Ren Riz’s new jams

Mr. Ren Riz dropped a couple of new tunes over the weekend, that’s the kind of thing that makes the Monday morning trawl through the inbox worth while!

‘Alright’ is a straight-up dancefloor rocker. It’s hands-in-the-air uplifting with a twisted disco bassline and and old school House vibe that is just the right side of cheese. ‘Electrique Blanc’ on the other hand, is a mid-tempo electronic epic. A pounding journey though sweeping synthesizer atmospheres, accompanied by an nice 80’s appreciated bassline. Like his fellow Antipodean Beaumont, Ren Riz is applying his skills as a N-Disco producer to slower tracks with powerful results.

♫ Ren Riz – Alright

♫ Ren Riz – Electrique Blanc

Ren has also recently reMixes Bingo Players’ ‘Cry (Just A Little)’, which he Funks up and filters to the max.

Memory Tapes reMixed by Jensen Sportag

Nashville’s finest ElectroFunk exports Jensen Sportag have turned their attention to reMixing the new single from Memory Tapes.

Taken from the free ‘Memory Tapes Tour EP’, a collection of reMixes, the Sportags’ reMix of ’Wait In The Dark’ is a dreamy affair. The solid backbeat acts as a hypnotising rock for the waves of lush synths and distant guitars to crash over. It’s a real chilled summer hit that I can imaging we’ll be listening to for a while.

‘Wait In The Dark’ originally appears on Memory Tapes second LP, ‘Piano Player’, released 5th July.

Grum reMixes The Good Natured

Sweet electronic X-mas! The Good Natured is one of my favourite Indie-Electro artists, and Grum one of my favourite Nu-Disco producers. The two together? Only good can come of this!

The results are pretty stunning, Grum makes the absolutely correct decision to keep most of the song structure and Sarah’s vocals intact, letting his massive sounding Nu-Disco groove support the track rather than obscure it. What you have in the end is an amazing meeting of Ms. McIntosh’s emotive voice and Grum’s body moving beats and soaring melodies. I love it when a plan comes together!

Maighréad’s ‘In The Beginning’ video

Maighréad & Disco Damage’s ‘In The Beginning’ single has finally got itself a music video.

It’s a suitably Housey, all very shiny and lens flare heaven. I think Maighréad’s a really interesting artist and would have maybe liked to see something a little more inspired to show off the song. Still, it’s a slick looking production, and an ace track.

Johan Agebjörn + Le Prix + Sally Shapiro + Fred Ventura = Alice

This might get confusing, so hold tight.

Johan Agebjörn, frankly amazing, album ‘Casablanca Nights’ features a whole host of ElectroPop collaborations, some of the best tracks to be released this year. Amongst those is a couple of tunes with Le Prix, including ‘Alice’ featuring the vocal talents of Fred Ventura and Miss Sally Shapiro. This track, ‘Alice, is now getting a 12” release from Disco Evolution, a sublabel of Flashback Records under the moniker Fred Ventura Vs. Sally Shapiro. Got it?

It’s a sweet, slightly Italo in it’s bassline, ElectroPop track, with a huge chorus. Surprisingly traditional SynthPop in it’s arrangement the track is an awesome meeting of classic SynthPop and Agebjörn modern, slick, production. The 12” also features the ‘Energy Mix’, which turns up the Italo side of the track by dropping an amazing mid-80’s bassline. There’s actually a strong Pet Shop Boys feel to the reMix, and that’s definitely no bad thing.
