The next single from Chromeo’s latest LP, ‘Business Casual’ is going to be smooth-as-hell ‘When The Night Falls’, with a sweet reMix line up.
Alongside Lifelike and Hercules And Love Affair, will stand this low down Funk version of the track from Breakbot. The Frenchman does a stellar job with his track, bringing some classy Moog Funk to the table and smoothing over an already smoothest-of-the-smooth track. Do you know how smooth that makes it? I don’t even know if you’re ready for this level of smooth. Listen with caution!

Thomas Dolby, occasional unsung hero of SynthPop. The man needs more recognition. ‘She Blinded Me With Science’, his 1982 breakthrough tune, is still a classic. Also, Magnus Pyke getting down!

The consistently amazing Cosmonaut Grechko has just (really, just!) dropped a new tune on his SoundCloud page.
‘?’ (not sure whether that’s a title or a lack of title) is an instrumental Cosmic DiscoPop extravaganza that both sends you to the stars and grounds you on the dancefloor. Victor once gain works his way through layers of stunning electronics grounded with a solid groove and topped with distant, floaty vocal samples. The whole track conjures up an atmosphere of chilling on the grass, looking up at the stars after an awesome night.
-Edit- Victor got in touch to drop some science on this track. It’s now actually a brand new track but a mashup/re-edit/sample fest that features a Cosmonaut Grechko instrumental with ‘Jumper’ by Capsule, the Coupons rmx of Show Your Shoe’s ‘Azur Indigo Prisma Safran Marmor’ and a few samples from Mille’s ‘Crysteena’. Which, to be honest, all went right over my head. I can definitely hear the SYS/C and Capsule now it’s been pointed out to me. What an awesome, and slick, soundclash!

The video has some nice Mediterranean vibes to go with the Balearic piano Disco tune.

I’ll say it, Mille’s ‘Crysteena’ must rank as one of my all time favourite tunes, so it’s awesome to see the Swede back with a brand new reMix of Foster The People’s ‘Call It What You Want’.
From the opening bar this is synth heaven, but I would expect no less from Mille. The man is a master of both 80’s synth sounds and modern dancefloor production, and when the two meet magic happens. This reMix is a masterclass in retro ElectroPop; soaring and shimmering synths, FM bass, electro toms, all executed with a perfect groove. Milles riffs accentuate just the right parts of the original track to up the catchiness and make the vocals suddenly really epic.

Time to remedy the not having had any Kraftwerk on Goin’ Old School yet, with 1977’s ‘Trans Europe Express’, it was so good Afrika Bambaata and Arthur Baker took it an invented Electro Hip-Hop with it!

Only Children are Chicago based collective of DJs and producers who, after a string of edits and reMixes, have just released their début artist single on Nuclear Family.
‘Don’t Stop’ is quite a stunning début. Taking New York Disco bass, intricate Indie-Electro synth work and New Order-esque vocals and washing the whole thing in a sheen of effortless Indie Disco cool, Only Children have created a summer hit that is catchy with a groove you can’t ignore. This is how 21st century ElectroPop should sound, intelligent, funky and slick, as much for the dancefloor as the headphones. Not only is the track awesome but the line up of reMix talent is pretty amazing too. Amongst the reMix package MiGHty mOUse work their magic with a smooth organ led Disco rework, Hey Champ!’s glitterball Disco reMix is ridiculously infections, and Bit Funk provide my favourite mix with a deep late night drive of a Dreamwave mix.
