Jordan F’s ‘Last Night’

jordan f

One of the things I love about producers interacting with listeners on social media is they are always offering incentives for followers or likes, and in that situation everyone wins!

So, one of out favourite Aussie synth wizards Jordan F has offered up this track in celebration of hitting the 550 fans mark on Facebook. Surely the man deserves more than this? Jordan makes those synths sing. As a producer he’s definitely finding the right balance between emotive and atmospheric, and dancefloor as his tunes both conjure up and emotional resonance but are also a stomping good time.

Shiny Disco Club’s Millennium Disco Vol 2!

artworks-000012385091-rt2idr-original (1)

We’ve been eagerly awaiting this for a while around these parts! Shiny Disco Club’s first ‘Millennium Disco’ compilation stayed on our playlist for months, it was crammed full of some of the best Nu-Disco around, but now, with volume 2, they really have outdone themselves.

It would be insane for me to go through all 24 tracks with you, suffice to say some of the hottest producers in Nu-Disco and Dreamwave have contributed works and the whole album is like the best summer beach party you’ve ever been to. The utmost respect has to be given to Shiny Disco Club for getting this lot together.

Did I mention it was absolutely free?

I’ll leave you to check out some of the sounds contained with in the compilation featuring the likes of Vanguard, ODahl, Mjolnir, Louis La Roché, Galactik Knights, Quinten 909, Viceroy, OH MY!

♫ Vanguard – LeJeune

♫ ODahl – Beautiful Love

♫ Mjolnir – Yeah It’s You

♫ Louis La Roché – Fake Tan

♫ Galactik Knights – Escape

♫ Quinten 909 – Magic

♫ Viceroy – Unwind

Quasars And Lovinsky

Quasars and Lovinsky, two Russian producers who have teamed up for this retro Italo extravaganza!

From the opening chords and electro toms this track is doing exactly what it says on the tin. Pure ‘80’s Italo goodness, all power FM bassline and lush, if slightly melancholy,  chords. But that mixture of melancholy and bouncy dance music actually perfectly invokes the atmosphere of the era. Quasars and Lovinsky are two relatively new names, but if you like your SynthWave Italo flavoured I’d keep an eye on them.

digitalfoxglove’s ‘Alone Together, Alone Forever’

forever_lolz

I could have written ‘exclusive’ or ‘world première’ up in the title, but I really can’t be bothered ‘cos I hate that blog politics bullshit. Let’s all just post good music, huh? This is a world première, but let’s hope it gets picked up by loads of other blogs and this awesome slice of SynthWave/Nu-Disco spreads across the music-blogosphere like cancer.

Something about digitalfoxglove always troubles me, he deserves far more recognition than he gets. Some of this is because it takes him a million years to finish anything, but mostly I haven’t got a clue why he isn’t up there with the big names of the Nu-Disco scene, because he is easily as good, if not better, as any of them when it comes to arrangement and production. Just take ‘Alone Together, Alone Forever’, the main riff highlights DFG’s skills, it’s so catchy it’ll be stuck in your head for a good few hours after listening, it’s also just the right side of euphoric that’ll it’ll just have everyone of the dancefloor grinning their faces off. And it’s the dancefloor where this track should live, driven along by a hard beat and growling bass for your feet and sparkling synths for your head, ‘Alone Together, Alone Forever’ need to be in the big room, now!

New music from Pyramid

Pyramid

What starts at an tabla lead chunk of dubby electronica soon warps into a Sci-Fi soundscape in Pyramid’s new tune.

Futuristic and beautiful, ‘Space Wind’, with it’s Sci-Fi elements, it’s harsh wind undercurrent and it’s ethnic percussion, to me anyway, is kinda’ what I imagine as a Dune soundtrack (to the books, not David Lynch’s peice of shit). It’s big synth chords fading into the distance, almost lost amongst the sheer space of this tune. If you like your synthesizer music Disco informed, but a little more otherworldly then Pyramid is the guy for you.

Rhythm Droid’s ‘Sunrise On Planet Tokyo’

Rhythm Droid

Tokyo based producer Rhythm Droid drops a new single for Sunlinxx next week. It’s gonna’ be huge!

‘Sunrise On Planet Tokyo’ is an epic seven minutes but never gets boring, there’s always a new layer, a new musical insert about to happen in the track. Taking the best of beach Dreamwave and late night Nu-Disco, Rhythm Droid takes the listen, or dancer, on a journey that’s set up by a simple, but infectious hook that is used to always deliver something new. Label buddy Keenhouse in on the reMix with a euphoric hands-in-the-air track that uses the riff from the original to full on Balearic  effect to provide a base to let Ken go crazy with his freestyle funk playing style. This is an excellent release that we predict will be blowing up clubs for the next few months at least.

Goldroom reMixes Small Pyramids

Small Pyramids

Binary and NightWaves man Josh Legg is back in a Goldroom state of mind as he drops his newest reMix, for fellow LA producer Small Pyramids.

Small Pyramids’ début single. ‘I Want Blood’ is transformed into the slickest of slick beach Disco tunes. It really feels like Josh is hitting his stride with his yacht vibed Disco now and has carved out quite a unique sound for himself, incorporating elements of Indie-Electro, Dreamwave and Nu-Disco and giving then that sailing sheen. With this mix he certainly gets his groove on, with a smooth funk bass and wicked little licks, but a soaring synth lead is never far away. Enjoy in he sun with friends.

‘I Want Blood’ is out soon, until then check out Small Pyramids on SoundCloud.

AudioErotique’s ‘Falling In Love With Natalie’

AudioErotique

AudioErotique is calling this a ‘work in process’, we’re calling it beautiful and ready to drop now.

‘Falling In Love With Natalie’ is an evocative piano driven peice of synthesizer lushness. In a soundtrack made up of SynthWave tracks this would be the reflective part of the movie when our hero muses on the events of acts one and two and his losses before launching himself into the final act’s action set peice. If you get what I mean. Just listen to it.

More from 80s Stallone

cliffhanger

More soundtracking to the greatest movie Sylvester never made from 80s Stallone.

If only the original move had a soundtrack so sweet! 80’s Stallone is in full retro synth mode here with a selection of bright chords and infections riffs. You can imagine Mr. Stallone sitting in a studio with a movie playing, Jan Hammer style, whilst writing as the track has a real narrative feel to it. Just not sure Cliffhanger would have been that move, more excellent SynthWave from 80’s Stallone nonetheless.
