More Barretso for you

Barretso02

A couple of weeks ago we introduced you to Barretso, Tuff Em Up’ Records Chilean Dreamwave/ElectroPop/Electro-House hybrid man.

As it draws ever close to the release of his début EP we can give you a feel for the release with the title track ‘Bright City Lights’, a track with a real Nu-Disco/SynthPop mashup feel. Still rocking the perfectly blended mix the smooth vocals just glide over the night time arpeggios. Kolt13 steps up for reMix duties and lets the synths fly and seriously Electro Funks shit up!

The Antlers get the Buffetlibre treatment

TheAntlers

NYC Indie/Folk outfit The Antlers’s track ‘Two’ was a twee little acoustic guitar excursion, not the most obvious choice for a good hard reMixing but those kinds of the unexpected reMix the Buffetlibre DJs have done just that.

What the Buffetlibre duo have done is created a really good SynthPop track out of the tune, it’s got the beats and the synths but loses none of it’s Indie (as Carles would put it) meaningfulness.

‘Two’ is originally from the album ‘Hospice’, available now.

Edwin Van Cleef reMixes Vicknoise

Vicknoise

Spanish club producer Vicknoise has just dropped a new EP titled ‘Get Away’. The EP contains the original, a reMix from Shelby Grey and this storming mix from Dreamwave hero Edwin Van Cleef.

In a seriously soaring reMix Edwin lets rip with spaced out leads flying all over the place and one of the nicest analog rhythm lines I have heard in a while, not quite Acidic, but on the way there.

Russ Chimes Vs. Ellie Goulding

EllieGoulding03

I was gonna’ post this last night but I was so tired when I got in. This morning though, it’s all over the Blogosphere! And well deserved attention too!

Débuting over at Neon Gold’s blog this match of Ellie Goulding and Russ Chimes really is a match made in heaven, rivalling even his, frankly amazing, reMix of Marina And The Diamonds’ ‘Mowgli’s Road’.

Tackling ‘Starry Eyed’ is no mean feat, it’s a genius song to begin with and Russ achieves the impossible by giving it more energy and more epicness! Y’all know Russ’ style by now, well imagine his particular band of French House/Dreamwave/Nu-Disco turned up to 11 with the huge sing-along ‘Starry Eyed’ over the top, it really is that good!

OMG! The piano breakdown and kick back in! Shit, man, I got goosebumps!

♫ Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed (Russ Chimes reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Starry Eyed’ will be released on 22nd February with reMixes from Penguin Prison, Jakwob & Monsieur Adi, followed by Ellie’s album ‘Lights’ on 1st March.

Demo track from Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy Soundtrack?

This broke over at the Daft World fansite, apparently this is a leaked demo of one of the tracks from Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy soundtrack:

♫ Daft Punk – Fragile (Demo.) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Real? We don’t know. It does sound like what you’d expect a Daft Punk Tron soundtrack to sound like. Whatever it is, fake or not, it’s actually pretty good and if it is from the soundtrack then it’s probably even better in the context of whatever scene it accompanies.

What do you think?

–UPDATE–: Thomas Bangalter has confirmed it’s a fake. Hardly surprising really, I doubt we’ll hear any of the soundtrack until it come’s out. Still think it’s a cool little piece of music though!

New Danger EP teaser video

We gave you the low down on Danger’s next EP right here, the time is nearly upon us when the Electro-House master shows everyone just how it’s done!

He’s dropped another new little teaser video, again with the oh-so-cool 16-bit stylee graphics. I would love him to do a mini-movie in this style, maybe when (if) he releases a full length album he will!

Side Scrolling FTW!

Danger’s 3rd EP, ‘09/17 2007’, will be released on 25th January an vinyl and 1st February digitally.

Curry & Coco

French duo Curry & Coco make some real raw, analog, ElectroPop. The partnership of Thomas and Sylvain strip down the Electro sound and add a bucket of nervous energy.

They are about to release their EP “Sex Is Fashion’ which features the lead tracks ‘Who’s Next’ and ‘Sex is Fashion’ and they have just dropped the video for ‘Who’s Next’:

The EP also features reMixes of ‘Sex Is Fashion’ from The Emperor Machine and We Are Enfant Terrible. I’m lovin’ the The Emperor Machine reMix with it’s big funk bass and huge synths and, er, bongo solo!

Curry & Coco release the EP this months ahead of their album ‘We Are Beauty’ at Peermusic.

Jacques L. Dorsey

JacquesLDorsey

Dug up by the Valerie crew’s blog is this upcoming French producer Jacques L. Dorsey. A Man of mystery with a brand new MySpace the word on the street is that he has some involvement in Daft Punk’s soundtrack for the forthcoming Tron sequel, Tron Legacy.

He’s got that 80’s nightdrive vibe down pat with this mid-tempo synth jam. Steady bass, Simmons toms a lead line to ride through the city streets!

All I need now is a Ferrari, something to brood about and a time machine! Go hit up JLD’s MySpace!

Monarchy Vs. Marina

MarinaAndTheDiamonds04

Well, we kinda’ expected a flood of reMixes of Marina And The Diamonds forthcoming single, ‘Hollywood’, and y’know what? that’s no bad thing. Especially when they are of the standard set by Monarchy here!

I’m loving the heavily modulated synth bass, it’s got a really retro, really ‘harsh & warm at the same time’ tone. When the song kicks in proper it takes on a different flavour, all arpeggiated basslines and syncopated leads. Actually, it sounds like a heavily sidechained 80’s TV theme song!

Keep ‘em coming!

♫ Marina And The Diamonds – Hollywood (Monarchy Gliese reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Hollywood’ is released 1st February 1st followed by Marina’s début album, ‘The Family Jewels’, which drops on 15th February.
