[Video] Château Marmont’s ‘Invisible Eye’

Parisian quirky ElectroPop outfit Château Marmont’s new single is Invisible Eye, an enigmatic, involving, SynthPop tune that’s not exactly dark, but somewhat eerie in a beautiful way.

Here’s the video, equally eerie, in a beautiful way, I’m sure you’d agree.

[Audio] Holy Ghost! reMix Donna Summer’s ‘Working The Midnight Shift’

As the release of the eagerly awaited Donna Summer reMix collection, Love To Love You Donna, draws ever nearer, new track are beginning to break ground. Here we are very excited to grab a listen to one of our favourite bands, New York DiscoPop duo Holy Ghost! (who are gearing up for the release of their phenomenal second album, Dynamics) tackling Donna’s 1977 album track, Working The Midnight Shift.

The original pairs Donna’s heartfelt vocals with the classic Moroder Sci-Fi Italo, Holy Ghost! build on this, but add a little of their own Disco swing. Upping the energy levels slightly, this reMix bring big stabbing leads to the table whilst nodding to the originals arpeggiated bassline. Equal parts New York Disco, European Italo with a hint of DFA, Holy Ghost! and Donna Summer seem like the prefect combination to bring an original NYC Disco sound to 2013. Seriously, between this and the Chrome & Oliver reMix, we are very excited for this album to drop.

♫ Donna Summer – Working The Midnight Shift (Holy Ghost! reMix)

Donna Summer’s Love To Love You Donna is released 22nd October via Verve.

[MP3] Viceroy reMixes Hunter Hunted’s ‘Keep Together’

San Francisco beach Disco-meister Viceroy is at it again. This time the man is tacking LA Indie-Rock duo Hunter Hunted’s Keep Together, from their recent, self-titled EP. Taking the jangly, and if we’re honest a little mediocre, IndiePop and turning it into a wonder of summer DiscoPop is no mean feat, but Viceroy pulls it off in style.

The treat you’re in-for here is an admittedly breezy and catchy vocal pair with some carefree, Disco tinged ElectroPop. The purest of summery tunes, this reMix provides synth leads that seem to come with their own little ray of sunshine. It might be a little saccharine for you, but if you can deal with the good time vibe then you can just let it roll.

[MP3] Chromeo’s ‘Over Your Shoulder’

What a couple of weeks it’s been for new music! To top everything off here’s the new single from the almighty Chromeo. It’s no secret that Chromeo are one of our favourite outfits and after last week’s album teaser we never expected this new single to break ground so soon. But here it is, and a free download too. Get your teeth into Over Your Shoulder.

The words ‘slab’ and ‘funk’ spring immediately to mind, shimmying alongside the word ‘smooth’, as Over Your Shoulder is a smooth slab of funk as only Chrome can deliver. A slick, electric piano driven tune that shows off Chromeo at their subtler, and most quintessential, selves. A tongue-in-cheek tale woven by Dave 1’s vocals set to a thick backing of Electro-Funk and 70s Disco licks, swooshing synths and a lazy bassline, make for the best of laid back Chromeo. The first track taken from Chromeo’s forthcoming new album, White Women, Over Your Shoulder definitely has us eager to hear more.
