[Audio] Keljet & AVAN LAVA’s ‘Together’

The new single from Dutch duo Keljet, still riding high on the waves of their Love Of A Life single, sees the Disco dons teaming up with Brooklyn band AVAN LAVA for some seriously epic big room vibes. Released at the end of the month on Can You Feel It? Records, Together looks set to become a club anthem alongside reMixes from Oliver Nelson and René Amesz.

This one is all about the prefect harmony of Keljet’s big, thumping, beats and AVAN LAVA’s rousing vocals. Definitely bringing a hands-in-the-air quality to the track, the vocals are pure sing-a-long, fist pumping, fodder while Keljet’s slightly Cosmic main room Disco sound is as huge as ever. A quality combination of both acts going large and doing what they do best.

[Audio] frYars’ ‘The Power’

The reappearance of London’s frYars with Cool Like Me earlier in the year resulted in our of our favourite tunes of 2013 so far. Now the man is following up on the runaway success of that single with his new, slightly more downtempo, release. The Power is the lead track on his forthcoming Radio PWR EP due out in October on 679.

It’s a sweeping, hand-in-the-air track, mixing up real instruments and layers of electronics to create and intimate, introspective sound. Lyrically the track is pretty genius, with some amazing lines in there I will leave you to discover. It’s pseudo-60s meets London ElectroPop groove is pretty enchanting and it’s raw production is just the right tack to take on a track like this.We expect to be hearing a lot more of The Power in coming months.

[Audio] Classixx reMixes Quadron’s ‘Hey Love’

Not content with putting out one of the albums of the year, Hanging Gardens, Disco duo Classixx have been quietly delivering some of the years best reMixes too. Their latest masterpiece comes in the form of this mix of Danish ElectroPop outfit Quadron and their recent single, Hey Love.

Classixx’s version of the tune plays up the soulful vocals and laid back mood of the original whilst injecting it with a little of that poolside magic. Popping arpeggios ride over thick, thick, synth bass as the duo whip up an LA Funk vibe with a slight robotic quality that work well with the originals borderline diva styling.Even incorporating a hint of early 90s House in the mix, the Classixx guys have turned-in another winner here.

[Audio] Monsieur Adi reMixes Two Door Cinema Club’s ‘Changing Of The Seasons’

I’m really not sure if Monsieur Adi sleeps. The man had been busy as hell in the run up to the release of his soon-to-be massive hit What’s Going On? with A*M*E. Only this week the shiny new video for the single was released, but Adi still has time to knock out stunning reMix after stunning reMix. The latest being for the Madeon produced new single from Kitsuné IndiePoppers Two Door Cinema Club, Changing Of The Seasons.

Adi turns-in a spot-on version of the track, hitting the right point between laid back and dancefloor worthy, Adi, works a chilled Disco vibe, laden with thick synth bass and his wonderful strings, which is an step apart from the big room backing of the original, but somehow weaves it’s way into the song and makes it Adi’s own. The vocals seem to fit themselves around this new vibe, rising and falling with the mood of the track. It’s almost unbelievable that in his entire career Adi has never failed to impress, and he;s only just starting to blow up. We wish him the best of luck.

[MP3] Thief’s ‘Broken Boy’

Just gotta’ drop a little copy and pasted press release here, it;s not often we get press releases with lists of awards in. “Thief is the new electronic pop project of PJ Wolf. A previous winner of the Triple J Unearthed Top Song competition and recipient of the Foundation for Young Australians Buzz Grant, PJ was recently shortlisted for the prestigious Vanda and Young songwriting competition for his track Closer.” We can’t help but wonder of the Foundation for Young Australians Buzz Grant is a grant for young Australians who buzz or a buzzing grant for young Australians, we’d like to think it was the latter, must be a nightmare in batteries. Whatever the case, that’s quite an impressive rack of achievements this guy had to his name, and now he’s traded in his guitars for some altogether better synthesizers and joined forced with Brisbane-based producer Matt Redlich (Emma Louise, Hungary Kids Of Hungary, Yes You) to form Thief to deliver the sweetest of SynthPop tunes, like Broken Boy.

Broken Boy is like a soulful Kraftwerk. Vintage drum machine beats with an old school Electro pop craft out B-boy rhythms amidst a sea of analog arpeggios that forms a nice contrast to the more Indie piano and bass work. Quite a stripped down and minimal track, Broken Boy still maintains it’s humanity, largely thanks to the heartfelt vocals that wash the track. The tune is complimented by a reMix from Brazilian producer Césare, who turns the track into a lush dance tune. Not quite Nu-Disco, but leveraging a lot of funk in it’s retro dancefloor action. An impressive début all-round, we’ll be keeping an eye on Thief.

[Audio] Jensen Sportag’s ‘Rain Code’

Rain Code is the third taster you’ve got from Nashville space cadets Jensen Sportag’s forthcoming, and amazing, début album, Stealth Of Days. That’s now three opportunities you’ve had to revel in this duo’s mysterious, romantic, dreamlike musical world before the records release on Cascine next month. You should be well excited by now, if you’re not than there’s a chance you’ve actually been listening to something else. We’ve been listening to the new Jensen Sportag album, if you have not then it sucks to be you.

Rain Code has an oddly onomatopoeic title. Which is probably a completely fatuous use of the word onomatopoeic but it really does sound, in some way, like rain code (whatever rain code is). Kinda’ gently, yet imposing. Complex and delicate. The beauty of rain and the intricacies of code. Totally captivating, and it’ll make the ladies wet (I can’t believe I just wrote that!). Huddle under your digital umbrella and prepare for a slight chance of electric piano, gusts of warm synth, ghostly yet human vocal showers and a force five chillnado.

♫ Jensen Sportag – Rain Code

Jensen Sportag’s Under The Rose is released 12th November.
