[MP3] Jupiter reMixes Lafayette

Just two days after their crazy good Yan Wagner reMix, Amazing French DiscoPop duo Jupiter are back with another four and a half minutes of quirky, electronic, grooves. This time it’s in the form of a reMix for fellow French act Lafayette , and his track Mauvaise Mine.

This is all about the most infectious synth bassline you’ll have heard in a while. The bassline bounced along, powering the track like a rubber engine, it’s elastic core funking it;s way into your heart. Add to this a wash of bright snyths and wicked Disco licks and you have another killer tune from Jupiter, who are on such a roll these last twelve months we can’t help but wonder if they can really so no wrong?

♫ Lafayette (Feat. Liza Manili) – Mauvaise Mine (Jupiter reMix)

You can pick up the EP on Bandcamp now.

Swedish Electro cat botherers Lissi Dancefloor Disaster are gearing up for the release of their new album, Waves. In advance of this, here’s the video for their first single of the year, Try.

[MP3] Mr. Mitsuhirato edits Django Django

Like some Disco with your Indie Rock? Well, you’re in luck Discotexas head honcho Mr. Mitsuhirato has whipped up this storming edit of current hype darlings Django Django’s Default. Editing the track how track should be edited, Mitsuhirato drags those hooks straight to the dancefloor.

It’s no mean feat to mix up Django’s surfy Indie with a Mediterranean Disco vibe, but Mitsuhirato pulls it off and delivers a whopping slab of rocking, floorfilling, mayhem. Our guess is that Mitsuhirato heard the track and though ‘hello, there’s some killer riffs in there, I’ll just have them please’, mixed them up with a little mew drums and bass and bob’s your uncle, how the track was always supposed to sound. Well, what else are you going to do with riffs like that?

[Audio] Du Tonc’s ‘Darkness’

We’ve been waiting on this on for a while now, ever since London Disco guru MiGHty mOUse hinted he was working with Van She’s resident bassist and solo ElectroPopper Matt Van Schie. The result is finally here, premièred on The Magician’s Magic Tape this month, this is Du Tonc’s Darkness.

Darkness isn’t nearly as ominous as it’s name suggests, if fact it’s a pretty playful mixture between intelligent cosmic Disco and Indie-Pop. You may think that moody 80s Indie track, and a slightly Tropical flavoured Nu-Disco tune would make strange bedfellows, but in Darkness’ case the two sit together perfectly. Neither aspect of the song’s character overwhelming the other. A strange juxtaposition between the introverted and extroverted, that results in an insanely catchy sing-a-long chorus and a rolling dancefloor groove. We can easily see Du Tonc producing some of the more intelligent Disco tunes in the coming year.

[Video] Viceroy & Chela’s ‘Dream Of Bombay’

Here’s the official video for San Francisco funkmeister Viceroy and Dreamwave songstress Chela’s frankly amazing new single, Dream Of Bombay. This breezy slice of feel-good Dreamwave has been on repeated round these parts for a while now, and the video is so cool.

Josh Harris directs the clip, capturing the perfect nostalgic vibe, while Chela exudes effortless 80s cool.

[MP3] Clancy’s ‘How To Hold On To You’

The one and only Clancy’s back in the production hot seat with a brand new track. We always tend to love it when this dude drops a new track, and so far he hasn’t disappointed. His new tune, How To Hold On To You, can be added to the ‘hasn’t disappointed yet’ pile.

How To Hold On To You continues on Clancy journey from Dreamwave hero, to Nu-Disco groover, to House jackmaster. This one’s all about pulsating deep basses, infectious piano riffs and snatches of diva vocals. Soundtracking a late 80s Chicago warehouse, How To Hold On To You, rises and falls with swells of emotion as to hooks you in and keeps you entranced until the end. It’s track like this that make us glad the Chicago House sound came back.

[Video] Karl Bartos’ ‘Atomium’

Karftwerkian legend Karl Bartos’s first single from his new album Off The Record, is finally here. Strap yourself in for some icy snyths and robotic vocals.

The video is, possible deliberately, really early 90s EBM. All inverted colours and cheap video effects. Probably quite fitting.

Karl Bartos’ Atomium is released 1st February. Off the Record is released in March.

[MP3] Lindstrøm reMixes Grizzly Bear

Well, it was probably only a matter of time. After the kind of hype that Norwegian cosmic Disco legend Lindstrøm received toward the end of 2012, we knew sooner or later the cool Pitchfork crown would come knocking on his door. Oh look, here’s a Lindstrøm reMix of the new Grizzly Bear single, Gun Shy. That was quick.

It’s actually a pretty amazing track. It’s hypnotic space-age Disco track with all the tundral charm that we love Lindstrøm for. The mans knack for making icy, piercing synths feel warm and comforting is second to none, and he really knows how to rock an infectious hook. This has the potential to be one of the biggest tracks of the summer, expect to hear this a lot on your local indie dancefloor. Indie flavoured Cosmic Disco at it’s finest.
