Justice. Ali Love. Civilization.

I was debating posting this, by now it’s, literally, everywhere…but, hell, it’s too awesome not to!
I don’t mind admitting that I was worried about the forthcoming Justice album. Could they top, or even just follow ‘†’? Would the new album just follow what they now know is a successful ‘Justice formula’?

There was no reason for me to worry. ‘Civilization’, featuring vocal duties from ElectroPop badass Ali Love, is jaw droopingly good. It’s got all the balls of Justice’s most powerful tunes and all the funkiness of their more Disco leaning tracks, wrapped up in one sweet package. It’s catchy as hell to, for a Justice song, and is driven throughout by some of the best mixed piano I’ve heard in ages.

If I were you I’d get used to hearing this:

♫ Justice (Feat. Ali Love) – Civilization (Radio Rip)

The single drops on 4th April on on Ed Banger.

Monarchy Vs. Bag Raiders

More Monarchy! More Bag Raiders! Indeed!

Easily two of our favourite artists of recent times clash on this reMix from Monarchy’s forthcoming ‘I Won’t Let Go’ reMix package. Bag Raiders pull back the speed and drop a deep Italo track with nod than a small nod to early 90’s House, which is odd at first but really gets under your skin. this reMix is a bit like being drunk, the more you get the more you want!

♫ Monarchy (Feat. Rokhsan) – I Won’t Let Go (Bag Raiders remix)

‘I Won’t Go’ is released 11th April on Moda. Mustang and Sam Tiba coming soon.

MNDR Vs. Hervé

Green Label Sound sure love giving away great tracks for free!

Having already released MNDR’s ‘Cut Me Out’ for free on their official website they now take the same approach with this reMix from UK Rave master and Cheap Thrills head-honcho Hervé. Be prepared for some rough and ready digital dance music. Bass heavy and in your face, Hervé’s reMix is the kind of track that makes you forget where you are on the dancefloor, until the big breakdown kicks in.

♫ MNDR – Cut Me Out (Hervé reMix)

You can pick up the full quality version of ‘Cut Me Out’ and this reMix for free over at Green Label Sound.

Gemini Club’s ‘Ghost’ reMixes

Gemini Club’s awesome ‘Ghost’ was defiantly one of our tunes of last year, in all it’s myriad reMix forms. This week sees the track’s proper release, at long last, as a massive reMix package.

Alongside the instant classic original version there’s reMixes you’ll already know, such a Hey Champ!’s, and some new versions from Only Children and Golden Bug. Also featured are these two mixes from Mr. Frankie Barretso and Indie-Electro Newcomers Blue Satellite. Barretso’s effort is a rapid fire Electro take on the tune that’s a pure dancefloor rush while Blue Satellite opt for a laidback, no worries, DiscoPop that’s the prefect smooth comedown.

SebastiAn’s new ‘Embody’ video

This’ll keep me going the weekend! The first new track to début from SebastiAn’s forthcoming album, ‘Embody’ has now had it’s video premiered too! The track is Electro Disco as only the Ed Banger crew can do it, French Touch vocal samples and that Ed Banger slap bass. It all bodes well for the album!

The video is directed, of course, by So Me

SebastiAn’s début album, Total, is out in May on Ed Banger.

The new Justice track…we’re not kidding this time!

Looks like adidas released the video featuring Justice’s new track ‘Civilisation’ officially a few days ago and everyone clamouring round the leaks and dodgy YouTube takedowns didn’t notice.

So, here it is, well, the advert anyway. The song is sounding really nice, really Justice Disco.

Can’t wait to hear it properly.

The Justice/adidas campaign kicks off with the single release on 4/4/11.

autoKratz new album news

autoKratz have announced the release date for their forthcoming second (or third, depending on your view) album ‘Self Help For Beginners’.

To celebrate the news autoKratz have dropped this free track from ‘Self Help For Beginners’, ‘A-Train’ is a full on Electro dancefloor juggernaut. Growling basses and in you face synth sounds, a banger the likes of we haven’t heard in a while!

Controls

‘We Are Hare’ is the new single form Controls, being released on Robot Dance Records.

Not much to say about him ‘cos of this:

“I am Controls.
There is not much I am allowed to say about myself without altering the future.
I am from the future, the year 30XX.
The human race is in grave danger, and I have to attempt to stop the revolution.
I am human. Trust me.

I gotta’ say, I’m pretty much over mystery artists now, it’s got so dry it’s starting to crack. It just makes you look lame these days. The track itself, however, is pretty awesome, it hits all the right spots for a straight-up Electro-House killer. It’s got a little funk in it’s trunk too.

Check it:

‘We Are Here’ is out now:

In the run up to the release we have this reMix of album track ‘It’s A Bubble’ but awesome Belgian producer The Magician who crafts a cosy slice of DiscoPop, that sparkles and shines all the way.

Oh, go on then….that ‘Justice’ teaser

Is it Justice, isn’t it Justice, who knows? It’s like a new Daft Punk album all over again!

The new album is called ‘Civilisation’, but you knew that by now already, this may or may not be some of it…

That’s if it hasn’t been taken down, which a lot if ‘leaked’ ‘Justice’ tracks have been. This doesn’t necessarily mean they are legit, it could just mean Because Music doesn’t want shitty clips of stuff claiming to be Justice out there.

What we do know is the first single from the album, the title track, is planned for a big release 4/4/11/ Honestly, I think waiting until then is more exciting than crappy quality YouTube videos.
