Frech Touch | electronic rumors

Ever wondered what the reigning champ of British SynthPop, Bright Light Bright Light, would sound like alongside a truck load of French Touch? Well wonder no more. It’s been an awesome year for BLx2 so far, from being main tour support worldwide for Sit Elton John, to the release of his well received sophomore album, Life Is Easy, AND featuring on electronic rumors last release! What more could the man ask for? How about French Touch pioneer Alan Braxe working his Disco magic on one of your tunes?

Mr. Braxe has had a bit of a resurgence of output int he past twelve months (and by resurgence we mean one EP and a handful of reMixes, which is relatively a lot!), and this reMix really is the pinnacle of that. BLx2’s emotional original was already a captivating and passionate Pop song, but with a healthy injection of continental Disco; courtesy of a rubbery bassline, filtered pads and a rock solid clap-a-long beat, the track takes on new floorfilling dimensions. Sparkling arpeggios jokey for attention alongside Rod’s vocals as the track neatly lifts your mood. The perfect combination.

Mixing up a bit of Disco, a bit of SynthWave and a bit of French Electro comes central European producer Atrey. A man who’s visual imagery and attitude seem deeply embroiled int he SynthWave scene but who music has more in common with the kind of huge Electro tunes from a few years back, albeit with a smooth Disco twist.

His latest single, Guilty Pleasure is a prime example. Begining with moody 80s soundtrack chords, the track soon descends into mind-blowing, heave digital slap-bassed, French Electro that could easily stand shoulder to shoulder with the best Ed Banger output. A masterclass in frantic synth Disco, there is so much going on in this track it’s astounding; and delivered with crystal clean production. Infectious as hell, feel no guilt about loving Guilty Pleasure.
