PNAU’s ‘Soft Universe’ gets Ministry Of Sound CD release

pnau

PNAU’s new album ‘Soft Universe’ is out later this month. But wait, isn’t it already out? Why, yes, yes it is. The album was first released to the world last summer, then got picked up by Ministry Of Sound and released digitally by them now, at the end of March, MOS are releasing ‘Soft Universe’ on CD.

I’s an awesome, euphoric record that we talked a lot about last year and if, like us, you still have a massive soft spot for a physical release, it’s definitely an album that warrants the real deal. Crammed full or rousing, emotionial and massive sounding ElectroPop floorfillers. ‘Soft universe’ has already spawned a couple of huge singles. I expect you’ve already got this record, but if you haven’t check out some of the highlights below and the grab yourself a copy soon, at least in time for summer.

♫ PNAU – Unite Us

♫ PNAU – Solid Ground

♫ PNAU – The Truth

‘Soft Universe’ is out on CD on 26th March via Ministry Of Sound.

Malibu B & Binalog Frequency

Malibu B

Last month we featured Hungarian SynthWave dreamer Malibu B’s new single ‘Engame’, well not it;s getting a proper release, courtesy of Binalog Productions with the EP including a new dark rework from Binalog Frequency himself.

Binalog’s ‘Return To LA’ version takes the aspects of ‘Endgame’ most suited to spinning on your back on a peice of lino and runs with them. This is kind of dark, moody, Electro that flourished through the likes of Juan Aitkin’s Cryotron briefly before Hip Hop hit the big time and still lurks in the Electro shadows. The Jan Hammer-esque lead line of ‘Endgame’ takes on a whole new dystopian feel when coupled with Binalog’s 808 percussion. All this is driving by a growling, relentless machine beat. If the original is Miami Vice, then this is The Terminator.

Lameboy Advance’s new tune

Lameboy Advance

German retro synth producer Lameboy Advance had dropped a new tune. ‘The Scene’ that puts the Boogie back into Electro and a little soul into a SynthWave.

‘The Scene’ is pretty slick and laid back, but with a solid vintage groove and all the smoothness of an ‘80’s electronic Soul track. Those dreamy chords alone are enough to rock the vibe, but when Lameboy turns on his Herbie Hancock-esque soloing skills the whole track ascends to a higher level. Chilled out SynthWave bliss.

Guy Zalaxy and Emeron Kale reMix St. Lucia

stlucia

Guy Zalaxy is the solo moniker of Joe from Follow Me, who’s teamed up with Emeron & Fox’s Emeron Kale to drop this awesome deep ElectroPop reMix of St. Lucia’s ‘Closer Than This’.

Recently released on Neon Gold as part of St. Lucia’s self-titled EP the original is a summery beach Pop anthem that Zalaxy and Kale transform into a blissed out analog retro Pop gem. Taking cues from Dreamwave and Nu-Disco, but keeping things ElectroPop, this reMix is the kind of track that you can’t help but smile at. Loaded with big sweeping synths and twinkling melodies riding on top a squelchy analog bassline Zalaxy and Kale up the nostalgia ante and make the chorus sound just that little more epic.

Siedah Garrett reMixed by Mr. Pteez

Siedah Garrett

Even before I heard this track I knew it was going to be a winner. Siedah Garrett’s 1985 ItaloPop hit ‘Do You Want It Right Now?’ reMix by a man who’s fast becoming one of our favourite Russian producers, Mr. Pteez. What more do you want?

Pteez keeps it old school with his particular mix of Italo, SynthWave and B-Boy Electro, which works perfectly with the original track and it’s vocals. Pteez reimagines the track for inner-city high energy dancefloors bring a bit of Garrett’s soul to the breakers in the subway and a bit of Electro Boogie to the Disco. Keep en eye on Mr. Pteez!

Goin’ Old School: Pet Shop Boys, Ultravox & Whodini

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:

One of Pet Shop Boys’ finest moments (and that’s saying something), 1986’s ‘Suburbia’.

1982’s biggest anthem in the form of Ultravox’s ‘Hymn’. Epic!

It’s 1982, Hip Hop is about to get as cool as it ever will with Whodini’s ‘ Magic’s Wand’.

Meridians reMix Astrobal

Astrobal

French duo Meridians are back with a new reMix. Something a little different this time, a slo-mo Disco, late night reMix of Astrobal’s ‘Trains’.

Deep, absorbing grooves are the order of the day with this track. Hypnotic beats and synthetic soundscapes layer and build upon each other to create the base for this narcotic tune. Released as part of the ‘Astrobal Reworked’ reMix album Meridians have made the utterly right decision to keep, along with the dreamlike vocals, the VL-Tone-esque percussion for the future effect.
