Edwin Van Cleef reMixes MiGHty mOUse

MiGHty mOUsebpas

Oh boy, been waiting for this one! We’ve been pretty enamoured with MiGHty mOUse’s ‘Between The Pavement And The Stars’ for a couple of months now, we love it’s Heaven 17 Disco vibe and ever since we were teased with Edwin Van Cleef’s reMix in his May mixtape it has been on out list of ‘things we really need to hear’.

So here it is, and it doesn’t disappoint. Cleefy brings it deep and smooth with an uplifting sunrise Disco version of Might Mouse’s first single as a full band.. There’s a nice amount of space in Edwin’s mix, it’s not cluttered or over layered, it’s got an infectious groove and gives the tune room to breathe. The distant guitar licks and and Tropical percussion conjure a relaxed vibe that presents the vocals in a new light. The whole song has a totally different, but complimentary, feel to the original.

♫ MiGHty mOUse – Between The Pavement And The Stars (Edwin Van Cleef reMix)

‘Between The Pavement And The Stars’ is released 18th July with a stellar line up of reMix talent including Mario Basanov, Edwin Van Cleef, Blamma! Blamma!, Tronik Youth, and Tareq.

Clancy’s ‘Panther’ EP

clancy

One of the UKs most exciting up-and-coming producers Clancy drops his new EP today, his first for ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’.

The ‘Panther EP’ sees Clancy at his Dreamwave finest with three original tracks and a couple of reMixes. The title track is five minutes of synthesizer bliss. Almost Futurecop!-esque in it’s ElectroPoppiness, ‘Panther’ is retro synth perfection, from the digital bass to the uplifting 80’s chords, this is how it should be done. Noting about ‘Panther’ doesn’t make you feel good. ‘4000 Shards’ is more designed to make you move. Ironically it growls a bit more than ‘Panther’. Definitely a nightdrive of a tune, ‘4000 shards’ is the cop film to ‘Panthers’ teen movie. The trilogy is made up by ‘Bite The Lightning’, a pure retro dancefloor workout that is nothing short of genius, and easily cements Clancy’s place amongst the top producers making Nu-Disco/Dreamwave today.

♫ Clancy – Panther

♫ Clancy – 4000 Shards

reMixes are supplied by beaumont and StardonE. beaumont treats us to a nice clash between the ChipTune Disco sounds we are used to from him and a laidback piano led vibe that has us looking forward to his début EP for Holographic more than ever. Korea’s awesome StardonE add a little of his Cosmic Disco to the mix with a reMix epic reMix that plays the EP out on a high.

Lifelike’s new single

lifelike

This is a huge tune. The new single from the consistently amazing French über producer Lifelike, out this week, is ‘Motion’.

Lifelike’s second single of 2011 kicks you in the ears and demands you dance. The first four minutes or this six minute epic are like one long build, a growling bassline in you face the whole time. When it drops and the hats make an appearance the tune goes crazy ushering in some Disco chords and some dancefloor apeshit moments. Definitely a tune to rock your weekend.

MNDR reMixes Austra

Following on from their critically acclaimed début album, ‘Feel It Break’ Canadian Avant-Pop outfit Austra are earing up for the release of a reMix collection, titled ‘Sparkle’.

Alongside some producers such as Planningtorock and Mark Pistel featured in the package is this slice of dark tropical from New York’s raining SynthPop act MNDR. Amanda and Peter get their steel drums going for this mix which, combined with pulsating synths serve to create a mysterious vibe for the previously sparkling track. It’s a totally different mood for the song, but one that is perfectly complimentary to the original.

♫ Austra – Spellwork (MNDR Nighttime reMix)

Austra have found themselves on the Polaris Prize Short List for 2011, which is apparently, in Canada like, the Mercury Music Prize is here in the UK.

‘Sparkle’ is released 26th July.

80s Stallone; ‘ Paradise Alley’

80sstallone

‘ Paradise Alley’ is the new tune from retro synth stalwart 80s Stallone.

Names, unsurprisingly, after a late 70’s Stallone movie, ‘Paradise Alley’ is an arpeggio fuelled synthesizer odyssey with some nice atmospheric echoing. A soundtrack of determination, 80’s Stallone boarders on training montage with this tune, with an uplifting and inspiring progression, whist keeping a cool 80’s vibe going on.

Teenage Bad Girl’s ‘X-Girl’

French ElectroPop noise merchants Teenage Bad Girl new single, taken from their pretty awesome second album ‘Backwash’, is ‘X Girl’.

The track features Rye Rye on the smooth MCing and Citizen Records have lined up a whole host of red reMix talent. The stand out for me is this Yacht Disco jam from Alan Braxe. It’s a summer breeze of a tune packed with sweet retro synths and sparkling leads. Noise Invaders chime in with their reMix, it’s not featured on the single but it deserves your attention. Chopping up the track Fidget style and layering that with big Disco sounds, rapidfire electronics and an almost EBM bassline is a heady commination that creates a dancefloor killer.
