[MP3] Jupiter reMixed by Mr. Gonzo

French Nu-Disco producer Mr. Gonzo is on a roll right now. Hot on the heels of his storming new single with Romuald, Gon Be A Thrill, his is the first reMix to break cover from the long rumoured Jupiter reMix album. The amazing Parisian ElectroPop duo have roped in a star studded cast to rework their Juicy Lucy album of last year. Mr. gonzo will be rubbing shoulder with the likes of Little Boots, Yan Wagner, Para One & Tacteel, JBAG, Juveniles, The Supermen Lovers, Steve Moore, Marius, and Colour Vision, which is quite scary company. Let’s see how he does.

Elliot Uppercut, one of the standouts on a stand out album, is the track Gonzo gets to grips with and fully delivers on smooth and sexy French Touch Disco. Despite being quite high energy, Mr. Gonzo manages to keep things on a laid back tip using lush synths and a sliding Disco bassline to their fullest. Amélie’s vocals sound as sweet as ever as the glide over. The synths in this reMix are so think, they melt into the track like chocolate, creating this delicious Disco ooze. This is a track mirrorballs were invented for. It’s so brilliant it’s like an audio lens-flare

Jupiter’s Juicy Lucy reMixed will be released 18th March.

[Audio] Reflex reMix DJ Cam

Uncomfortable was a single from French legend DJ Cam we featured around this time last year. At the time the release was slated to include a reMix from one of our favourite bands in the world, fellow French ElectroPoppers Reflex, but it never showed up (not in any official capacity anyway). Now, a year later Cam is bringing out a remix album, succinctly titled reMixed, and low and behold here’s Reflex’s work.

Reflex utilise their penchant for buzzing, funky, synths to it’s fullest here dropping a bucket load of raw analog Disco goodness. Mixing up Chris James’ soulful vocals with Relfex’s galactic synthetic soundtrack results in something a little more exciting than previous reMixes. Arpeggios fly left and right, amid swirling clouds of thick synth tones as Reflex’s SynthPop meets a groove laden Disco bassline. it’s so good I can’t even remember the others.

[Audio] Final DJs reMix Plane Shepard

Oh, Germany’s Final DJs always bring us the very best sweet sweet synthesizer music. This time they have been hand picked by Kris Menace’s renowned label Work It Baby! to deliver their reMxing good on newcomer Plane Shepard’s début single.

The track’s called Play With You, and Final DJs get deep into the groove with this five minute breezy anthem. Final Djs do love their soaring leads (as do we!), and right here they put them to work, sweeping over an Electro Boogie bassline and a hint of Tropical percussion.

[MP3] Futurecop!’s new single

Later this month, the UK’s SynthWave champions Futurecop! release their brand new single. A precursor to their forthcoming album, Hopes, Dreams & Alienation, the single features vocal work from Ricco Vitali from Cavaliers Of Fun and a whole host of reMix talent, including the likes of Lifelike and Stellar Dreams.

Atlantic 1997 is pure Futurecop!. Long time live favourite, the track us an uplifting rush of nostalgic synthesizer power. Waves of rich synths compliment the steady Italo Disco groove and produce the a dreamy 80s soundtrack. the disco swing of the track, combined with Vitali’s anthemic, and catchy, vocal gives the track a holiday sheen. It’s all carefree good times. French Disco underdogs Uppermost turn in a huge and involving reMix of the track, wrapping it in lush, reverby, French Touch with a grinding synth bass. Polish outfit P.A.F.F. also deliver the goods with their reMix. their Hipstercop version rings out like an Indie-Electro summer anthem, complete with infectious chiming melody and big chorus. It;s an excellent single package and one that bodes well for the album.

[MP3] Christa Vi remixed by Skitch

London based singer/songwriter Christa Vi’s Your Heart is getting on in music years now. Originally brought to our attention way back on November 2011 and released n March last year it’s settled in as one of those songs that occasionally pops into your head for no reason other than it’s stored in your brains ‘unnervingly catchy’ bank. The tracks track was given a new lease of life yesterday with a brand new video and a brand new reMix. the video, a stop motion epic that makes our brains hurt when we think about making it, can be seen here, the remix can be heard below.

South London producer Skitch, who used to be one half of Blende, delivers a straight-up Disco jam. Like the first wave of French Touch, this tune is a heavily filtered groover. the high point of the reMix is the innovative use of the vocals, which sees Skitch cutting and pasting the lyrics to create new sentiments and a vocal hook that fits his pool party Disco perfectly.

The video however, is terrifying. That is all.

[Audio] Arvo Prime

Some heavy and melodic Electro now from relative newcomer Arvo Prime. In the past few months this German producer has racked up a fairly impressive volume of tunes on his SoundCloud. Obviously influenced by Ed Banger Records and the French Electro scene, it’s rare for an up-and-coming artists to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with their inspirations, but Arvo Prime does just that with ease.

Lin is his latest tune and, as with all his tracks, the lazy thing to do would be to compare him to Justice, which I’m sure will happen to this guy a lot. But many time he out-Justices Justice on sheer musicality of his tunes and production style. Lin is an epic, baroque, Electro tune, crammed full of complex melodies and a pounding Electro groove. Au Château is out favourite of his tunes. Powered by a Moog Funk bassline and more of his piercing baroque lead lines this could have easily been on any number of Ed Banger Releases. Proper medieval Electro gold.

♫ Arvo Prime – Lin

♫ Arvo Prime – Au Château

Also check out his entry in the reMix contest for What You Want, one of the only listenable tracks on the new Boys Noize album. This slab of Industrial Funk was rated as one of his favourites by Ridha himself.

[Audio] Lifelike reMixes Alan Braxe & The Spimes

French Touch legend Alan Braxe is back and kicking off 2013 with a brand new single, not on his own Vulture Music imprint, but on the ever hip Scion Audio/Visual. Not only that, but the entire release is free too!

Once More Chance is a collaboration between Braxe and fellow Frenchmen The Spimes (what old school Kitsuné dude Romuald is doing now), and it’s not necessarily what you’d expect from the Nu-Disco pioneer. Slow and atmospheric, One More chance seems to share more common DNA with Chillwave that Braxe’s previous floorfillers. Don’t let that put you off though, it’s a beautiful, enveloping track that echoes with big reverby drums, swirling synths and Romuald hazy vocals. Oh, and there’s a Lifelike remix too. Boom. This sounds more like that track you were probably expecting. Gritty French Electro bass, and buzzsaw synths amidst a pounding beat. We could have probably done with a tiny bit less of the record flutter effect though, which gets a little tedious after three minutes. Still, you can’t say no to a rockin’ Lifelike reMix.

[Audio] The Presets reMixed by Lifelike

Promises was definitely one of the highlights of The Presets’ under promoted, and underrated, comeback album Pacifica and with the single release we’re definitely getting a better crop of reMix talent that the previous couple of singles from these guys. First up there was Plastic Plates’ awesome mix, now comes Lifelike fresh from the release of Don’t Stop with A-Trak, to take a crack at the track.

Lifelike? reMixing The Presets? Tonight are we going to party like it;s 2008? Indeed we are, this tune is both classic Lifelike and classic The Presets. It’s like This Boy’s In Love (Lifelike reMix) part 2, and that’s an amazing thing! A bit slower, a bit more funky than Lifelike’s frantic arpeggio fuelled The Presets reMix, but the same vibe shines though. The vocals in this track are pretty epic, a true gift for any producer who specialises in massive dancefloor tunes, such as Lifelike, which is handy. Punchy digital bass, solid beats, a swell of sparking synths that wrap around the chorus, all classic Lifelike sounding. Needless to say, this tune is very good.
