Kris Menace & Rex The Dog, Kris’ Mix

krismenace

We’ve already featured both the original and Rex’s reMix  of Rex The Dog and Kris Menace ‘s team-up record, ‘POW!’. It’s released today, so let’s check out Kris’ own take on the track.

Just like Rex’ version, you can definitely tell the is is the Kris Menace end of the collaboration. ‘Kris’ Club Mix’ is a pure dancefloor attack, accentuating the screaming rave synths. Less introvert that the original, this mix strips the tune back to it’s basic dancefloor DNA and builds upon everything that will have them with their hands in the air.

♫ Kris Menace & Rex The Dog – POW! (Kris’ Club Mix)

‘POW!’ is out today and comes highly recommended.

Aminova

Aminova

We received quite an enigmatic email from producer Aminova, so we honestly don’t know much about him. But that’s fine, this is a case when letting the music do that talking works on every level.

He’s recently released a new EP, ‘The Transfer’ which contains three tracks of synthesizer brilliance. While he does have a lot in common with his SynthWave contemporaries, Aminova, despite his tracks having solid beats, isn’t as dancefloor oriented at his peers, the tune on the EP are more focused on the musical aspects of SynthWave than merely making a crowd move. Layers of intertwining synthetic melodies weave around his songs like smoke, morphing into one another to create a densely layered electronic dream. there’s two things going on here really, there’s the ‘80’s electronic movie soundtrack thing, which Aminova does well, capturing emotion with every melody, and an experimental wall of noise thing, which compliment each other surprisingly well producing a sound that is both beautiful and slightly disorienting.

Aminova’s ‘The Transfer’ EP and his previous ‘Laser Beach’ EP are available for free on Bandcamp, his ‘Busy Lives/The Way Home’ single was released by Playmaker.

Oliver features on Aeroplane’s ‘In Flight Entertainment’

Oliver

So, Vito Aeroplane’s eagerly awaited ‘In Flight Entertainment’ compilation is out, and it’s good, very good. Maybe not the game-changer that some are making it out to be, but if you drop your expectations what you have is fourteen solid Nu-Disco tracks to get you dancing.

After an Poolside and B-Xentric! open the album in awesome style it kinda’ drops the flow a little bit with a few meandering tunes but once Aeroplane’s own ‘Save Me Now’ kicks in it’s  pure gold until the end of the album. Kolombo, Riptide, Cosmonauts, James Curd and Moonlight Matters all totally nail it, but it Oliver’s contribution that, alongside ‘Save Me Now’ is the real standout of the compilation. ‘Memories Of The Future is a massive Jean Michel-Jarre meets Daft Punk epic which will fascinate and enthral both the Disco dancer and the synth head.

Cadillac

Australian Indie-Electro/DiscoPop/Chillwave trio Cadillac’s self-titled EP is out now on Future Classic.

The whole record just oozes summery good times. A Slick mash-up of Disco licks and Drums with Synth Funk bass and retro keys. Add a hint of Indie-Electro guitar and some of the coolest, evocative songs you’ve heard in a while and you’ve got a killer EP. This is ‘80’s aspirational stuff, beaches and the best that include both friends and a flecked suit jacket with the sleeves rolled up. Tesla Boy’s Anton Sevidov even makes an appearance at the party, you know you’re cool when that happens!

Le Prix reMixes Queen Of Hearts

queen-of-hearts1

Queen Of Hearts is so down with the Swedish SynthPop crew, and rightly so, she fits right in with a country where ElectroPop has always had a home (even when certain other countries forced it underground).

So, Stockholm DiscoPop producer Le Prix has worked his magic on ‘Shoot The Bullet’. It’s actually not what we were expecting from him, but infectious nonetheless. More raw, more live sounding, than you’d think of when considering Le Prix, his reMix delves deep into a rough and tumble version of late ‘70’s synthesizer Disco. It’s like a party in an analog synth factory, and everyone’s invited!

littleboots

Little Boots – Shake Until Your Heart Breaks Mixtape = Boots is back! Well, not really, not yet, but let’s hope this mixtape is a precursor to her welcome return. The best thing about this 40 mins ElectroPop/Italo/DiscoPop odyssey, is that it includes a brand new Little Boots track, unsurprisingly titled ‘Shake Until Your Heart Breaks’, which proves that unlike her fellow electro-women-class-of-‘07 alumni, our Miss Hesketh hasn’t lost the synthesizer faith.

Anoraak reMixes sayCet

SayCet

The almighty Anoraak are back with a brand new reMix for Parisian Indie/ElectroPop/Experimental/Downtempo trio sayCet.

Keeping the downtempo feel to the track, Anoraak brings his retro ElectroPop sounds to this slow jam creating at track that is both a head nodding Electro tune and something that is quite ethereal and dreamlike. The tempo actually make it sound more ’80’s than a lot of Anoraak’s previous work, if that’s even possible. This is pretty much the ultimate chill out track for synth lovers.

Satin Jackets & Rocco Raimundo

Satin Jackets

German smooth Electro Boogie guru Tim Bernhardt A.K.A. Satin Jackets had teamed up with the king of late night Disco Rocco Raimundo for some funky bass heavy good times.

The result of this meeting of minds is ‘This Is The Love’, a laid back Nu-Disco jam with a relaxed piano groove and a distant Disco lick. With a great, and well used, vocal sample intertwining with some sweet talkbox vocal action the track is full, but never overbearing, keeping a chilled vibe throughout. Both these guys are at the top of their respective games so it’s no surprise that the track they produced is so slick, and so smooth.

♫ Satin Jackets & Rocco Raimundo – This Is The Love

Satin Jackets’ :kinema: featuring single ‘Kick It With You’ is out at the end of the month on Mullet Records. Rocco Raimundo’s current single ‘Between The Sheet’ is out now on Bedmo Disco.
