‘F.A.R.E.W.E.L.L’ from Final DJs

finaldjs

Here’s the new one from Final DJs, ‘F.A.R.E.W.E.L.L’, let’s hope that’s not literal, Final DJs have only just got here!

They do manage to conjure up the atmosphere is a final act with this tune though. With a solid night drive backing and some particularly New Order-esque lead lines this slice of SynthWave just soars, and takes you away with it. My only complaint would be that for a seven minute song the last minute is amazing, I would have liked more of  that massive synth section through the track, Still more awesomeness from Final DJs though!

Unreleased track from DâM-FunK

dam-funk

Here’s a fresh track from the vaults of LA groove king. DâM-FunK

‘Blair’, in his own words is “An instrumental, dedicated 2 the memories of my hi-school I graduated from in Pasadena, CA while a ‘temporary resident’ here on this thing we know as plant earth.”. I, on the other hand, would call it smooth modern funk in that freeform way that is instantly recognisable as DâM-FunK. A solid tune with some real feeling in the synth playing, ‘Blair’ is the funkiest thing you will hear all day.

New track and reMix EP from Funerals

Funerals

Funerals have just, finally, released their album of reMixes from ‘Marae’, the album includes a brand new tune too.

Alongside reMixes of ‘Marae’ and ‘Out There’ tracks from the likes of Star Eyes, Ritualz, ∆aimon and Goteki sits ‘To The End’, a brand new track which one again elevates Funerals way above their Minimal-Synth or Witch-House contemporaries. Saying that though, I’ve never really though of Funerals as either Witch-House or Minimal-Synth, they are far too rooted in ‘90’s House to be minimal synth and far to interesting (and actually talented) to be Witch-House. No, what you get with ‘To The End’ is a dark, evolving, slice of Edgy, and ElectroPoppy,  Deep House that owes to more to the pioneers of Acid and the early Warp Records sound that it does to anyone with symbols in their band name, and is infinitely better for it. OK, so it is pretty moody and atmospheric, in an enigmatic way, but what sets Funerals apart for the pack is they really understand rhythm, especially synthesized rhythm, how to program it and how to produce it and that just sees them breaking mew ground between the graveyard and the dancefloor.

Buffetlibre’s new tunes

Buffetlibre

The Buffetlibre boys stopped by the electronic rumors Inbox to showcase a couple of their new tunes.

Featuring the vocal talents of Δngelo, ‘Far From Heaven’ is three and a half minutes of slick Nu-Disco inspired ElectroPop that compliments Δngelo’s soulful vocals and Disco bassline with a layer of heavy ‘90’s House piano. It’s as dancefloor as it is Poppy and works well in either arena. It’s companion, ‘Bali Honeymoon’ is more of a straight-up Balearic affair. Both tracks come from the duo’s forthcoming new album ‘Songs For Elaine’ that features guest spots from the likes of Micah P Hinson, Peter Von Poehl, Spinto Band & Plushgun.

Dimitri From Paris reMixes Clubfeet

Clubfeet

Another reMix now from Clubfeet’s just released new single ‘Last Words’, this time the groove comes courtesy of Dimitri From Paris.

Complimenting RAC and The C90s reMixes, Dimitri takes the track down a Tropical Disco-House route. Not as ElectroPop as The C90’s version, this mix a laden with raw percussion and hammered piano giving it the air of a live jam, albeit one with some very funky musicians.

Tyson reMixed by The Magician

tyson

More reMixes incoming of left-field ElectroPop fella Tyson’s ‘After You’re Gone’, this time in the form of a nice ‘90’s House mix with The Magician at the controls.

Relentless piano riffs are becoming The Magician’s ‘thing’ and his style lends it’s self well Tyson’s track, adding an extra layer of drama. Injecting a sense of urgency and a little tension into the song highlights Tyson’s vocal performance better than even the original.

‘After You’re Gone’ is out soon.
