunes and once again proves that Alan Oakes is one of the finest songwriters in the genre.

Liar shows off more of Moderns’ sweeping and nostalgic Pop music. Exquisitely produced, the track sounds like it’s cut straight from an 80s teen movie and then remastered for 2014. Spacious and washed with reverb, the track is densely layered but never sounds crowded. Even Alan’s vocals are given room to breather amongst the airy pads and snapping snares. While you’re here check out the duo’s cover of Echo & The Bunnymen’s 1985 single Bring On The Dancing Horses which let’s these guys really revel in their 80s Indie side.

[Audio] Bit Funk reMixes Nameless’ ‘7 Days In The Sun’

Here’s a new slice of tasty smoothness from New York producer Bit Funk. It’s a reMix of the new single from French rockers Nameless. 7 Days In The Sun is a stuttering Indie-Rock tune that is completely transformed in the hands of Bit Funk into sweeping Robo-Disco dancefloor silk.

Effortlessly cool, Bit Funk’s reMix of 7 Days In The Sun immediately wraps you in a blanket of warm synths and an easy Disco beat. Repurposing the original’s vocals as a modulated mantra, Bit Funk really does bring the sunshine to the song, spacing out groovy electric piano and a bouncy bassline along it;s six minute length. Evocative of hot summer nights and poolside parties, this reMix really hits the chilled, summery sweet spot.

[Audio] SaiR’s ‘Wonderer’

Portuguese Dreamwave Disco-head SaiR is back with another low-down Funky jam for us. The bizarrely titled Wonderer is his second new tune this year, leading us to wonder if there a new EP in the making. Well wonder no more, the is. Whether or not this track will feature on the EP is not yet known, but it should give you a taste of what to expect.

Funky-as-all-hell is the best way to describe Wonderer. Piling a heavy bassline on thick, this laid back Disco monster weaves it#s way through cheeky guitars and squelchy Moog-esque leads amidst a sea of smooth, retro synths. It;s an absolute head-nodder, and definitely one for lazy summer afternoons. Check it out.

[Audio] Goldroom reMixes Ms Mr’s ‘Hurricane’

Hot on the heels of his reMix of MØ’s Don’t Wanna’ Dance, Dreamwave OG and oceanic Disco captain Goldroom has unleashed his reMix of MYC ElectroPop duo Ms Mr’s Hurricane. Officially released earlier this month sees Goldroom mixing up a little live instrumentation into his smooth poolside brand to blissful effect.

Goldroom’s reMix of Hurricane eases you into proceedings. Gradually building it’s groove out of a breezy bassline and chilled drums before infecting you ears with it’s surf guitar. The real genius of this reMix , though, is the rolling, almost Acid, synth riff that permeates the background in the middle section. Oh, and the almighty sax. Check it out.

[Audio] Goldroom reMixes MØ’s ‘Don’t Wanna’ Dance’

Disco superstar Goldroom has unleashed his eagerly awaited reMix of Danish QuirkPop enigma MØ’s Don’t Wanna’ Dance. The track is taken from her recently released début album, No Mythologies To Follow, which dropped in early March to critical acclaim. The Dreamwave originator washed the track is some more if his blissful fantasy Tropical vibes.

The vocals on this one are the perfect amount of soulful hazy to pair up with Josh’s beats. A laid back, beach party, House tune, this reMix serves up the sunkissed sounds by the truckload. Punchy synth bass powers the track, doing all the heavy lifting, leaving tons of room of MØ’s dreamy vocal and waves of warm keys to carry you away.

[Audio] Satin Jackets reMix Salt Ashes’ ‘Somebody’

Up-and-coming UK singer Veiga Sanchez, A.K.A. Salt Ashes, has just released her début single, Somebody. The Brighton based Italo-Popstress new tune also comes complete with this blissful reworking from one of our favourite German outfits, Satin Jackets. Prepare for some hazy summertime sounds.

With pure carefree vibes, Satin Jackets transform the original into a nostalgic, laid back, poolside churner. Airy melodies and a breezy piano hook give the Pop side of the track an organic, fluid edge; kept in place with a water-tight Disco beat. This is definitely a nice slice of port-Dreamwave Nu-Disco, and one for lazy summer afternoons.

[Audio] Moderns’ ‘Sub Urban’

Moderns is the new project from out very own Let Em Riot. Alan isn’t alone in this venture, some Dude called Chris is along for the ride too; and between the two of them they are making some sweet, evocative SynthPop. The journey begins with Sub Urban, and a staggeringly impressive début it is too.

Sub Urban is a big cinematic slice of ElectroPop, but not one that eschews emotion for pomposity, this track has soul in truckloads. There’s an obvious comparison to Let Em Riot, with an added cleanness and sparkle.With a punchy bassline to power the track along, Sub Urban is loaded with starlight snyths and playful purcussion, tempered only by the occasional electronic growl. Alan’s vocals and as passionate and emotive as ever and nicely tie the tune together. We’re very excited to see where this is going.
