We dropped previews of David E. Sugar’s new single ‘Party Killer’ last week, now the video clip has premiered.
Created by Lewis Arnold & Phil Barber the video sees David interacting with images of himself. Clever stuff!
Watch with your eyes!
‘Party Killer’ will be released as a limited edition 7” and the digital remix package, followed by a full length album in October.
Y’know, it fells like i have been waiting a lifetime for someone to do a decent reMix of my third favourite Simple Minds song, ‘New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)’.
Enter Bottin to save the day, ‘cos this reMix he has just dropped is awesome! Part Nu-Disco, part Italo and keeping everything that made the original special. Dropping a kick and an arpeggiated bassline in the makes all the difference, and then the song just opens up for Bottin’s synth work.
Amazing!

That’s how you reMix an 80’s classic!
The Aikiu, brainchild of French producer Alex Aikiu and has just released his first single, ‘Just Can’t Sleep’ on Abracada. It a pretty sweet slice of Indie-Disco and an ode to late 70’s/early 80’s New York clubland. fittingly the man has been working with Chic’s Nile Rogers.It’s got a lot of early 80’s Pop in there as well as Disco, but however you want to classify it, it’s a damn good début.
Check the video:
The single comes packaged by reMixes from Egyptrixx, Azari & III, Mighty Mouse and Clement Meyer. As well as that fine lot check out these two free reMixes. Sovnger’s mutation into a French-Electro banger and chilled, almost Dubby, Space Disco from Stupid Human.

‘Just Can’t Sleep’ is out now.
Mark Ronson’s current single ‘Bang Bang Bang’ (Featuring ElectroPop artist MNDR and Q-Tip, ex of A Tribe Called Quest) is actually pretty good. It’s got a real old school Electro Funk feel to it and is generally pretty darn banging.
But, oh look! Russ Chimes has got his hands on it (and, as we know, his hands have the Midas touch) and, keeping the elements that made the original groove, has transformed it into a monster disco workout. We really cannot wait to hear what Russ’ EP will hold, I hope he releases it while the weather is still good, I have a feeling it might just end up being the soundtrack to my summer…if it’s out in time!

‘Bang Bang Bang’ is out now.
Awesome Nu-Disco producer Kolt13 had dropped his entry for Kavinsky’s ‘Nightcall’ reMix competition over on his SoundCloud.
There’s now over 200 reMixes of this track floating around the internet, after one of the largest reMix competitions I have ever seen, but this has to be one of the best. There some amazing reMixes entered into the competition (I spent a whole day on SoundCloud going through them!) but this one really works for me. Cutting up and disjointing the original in an Electro stylee, but not so much to take away from the song itself. It’s a pretty crazy banger with sweet sounding retro synths battling with distorted 8-bit sounds for your attention.
As soon as the solo kicked in I was sold!
♫ Kavinsky (Feat. Lovefoxxx Of CSS) – Nightcall (Kolt13 reMix)
The ‘Nightcall’ EP is out now and the reMix competition is drawing to a close, we’ll bring you news of the winners as it arrives.
ChipTune pioneer turned Electro-House guru David E. Sugar’s forthcoming single, on Rob Da Bank’s Sunday Best label, sees a pretty huge shift in direction toward a more Electro-Punky, or Indie-Electro sound.
Featured on the forthcoming ‘Kitsuné X Ponystep’ compilation, the track, ‘Party Killer’ is a raw and raucous party anthem with jagged disco guitars and David’s stripped down vocals over a smooth summer beat.
the reMix backup comes from Disco Of Doom, The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band, Renaissance Man, Sunday Best themselves and Adam Smith who keeps most of the song structure but chops up vocals and guitar and melds them to a more dancefloor friendly Electro track. Defiantly the banger option in the reMix package.

‘Party Killer’ will be released as a limited edition 7” and the digital remix package, followed by a full length album in October.
We dropped the news of Au Revoir Simone’s forthcoming reMix album last month and now, with the release drawing closer, we can preview some more tracks for you.
With am amazing line up of reMix talent going to town on everyone’s favourite Indie-Electro girls it hard not to get a little exited about the release. Aeroplane’s chilled ElectroPop jam is almost perfect female fronted electronic music for the summer, sounding a little like Freezepop but with more kick. Chillwave (that’s the first time I have used that word on this blog!) pioneers Neon Indian’s reMix is actually very cool. Deep, raw, analog synths flying all over the place is defiantly the way forward for Chillwave (I said it again!). Clock Opera don’t fail to live up to (high) expectation with an intricate and intelligent toy piano led track.
Check them out:
♫ Au Revoir Simone – Another Likely Story (Aeroplane reMix)

‘Night Light’ is released 5th July through Moshi Moshi.
Ali Love’s ‘Love Harder’ album seems to have been on the horizon for an eternity.
Now things look like they are getting ready to happen with the news of the lead-in single ‘Smoke & Mirrors’. Awesome Pop goodness with a reMix package featuring Bottin, Funtcase and Villa, who turn in this pretty epic, analog synths and piano, jam.
♫ Ali Love – Smoke & Mirrors (Villa reMix)
‘Love Harder’ should be dropping soon…we think…
Marina And The Diamonds has just premiered the video for her new single ‘Oh No!’.
Directed (again) by Kinga Burza the video has Marina once again shaking off record company clown-shoes to be who she wants to be.
The single is backed up with some great reMixes, most notably from one of the hottest producers around, Grum, who has taken time out from basking in the success of his amazing début album to work his bass heavy Nu-Disco skills on Marina. Max Sanna and Steve Pitron turn in a more traditional club mix that could take over the clubs this summer.
♫ Marina And The Diamonds – Oh No! (Grum reMix)
♫ Marina And The Diamonds – Oh No! (Sanna And Pitron Club Mix)
‘Oh No!’ drops 2nd August on 697 recordings.

Aeroplane, that crazy Belgian duo is now an just an uno. Stephan have left for pastures new leaving Vito to rock the spot solo.
And rock the spot he does. ‘We Can’t Fly’ is his new single and it’s got a pinch of everything. A sweet Electro-House backing with a Roots flavour and a Balearic frosting. nice summer beach music.
