Kid Machine

kidmachine

Here’s the new track from Mancunian producer of all things retro synth Kid Machine.

It’s called ‘’85’, fittingly as this track could have been rocking Top Of The Pop’s in the mid 80’s, all smoke machine and green flashing lights. Taking elements from Italo and SynthPop Kid Machine has created a track that sounds genuinely authentic, right down to the production style. From the post-Kraftwerk Italo beats to the Belgian New Beat-esque lead line ‘’85’ is a slice of nostalgia that also manages to be fresh as hell.

Bastille Edits Duck Sauce

ducksauce

We features Los Angeles Disco duo Bastille a couple of weeks ago and really dug their tunes, now they have sent on over their edit of Duck Sauce’s unreleased ‘Radio’.

The guys cut up this 80’s post-punk slice of New York Disco that the duo of A-Trak and Armand Van Gelded debuted at Coachella this year into a stomping retro dancefloor goodness. So desperate were Bastille to play the track out hat they whipped up this edit, which should keep everyone happy until it’s released. Those samples from The Members are gonna’ tear up dancefloors this summer.

Lo Fi Fnk – Boom (Moonlight Matters Remix)

lofifnk

Coming straight off of Lo-Fi-Fnk’s reMix package for their new single, ‘Boom’, here’s the slick Disco of Moonlight Matters’ version.

Sitting alongside reMixes from Yelle DJs (tEPr & GrandMarnier) and Weekend Wolves, Moonlight Matters works his Disco magic. Taking the Swedish ElectroPop outsiders and easing their tune into a Funk fuelled dense Disco tune is no mean feat, but the Belgian producer pulls it off effortlessly making their abstract vocal style seem perfectly at home amongst the slap bass driven raw Disco sounds.

♫ Lo Fi Fnk – Boom (Moonlight Matters reMix)

‘Boom’ is released 27th June, their new album ‘Last Summer’ is out on on August 17th

Stream Erasure’s new single

erasure

Here’s your first taste of what to expect from the eagerly awaited new Erasure album. eagerly awaited not only because it is Vince and Andy’s first studio album since 2007 but also because it has been co-produced by contemporary SynthPop marmite Frankmusik.

The track is ‘When I Start To Break Down’, to be the new single, and bodes very well for the album. There’s a certain epicness to the track that you can see coming both from Andy’s solo work and, more definitely, from Frankmusik. It’s got that heartfelt, with a hint of majestic, melodic quality that Frankmusik used to be so good at before he tried to become an AutoTuned American Hip-Pop nightmare (come home Vince!). The song though, is very much an Erasure track though, but Andy’s Vocals and Vince’s writing shine through and gives up high hopes for the new record. The track also shows what a talent Frankmusik still is, he’s just fallen in with a bad musical crowd or something.

♫ Erasure – When I Start To Break It All Down (Single Version)

‘When I Start To Break It All Down’ will be the first single from the forthcoming ‘Tomorrow’s World’ album, it’s released 29th August .

Louis La Roché takes on Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters

Nu-Disco wunderkind Louis La Roché’s latest reMix is a surprising one. surprisingly awesome! He’s taken Foo Fighters’ ‘Everlong’ and make the Rock smooth!

At fist you wonder whether the growling vocals work in a slick Disco setting, but the end up really doing just that. All credit to Louis, his track is brilliantly crafted around the vocals, created to work with them. Which leaves Dave Grohl’s guttural hollering sliding atop the Electro Disco like and angry, but incredibly funky, track that’s always meant to be there.
