I’m Not A Band are classically trained musician Stephan J and vocalist Kassandra Papak from Germany who create an interesting mix of Laptop Pop and traditional instrumentation.
Their forthcoming single, ‘Crazy’, has been giving the ol’ reMix treatment by electronic rumors friend MMMatthias who serves up a version full of his trademark retro synths lines but with more of a raw feel than his previous work. When the tracks garage beats and squealing analog electronics reach a climax, toward the end of the track, following the songs chord progression it is truly euphoric!
After the whole StardonE are ace business of earlier this week I was disappointed to find that their reMix of The Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘1979’ had reached it’s download limit on SoundCloud, so I got straight onto StardonE to remedy the situation and to be able to share it with you guys.
The track itself reminds me so much of being younger so the fact that someone has done a nice Dreamwavey reMix of it pleases me no end. Taking the hypnotic nature of the original and adding some killer drums, arpeggios, and a sweet little riff is, frankly, pure genius.
We enthused aboutDetachments latest single ‘Holiday Romance’ and we’ve loves some of the reMixes that have come around so far.
Particularly likening this minimal mix by T&A which gives the track more of an electronic post-punk feel with bonus acid squelching and cowbell! Then, halfway though the track the bridge kicks in and the track turns into a really absorbing and listenable analog synth wig-out.
So, after many false starts and fakes (although the last batch of leaked tracks I was sent seem to have turned out to be real) we finally have an officially released piece from Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy soundtrack and also a first look at how Guy and Thomas will look in their roles as ‘mp3 files’ (read DJs) in the movie.
This track’s been knocking around for a few days now but I couldn’t help but share it with you.
You’ve probably heard the Vandroid buzz by now. Lost 80’s grindhouse movie? Missing soundtrack? Check some of the press release:
“In a windowless warehouse building on the dreary outskirts of town, an unknown purveyor of grind-house cinema was beginning principal photography on what would be it’s last film ever. That summer, in that same warehouse, a young audio engineer named Fujiyama was contracted to record a visionary album as a companion piece to the film using a preproduction test unit of the latest synthesising equipment from Sansui in Osaka.
But sadly, the film and the soundtrack created for it, would not be completed according to plan.
A few weeks later, a freak fire raged out of control, destroying the studio. The barrister found the owners innocent. Insurance checks were cut. And the masters for the film and soundtrack were presumed gone forever.
In the Summer of 2009, Police were called by county court to open a rental-storage locker in the San Fernando Valley, CA with payments long overdue registered to a man by the name of Fujiyama Matsumoto, deceased, as confirmed by LA County Coroner’s Office, 2007.
Presumed lost forever, the visionary unfinished concept album was found in a sealed box in the back of the storage locker and now this epic soundtrack from this unreleased film is about to be released over 25 years after it’s creation.”
What is know is that there will probably be an album put together by some of the best new disco names around. Van She Tech and Fred Falke are definatly on the cards. Speaking of which, it’s been a while since Van She got their reMixing groove on so here’s the first of the Vandriod tracks, ‘Master & Slave’, and it’s Van She Tech mix. It’s a pretty great start to whatever Vandroid is.
A few months ago a band I’m in had the pleasure of gigging with May68, back then they were, like, a New York style garage Indie-Rock band. Since then they have gone all DiscoPop and caught the attention of Kitsuné Music.
Their second single, after ‘My Way’s, with be ‘The Prisoner’ released next month. To mark the occasion they re giving away this reMix by Manc electronic legend Mark Reeder who gives the track a nice 90’s Dance Pop feel.
Burns & Fred Falke have teemed up to release a new single, ‘Y.S.L.M. (You Stopped Loving Me)’, a disco house monster created by two powerhouses in the genre.
The video was filmed at Battersea Dogs Home, so, y’know, it’s full of dogs…and dog toys.
‘Y.S.L.M. (You Stopped Loving Me)’ is released 28th November.
Deep deep down. That’s where Hervé’s gone with his second reMix of Fenech-Soler latest single, ‘Lies’
Kinda’ like a dub version of his ‘Solar Flare reMix’ of the same song. Less vocals and more attention on the brooding bassline make this ‘Eclipse’ reMix a serious night-time epic.
It’s a meeting of minds in the heart of Chicago. Gemini Club and Hey Champ! should, by now, be well known to readers of electronic rumors and I think, generally, they’ve done the world a favour and unleashed a mighty soundclash on us!
Gemini Club’s recent single ‘Ghost’ gets the Hey Champ! treatment and winds up a chilled Nu-Disco jam that just slides out of the speakers, even when the vocals are being cut-up.
Gemini Club’s take on Hey Champ!’s oft-reMixed ‘Cold Dust Girl’ is an 8 minute electronic epic that never once gets boring. A head on collision between Nu-Disco and Indie-Electro, the track takes a turn for the heart attack inducing at the 4:40 mark.
