VanGuard reMix The Scientists Of Modern Music, again

The Scientists Of Modern Music

The Scientists Of Modern Music must have loved VanGuard’s last reMix for them so much, they’ve gone and got them back to work over their forthcoming new single.

The welsh Nu-Disco outfit have done another stellar job on the reMix. Their version of ‘Girl On Top’ is pure funky goodness. The percussion in this tune is crazy, and it’s what drives the track along and provides such an intense backing for VanGuard’s big, rounded, funk synths and soaring leads. Mix that up with The Scientists Of Modern Music’s slick Antipodean ElectroPop and you’ve got a cool glide straight to the dancefloor.

‘Girl On Top’ is out soon.

Clancy reMixes Robyn’s ‘None Of Dem’

robyn

We’ve been waiting for this one for a while. As unashamed lovers of Robyn we can’t think of anything better than Clancy, one of the UKs top Nu-Disco producers reMixing ‘None Of Dem’.

Clancy peppers his retro synth groove with a sweet ‘90’s House Piano riff running throughout. There’s also a nice Italo influence in the bassline too, in fact the reMix seems to be a melting pot of everything that’s good and great in dance music, wrapped up with Robyn’s left-field ElectroPop. That’s kinda’ what I like about Clancy, as well as having the production skills, he always seems keen to draw on different styles but never let’s them overrun what he’s doing. It makes for exciting synth music every time and, as displayed here, dancefloor gold.

♫ Robyn – None Of Dem (Clancy Discoteca reMix)

Clancy’s ‘Panther EP’ is out now and comes highly recommended.

The Sound Of Arrows’ new single

thesoundofarrows

The Sound Of Arrows next slice of sweeping SynthPop euphoria (i.e. their next single) will be ‘Wonders’.

Continuing their recent leaning toward big room sounds, ‘Wonders’, is crazy uplifting, despite being quite mid-paced it’s really hands-in-the-air. This is dancing on the beach at sunrise stuff. There’s a video coming next week, which is something to look forward to if The Sound Of Arrows recent clips are anything to go by.

♫ The Sound Of Arrows – Wonders

‘Wonders’ is released 31st October.

Adrian Lux featuring The Good Natured

The Good Natured

Adrian Lux  has created beast of many faces with his new track alongside The Good Natured.

On the one hand ‘Alive’ is a big progressive monster that veers into Ibiza hands-in-the-air territory. Which seems at total odds with Sara’s often dark, moody, impassioned vocal style and lyrical content. But y’know what? They’ve made it work and the end result is actually pretty powerful. Sure, the lead sound in the chorus is ultimate cheese, but by the second time it comes around you’ll be pumping your fist in the air with the best of them.

♫ Adrian Lux (Feat. The Good Natured) – Alive

The ‘Alive’ single is out now with a reMix package featuring Albin Myers, Blende and Adrian Lux & Style Of Eye to follow.

Housse De Racket reMixed by Robotaki

Housse De Racket

Parisian Indie-ElectroPopsters Housse De Racket’s ‘Roman’ has been knocking around for a while now, with q few reMixes to it’s name. Is there room for one more? There is if it comes from the Canadian who’s name is on every-blog-body’s lips, Robotaki.

Robotaki goes big with this mix, as he tends to do. There’s some really fat sounds lurking around here, both in bass and chords, spacing out the track. With a touch of Funk, a touch of the epic Indie vibe of the original and a touch of dancefloor smash worming their way into Robotaki’s full ElectroPop sound, the whole kinda’ lifts the track, bringing out the emotion, and the groove, of the song.

♫ Housse De Racket – Roman (Robotaki reMix)

Robotaki is in the process of finishing up his début EP due out in 2012.
