Clancy’s ‘Panther’ EP

clancy

One of the UKs most exciting up-and-coming producers Clancy drops his new EP today, his first for ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’.

The ‘Panther EP’ sees Clancy at his Dreamwave finest with three original tracks and a couple of reMixes. The title track is five minutes of synthesizer bliss. Almost Futurecop!-esque in it’s ElectroPoppiness, ‘Panther’ is retro synth perfection, from the digital bass to the uplifting 80’s chords, this is how it should be done. Noting about ‘Panther’ doesn’t make you feel good. ‘4000 Shards’ is more designed to make you move. Ironically it growls a bit more than ‘Panther’. Definitely a nightdrive of a tune, ‘4000 shards’ is the cop film to ‘Panthers’ teen movie. The trilogy is made up by ‘Bite The Lightning’, a pure retro dancefloor workout that is nothing short of genius, and easily cements Clancy’s place amongst the top producers making Nu-Disco/Dreamwave today.

♫ Clancy – Panther

♫ Clancy – 4000 Shards

reMixes are supplied by beaumont and StardonE. beaumont treats us to a nice clash between the ChipTune Disco sounds we are used to from him and a laidback piano led vibe that has us looking forward to his début EP for Holographic more than ever. Korea’s awesome StardonE add a little of his Cosmic Disco to the mix with a reMix epic reMix that plays the EP out on a high.

80s Stallone; ‘ Paradise Alley’

80sstallone

‘ Paradise Alley’ is the new tune from retro synth stalwart 80s Stallone.

Names, unsurprisingly, after a late 70’s Stallone movie, ‘Paradise Alley’ is an arpeggio fuelled synthesizer odyssey with some nice atmospheric echoing. A soundtrack of determination, 80’s Stallone boarders on training montage with this tune, with an uplifting and inspiring progression, whist keeping a cool 80’s vibe going on.

LexiconDon ‘Set Sail’

The boys are back in town! Well, they’re not, they’re currently on tour, but Binary’s finest SynthPop troublemakers LexiconDon are still finding time to drop the third single from last years ‘Pink + Blue’ album.

‘Set Sail’ was the comedown on ‘Pink + Blue’, the final track that eased you out of the LexiconDon world both in it’s chilled ElectroPop and it’s lyrical imagery, with a little heartbreak in the parting too. So with the single release the have enlisted the help of some of the funkiest music creators around to fill a, frankly, stunning reMix package. Chicagoan producer collective of the moment Only Children drop a live sounding tune with heaps of New York Disco groove. At an epic seven minutes their reMix runs the gauntlet from cool Disco licks to sparkling layers of analog synth. Raining heavyweight champions of smooth music, Fiero, grab the laidback beach vibe of the original with both hands and take it yachting. Their synthesizer dream is the kind of emotional soundtrack music that’s perfect for shoreline sunsets, with just the right amount of talk-boxed Disco Funk to keep you wanting more. Worship pick up the pace with their version, more fitting for the dancefloor than the beach, proving that ‘Set Sail’ works just as well as an upbeat dance track as it does as a ballad. Worship pulls out one of my favourite versions in the pack, really playing to the rhythms newly speedy vocals with the groove of the track, to give the song an urgent quality, opening up new interpretations of the lyrics.

♫ LexiconDon – Set Sail

♫ LexiconDon – Set Sail (Only Children Uppers-Downers reMix)

♫ LexiconDon – Set Sail (Fiero reMix)

♫ LexiconDon – Set Sail (Worship reMix)

The single also includes rad mixes from Flash Mode, who drop some full on summer Nu-Disco and Jemex, who morph the track into a New Wave hit. You can pick up the reMixes, for free, in high quality on LexiconDon’s SoundCloud.

‘Set Sail’ is taken from LexiconDon’s album ‘Pink + Blue’, out now:

Softwar X Mitzi

Mitzi

Mitzi are an Australian band with a funky indie sound. you may or may not like them, but you will love this reMix of their track ‘Morning Light’ from Sydney guys Softwar.

Wrapping a 90’s house groove in Dreamwave style retro synths Softwar deliver the goods big time. There are a few reMixes of this track around but I’d go for this one as my favourite. This is a track for those deep involved moments in the club when you loose yourself on the dancefloor, deep and pumping with a coating of shimmering synths that let the vocals wash over your ears.

♫ Mitzi – Morning Light (Softwar reMix)

The ‘Morning Light’ reMix EP is out now via Future Classic.

Mille is back with a Foster The People reMix

I’ll say it, Mille’s ‘Crysteena’ must rank as one of my all time favourite tunes, so it’s awesome to see the Swede back with a brand new reMix of Foster The People’s ‘Call It What You Want’.

From the opening bar this is synth heaven, but I would expect no less from Mille. The man is a master of both 80’s synth sounds and modern dancefloor production, and when the two meet magic happens. This reMix is a masterclass in retro ElectroPop; soaring and shimmering synths, FM bass, electro toms, all executed with a perfect groove. Milles riffs accentuate just the right parts of the original track to up the catchiness and make the vocals suddenly really epic.

♫ Foster The People – Call It What You Want (Mille reMix)

‘Call It What You Want’ is taken from Foster The Peoples ‘Torches’ album.
