Russ Chimes + Cassette Kids

CassetteKids02

Russ Chimes is back again to wreck shop! This time he turns his attention to Australian Electro-Indie outfit Cassette Kids and looks set to stop a hole in music blogland once again!

Just how the man manages to keep up the pace of pushing out huge mix after huge mix is a mystery. The width of the reMix is immense with layer upon layer of vocals and soaring synths tied together with Russ’ trademark Disco beats and basslines. Big House reMix is a pretty apt description!"

Euphorie

You won’t be surprised to hear that new Electro act Euphorie hail from France!

With most of the attention of Electro lovers out there being put upon Dreamwave recently it’s nice to hear some straight up bangers still being produced, and ‘My Lipids’ certainly is that! It’s a 100% Electro party track that would slay on any dancefloor! ‘Bots Attack’, on the other hand, is a relentless, Industrial, robotic Electro noise attack. Slow and methodical, it’s chainsaw synths will burn your brain!

Night Plane reMix

NightPlane

Simon from THISISNOTANEXIT records dropped this track over on his Twitter feed, it’s an amazing reMix of ‘Wave Haze’ by Night Plane from his ‘Chinese Shadows’ 12”.

Hypnotic and atmospheric, it’s a smooth, almost BladeRunner-esq, soundtrack to the city at night. A crazy, chilled, mash up of Dreamwave, SynthPop and Electro Jazz that’s just made for staring out the car window at the street lights rushing past.

♫ Night Plane – Wave Haze (Fort Tilden Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

The ‘Chinese Shadows’ 12” is available from the THISISNOTANEXIT store.

Fabian get new reMixes and a TNUC video!

Fabian

Fabian’s ‘Heatwave’ was originally featured on Binary’s excellent Dreamwave/SynthPop compilation ‘Binary Presents: LA Lights’, one of the standout tracks of the album, it was pure 80’s movie party scene montage soundtrack and created quite a bit of blog hype last year.

Now, not only are Binary dropping a superb reMix package but the track has been given the TNUC video treatment. TUNC is a video creator/editor, sometime reMixer, blogger from the 80’s(?) and all round purveyor of good taste, you can check the visuals he came up with for the track here.

The almighty, blog destroying, Russ Chimes contributes to the reMix line up and really excels himself with the bassline and soaring synth work he lays down. Also along for this night drive are Werewolf By Night, one of my personal favourite Dreamwave artists with an uplifting, ringing, feelgood take and Short Circuit who bring things straight back to the dancefloor with their cut up electro.

Volta Cab

VoltaCab

Following hot on the heels of Tesla Boy comes Russia’s latest Dreamwave hope, Volta Cab.

Owing just as much to Sci-Fi as it does to the 80’s, VC’s music is a fluid combination of retro electronics, Nu-Disco, ElectroPop and Chiptune. ‘Clarissa’ is a analog bass laden tune with sweet vocodered vocals that is so smooth it practically melts your speakers. ‘Stay With You’ is more of a driving number with 80’s rock samples throughout while ‘We Are Marsians’ is more typical Dreamwave fare but show the Volta Club really is top of his game.

AXXE

Montreal ElectroPop duo AXXE apparently came together out of a dislike for each other and despite living in close quarters utilise technology to undertake their songwriting and production remotely!

Whether that’s just spin or not, the music stands on it’s own merits. Their recently released double A-side ‘Hard Candy’/’S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. Night’ drops two slices of expertly crafted DiscoPop that just ooze decadence. the tracks have been given the reMix treatment by two pretty well known Electro up-and-comers, Worship and Neon Workout. I’ve loved Worship’s previous reMixes and her the Swiss producer ramps up the AutoTune to create an edge Nu-Disco vibe. Neon Workout takes it straight to the dancefloor with electro tom and handclap craziness!

Lovefoxxx & 80kidz; Ultra team-up!

Lovefoxxx

Japan based Electro heroes 80kidz ‘ave only gone and teamed up with Indie-Electro goddess Lovefoxxx of CSS, ain’t they!

Sounds like a match made in heaven, right? Well the track is everything you’d hope it would be. It’s a huge, dirty juggernaut that manages to be noisy and catchy all at the same time. The combination of 80kidz chainsaw Synths and Lovefoxxx’s madness is sheer genius.

Brazilian deep Electronica producer Gui Boratto drops the first official reMix of the track and strips it back to beats, bass and piano which wrap around Hope Sandova’s husky vocals.
