G.L.O.V.E.S. reMixes Gold Fields
G.L.O.V.E.S. is one of those producers we just never hear enough from, I swear every one of his productions has completely nailed it.
The same goes for his latest work, a reMix of, fellow Australian’s, the Indie band Gold Fields. Just check out that bassline, pure big Moog Disco Funk, laying down a solid backing for some really unique parts. G.L.O.V.E.S. stands out from the pack with a whole load of interesting riffs and sounds that play off each other in the mix, all of which perfects matches the tone of the song and the reMix effortlessly follows the vocals making them sound like the were always supposed to be together.

‘Treehouse’ is out later this month.

16. Digitalism – Circles (Moonlight Matters Re Dub)
Also today (busy day!) the MM has dropped a brand new track, ‘Ice Beer’, which is pretty epic at seven minutes but all of it is maxed out with Funk. Feeling like an instrumental spiritual successor to ‘Between The Pavement And The Stars’, ‘Ice Beer’ plays off the stabs of it’s predecessor but layers rich, emotive, piano and a driving groove. One of the first from MiGHty mOUse since the separation of band and production/DJ outfit, this bodes well for the future of MM.

Embryonik’s new EP
This Friday sees the release of Embryonik’s new EP ‘Skyscraper on binalog productions.
Containing three three original tracks and five choice reMixes the EP is an evocative, synthetic, audio journey through a dark metropolis. Kicking off with ‘Watergun’, a track that bleeds Italo into B-Boy Electro, the listener is already presented with the soundtrack to rain soaked, neon lit, future streets. Like the dark cousin of Italo, ‘Watergun’ presents Vangelis-esque atmospheres with EBM basslines. The mood continues into ‘Elevator’, a track with a soaring melody that seems to tell a story set against machine beats. This track in particular contains some really sweet synthesizer flourishes. ‘Burning Bridges’ ends the original tracks in a reflective future Disco style. ‘80’s Italo forms the backbone for strings and racing leads to lift you out of the concrete oppression. Whether or not it was intended, there is a definite narrative feel to the EP, a trilogy of tracks that take you by the hand through a post BladeRunner cityscape. The reMix package is worth the price alone, our friend Jordan F provides the standout mix of ‘Elevator’, a laid back, uplifting antidote to the original’s doom and gloom, maybe injecting a little romance into Embryonik’s gritty Sci-Fi flick.

The Ice Choir
Some slick retro SynthPop now from the heart of Brooklyn in the form of The Ice Choir.
The outfit, founded by The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart’s Kurt Feldman and Raphael Randa from Depreciation Guild, release their début single next month. ‘Two Rings’ is a classic SynthPop tune that musically brings early New Order or Pet Shop Boys to mind, that reverby dance beat and sparkly synths, whilst the vocals have a Marc Almond/Aidan Cassidy quality to them. Very reminiscant of early ‘80’s British Pop in it’s arrangement and vocal melody, ‘Two Rings’ doesn’t try to emulate the ‘80’s, it is the ‘80’s.
‘Two Rings’ is out next month on Shelflife/yesboyicecream.

Holy Ghost!’s ‘Hold My Breath’ reMixes
Out today on DFA is Holy Ghost! reMix package for ‘Hold My Breath’, one of our favourite tracks from their storming self-titled début album.
Tiger & Woods deliver a synth Funked up with a touch of Acid and a hypnotic groove. Laden with ‘80’s Electro stabs and clocking in at just under ten minutes the track is almost a meditation on dance. Cosmic Kids’ deep Disco take on the tune is full of ominous analog synths, but keeps the tune at it’s Poppy core amidst all the moody warehouse sounds. To be honest, neither is a patch on the original, but do make a nice compliment.
