[MP3] Auxiliary Tha Masterfader’s ‘Sweaty Disco Night’

Would you like some of that Disco stuff? I hope so, ‘cos here comes Dutch Disco don Auxiliary Tha Masterfader with another track from his forthcoming Music For Discotheques EP. We already heard the Phunktastike’s reMix of the EP’s lead track Rule The Night, now we get a chance to hear more from the release with the hilariously camp and infectiously funky Sweaty Disco Night, you can download it too!

Big, big, synth bass and retro stabs rule this track. Punchy, with an irresistible groove, the bassline give the track a real gritty vibe and make it hard not to move to. While this is going on samples of folks talking about Studio54 and a huge choral anthem play out over the top, raising the track’s fabulous factor to eleven. This one is strictly mirrorballs and feather boas. Loads of fun and showing off Aux’s production, which just gets better and better.

[Audio] Classixx’s ‘Borderline’

Now that we’ve gotten used to the fact that awesome LA Disco duo Classixx are well and truly back, we are ready for some now music. And here it is. Borderline is the B-side to their new single, Holding On, and is just a spot-on little treat to keep us going until Classixx’s album release, just days away now. As an added bonus, Borderline features the vocal stylings of fellow LA resident Jesse Kivel from ElectroPop outfit Kisses (who’s own forthoming, Cascine released, album is awesome BTW).

Borderline is the swirling, dreamlike, antidote to Holding On’s storming Disco credentials. The prefect chillout track, a largely beatless groove is based a pulsating arpeggio complimented by lightly struck snyths and percussion drifting, ghostly, in and out of the tune. Mostly centred around the rhythmic bass and Kivel’s heartfelt vocal, the track manages to be both infectiously catchy and completely relaxing. We’re really looking forward to the album, I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people.

Classixx’s Holding On is out now with remixes by Lifelike and Jerome LOL amongst others with their album following 14th March.

[Video] Compuphonic’s ‘Sunset’

We featured Compuphonic’s Marques Toliver featuring Sunset and it’s reMixes early last month it’s a really nice tune and a solid reMix package. The track’s now got itself the cutest video too.

Lisbon based film producers Salon Alpin have put together a painstakingly animated clip in which bookmarks can have fun too. We can’t help but wonder why Get Physical Music couldn’t have held off the release of the EP a month and used this beautiful video in the Sunset’s proper promotion, rather than unleashing it now, weeks after, which makes it feel a little like an afterthought. Which is a bit sad. Watch and enjoy though.

[MP3] Xtrafunk’s ‘Seek.’

Sit back, put your feet up, relax, grab a JD & Coke, there’s a new tune from Germany’s king of the laid back, smooth grooves Xtrafunk. Every time, Xtrafunk delivers the finest dreamy chilled vibes and his new one, Seek. is no exception, so prepare to melt into your speakers. Right now a Siberian wind has hit the UK (like, actually a cold front from Siberia), so we’ve been hit with snow and ice, but this is exactly the tune to warm us up and make us think of sunnier days.

Seek. slowly build’s itself throughout it’s five minute run. Starting you off gradually with a lazy Funk bassline and some mellow electric piano before starting to bring the Disco with a sparkling lead line and vocal snatches. Layers of Cosmic snyths are piled on until the track breaks into a sweet vintage string riff, albeit with odd timing, to usher the song to it’s finale. Grab your shades from the back of the wardrobe (unless you live in a country that has actual nice weather this time of year, or are a poser) and get this on.

[Release] Box Of Wolves & Christa Vi – Boy

Out today! This very morning! Is the new single from Canadian Chillwave future-star and Box Of Wolves and the London singer/songwriter who’s name is on everybody’s lips Christa Vi. electronic rumors’ latest release is one we can definitely be very proud of, these guys are insanely talented and exude an effortless cool. Here’s some of the press release, which as we have now established, is fine for me to copy & paste because I wrote the thing in the first place.

Combining Box Of Wolves’ hazy synthesizer DreamPop sound with Christa Vi’s smokey voice, as she delivers an emotional and relatable refrain, was a stroke of genius. Bringing together the worlds of nostalgic analog synth music and thoughtful IndiePop with fantastic results. With a lead track destined for the radio and reMixes that will be packing dancefloors in the coming months, ‘Boy’ is sure to be many music fans’ soundtrack to the summer. Backed with a storming, Funk fuelled, Nu-Disco reMix from Toronto’s Cyclist and an ethereal slow-House workout from Tongan producer Summer Occasion, the ‘Boy’ single offers a catchy soundtrack to any mood.

I’d get used to this one, you’re going to be hearing a lot more of it in the coming months.

[Video] AlunaGeorge’s Attracting Flies’

It’s quite possible that Attracting Flies is the best thing London based EelctroPop/R&B duo AlunaGeorge have released singe Analyser. Catchy and fun, even the beats stick in your mind. It’s about time the duo got a decent, big budget, video. their music seems to call out for lavish and interesting visuals. Well, that’s been delivered with the video for Attracting Flies.

The new clip is directed by Emil Nava, and runs the gauntlet of fairy tales, giving each one a modern, inner-city, spin. For such a frivolous concept, the clip is really nicely, and moodily, shot. See if you can name each one.

Attracting Flies is released 10th March and is taken from AlunaGeorge’s forthcoming début album, titled Body Music. Released on 1st July.

[Audio] Russ Chimes’ ‘Turn Me Out’

Out on Deconstruction soon is the new one from Mr. Russ Chimes. A new Chimes record sis, as you’ll know if you’re a long-time reader, is something we get pretty excited about ‘round these parts. I hate to use the phrase ‘flawless career’, but Daytona and before with stuff on his MySpace, he’s not released a duff track yet. Of course, I’ve just gone and jinxed it now. My bad.

The jinx doesn’t take effect just yet though, as Chimes’ latest tune, Turn Me Out, is a big House monster that, once again, proves why he’s the top of his game. It’s a track that nicely bridges the new Housemeister Russ Chimes with the old Dreamwave guru Russ Chimes, as a big diva vocal hook and warehouse bass play together with sparking arpeggios and atmospheric strings. Complimented with a nice, deep, northern, Synth bass and a hint of Tropical vibes, Turn Me Out has a little something for everyone on the dancefloor. Which is probably why Russ first made it to DJ with. I wonder if Chimes turned his attention to Heave Metal, if he would be better than everyone else at that too?

[Video] Patchy’s ‘Picnic’

Here’s the début video from new London artist Patchy. It’s called Picnic and is a marvellously fun slice of cheeky ElectroPop. It’s got everything that intrigues us about a track, Fizzing Electro beats, synthetic bass, sparkling leads and Patchy’s slightly quirky vocals (and, as you, know we have a long history of loving quirky vocals!).

Check out the track via the video, which is various bits of Undergrounds (although not sure where) and Patchy mucking about in the studio. Which makes for a nice introduction to her and her music.

Check out more from Patchy on SoundCloud.

Picnic is out now, and is taken from Patchy’s début album, Illuminations, released 3rd June on Manual Music.

[Audio] Mirror Kisses’ ‘Runaways’

American ElectroPop duo Mirror Kisses are gearing up for the release of their new album, Heartbeats, in the coming couple of months. just to tide you over until them, the guys have released a new, free, single, delivering a taste of what’s to come. Heartbeat will follow on from Mirror Kisses last album, Bad Dreams, which you may remember us quite liking.

Runaways is smooth and slicker than what’s come before it, with a load of crossover appeal. Injecting Mirror Kisses SynthWave-Pop sound with a little Tropical swing and an Indie coo,l Runaways is less overtly retro and more contemporary nostalgia than the last record. Don’t get us wrong, the track is still washed in an 80s sheen, particularly helped along by George Clanton’s moody croon, but Runaways transcends it’s vintage roots and brings their sound up-to-date. Waves of lush, haunting, synths share sound-space with a cheeky little guitar riff and big Disco keys, making for the prefect, intoxicating, backing for Clanton’s heartfelt performance. We’re definitely looking forward to hearing what the album holds.
