[Audio] Ben Mono’s ‘No Lights’

 

Ben Mono

Dance music renaissance man Ben Mono is never one to sty away from mixing up styles and flipping from one genre to another. We’ve seen him churn out Electro-House, Nu-Disco, Boogie, 90s House, at times mashing up one or more flavours. His latest single, No Lights, does exactly that. Bringing together a little Deep House and a little UK Garage he’s delivered another floorfiller.

Riding the wave of shuffling Garage-esque beats, this rumbling House track lays down everything you need to work up a sweat. the bassline alone is worth the admission price, a hollow sine affair that is both robotic and soulful. Add to this a rolling vocal sample and lush, rising, synths and you got a tune that transcends genres and lives on the dancefloor.

♫ Ben Mono – No Lights (Original Mix)

Ben Mono’s No Lights is released 14th October.

[Audio] Baio’s ‘Mira’

 

Baio

After a couple of critically acclaimed EP’s (one on Greco-Roman, the other self released) Vampire Weekend bassist Chris Baio’s House flavoured solo offerings, under the moniker Baio, move to Future Classic for the release of his new EP, Mira. The track has bee teased for a while now, but it’s finally been unleashed in all it’s glory. Check it out.

Subtly and confident in it;s own abilities, Mira eschews flashy tricks or cheesy hooks from a revolving, hypnotic groove and clever arrangement. Vocal snatches pepper the tune, riding alongside metallic stabs over a subby, grumbling bassline. Clocking in at six minutes, the track takes it time and methodically lays down new elements throughout, sometime sounding Deep House, sometimes classic 90s, sometimes more abstract Electronica but with a cohesive, mesmerizing, vibe that really draws you in.

♫ Baio – Mira

Baio’s Mira is released 28th October.

[MP3] Awkoder’s ‘Ho.Ho.Ho!’

 

Awkoder

The latest tune from French SynthWaver Awkoder sees the talented producer moving in a slightly Houseier direction. Trading his usually moody and atmospheric retro synth tunes for a gloriously nostalgic slice of Chicago House with Tropical overtone, Awkoder sets his sights of claiming the very last of the good weather in 2013. Even if skies are getting greyer, Ho.Ho.Ho! (despite sounding X-massy) will keep the summer vibes going.

If your in the market for some upbeat synth stabs and early 90s vocal sampling with your Island purcussion on full-on House beats, then you’ve come to exactly the right place. Awkoder had captured the excitement of dance music int he late 80s and early 90s and bottled in in his new track. Of course there is a totally addictive piano hook in tow, like the icing on the House cake. It’s hard not to smile at Ho.Ho.Ho!, and even harder not to dance.

[MP3] L’Etranger’s ‘Mersey Mersey Me’ club mix.

 

L'Etranger

Out soon on London’s La Bombe label is the new release from Ben Thomas A.K.A. L’Etranger. It a collection of reMixes of tracks from his 1997 EP of earlier this year. 1997 was jammed packed with chilled soulful Disco and storming Turbo Funk playing off against each other, and from the sound of this free download of one of the reMixes of the track Mersey Mersey Me we could be in for some seriously Housed up versions.

Whereas the original was laid back hazy soul, this Club Mix, by L’Etranger himself, is a hypnotic slo-mo House juggernaut. Channelling the original’s soul into deeper, moodier places, L’Etranger works up the perfect warehouse groove with throbbing sine basslines and layers of subtly, yet complex, purcussion. If this is any indication of what the rest of the remix EP holds, then we could be in for a treat.

[Audio] Monsieur Adi reMixes Two Door Cinema Club’s ‘Changing Of The Seasons’

 

two-door-cinema-club

I’m really not sure if Monsieur Adi sleeps. The man had been busy as hell in the run up to the release of his soon-to-be massive hit What’s Going On? with A*M*E. Only this week the shiny new video for the single was released, but Adi still has time to knock out stunning reMix after stunning reMix. The latest being for the Madeon produced new single from Kitsuné IndiePoppers Two Door Cinema Club, Changing Of The Seasons.

Adi turns-in a spot-on version of the track, hitting the right point between laid back and dancefloor worthy, Adi, works a chilled Disco vibe, laden with thick synth bass and his wonderful strings, which is an step apart from the big room backing of the original, but somehow weaves it’s way into the song and makes it Adi’s own. The vocals seem to fit themselves around this new vibe, rising and falling with the mood of the track. It’s almost unbelievable that in his entire career Adi has never failed to impress, and he;s only just starting to blow up. We wish him the best of luck.
