Lenno reMixes Gracias

Gracias

Here’s a new reMix from one of our favourite current Nu-Disco producers, The Finnish Lenno. Originally recorded for a re-cap video of a Nike event in Helsinki, the man has now made it available to download from his Facebook page.

We briefly check out out the original, it’s well done, but pretty standard Hip Hop from Gracias called ‘40k Volts’. Lenno has stripped it down to it’s barest essentially, keeping just the occasional snatched of vocal and the rebuilt it as a main room Nu-Disco stormer. Lenno has such a huge peak time sound that is fast becoming his trademark. Dropping an extra bit of House piano into the mix, Lenno actives an even fuller track, and a groove that is guaranteed to keep the dancefloor moving. Isn’t it about time for a new Lenno EP? We definitely think so.

The Penelopes reMixed by Gigamesh & Style Of Eye

The Penelopes

No sooner had ElectroPoppers The Penelopes premiered their forthcoming new single ‘Summer Life’ than we are treated to this first reMixes of the track, from Dreamwave genius Gigamesh and Swedish bass master Style Of Eye.

Style Of Eye’s mix is a big droning bass monster, balancing the airy nature of the track and his own high-octane Rave but combining floaty arpeggios and storming hands-in-the-air synths he turns the ElectroPop track into a full-on party starter. Gigamesh, on the other hand, wows us with his slick Disco. Giving the track a little extra Funk, Gigamesh layers infectious bass with waves of shimmering synth work and truly makes a track for the summer. The use of the vocals, tailored to Gigamesh’s tune, switches the track around a little, whist the original was for lazy reminiscing, this mic is for dancing in the sunshine. We’re really looking forward to seeing what else the reMix package holds.

♫ Edwin Van Cleef – Nala (Summer Best Pals Mix)

New reMix from Edwin Van Cleef

Edwin Van Cleef

To accompany his return to the monthly mixtape game Edwin Van Cleef has also dropped a new free reMix of ‘Nala’, the B-side to his ‘falling’ single. The original was pretty summery as it is, full of big sunrise moments. How much more summery can the ‘Summer Best Pals’ mix really be?

Quite a bit as it turns out, keeping the melodies of the original intact this new version ups the Balearic quota somewhat. If you’re dancing on a beach at some point this summer, there may be a good chance that you’re dancing to this, ‘cos this is what it was designed for. Pure good times Disco, with a hint of nostalgia to it, but mostly just the party.

Edwin Van Cleef’s ‘Falling’/’Nala’ single is out now.

♫ Lo-Fi-Fnk – Shut The World Out (Mitzi reMix)

Lo-Fi-Fnk & Mitzi

Lo-Fi-Fnk

Crazy Swedish ElectroPoppers Lo-Fi-Fnk’s new single has been released for free, well, we say free, it actually costs a tweet or a ‘Like’. On one hand that is am amazingly low price to pay for an awesome release, on the other hand getting us to Tweet or ‘Like’ something is becoming a bit of a transparent PR ploy which doesn’t gain real fans, just up stats, which are meaningless. Also, how do we know if we ‘Like’ something before we have it? We know music has always been a numbers game, but the numbers used to have meaning, now it’s just how many people have clicked your ‘Like’ button and then completely forgotten about you. Weird. Anyhoo, luckily, we do like Lo-Fi-Fnk’s new single, it’s easily worth the price.

And it comes with this mix from Australians Mitzi, who bust out their very finest warm bouncy House to add to Lo-Fi-Fnk’s ElectroPop. The result is a confortable feeling track which is pretty anthemic and generally full of feel good vibes. There’s a nice bit of ‘90’s House piano in there, but it’s used a lot more suitably than most tracks around today, which gives it a fuller sound without being overpowering. It;s just good, classic, Pop House. And you can’t say fairer than that.

You can pick up the whole single for the price of a tweet right here.

Cassian’s ‘Love Cuts’

Cassian

Next month Nürvous Records will be releasing the new double A-side single from Cassian, one of Australia’s funkiest producers. It’s been all about the reMixes and DJ sets for Cassian recently, but by the sounds of the two tracks contained in ‘Love Cuts’ he’s bot been sitting on his production laurels.

Made up of ‘I Love It’ and ‘Reach For Love’, the EP presents two instant classic Disco tinged House tracks. ‘I Love It’ is the track that instantly grabbed us, it’s built around a killer deep bassline. Raw and analog, it’s totally hypnotic and has both a Rough Disco and a Chicago vibe to it, the whole track plays out like the best things about House music with some searing early ‘90’s Bleep House synths in the mix too. The A-side, ‘Reach For Love’ is a really nostalgic slice of House. Bouncy, rounded bassline and soulful vocal in tow. It’s very hands-in-the-air peak time House, and one of the best examples of it we’ve seen in a while.

♫ Peaches (Feat. Shunda K.) – Billionaire (Electrosexual reMix)

Electrosexual reMixes Peaches

Peaches

Here we have a reMix of ‘Billionaire’ from Canadian ElectroPunk Peaches’ last album, ‘I Feel Cream, from 2009. It’s from French House genius Electrosexual and features Yo! Majesty’s Shunda K.. It’s a weird collection of elements that were big three years ago but it’s pretty awesome regardless.

You can kinda’ tell it’s a few years old, it’s got the crunchy Electro sound that fit in that period. It’s also really EBM, or at least Electro Industrial, it’s got chunky guitar samples, militaristic basslines and random LFO’d synths. Add to this Peaches and Shunds K.’s rapping it could be something from Consolidated, or The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy from the early ‘90’s, and I mean that in the best possible way, albeit with a bit of a contemporary glitterball sheen. You’re probably not going to be dropping it in your latest set, but it;s good fun nonetheless.

Peaches’ ‘I Feel Cream’ is out now.
