Christianoshi reMixed by Trademark (Dreamtrak)

Christianoshi

Here we have a fun slice of late ‘80’s/early ‘90’s inspired ElectroPop in the form of London Bedroom-Pop artist Christianoshi as reMixed by Trademark (including Oil Horton A.K.A. Dreamtrak).

And yes, Trademark is an anagram of Dreamtrak (or the other way round, I believe Trademark came first). Christianoshi has a lot of cool elements to his vocal performance, for example there’s a load of Marc Almond in there, and it all works perfectly with Trademark’s bouncy Pet Shop Boys-esque ElectroPop. ‘Turst’ is a catchy Pop juggernaut with just the right amount of Italo in the mix to make to dancefloor friendly and to justify the amazing amount of cowbell.

MEN Vs. Lesands

MEN

Le Tigre’s JD Samson’s MEN are currently on tour with CSS, which I can imagine is a just a pretty chaotic holiday with occasional shows involved.

To draw attention to this, and to the fact that if you are attending a show you can pick up a limited edition tour 7” featuring CSS and MEN reMixing each other, the band are giving away this reMix of ‘Simutaneously’ be Lesands. Interesting Indie-ElectroPop with a funky little bassline, here you have the prefect warm up for your gig attending.

Rex The Dog teams up with Kris Menace

rex

Y’know, I wouldn’t have immediate paired Rex The Dog and Kris Menace together, but after hearing their new joint single, ‘Pow!’, the resultant tune is as natural as it is massive sounding. A meeting in the middle between their two sounds.

Rex’s ‘Casio Mix’, however is pure Rex. Analog Electro Disco as only Rex does best and the riff from ‘Pow!’ is perfectly suited to a pure Rex remix, you can tell he had a lot of fun with this track, you know how he loves to be surrounded with analog synths just jamming. After hearing the whole EP this reMix is the real stand out track for me.

More from 80s Stallone

cliffhanger

More soundtracking to the greatest movie Sylvester never made from 80s Stallone.

If only the original move had a soundtrack so sweet! 80’s Stallone is in full retro synth mode here with a selection of bright chords and infections riffs. You can imagine Mr. Stallone sitting in a studio with a movie playing, Jan Hammer style, whilst writing as the track has a real narrative feel to it. Just not sure Cliffhanger would have been that move, more excellent SynthWave from 80’s Stallone nonetheless.

Alan Braxe reMixes Ford & Lopatin

Ford & Lopatin

There’s something for every mood with Alan Braxe’s reMix of Ford & Lopatin’s ‘To Much MIDI (Please Forgive Me)’. Literally. He reMixed it twice, one stormer and one for chilling.

Braxe’s main mix is a full on French Touch juggernaut with a really nice euphoric and otherworldly undercurrent that kinda’ zones you out and takes you away when listening to it. The bonus reMix is a stark contract though, and downtempo synth peice, a dreamlike, atmospheric, slowed down Disco peice.

Lazerhawk reMixed by Jordan F

lazerhawk

Oh man, how can you go wrong with this? Synthwave genius Lazerhawk reMixed by one of Australia’s finest up-and-coming producers Jordan F.

Lazerhawk is gearing up to the release of his new EP on 2 Many Printers and Rosso Corsa Records and amongst the reMix talent involved Jordan F conjures up this upbeat slice of night-drive Electro. Rapid fire with a bouncy bassline Jordan, this track is seriously driven, the thing just powers on. Jordan F proved on his last EP that he’s got his game locked down, and his reMixes are doing nothing to dispel that.

♫ Lazerhawk – Arrival (Jordan F reMix)

Lazerhawk’s new EP is out soon also featuring reMixes from Miami Nights 1984 and Mitch Murder.

Silenx’s new track

Silenx

I get excited every time I see Silenx has a new track out!

‘Long Lost Love’ is a storming track form the Portuguese synthesizer wizard and is loaded with all the best elements you’d expect from the man. A deep pulsating bassline and crystal clear leads run the highs and lows of the track leaving the rest to be filled with huge ‘80’s sounding chords. Silenx always captures an atmosphere if anticipation, a feeling in the air that something amazing is about to happen. Life would be so much better soundtracked by Silenx!

Also, cowbell.

♫ Silenx – Long Lost Love

Silenx has a new EP out soon on Boombar Music.
