Clancy’s new tune

clancy

Rich Clancy is the cream of the crop when to comes to UK Dreamwave producers. I don’t think he’s ever put out a track he haven’t loved, and although his tunes are too few and far between, when they come around it always brightens out day. He just dropped a new tune, Make Up, for free, so consider our day brightened.

Make Up is probably the most House thing Clancy has done to date. Rolling a deep 90’s House sound into his lush synthed Nu-Disco Clancy pulls off a hot, sweaty, late night vibe that draws you in with it’s digital bass grove and lifts you up on bright leads. The main hook is punctuated with a thick retro sound that gives the track a classic dance tune feel while, with the space use of the vocal sample and laid back Balearic percussion added to the mix, Make Up is pretty timeless dance music. Classy as hell.

Pilotpriest reMixes Sébastien Tellier

Sébastien Tellier

Who want’s even more from Pilotpriest? Well, of course you do, you’d be insane not to. Well you’re in luck, in the same week that saw him dropping his new tune, Cosmosis, the Torontonian unleashes his reMix of the mighty Sébastien Tellier’s new single Russian Attractions.

As you know, we normally shudder at the thought of whatever latest reMix competition is running, and we fully expect our Inbox to be flooded, in the coming weeks, with mediocre Russian Attractions reMixes, but hopefully Mt. Tellier’s thoughtful ElectroPop will see a different class of reMix talent than the usual poo Electro-House cries for attention. To be honest though, they all might as well just stop now. Pilotpriest’s reMix is going to be very hard, if not impossible to beat. He’s set the bar so high you can just about make it out in the Hubble Deep Field image. Pilotpriest’s trademark piercing vintage synths and steady, dramatic beats are the perfect accompaniment for Sébastian Tellier’s bombastic, otherwordly presence. Seriously, a match made in heaven. This reMix is nothing short of majestic. A synthesizer opera, full of power and emotion.

♫ Sébastien Tellier – Russian Attractions (Pilotpriest reMix)

Russian Attractions is taken from Sébastien Tellier‘s new album My God Is Blue available now via Record Makers.

Lazerhawk’s new tune

Lazerhawk

We haven’t heard much from SynthWave master Lazerhawk in a while, not really since his stunning Visitors album. The Austin based synth guru has just unleashed a new tune, it’s a collaboration with artist Dave Rapoza for a coming he’s creating called Skull And Shark, and it’s a moody affair.

Simply titled Skull And Shark, this theme is full of dramatic tension. Falling sparely in the Horror side of SynthWave Lazerhawk plays with haunting melodies and spine tingling lead lines. Amidst the distant sound of thunder and rain, baroque synths juxtapose with grinding riffs and alien keys atop a pounding Italo backing. Pure Halloween synthetics.

♫ Lazerhawk – Skull And Shark

Lazerhawk’s Visitors album is out now on Rosso Corsa Records.

Washed Out’s A Dedication is just one of many beautiful, dreamlike, peices on his album, Within And Without. And Chillwave works so well accompanied by nice, hazy video. So here we go.

Yoonha Park directed this stunning clip with a really nice eye for colours and framing.

Ace Attack’s ‘Take A Break’

ace-attack

Funketeer Ace Attack has let loose a brand new summery jump up tune. Only a month or so after the release of his reMix collection this French producer is already working and new ways to keep us dancing.

Twisting Mood Funk basslines are the order of the day with Take A Break, the track runs along on them. Herbie Hancock style Jazz Funk synth bass keeps the energy of this track right up, it’s so twisted, so funky that you can’t help but move to it. Add to that a Disco beat, warm synth pads and some wicked, light fingers, lead and solo playing and you’ve got a Disco tune full of summer Funk that’ll worm it’s way into your brain. And stay there. the only downside is a terrible vocal sample (or maybe it’s real vocals? *shudder*), but you can ignore them and just get down to the track itself.

Charli XCX’s The Internet reMix video

This is the new official video for Odd Future’s The Internet reMix of one of the best songs of the year, Charli XCX’s You’re The One. The reMix is nice enough, not a patch on St. Lucia’s but it’s got a nice groove. The rapping, however, by Mike G, is some of the laziest, worst rhyming we’ve ever heard. Shame really, it ruins quite a cool mix.

Directed by Claire Boyd and Rayn Andrew, the video is all a bit three years ago. We’ve seen the whole Goecities/.gif thing done so many times now, admittedly this is probably the best we’ve seen it done, but it’s still done.

The You’re The One EP is out now, the single version is released 19th August.

New from Flash Arnold

Flash Arnold

Here’s the latest tune from SynthWave producer Finnish Flash Arnold. After a series of top quality 80’s soundtrack-esque tracks, this new tunes shows a maturity and evolution to his sound.

The Streets Of Metropolis moves Flash Arnold away from the typical SynthWave/Outrun sound an into an entirely Poppier arena. Whilst still holding on to some of Synthases elements, most notably the Italo side of things, The Streets Of Metropolis has more in common with mid-80s Instrumental Pop that it;s night driving peers. Evoking a flavour of the more Poppy Jean Michel-Jarre, or Paul Hardcastle, Flash Arnold’s arpeggiated basslines and big stabbed chords give the track a solid Italo backing with two of our favourite things in the world, Orchestral hits and mind blowing, soaring, synth soloing more than enough icing on the cake. Flash Arnold has just stepped up his game. Pay attention.

La Boum Fatale’s ‘AAA’ video

Here is the video for Electro duo La Boum Fatale’s first single AAA. A pulsating, hypnotic track with hints of analog Disco.

Leodoris’ ‘What If?’ video

Leodoris are a Danish eclectic ElectroPop duo, consisting of Kristian Rix and Erikka Bahnsen, who are about to release their What If? EP. Here’s the video for the lead track.

Andreas Waldschütz directed this glamorous peice of anti-glamour. The track and the video work really well together. Someone needs to give vocalist Erikka a burger though.
