New tunes from Kid Machine

kid machine

Manchester’s Kid Machine is rapidly charging from being a SynthWave newcomer to being a UK Italo force to be reckoned with.

Getting major support recently from the likes of Italo mega-authority Flemming Dalum, Kid’s tracks are veering more and more into the late night Italo dancefloor and ‘80’s Sci-Fi TV theme territory as he hones his skills with robotic beats and dark futuristic atmospheres. Early next month sees the release of his ‘Dragon’ single on renowned Italo label Relux Rimini. Already getting some impressive mixtape support, ‘Dragon’ is pretty eagerly awaited round these parts. Until the single drops tide yourself over with this choice selection from Kid Machine’s recent prolific output. He truly is one of UK electronic music’s rising starts.

♫ Kid Machine – Return To Space (Demo.)

♫ Kid Machine – Escape From Love (Demo.)

♫ Kid Machine – Galaxia (Demo.)

Kid Machine’s ‘Dragon’ is released early December with a launch party planned in Manchester for January, keep an eye on Kid Machine on Facebook for details.

Knightlife’s new 12”

Knightlife

Aussie Nu-Disco DJ Knightlife  drops his first 12” for Cutters Records, Cut Copy’s own label, today.

The Cut Copy tour DJ’s ‘Serves You Right’ is a Funk fuelled slice of synthetic Nu-Disco. All Moog Funk basslines, exotic percussion and electro toms this track is the logical progression from his last two 12”s as Knightlife does what he’s known for, straight-up, no letting-up, dancefloor boogie.

SaiR reMixes Cavaliers Of Fun

cavaliers-of-fun1

Our favourite Portuguese producer SaiR has taken on the lead track from Cavaliers Of Fun recent ‘Sharing Space Secrets’ EP, ‘Passengers’, for his latest mix.

Keeping it smooth with a night time vibe, SaiR works Ricco’s vocals into a laid back slice of synthesizer Funk featuring the very best in head nodding basslines and quirky little lead riffs.  Ruben from SaiR certainly knows how to twist a synth line to his funky will and makes the track so slick and chilled that you can just let is wash over you like a wave of groove.

Chad Valley reMixed by Foals

chad valley

Chad Valley is throwing a couple of parties in London before the end of the year with his Blessing Force colleagues, expect Chillwave, Wonky Pop, eclectic Indie-Electro and a bunch of people not caring much what people think of them. Details here.

As a warm up to the shows, check out this reMix of Chad Valley’s ‘Fast Challenges’, from his ‘Equatorial Ultravox’ EP, by Foals’ Edwin Congreave. Keeping some of the Chillwave vibe Congreave twists the reverb heavy sounds into some kind of weird Experimental Deep House monster

‘Equatorial Ultravox’  is out now.

Show Your Shoe reMixes Christa Vi

Christa Vi

Mr. Nico Müller is back in the place! Show Your Shoe has been a little quite of late but it looks like he’s been keeping himself busy (not least with a secret project for us, but I’m not going to tell you what that is right now! Hahaha) as this reMix for Christa Vi proves.

More and more ,Show Your Shoe is becoming the benchmark for Funky hooks and beach party percussion and this reMix shows off Nico’s mastery of those elements amazingly. Coupled with that is a big of a late ‘80’s UK electronic Soul/Pop groove that makes Christa, a London based Singer/Songwriter sound like the prefect ‘80’s Pop diva. If I was a Nu-Disco producer out there, the Show Your Shoe would be the act to beat.
