Com Truise’s ‘Datebar’

Com Truise

Com Truise is about to head out on tour with Active Child and Chad Valley (that’s quite a line up!). While he;s away he’s left us all with a track from his vaults, ‘Datebar’.

What we have here is the slickest of chill synth Funk. Crossing boundaries between cut-up Disco and night drive Synthwave, Mr. Truise does it again with his intricate programming and spartan production that’s like your best memories of summer in the 80’s.

♫ Com Truise – Datebar

Com Truise’s album ‘Galactic Melt’ comes highly recommended.

Radio INK: ‘Rocket’, the reMixes

radio ink

Radio INK haven’t graced the pages of electronic rumors for a while now, but their new reMix package for the ‘Rocket’ single…oh my god!

I honestly don’t know where to begin, nine reMixes, all top quality. Let’s take a look at some of the best. Bit Funk kicks things off with one of his best to date, a deep bassed DiscoPop tune that works the best of Disco and Pop to their fullest. Moonchild rocks his synthesizer disco for an upbeat track that I believe samples Freeez’s ‘I.O.U.’, or contains a riff that sounds just like it. Neon Workout bring a more retro Dreamwave flavour to the package. The 80’s sounds in this Mix bring out a whole new side of the vocal track. Koobra (from Helsinki 78-82)’s sweeping SynthWave take on the track turns the tune into a retro ElectroPop epic with an instant classic lead line.

Kamp!’s new single and JBAG reMix

kampWe haven’t heard much from Polish SynthPop trio Kamp! single mid last year, but they make a storming return next month with a new single on none other than Discotexas!

‘Cairo’ is more smooth Dreamwave flavoured retro pop than ‘Hearts’, their smash of last year, although with that track you could hear that they were heading in this direction. Cool Disco guitar licks are added to their sound which ads a layer of Funk to the slick summery ElectroPop and the Spandau vocals. London’s ElectroPop DJ kings JBAG are on the mix for the single with a bouncy, pitch perfect, dancefloor ElectroPop track with an absolute killer bassline that you won’t be able to help yourself moving to.

More entries in Fear Of Tigers’ ‘Pippi Longstrump’ reMix contest

tiger

SoundCloud is now bursting at the seems with reMixes of Fear Of Tigers’ ‘The Adventures Of Pippi Longstrump’ for their reMix competition. We’ve already dropped some of our favourites, now lets check out some of the newest entries.

Guy Zalaxy produces an impressive, smooth, night drive of a track which is heavy on the electro toms (no bad thing) and a chilled retro flavour. Pidoo’s reMix is deep deep deep. A speaker shaking, almost Dubby, bass dominates the track and gives Mz. Longstrump an edge of aggression. Lastly Seb Santabarbara’s mix brings a nice combination of 80’s influenced Electro and rocking Electro-House, the mixture of retro chords and dancefloor riffs give the track loads of energy.

Ace Attack

Ace Attack is a French producer who had just dropped his first EP of Retro inspired Electro tunes.

Drawing from a range of modern Electro influences Ace Attack’s music spans everything from soaring Dreamwave solos to gritty Danger style bit-crushed riffs. But it’s the melodies and musicianship here that really impress, these are real instrumental pieces, the kind produced by Jarre, Hammer or Hancock. Imagine Jarre laying down an awesome melodic peice over Kavinsky dropping some rough Electro, that’s kinda’ close. Check it out:

Fabian X Reset!

fabian

We dropped our review of Fabian’ new single ‘Last Flight’ last month, so as the single is released this week we can treat you to the Electro rockin’ Reset! reMix.

The original is such smooth Dreamwave that the Reset! reMix really stands out in contrast. It’s totally a tune to drive the crowd mental, chopping up snatched of the original and throwing them into a pit of funky chainsaw synths. Guaranteed to get you moving..

‘Last Flight’ is released this week on Binary Entertainment.

More new Lazerhawk

lazerhawk

Two new Lazerhawk tracks in one week!

‘Distant Signal 001’ seems to be a continuation of the ‘Visitors’ EP. It’s a track with an absolute killer digital synth bassline. Sci-fi pads lend atmosphere to this cosmic Dreamwave track. Sparkling synths and alien lead sounds add to the musical abduction experience. Just stay focused on that bassline!

Aduno So Tanie, Kelek & Dusty Digital enter the Pippi Longstrump arena

Tiger

The cometition is really heating up in Fear Of Tigers’s ‘The Adventures Of Pippi Longsrump’ reMix wars.

Aduno So Tanie, Kelek & Dusty Digital are the latest two names to submit entries, both really high quality. Aduno has been featured on electronic rumors before and here brings a really glossy synth epic. Dreamwave in the truest sense of the word, this reMix doesn’t rely on kicking drums or a Disco bass to carry it, it merely soars along on intertwining layers of lush synths and uses the vocal sample in a way we haven’t heard before. Kelek’s take on the track is an awesome head on collision between mid-80’s ElectroPop and French Touch, with an almost New Order feel to it with a Nu-Disco sheen. Kelek really makes the track his own with a melody that will stick in your head. Dusty Digital bring more of a Disco flavour to the tune with a funky little lick running throughout.

♫ Fear Of Tigers – The Adventures Of Pippi Longstrump (Kelek reMix)

♫ Fear Of Tigers – The Adventures Of Pippi Longstrump (Dusty Digital reMix)

All three are amazing works, if I had to choose one, gun to my head, I think the Kelek one would just take it.

Final DJs Vs. Corona

In a surprise turn German SynthWave crew Final DJs have turned their attention to mid-90’s EuroDance classic ‘Rhythm Of The Night’ by Corona for the reMix.

Giving it a bit of Italo, a bit of Balearic and a whole heap of Dreamwave, Final DJs whip up a storm of emotional electronic goodness. revitalising the track, and particularly the lead line, into something that sounds both fresh and nostalgically recognisable. Check out the second half of the track, Final DJs really play to their strengths with a beautiful, uplifting, solo.
