More Penguin Prison reMixes

penguinprison

Penguin Prison’s ‘Fair Warning’ is finally released as a single toward the end of the month, so here’s is some more reMixes to get you pumped.

We’ve dropped the dub of Goldroom’s mix last week but now you can check out the full reMix version. Josh Legg whips up a relaxed beach party vibe The main riff keeps your head nodding while the distant guitar chug and tropical drum fills work their magic to conjure up images of good times and sunsets. All this works amazingly well with PPs vocals, taking him out of the city to being amongst the palm trees. Manchester’s Club Clique exists in the place where Indie-Electro and Disco meet. With an almost New York Disco video that wouldn’t be out of place on DFA, with a solid Disco Bass and smooth synths plating against a relentless Funk guitar riff that makes the song it’s own.

♫ Penguin Prison – Fair Warning (Goldroom reMix)

♫ Penguin Prison – Fair Warning (Club Clique Actualité reMix)

‘Fair Warning’ is released on 26th July.

Goin’ Old School: A Flock Of Seagulls – I Ran (So Far Away)

Even though I don’t believe New Wave exists, I can’t think of any other way to describe A Flock Of Seagulls. 1982 was the year of ‘I Ran (So Far Away)’.

M83’s new track

m83

Yes, I know. It’s all over the internet and unless you’ve been hiding under a soundproofed rock this past 24 hours you’ll have already heard this. But, whatever, it’s an awesome tune, I was bust yeaterday. What?

Anyway, M83 has given the world a taste of what to expect from his long, long, awaited new album, to be titled, ‘Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming’. ‘Midnight City’ is a pretty amazing teaser. Densely layered, yet spacious in it’s production (by Justin Meldal-Johnson, who has worked with Beck, Nine Inch Nails, The Mars Volta and Goldfrapp) the track is weird, but perfect, combination between 80’s Pop and modern Indie, as in it has a really 80’s vibe to it (and includes an epic, epic, sax solo) but doesn’t feel dated or retro. intelligent ElectroPop with so much going on in it, yet it all works together so well, and when the chorus kicks in, pure musical excitement.

♫ M83 – Midnight City

‘Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming’ is released 18th October.

Retro/Grade reMixes

Here we have a couple of reMixes of Retro/Grade anthemic DancePop current single ‘Mindfighter’.

The single was released yesterday. It’s a ElectroPop Sci-Fi call-to-arms that gets a deep House workout from Maxxi Soundsystem who’s ‘Warehouse Mix’ has a proper late 80’s/early 90’s free-party vibe. The low square wave bassline and atmospheric electronic creating that hypnotic groove that used to flood abandoned buildings full of revellers. Dollface Devereaux seriously impresses with their massive ElectroPop/House mix. Everything is big in this track. Big digital bass, big House piano riff, big drum rolls, big synth abuse, all fitting with the big nature of the song.

♫ Retro/Grade – Mindfighter (Dollface reMix)

♫ Retro/Grade – Mindfighter (Maxxi Soundsystem Warehouse Mix)

‘Mindfighter’ is the first of three singles to be released this year that all together will make up their début album ‘Motion’.

Alfa Vs. Van Go Lion

Van-Go-Lion

Here is where I make a joke about Alfa tracks being like busses, you wait and wait and wait then three come along at one.

This time he’s turned his attention to Portland’s finest, Van Go Lion’s ‘Glow’ and he’s getting even more funky. The Moog Funk lead line running throughout the track forms a solid bedrock which grounds the emotionally resonate song. A complex track, meticulously produced, Alfa has matched the tone of the track, just moved it to a different music location. Whereas the original was sweet SynthPop, Alfa gives it a groove and some street cred.

♫ Van Go Lion – Glow (Alfa’s Snow White reMix)

Van Go Lion’s singles ‘Body Moves’ and ‘We Don’t Miss A Beat’ are out now.

Alfa Vs. Little Boots

little-boots

The first of our Alfa triple-threat today come in the form of an older track, but one that gives us an excuse to post some Little Boots, and it’s been a while.

Alfa’s take on ‘Earthquake’ bring a whole new bassline and lead to the proceedings. Layering Ms. Hesketh’s bubbly Pop with a coating of smooth LA Electro Funk shows the song in a whole new light. Less urgent than the original, Alfa takes his time to build a tune that doesn’t have a care in the world. Sink into the lush synth lines.
