Substatic’s reMix EP

Our favourite Bristol based Electro outfit Substatic rock back next month with the reMix flipside to their amazing ‘Days go On’ EP of last year.

The ‘Days Go On: the_reMixes’ EP contains five blistering versions of those tracks which, should you have bought the EP, have been in your head for the last six months. With a definite Dubstep and D&B slant, the collection ranges from Junk’s D&B powerhouse take on ‘Closer’ to Koudbreak’s deep, almost Trip-Hoppy mix of the same It seems Substatic have chosen their reMixers well, the whole EP flows nicely without any one act sounding too much like the next. Highlights of the EP have to be the aforementioned Junk mix, Lightfires’ string heavy House/Pop clash version of ‘Wild Horses’ and the broken beats Dubstep of Sismique ‘s mix of ‘Edge Of Your Love’.

♫ Substatic – Wild Horses (Lightfires reMix)

♫ Substatic – Edge Of Your Love (Sismique reMix)

Would have like a massive French-House/Nu-Disco mix of ‘Closer’, but you can’t have everything, can you?

‘Days Go On: the_reMixes’ is released 1st March, the original ‘Days Go On’ EP is available now.

Electricity reMixes Jupiter

Electricity are the latest in a long line of super-secret electro producers, no-one knows anything about them and that seem to suit them fine, they’ll let their music do the talking.

Their first official release is a reMix of the new single by awesome French Disco act Jupiter. The call it Progressive Electro-Funk, sounds right to me. The bass in this track mad as hell and as a début easily stack up against the other reMix talent on the CD, the likes of Para One & Tacteel, In Flagranti, Hannulelauri, and Blackjoy. Electricity have defiantly got his/her/their Disco on!

♫ Jupiter – Saké (Electricity reMix)

Jupiter’s ‘Saké’ drops 7th March on the wonderful Kitsuné Music.

PNAU’s video for ‘The Truth’

Here’s the video for PNAU’s new single ‘Truth’. It’s a suitably nuts, and pretty dark, clip which kinda’ highlights the mood of the tracks, despite sounding pretty uplifting.

The video was directed by LA producers Skinny.

PNAU’s new album isn’t due ‘til September, ages away!

The Human League & Aeroplane!!!

Here it is, the reMix we’ve been waiting for. Nu-Disco pioneers Aeroplane’s reMix of the forthcoming The Human League single, ‘Never Let Me Go’.

The original version is a Robo-Pop stomper that sees The Human League sounding more contemporary than their pervious single ‘Night People’, but this reMix takes it to another level. All Vito Aeroplane’s trademark filtered Disco grooves are in there alongside Phil, Joanne and Susan. Massive chords in the chorus work expertly alongside 80’s riffs in the verses. All-in-all, worth the wait. We’ll probably be hammering this most of the summer!

♫ The Human League – Never Let Me Go (Aeroplane reMix)

The ‘Never Let Me Go’ single is released 21st March alongside the new album ‘Credo’ also on 21st March.

DFG takes the vocal stylings of Yann Destal and smacks them down on top of a digital groove that’ll keep you nodding all day then layers on soaring synths. Keeping it building until the end digitalfoxglove keeps the wicked axe solo from the original but turns it into a mindblowing finale!

Juan Atkins Vs. Oliver

Juan Atkins is The Man, I used to love Cybotron way back when, and right now one of the names to keep an eye on is Oliver, Dreamwave/Nu-Disco dup made up of U-Tern & Oligee. A track that brings the two together is more than I could have wished for.

And I love the result, it’s got it’s Disco Funk turned up so high. Cut-up talkbox vocals, laidback Funk bass, big bright 80’s synths, what more could you want? The whole EP is being given away for free by Scion A/V reMix, which is awesome ‘cos this track alone would be worth the price of an EP!

Futurecop! & Sferro

Futurecop! are currently running a reMix competition for their forthcoming EP ‘Starworshipper’ (that’s right, they are not content with their summer crushing single ‘Dreams’ blowing up right now, ‘Starworshipper’ is out next month!).

Sferro, the head-honcho of the awesome Girlfriend Records gang has turned the track into a chilled synthetic ballad with an almost Old School Electro beat. I can so imagine B-Boys in the 80’s spinning on lino and poppin’ & lockin’ to this tune! The original vocals are pretty 80’s anyway, the beat in this reMix just highlights the fact. I guess when you get two 80’s loving acts like Futurecop! and Sferro together this kinda’ of thing is bound to happen. Let hope it happens more!

♫ Futurecop! – Starworshipper (Sferro reMix)

‘Starworshipper’ is out next month, we’ll be running our interview with Futurecop! in the lead up to the EP’s release!

Chilly Gonzales reMixes by Walter Sobcek

Chilly Gonzales’ ‘You Can Dance’ is an amazing tune in it’s own right, but let awesome French ElectroPop producers Walter Sobcek get their hands on it for an official reMix and you’re on to something really special!

WS take the vocal hook and run with it into their own amazing SynthPop land. whereas the original was a cool piano led Disco tune that could get any dancefloor moving, Walter Sobcek’s mix is so awesomely 80’s epic that it would have kids dancing in the streets, on top of cars, postmen and cops too! You know what I’m saying!

♫ Chilly Gonzales – You Can Dance (Walter Sobcek reMix)

Gonzales’ ‘You Can Dance’ EP with reMixes by Walter Sobcek, Edwin Van Cleef and Gemini Club is out as a Juno exclusive 30th February.

French Horn Rebellion’s ‘This Moment’, as reMixed by Jacuzzihidive

”Post our remix of This Moment by our friends French Horn Rebellion! It’s fuckin’ hot!”

That was basically the entire content of the email we received from Jacuzzihidive, an as much as we hate to admit it, they’re right. Their reMix is fuckin’ hot.

French Horn Rebellion’s ‘This Moment’ gets a full on analog Disco workout. Bouncing analog bass and strings give the track a new lease of life by this Las Vegas based ElectroPop trio, throw in some Moroder-esq synths and you’ve got a track that won’t quit.

It’s fuckin’ hot!

♫ French Horn Rebellion – This Moment (Jacuzzihidive reMix)

French Horn Rebellion’s ‘This Moment’ has been out, like, forever!
