[Download] Motor Mouth’s ‘Balearic Winter’

Motor Mouth, the Disco duo made up of German DJs Linntronix and DJ Friction, released a new EP this week on the excellent Silhouette Music. These guy have been working together since 2006 and the Zodiac EP marks their first release for Silhouette. It holds six tracks of Nu-Disco and Electro Funk goodness; here’s our pick of the release. The vocal version of Balearic Winter, featuring Phil on vocals.

Balearic Winter is, in contrast to it’s name, a super summery jam. Although it does have a certain chill to it so maybe that’s a thing. Phil drops some urgent vocals over a slick soundtrack of bobbing bass and squelchy synths on a track that draws the line between Indie-ElectroPop and poolside Nu-Disco. This is Disco with an air of mystery; dig in.

[Audio] Cyclist reMixes Pat Lok’s ‘All In My Head’

Torontonian Disco multi-instrumentalist Mark Penner A.K.A. Cyclist unleashes not one, but two new tunes this week. Both are exclusives to the new compilation from Toolroom Records, this year’s Poolside Miami. The compilation was released this week and sees Cyclist’s tunes sit alongside the likes of Eli & Fur, NTEIBINT, LoFrames and 5 Reasons. For one of his contributions Cyclist has taken on the task of reMixing fellow Canadian House genius Pat Lok’s excellent All In My Head.

Cyclist takes Lok’s Desirée Dawson featuring original, a full-on Disco House monster, and give it a Funky House makeover with a raw analog feel. The original vocal ride over a seemingly laid back backing, but one that bristles with nervous dancefloor energy. Spikey synths and punchy bass lay themselves thick over a slick Disco beat all building towards the welcomes Acidic growl of the finale’s hypnotic riff. Surprisingly soulful for what is, at first glance, quite an abrasive Disco tune.

♫ Pat Lok (Feat. Desirée Dawson) – All In My Head (Cyclist reMix)

While you’re here check out Cyclist’s new original tune too. Featuring Jocelyn Alice on vocals, Heartbeat Speed is a slinky five minutes of warm House with a breezy summertime vibe. Amusingly Mark and Jocelyn met when she answered his Craigslist ad for a new roommate. Random!

[Download] JBAG reMixes Jolie Jolie Chérie’s ‘Où Tu Veux’

Parisian DiscoPop trio Jolie Chérie have release a free reMix package for their Où Tu Veux single. Released in January, the rousing SynthPop ballad features extra vocals from Valli and has now got a fresh set of versions from the likes of James Curd, Solar Systems, Quater Chic, Scuola Furano and this soaring slice of Island ElectroPop euphoria from London’s finest DiscoPop duo, JBAG. Jolie Chérie reMixed JBAG’s X-Ray Sex single of 2010, it’s well overdue that the favour is returned.

JBAG eschews and mood of the original in favour of a carefree dancefloor vibe. Despite being quite mid-tempo, JBAG keep the energy up and the mood hectic, inserting random riffs and sirens into the mix; giving the track an organised chaotic feel. At it’s core lies a laid back Tropical grove built around syncopated stabs and a clap-a-long beat that never relent over the tracks seven minute length. A departure indeed from the original, and a surefire summer jam.

[Audio] Chloe Martini’s ‘Volatile Dreams’

This week Polish producer Chloe Martini released her new EP via Roche Musique. Warsaw based musician Anna Zmijewska is already the subject of quite a bit of attention from the likes of Bondax, Annie Mac and Friend within who have all championed her tunes. With a manifesto to Bring back the 80s, Chloe Martini serves up some of the smoothest Electronic Soul and Dreamwavey Nu-Disco around. Her new EP is titled Private Joy; here’s our favourite track from the release, Volatile Dreams.

Volatile Dreams features talkboxed vocal stylings from Azteka to help it along it’s thick synth Funk path. Slick-as-all-hell retro Disco is provided by a densely layered concoction of lush synths, punchy vintage bass and busy rhythms. For such a new and young artist, Volatile Dreams is an incredibly mature production showing a deep understanding of 80s Soul, Funk, Disco and Boogie. It’s also the perfect summertime jam. A powerhouse dancefloor track, but also nostalgic to the max. Impressive stuff.
