Mix Chopin is knocking out of the park recently. Yesterday he dropped another, absolutely amazing, slice of fresh Nu-Disco.
The Torontonian producer’s ‘Move Your Body’ is straight up slammin’. Funk laden digital slap bass lines fire off left and right, changing and switching as the groove flies from deep Filter to French Touch to in-your-face Elector Disco. If their was one Mix Chopin track that really cements his reputation as a name bound for greatness it’s this tune. There is no way you can’t dance to this, it speaks to your body before your mind gets a look in. Nu-Disco at it’s very best.
Mix Chopin’s ‘Love Story’ EP is out now on Shiny Disco Club’

Here we have a couple of reMixes of Retro/Grade anthemic DancePop current single ‘Mindfighter’.
The single was released yesterday. It’s a ElectroPop Sci-Fi call-to-arms that gets a deep House workout from Maxxi Soundsystem who’s ‘Warehouse Mix’ has a proper late 80’s/early 90’s free-party vibe. The low square wave bassline and atmospheric electronic creating that hypnotic groove that used to flood abandoned buildings full of revellers. Dollface Devereaux seriously impresses with their massive ElectroPop/House mix. Everything is big in this track. Big digital bass, big House piano riff, big drum rolls, big synth abuse, all fitting with the big nature of the song.

The finale of today’s Alfa trilogy is his brand new reMix of fellow Binary artists Flashlights’ ‘Holidays’.
Taking the track from their EP, ‘Hidden behind Trees’, Alfa creates something truly epic. A head on collision between deep synth-Funk and wailing 80’s guitar, Alfa’s production skills are pushed into overdrive as a stream of different elements are effortlessly merged into an ass-shaking whole. The Indie-Electro vocals sound as if they’ve always been emoting over bouncy LA funk, retro synth stabs and the kind of axe work that inspires greatness,

Here is where I make a joke about Alfa tracks being like busses, you wait and wait and wait then three come along at one.
This time he’s turned his attention to Portland’s finest, Van Go Lion’s ‘Glow’ and he’s getting even more funky. The Moog Funk lead line running throughout the track forms a solid bedrock which grounds the emotionally resonate song. A complex track, meticulously produced, Alfa has matched the tone of the track, just moved it to a different music location. Whereas the original was sweet SynthPop, Alfa gives it a groove and some street cred.

The first of our Alfa triple-threat today come in the form of an older track, but one that gives us an excuse to post some Little Boots, and it’s been a while.
Alfa’s take on ‘Earthquake’ bring a whole new bassline and lead to the proceedings. Layering Ms. Hesketh’s bubbly Pop with a coating of smooth LA Electro Funk shows the song in a whole new light. Less urgent than the original, Alfa takes his time to build a tune that doesn’t have a care in the world. Sink into the lush synth lines.

beaumont takes time out from his inventing a new genre of slowed down, laid back Nu-Disco to return to his Dreamwave/Nu-Disco roots with his new reMix of Rüfüs’ ‘We Left’.
Proving without a shadow of a doubt that he still has the skills to rock the Disco, this reMix is a full-on solid electronic epic with it’s feet on the dancefloor and it’s head in the clouds. It’s got all the right 80’s cues, and all the right Nu-Disco cues, in all the right places. beaumont’s sweeping phased synths work particularly well with the track’s vocals. The reMix features on On The Fruit’s release of ‘We Left’, as a single, alongside reMixes from Ride The Universe and SymbolOne .
