Beaumont, the hardest working man in unsigned showbusiness, is back with another storming reMix, this time for Housse De Racket.
Featuring on the UK release of their ‘Forty Love’ album, which comes bundled with a bonus reMix CD, his version of ‘Dans L’Avion’ has all the elements we love about a Beaumont reMix. That smooth Nu-Disco he has become synonymous with subtly brushed with a bit of 8-bit chaos.
Christian Martin’s reMix of Chromeo’s current single is a weird beast, performing the seeming impossible takes of stripping the funk without loosing the vibe.
Pure deep Electro, the mix is still a late night, seductive, jam but the funk Guitar is replaces with techy, but smooth, synths. If you’re going to replace Chromeo’s funk with anything then that fat analog bass is a good call!
The man had done some of the greatest ElectroPop reMixes of the past few year, for some of Pop’s hottest artists, he has also produced and co-written some of the greatest Pop tracks of the last couple of years.
He’s one of the UK most talented and inspired producers of electronic Pop and Nu-Disco music right now, so why has it taken Starsmith so long to release his solo material?
Who knows, he’s a busy guy, but it’s finally, nearly, here. His début, double A-side 12” of ‘Give Me A Break’/’Knuckleduster’
Annie Mac dropped ‘Give me A Break’ on her show last week. It’s a hell of a lot more Fucked up than I was expecting, bit of it almost filter-House funky with a big soul sample. Frankly, this tune is going to be huge! The flip side, @Knuckleduster’ is more along the lines of my expectations, and it’s a thoroughly awesome, pumping, Nu-Disco epic! Sweet!
We knew there was a Soulwax reMix of Late Of The Pier’s ‘Best In The Class’ coming, and here it is! Released today as part of a Late Of The Pier reMix EP along with the Simon Bookish reMix of ‘Blueberry’.
Check the new video for the Soulwax reMix, it’s, frankly, pure Soulwax!
Bring on the chainsaw synths!
The reMix EP is out today on vinyl and 6th September digitally.
Paper Crows are a UK duo who incorporate elements of Dub, Trip-Hop, Electronica and Dubstep to create a haunting and atmospheric, yet soulful, sound.
Which, of course, is taken apart and put back together with strips of ElectroPop and Nu-Disco by the awesome Monsieur Adi for their forthcoming début single ‘Stand Alight’. Adi, who literally makes the track sound like a different song, manager to work the melancholic ballad into an upbeat floorfiller.
Cassette Jam are a couple of Northern producers who are about to drop a double A-side single from their forthcoming, self-titled, début album.
‘Speed Of Light’/’Hey Homo’ comes with mixes from Doorly and the mighty Filthy Dukes (who also had a hand in the album’s production). The Filthy Dukes dub of ‘Speed Of Light’ is an early 90’s House sounding cut that has that recognisable Filthy Dukes use of riffs in it. This is serious strobe lights, top of the night, stuff.
So, by now you know that the awesome Fenech-Soler are re-releasing ‘Lies’, their single of last year, the reMix package will include this little Balearic rave jam from Hervé.
Hervé brings the deep basslines and sunrise synths to his version. His hypnotic percussion and buzzsaw lead lines seem at odds with the rock swagger of the vocals but somehow Hervé makes it all gel together.
OK, on to Alan Braxe’s gobsmackingly rad reMix, it’s got this fluttering little melody that you listen to and never want to end. It’s pure summery chilled goodness, like an ace dream, or the end credits tune in a move where it turned out everything was alright in the end and everyone fucked off into the sunset.
Not even the rain we’re having in the UK at the moment can kill the mood this reMix induces!
The end of August sees Kitsuné Music latest release, Logo’s latest single, the double A-side ‘La Vie Moderne’/’Juniocide’.
‘Junocide’ is a mindblowingly awesome inner-city soundtrack. If rain fizzing off of flickering neon lights made music, it would sound like this. Sophisticated percussion programming and relentless arpeggios drive the track but the song is surprisingly melancholic. This is music to get lost to.
Nikita is Pati Yang. Hailing from Poland, this 18 year old has already, under a different moniker, released a critically acclaimed album and supported the likes of Depeche Mode live.
As her new project Nikita, Pati is gearing up to release her début single. ‘Tonite’ is the first track release off of her forthcoming album that she is currently working on with Performance/Kiss In Cities electronic production genius Joe Cross (who has also produced The Sound Of Arrows and HURTS).
Take a listen to the single as reMixed by Cheap Thrills’ latest signing Franzy Scanner, a wobbly bass, 8-bit, juggernaut that heads straight for the dancefloor.
