Gigamesh X Grouplove

Grouplove

I have no idea who Grouplove are. Apparently they’re quite famous in Indie-Rock circles, circles I try to stay away from. They look a bit twee to me and are probably far to quaint for anyone’s good, but, sweet Raptor Jesus, has Gigamesh dropped an absolute blinder of a reMix of their track ‘Tongue Tied’.

Gigamesh just knows exactly what he’s doing. This reMix is actually pretty complex, both in programming and arrangement, but in Gigamesh’s hands it feels effortless. I gave the original a quick listen and Gigamesh has been pretty respectful of the song and pinpointed what works in it, extracted that and washed the whole thing in his summery, good times, Disco vibe. With some clever vocal sampling, a seriously funky, diving, bass section and layers of synth with just the right amount of warmth Gigamesh delivers a fun, bubbly, party tune to rock your dancefloors. Although he’s still enjoying the success of his début EP, we here are gagging for more Gigamesh. Fingers crossed for another EP soon!

Cyclist reMixes Gigamesh

gigamesh2

Vancouver based producer Cyclist has just dropped his contribution to the forthcoming collection of reMixes of Gigamesh’s recent self-titled EP.

Cyclist’s take on ‘People’, is a beautiful cacophony of squelchy, slappy, Moogy bass and hammered piano riffs. Cyclist’s solid funk drives the track along like a bass heavy juggernaut. i don’t know why he;s called Cyclist, he should name himself Funk Truck Driver!

♫ Gigamesh (Feat. Nicole Godiva) – People (Cyclist reMix)

The Gigamesh rEMix EP is out 6th December and features work from Moullinex, Fare Soldi, Alexander Holland and Goldroom.

Gigamesh reMixes Citizens!

Citizens!

Kitsuné Music’s latest gang of smart-shirted Indie-kids-with-synths Citizens! have had their catchy new single ‘True Romance’ reMixed by the always excellent Gigamesh.

The first thing you notice about Gigamesh’s reMix is this classic electronic Pop Funk bassline which really provides a backbone for the track. Gigamesh’s knack for Nu-Disco and Dreamwave is slightly subverted by the retro Pop of Citizens! but the end result is a really cool, and pretty authentic, peice of ‘80’s sounding Pop.

♫ Citizens! – True Romance (Gigamesh reMix)

Citizens! début single is released 19th December, until the check them out on SoundCloud.

Goldroom reMixes Gigamesh

gigamesh2

I’ve been dying to post this for a couple of weeks and now I finally can. Here’s Goldroom‘s masterful reMix of Gigamesh’s ‘Red Light’.

Premiered on The Magicians’ ‘Magic Tape Sixteen’ , Josh Legg’s reMix can only be described as ‘a treat for the ears’. This track is the aural equivalent of sitting on a rooftop, overlooking the city, watching the sun go down, an end to the day and the slow beginnings of the night. I would have said ‘sitting on a beach’ but there is something slightly urban about the track, I think it’s the rolling ‘80’s bass gives it a hot city nights feel while the dreamy synth work bring to mind that point at dusk when anything is possible. We’ve really dug all of Josh’s Goldroom work so far, but he has really nailed it this time!

Fare Soldi reMix Gigamesh

gigamesh

If you haven’t already picked up Gigamesh’s new self-titled EP rest assured it comes highly recommended for putting some groove in your weekend.

In celebration of the recent release Italy’s madcap Disco heads Fare Soldi have dropped their reMix of ‘So Intense’ that features on this weeks full reMix package release. The track is classic Fare Soldi, only the most powerful and in-your-face Italo influenced Disco-House, with a sense of fun. When the bassline kicks in you can’t help but move, and grin, to this.

Gigamesh’s new EP

Gigamesh

Nu-Disco producer Gigamesh has had a awesome year, building his reputation with some seriously solid reMixes. The man releases his long awaited self-titled début EP this week.

The lead track on the EP is ‘When You’re Dancing’, featuring Induce, is a boogie fuelled DiscoPop tune with a Quincy Jones vibe to it as Gigamesh adds a ton of soul to his synths and Induce brings a Jackson 5 quality to the vocals. reMixes come from Cassian and RAC. Cassian turn up the horn section and piano for a full on Disco workout while RAC brings things right back to the synthetic with their roboDisco take on the track.

Gigamesh has also crafted a follow up to his ‘Sunlight’ reMix of Theophilus London’s ‘I Stand Alone’, this ‘Moonlight’ version is pure ‘80’s soundtrack awesomeness, the prefect fit for your next training montage.

Gigamesh reMixes Katy B

Gigamesh goes old school Electro with added Miami Bass for this new reMix of Katy B & Ms. Dynamite’s ‘Lights On’

Rocking a Planet Rock beat Gigamesh keeps it low and synthetic, very different to what we are used to from the man but a welcome sound. The addition of just a subtle amount of House piano make it seem all the more fresh. Gigamesh isn’t just a one trick pony it seems.

Gigamesh re-edits The Popular People’s Front

I was turned onto this Gigamesh edit of Disco troupe The Popular People’s Front’s ‘Part Over Here’ after Ride The Universe’s appearance on Fear Of Tigers’ ‘The Guestlist’ show.

The addition of an Electro beat and a nice running arpeggio really adds to the track and highlights that awesome Funk bass. This track becomes the ultimate expression of Cosmic Disco, perfect for partying in the sunshine (when it gets here!). Gigamesh’s EP won’t be here until August apparently, so it’s a good job he’s turning out edits like this one to keep us going until then!

‘Party Over Here’ is taken from The Popular People’s Front’s ‘Limited Series 03’ EP.

Gigamesh & Foster The People

What a tune to come back from the weekend too! Gigamesh smashes this reMix of Foster The People’s ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ right out of the park!

With just the right mix of Indie-Electro and Disco Gigamesh has revamped FTP’s over-remixed ‘hit’ into a piano and electro tom laden summer anthem. A new lease of life for the track was defiantly needed for this song to get some of the summer play it so desperately wanted and Gigamesh has done just that.
