John Dahlbäck reMixes letthemusicplay

letthemusicplay

Y’know, there’s only two good reasons we can think of for ‘mystery’ (*gag*) outfit letthemusicplay to keep their identities secret. Either they are really, really, ugly, or the *ahem* “famous producers” they are are really shit. It’s probably David Guetta and Will.I.Am, so embarrassed by their terrible back catalogues they are attempting to start afresh. So in letthemusicplay’s case we will wave our growing tedium with ‘mystery’ outfits and say it’s probably a good idea.

Because the music is really good, even if the marketing is nauseating. Both letthemusicplay’s recent collaborations with Cardiff’s Until The Ribbon Breaks have been impressive as hell, and this new reMix of Don’t Weigh Me Down by renowned Sweedish producer John Dahlbäck just adds to that pile. The track, which was recently aired by Annie Mac on her Radio 1 show, is a powerhouse tune that really rolls with the vibe of the original and layers it up with some big dancefloor moments. While not quite as deep and involving as the infectious original the biting chainsaw synths that lead into massive Electro-House riffs are sure to keep the dancefloor moving.

Gesaffelstein’s new single

Gesaffelstein

Incoming is the fourth release on Bromance is the latest double A-Side single from French deep  and dark groove merchant Gesaffelstein. Collectively they call the two tracks the Rise Of Depravity EP, but really, there’s noting ‘extended’ about two tracks, it’s a double A-side single to the rest of us.

The lead track is the dark rave juggernaut Depravity. Easing you in with woozy synths the track soon becomes a hammering dystopian Techno track, relentless in it’s sonic dancefloor assault. The highlight, though, is the flipside, ‘Belgium’. It’s a dark, heavy, Techno track that is completely without mercy. A tune that will make you dance and scare the shit out of you at the same time, with a build so intense that at one point you really don’t know if it’s going to end. I’d make sure there are no hard surfaces or sharp corners around when you stick this tune on.

♫ Gesaffelstein – Belgium

Gesaffelstein’s Rise Of Depravity is released 9th July.

The Frost’s new tunes

The Frost

Russian Nu-Disco producer The Frost has graced these pages a couple of times now, we’ve really been diggin’ his commination of Disco, House and vintage sounds. He’s just dropped three, yes three, brand new tracks. Just like that, no EP, so single, just three new tunes to get your ears around. It’s like a Disco treat.

So what’s new? Well, of the tree new tracks, two of the are vocal, and amazing, and the other one is instrumental, and amazing. Night Driving is the vox-less tune, but what it lacks in voice, it makes up for in richness. Layers upon layers of lush synths build a retro sound over a solid Disco backing. Despite the heavy rhythm section, it’s quite a light and airy tune, bringing the Dreamwave to the Nu-Disco. Perfecto Love (You Will Die) kicks off with a pulsating electronic groove before evolving into something quite unique. It’s Disco and House, but with an almost Celtic flavour. The piercing synths and ethereal vocals from Elenitia give it a quality not heard a lot in Dance music, arrangement wise it;s almost a Rock track, made with synths. Dancey as hell though. Sexy Frictions brings the Electro groove back, once again with Elenitia on vocals, this one is a big euphoric tune. Keeping a tiny bit of Perfecto Love’s ethereal quality, this track applies it to some straight up modern Electro Boogie. Punchy beats and flying digital synth riffs make this tune a total jump up track.

Rogue Vogue’s new single

Rogue Vogue

Rogue Vogue is that rare beast, a Chicago House producer actually from Chicago. I wonder if that makes him really smug at Chicago House producer get-togethers? If it was me I would well play the Chicago card all the time.

His latest track, When I Looked At You, was premiered on the last of The Magician’s Magic Tapes, and is released soon through French Express. It’s a proper deep Chicago groove complete with piano hook and hollow bass. Apparently, with the resurgence of early ‘90’s House sounds people are saying “jackin’” again, well this is without a doubt a jackin’ tune with a smooth vocal hook. Proper late night danceflor stuff whit this amazing lead line that occasionally drops in and out. This is the real deal.

Sneaky Sound System’s ‘Friends’ reMixes

Sneaky Sound System

There’s a few reMixes of Australian Pop superheroes Sneaky Sound System’s new single Friends around, the whole single package is really good, including work from BeNi, Sneaky SoundSystem’s own Black Angus and an awesome mix from Plastic Plates we featured last week. Of the tracks on the single that are fresh to our ears, the mixes from Jonny Pow!! and Norman Doray are the standouts.

Plastic Plates aside, Jonny Pow!! delivers the best of the crop. A Funky ElectroPop tune that takes Connie’s big vocal and adds more Disco groove and this infections synth hook that worms it’s way into your brain. This is definitely, alongside the Plastic Plates mix, the more intelligent reMix in the package. For summer DiscoPop connoisseurs If you want massive danceflor action, then Norman Doray delivers, generic Trance lead aside it’ll do the job, just try not to think about it too hard. It’s all good fun.

The Presets’ ‘Youth In Trouble’

You know what I thought when I went to bed last night? I thought ‘I hope there’s a new track from The Presets released when I wake up’, their first new track for four years’. Look what happened!

Youth In Trouble is finally out today. A hypnotic, undulating, acidic odyssey. Both abrasive and funky as hell. Yoshi Sodeoka directs the video effects hell video, an assault on the senses to match the track.

Youth In Trouble is out now with reMixes from Green Velvet, Alex Metric, and The Finger Prince & Light Year (although we can find it in any store that sells decent quality downloads yet, just iTunes).

The Presets new album Pacifica is out 14th September on Modular.

Rocco Raimundo’s ‘Do You Wanna’?’

Rocco Raimundo

The ‘90’s House sound has now infiltrated everything, not that that’s a bad thing but four years ago we wouldn’t have expected it to be the next big thing. Now it is however the nostalgia is really fun. Which comes as no shock as House in the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s was all about the fun. Disco dons want in on the act too, normally renowned for his late night Disco boogie Mr. Rocco Raimundo’s latest SoundCloud drop is positively ‘90’s House.

Not surprising really, as his tune, Do You Wanna’? is based around Salt ‘N’ Pepa’s Do You Really Want Me, taking it’s main loop and vocal snatches Raimundo turns a Pop Rap track into deep Chicago House and makes it look effortless.  Phasing in and out the smallest of vocal sample and letting the hook, with some added deep bass groove, do the work of pumping out a hypnotic jam. Whether Disco or House, Rocco Raimundo can work the dancefloor.

♫ Rocco Raimundo – Do You Wanna’?

Rocco Raimundo’s new single, This Is The Love, is out next month.
