Michael Senna & Peter Zohdy

Michael Senna & Peter Zohdy are a pair of Danish producers who are gearing up for the release of their new single, ‘All In Vain’.

It’s a big room ElectroPop/House track with retro Disco edge. It’s the bassline that does it, the bassline and the icy synth hits, both are pure ‘80’s sounds that have been folded into a peak time House track to give it a New Wavey flavour. Add to that some floaty deadpan vocals and our beloved synth toms and you have this strange mixture of euphoric House and late night analog Disco. the B-Side, ‘Dirty Talk’ continues the vintage sound theme into almost Bleep House territory for a truly retro slice of dance music. The EP also comes with a Techno’d up mix from Blonde:Ish.

Substatic’s ‘Opened Up’

substatic

If you happen to be in London town this Friday I’m sure you will be attending the launch party for our ‘electronic rumors Volume 1’ compilation CD, amongst the acts appearing on the album and playing live that night will be Bristol’s almighty Substatic. The, now, two peice will be showcasing some brand new material and as a little taste they have released their latest tune on their SoundCloud page.

The first thing I noticed about ‘Opened Up’ is how accessible it is, Substatic have always been able to turn a tune, to deliver catchy, memorable songs, but ‘Opened Up’ is a whole new level of 21st century alternative ElectroPop. Keeping one foot in a Dubsteppy, Deep House arena Substatic squarely plant their other boot in radio play’s sandpit and kicks things around. I could easily imagine Annie Mac or Zane Lowe spinning this tune. There’s an electronic Indie vibe going on here, similar to CHEW LiPS, but with more of a heavy bassed dancefloor leaning. Can’t wait to hear what else they have in store for us on Friday!

♫ Substatic – Opened Up

You can catch Substatic live in London this friday celebrating the release of our ‘electronic rumors Volume 1’ compilation. Detailes here.

Lamb reMixed by Figure Of 8

lamb

Figure Of 8 continues his winning streak of reMixes with a new version of Lamb’s track of last year, ‘Butterfly Effect’. The Belfast based producer does something completely different with the track and shows us how a reMix should be done.

If you’re not familiar with Lamb or the original track, Lamb are a left-field, post-Trip-Hop eclectic ElectroPop outfit who’s downtempo beats and atmospheric soundscapes make for excellent chill out listening. ‘Butterfly Effect’ is an almost ethereal slice of Sci-Fi ambiance with icy, distant vocals. Figure Of 8 obviously thought ‘you know what this needs? some retro SynthPop boogie!’, and made it so. The track now resides on dark dancefloors in seedy Soho clubs, driven by a pulsating vintage synth bass and razor sharp lead lines. There’s a few surprising thrown into the mix too, some dubby echo, some great, frantic percussion and the occasional Acid burbling. Figure Of 8 has kept the eclectic feel of a Lamb track, but made it able to rock a dancefloor too.

♫ Lamb – Butterfly Effect (Figure of 8 reMix)

‘Butterfly Effect’ is taken from Lamb’s ‘5’ album. Figure Of 8 drops his début EP on On The Fruit Records 13th February.

Eats Everything reMixes Javeon McCarthy

Javeon McCarthy

You all know how much I love bigging up Bristol talent, so this soundclash is something I have to talk about. Bristol based crooner Javeon McCarthy is dropping a new single through PMR, ‘Lost Time’, on the reMix is fellow Bristolian Eats Everything who gets deep with his warping bass.

The shuffling percussion and body shaking bass is total synthetic, hypnotic, enveloping groove. Deep and Techy, Dubby and totally involving. From the late ‘80’s House style 909 rimshot and snare patterns, to the big filtered synth sounds, Eats Everything’s dark mysterious mix is a surprising, but perfect fit for Javeon McCarthy’s soulful vocals.

♫ Javeon McCarthy – Lost Time (Eats Everything Rework)

‘Lost Time’ is released through PMR Records on 27th February

The Opiates’ ‘Silent Comes The Nighttime (Again)’ video

Here we have the recently premièred video for Billie Ray Martin and Robert Solheim’s The Opiates alter ego’s ‘Silent Comes The Nighttime (Again)’ .

The track is taken from the duo’s excellent ‘Hollywood Under The Knife’ album of last year. A collection of deep and soulful electronic laments that combined the beauty and passion of Billie’s voice with Solheim’s Deep House grooves. The track in question here is an ode to insomnia and both sonically, and in the video, visually manages to convey the nervous, sometimes otherworldly, tension of late night sleep deprivation. Jörn Hartmann directs the video, a dreamlike, monochrome clip with a slight uncomfortable edge.

The Opiates’ ‘Hollywood Cuts (The reMixes)’ is released 26th February on Disco Activisto.

Sneaky Sound System’s ‘Really Want To See You Again’ reMixes

SneakySoundSystem

Australian ElectroPop duo Sneaky Sound System must be feeling pretty pleased with themselves, they had an awesome 2011. they released their third album, ‘From Here To Anywhere’ to critical acclaim, which spawned a bunch of singles, most notably the massive ‘Big’ featuring that Oliver reMix.

They start the new year with a new single. Taken from the aforementioned album, ‘Really Want To See You Again’ get the single treatment which kicks off with an epic extended mix. This version really highlights the late ‘80’s/early ‘90’s DancePop influences on this track. Connie’s soulful and slightly gritty vocals switching from Pop Soul to House Diva effortlessly. The reMix package is pretty loaded too. Azari & III do their deep, mysterious, ‘90’s thing with the track. Cutting and pasting vocal snatches over their bass heavy Roland grooves and Sci-Fi synths. Pure deep Chicago House. Funkagenda bring us back into DiscoHouse territory adding wicked little guitar licks and a new male vocal as counterpoint to the original vocal and new heavy synth bassline. KiNK’s reMix is making some waves right now, I wouldn’t say it was my favourite of the mixes, but it’s definitely worthy of the attention, taking the track in an almost Techno direction with it’s droning synths and, er, cuckoo clock. This is the one that’ll blow up dancefloors in Europe.
