Lightwaves & Channel Swimmer reMix Mausi

Mausi

Remember a few weeks ago we posted about the new single from Newcastle IndiePop act Mausi, ‘Sol.’? Well, not the reMixes have hit, and they’re pretty special.

Ex-Yes Giantess main man Jan’s, under his new Lightwaves moniker, turns in an unsurprisingly awesome ElectroPop mix aimed straight at the dancefloor. Loaded with perfect synth melodies playing against a House piano riff and some big room beats, this is the second dancefloor destroying mix Lightwaves has dropped in as many weeks, looks like it’s going to be his year.  UK producer Channel Swimmer takes the tracks in a totally different direction with some smooth Funk influenced Chillwavey, reverb washed, niceness that soon evolves into a laid back summer Indie hit.

‘Sol.’ is released 20th February.

New track from Fabian

fabian

Our boy Fabian has dropped a brand new track, and that’s always cause to take notice!

As we all know Mr. Ordorica is a man of many sides, the Montell Jordan sampling ‘Do It’ nicely Electrofies his Nu-Disco side and throws in a infectious. ‘90’s House hook. While not as hard as his noise Electro stuff, ‘Do It’ adds some stomping dancefloor fuel to his smoother synth side amongst some nice nostalgic jacking.

♫ Fabian – Do It

Fabian is also the musical mastermind behind LexiconDon, who feature on electronic rumors Volume 1. Just sayin’.

Ronika reMixed by Echoes

OK, so we don’t normally go in for the whole blog ‘exclusive’ bragging rights thing, we don’t see the point, very little on the internet stays exclusive for more than 30 seconds, and your ‘exclusive’ probably got leaked last week anyway. We always though it was about the music, not the blog. But we are amused by how much exclusivity there is crammed into this one post, so we’re going to mention it. Hypocrites much? What we have here is the première one of our favourite Indie tinged SynthPop acts, Echoes, reMixing our favourite Madonna Of The Midlands™, Ronika, topped of with a exclusive Ronika based display of retro sportswear from our favourite photographer, and snapper to the stars, Katja Ruge. Literally nothing about this post isn’t so fresh it’s still smoking.

Anyhoo, dazzling shininess of this post aside, what Echoes have turned in is a pretty stunning sunrise-beach-party take on Ronika’s ‘Only Only’. Part Balearic, part Progressive House, Echoes strip back the urban dancefloor urgency of the original (and it’s subsequent reMixes) and insured let Ron’s vocals swim about in a sea of chilled good vibes. Echoes have crafted a laid back and emotional slice of summery House with a classy piano line and let Ron’s vocals sit in just the right place in the mix, somewhere just in the distance, so the track washes over you.

♫ Ronika – Only Only (Echoes reMix)

Completely coincidentally, both Ronika and Echoes will be appearing on our electronic rumors volume 1 compilation, released 13th February, and both putting in an appearance at the launch party on the 10th February. Details here.

Ronika’s latest single ‘Only Only’/’In The City’ is out now and comes highly recommended.

Picture Book

Picture Book

Right, on first impression I wasn’t going to post about this track, it seemed a bit to much like Ibiza fluff for me, but my word it is catchy! It’s been stuck in my head to the extent when I have to write something.

Picture Book are are brothers Dario Darnell and Lorne Ashley and their track ‘Sunshine’ features vocals from Greta Svabo Bech, her of Deadmau5’ ‘Raise Your Weapon’ fame. It’s got a good chance of being a big summer hit, and once you get past the Ibiza fluffyness of it it’s actually a really complex song hidden underneath a ‘90’s Pop Dance track. Give it a second listen, you’ll see what I mean.

Plastic Plates’ new tune

Plastic Plates

Plastic Plates, fresh from his reMix of The Human League’s ‘Sky’ being placed in our 2011 Reader’s Choice Award, has dropped a new tune, packed full of Electro Boogie.

‘Toys’ is a really nice, epic seven minutes, of synthesizer disco with an ‘80’s Electro Funk bassline. It’s quite a trick to craft a seven minute track that doesn’t drag, but ‘Toys’ is all killer. Transcending any single dance music genre there is a big of House, a bit of Disco, a bit of B-Boy Electro and the whole thing is dancefloor gold. That bassline is so infectious, it will be with me all week.

Meridian reMix Dirty South & Thomas Gold

Dirty South & Thomas Gold

Meridian is back with a new reMix of Dirty South & Thomas Gold (Feat. Kate Elsworth)’s ‘Alive’.

The 22 year old Belgian producer turns in a massive big room mix of the track led by lush pads and piano that sits just right in the mix. With an undercurrent Balearic flowing beneath the big Disco sound the track takes on a peak time summer vibe. No doubt this bodes well for Meridian’s forthcoming single release.

♫ Dirty South & Thomas Gold (Feat. Kate Elsworth) – Alive (Meridian reMix)

Meridian’s new single ‘Mallorca’/’Breakdown’,is out 6th February on Paranoiak, Dirty South & Thomas Gold’s ‘Alive’ is out now.
