[Audio] Xinobi reMixes Moullinex

Moullinex and Xinobi. Lisbon’s Disco mafia. Once again bringing the reMix to each others tunes. This time Xinobi’s having a crack at Darkest Night, from Moullinex’s début album Flora. A track Xinobi apparently had a hard time getting to grips with, considering it “non-touchable”, but we’re kinda pleased that he did.

What Xinobi has done here is create and absolutely epic, deep , Disco track. Whereas the original had an almost World Music feel to it’s percussion, giving it’s Bond theme vocals an eerie edge, here Xinobi plays up the drama, setting big haunting synth solos against a rumbling hypnotic groove. The soaring, theatrical, vocals pair perfectly with a restrained House beat and a mysterious late night vibe.

Moullinex’s Darkest Night single is released this week on Gomma.

[MP3] Deluce reMixes Pyramid

Has it really been four years since we heard from Parisian deep Electro dude Deluce? That was when he released his awesome Stage 1 EP and we last wrote about him (I use the word ‘wrote’ loosely, it was a while ago). A scan if his SoundCloud page indicates he’s been steadily , if sporadically, releasing tunes. But it was only yesterday that he re-appeared in our inbox with this slick take on fellow French Sci-Fi synth lover Pyramid’s tune of last summer, Frontier.

Dulce’s reMix walks the fine line between SynthWave and Cosmic Disco. Weaving funky little licks and a clap fuelled beat though his soundtrack synths. Staying true to the beauty and atmosphere of the original, Deluce up-s the Disco ante a little and reinvents the track’s drama filled melodies for a nostalgic dancefloor.

[Audio] MiGHty mOUse’s ‘Love Is Gonna Lift You Up’

The king of spacey Disco MiGHty mOUse releases a brand new single at the end of the month. Which means we’ll probably be grooving to this all throughout March. On Love Is Gonna Lift You Up, the mOUse works his Cosmic magic on a bit of recent Bobby Womack with a track, already reworked by Basement Jaxx and Julio Bashmore, from his album of last year, The Bravest Man In The Universe. The idea to release it as a single, with a new vocals, was born during a Sunday lunch between MM and Cheap Thrills head honcho Hervé. We find Sunday lunches are where the best ideas come from.

MiGHty mOUse’s take on the tune drags it straight to the dancefloor, as long as that dancefloor is out in the sunshine. This is the perfect outdoor party jam, a big feel-good track loaded with uplifting vocals and sweeping synths. Riding atop a space age Disco groove, the track even injects a little Tropical feel into the mix with a rushing Island breakdown. The single come with two other version of the track, but we’re not sure if they are going to be able to beat this Sunrise Mix’s joyous floorfilling bliss.

♫ MiGHty mOUse – Love Is Gonna Lift You Up (Sunrise Mix)

MiGHty mOUse Love Is Gonna Lift You Up is released 25th February.

[Audio] Mild Peril’s ‘Voyager 2010’ EP

This week London based Italo Experimentalist Mild Peril released his latest EP. Well, latest as in ‘just released’, the tracks themselves date from 2010 (hence the EP’s title, Voyager 2012), but sound as fresh now as ever. Running the gauntlet from Italo to Minimal Synth to EBM to Cosmic Disco, Voyager’s three epics deliver vastly different styles, but are neatly tied together in Mild Peril’s rich analog atmosphere.

Separated into Sequences, the EP kicks off with Sequence I-II, an immediate attention grabber. It’s an evocative slice of Sci-Fi synth with a nostalgic Italo-Disco vibe. Whilst the pulsating Disco bass groove would be easy to get lost in on the dancefloor, the real joy of this eight minute odyssey is just sitting back and listening to the playing. The layers of intertwining melody sweep about the track carrying the listener through a music narrative with some hair raising solo moments. Sequence III is Minimal Synth meets SynthWave affair. Punchy drums, undulating arpeggios and a surprisingly sweet organ deliver an upbeat, driving exploration of live synth works. The EP closes on Sequence IV which sees the organ return in a much more ominous capacity over a track with classic EBM in it’s DNA. Considering this EP was pieced together out of older oddities in Mild Peril’s repertoire, it leaves us pretty excited to hear what he’s got planned going into the future.

[Audio] Chvrches reMixed by Cid Rim

We’ve not heard the Curxes reMix of Glaswegian ElectroPop future stars Chvrches’ awesome Recover yet, but the mere idea of it has us drooling with anticipation. In the meantime one of the other reMixes off the single, coming from Austrian producer Cid Rim is definitely keeping us satisfies.

Beautifully complex and playful, Cid Rim’s reMix almost revels in the synthesizers it used. Full of 16-bit crunches and lush filtered warbling. It’s a really deeply layered track that draws you in a bit more with every listen. With a nod to deeper Bass genres alongside a reverby Chillwave undertones and a wonderful cacophony of sounds, Cid Rim has suddenly jumped onto our radar and we’ll be keeping an eye on him from now on.

[Audio] More Viceroy reMixes, Bit Funk and Bufi

We’re still loving San Francisco producer Viceroy and Chela’s Dream Of Bombay single. In fact, we’re hoping that, come December, someone reminds us about it because it already feels like it deserves a place in out end of year bests. As the reMixes keep rolling in, they are definitely keeping the quality high. Right now Bit Funk and Bufi have a crack at the track and both deliver, very different but nicely complimentary version of the song.

Bit Funk delivers a glorious Disco-House tune that really plays up the dreaminess of the original and Chela vocals. If the original version is a summery beach party, then Bit Funk’s reMix is the club you go to as it gets dark. Intoxicating deep Disco. Bufi, on the other hand gets a bit more ecclectic with Chela’s vocal and turns in an Acidic Italo-Disco tune with some hypnotic pitched vocals and popping drums. This tune just gets better and better.
