[Video] MNDR’s ‘Faster Horses’

The amazing MNDR’s new single, Faster Horses, has now got itself a crazy video. The track is taken from their electronic rumors Awards 2012 top five album Feed Me Diamonds, and always had ‘single material’ written all over it.

The John Threat directed video is a madly animated Amanda Warner dreamscape. The glasses are back, and s,o apparently, are horses in headphones.

Faster Horses is taken from MNDR’s album, Feed Me Diamonds, out now.

[Audio] Jensen Sportag reMix Kisses

Nashville’s Chilly Electro Funk exports Jensen Sportag’s album should be out soon-ish. They are currently holed up in the studio putting the finished touches to the record. In the meantime you can tide yourself over with this reMix of awesome LA SynthPop duo Kisses track The Hardest Part, which is taken from their equally awesome forthcoming second album Kids In LA.

The Sportags bring a lush summer beach vibe to the track and instantly remind us of why we’re looking forward to their album so much. It’s nice mixture of playfulness and seriousness. With a tight cool-beans groove, loaded with synth Funk, underpinning the track, Kisses vocals are complimented by layers and layers of airy melodies and the smoothest of solos. The is late nights in the city music, a hot smokey atmosphere that is probably accompanied by some block typography and geometric graphic design.

Kisses’ The Hardest Part is released 14th May.

[MP3] Earl Gray’s début EP (+ Thrillionaire reMix)

I never know whether to spell grey, grey or gray. Is there a difference? I mention this purely so you’ll forgive me if I spell it wrong at any point in this post, as Danny Ashenden, better know as one half of The C90s, has chosen to spell it grey in the moniker of his new solo project, Earl Grey. We’ve already heard a few of his reMixes in the months just gone, but it’s high time we turned out attention to his début EP, released next week on La Belle, which we have been rocking to in the past couple of weeks.

The EP’s titled Not Everyone’s Cup Of Tea, which may be referencing Earl Grey’s departure from The C90s upbeat Disco sound into something a bit deeper, more thoughtful and, dare I say it, a little more avant-garde. But as you know this is a departure that is right up our street, so as Danny busts out the brooding space Italo and synthesizer prog. The EP kicks off with, we would say, it’s strongest track, Through The City. A track that blends SynthWave with the mood of Moroder’s more introspective material, vocoders and analog warblings blend together with rich chords to create an imposing, yet familiar, mood that flows into Jus Clap, a track with more House in it’s DNA. Jus Clap takes an intoxicating warehouse vibe to the extreme, slowing down the Chicago vibe until it’s utterly hypnotic. Regent’s Park’s blend of Tropical percussion and live electronics is nicely intersected with the occasional B-Boy beat in a track that calls to mind the freestyle synthesizer experimentalism of the early 80s. The EP plays out with it’s most accessible, and probably the most DJ friendly, tune Pong. Pong is an undulating slice of Cosmic Disco with hints on Minimal Synth and a sprinkling of House. Delivering a sound not dissimilar to Scandinavian Nu-Disco in it’s perfect blend of the galactic, and the very human. Pong balances icy tones with quirky, playful melodies creating something for your mind and your feet. Not Everyone’s Cup Of Tea is definitely worth investigation for pretty much anyone with an interest in electronic music.

♫ Earl Grey – Pong

While you’re here check out Earl Grey’s new reMix for LA’s Thrillionaire, and their single of last year, Wie Gehts? (a title that can’t help but remind us of GCSE German), for more of Danny’s warm, enveloping electronics. Folding the gently vocals into the track as another instrument, this reMix wraps the listener in waves of swirling, surprising, sounds.

♫ Thrillionaire – Wie Gehts? (Earl Grey reMix)

Earl Grey’s Not Everyone Cup Of Tea EP is released 29th April.

After some time away, Italian Housemeister Funkabit returns this week with a brand new single on Mozzarella Recordings. Featuring one of the dance music featuring singers of the moment Eva Esther, Teenage Magic is a strong comeback single, loaded with Chicago House references and a modern twist.

Eva Esther vocals flow over Teenage Magic like water, as the track combines a deep warehouse vibe with some breezy Tropical percussion.

[Audio] Mitch Murder’s ‘High Performance’

Why not end your week with a new one from Mitch Murder. Mitch is currently working on taking his 80s soundtrack inspired FM funk live, so every time he releases a new tune we can’t help but imagine it in a live situation. With that in mind, there’s no way High Performance wouldn’t get you moving.

This time around Mitch is using his FM bassline skills to their fullest, delivering something that’s as emotionally rich as his usual OST work but with a dancefloor fuelled slap-esque bassline. High Performance takes it’s time to rasp up. Kicking off with a steady Funk groove, before easing into smooth night time Soul and then finally launching into the finest retro Pop where frantic arpeggios play against warm 80s R&B flavours. We cannot wait to check out Mitch Murder live.

[MP3] Wolf Saga covers Frank Ocean

Canadian synth head Wolf Saga is definitely becoming a big blip on our radar. He caught out eye (or is that ear?) last month with his track Reign At Night, a rapturous synthesizer opus. In-between producing wondrous original tunes Wolf Saga has indulged his love of recording cover versions with this new tune, as he performs Frank Ocean’s Thinkin’ ‘Bout You.

Wolf Saga, once again, treats us to waves of rich synths tempered with an R&B flavour. There’s something about the sound pallet Wolf Saga uses, the tones of his sounds, that is just pleasing to the ear. On Thinkin’ ‘Bout You he uses them to the fullest, blending them with his understated voice to create something laid back and shimmering. Pure blissful vibes here.

[MP3] Pony Pony Run Run reMix Futurecop!

Wow, we haven’t heard from Pony Pony Run Run in quite some time, which is a shame, ;’cos they were (are) awesome. But they appear to be back in the saddle as this reMix of Futurecop! and Kristine’s Superheroes has appeared. Hopefully this means a return to business for the Indie-Electro three piece.

Pony Pony Run Run’s reMix of Superheroes is a grinding slice of dancefloor ElectroPop. With a bouncy but growling bassline that is tempered by bright leads and Kristine’s emotional vocal, the track plays to both the dancefloor and the headphones. Bringing a House flavour to the track, Pony Pony Run Run show that they’ve lost none of their flair in their time away, combining French Electro with Futurecop!’s nostalgic SynthWave to deliver something entirely new.

[Audio] Classixx & Nancy Whang

The second single to be taken from their forthcoming, and amazing, début album, Hanging Gardens Classixx is the emotional rush of All Your Waiting For. Following on from Holding On/Boarderline, All Your Waiting For features the vocals of DFA’s Nancy Whang and delivers classic breezy Disco beats.

Sunshine, west coast, poolside Nu-Disco vibes exude from every second of this track. Despite Whang’s bittersweet song, the mood of the track is kept laid-back with warm synths, a tow-tapping beat and starlight leads. With a wobbly Disco bassline, to inject the track with a little quirkiness, All Your Waiting For serves all your nostalgic Disco needs, whether that’s for the 80s, or for 2007. Broad spectrum nostalgia, that’s what All Your Waiting For delivers.
