[Audio] Bastille’s ‘Things We Lost In The Fire’ reMixed by Ryan Riot

Switzerland’s finest purveyor of Nu-Disco and House, Ryan Riot continues on his quest to reMix the biggest Indie-Dance tracks of the moment by tackling the current single from London based ElectroPop outfit Bastille (who played an absolutely blinding set at Bestival this past weekend BTW!) and their ode to insurance claims, Things We Lost In The Fire.

Ryan’s reMix leans quite heavily in the direction of the big room. Taking the anthemic chorus from the original, Riot swamps the track in big synth riffs and an Italo rhythm section. Driving and uplifting, this tune works the vocals to create some awesome breakdowns and build to completely control the dancefloor. Ryan has been knocking it out of the park recently, and this huge tune is no different.

[Audio] MiGHty mOUse reMixes Decibels

Last week we presented the reMix of UK Electro-Art-Poppers Decibels’ Regulator/Moderator from Earl Grey, here’s the other inclusion, in a pretty stunning reMix package, that had us excited. It’s a version turned in by MiGHty mOUse. Standing out alongside work from Bufi, Tronik Youth, Discotexas head honcho Mr. Mitsuhirato and Earl Grey is no mean feat, but the mOUse gets cosmic freaky with this one. Prepare to go deep down the mOUse hole.

Setting things up in pretty eerie style, MiGHty mOUse goes for a slow build crafted from mysterious tones and spine-tingling synths before launching into a deep, hypnotic track that blurs the lines between Cosmic Disco, Nu-Disco and Deep House. Giving the vocals a House twist, the mOUse lawyers them over a thrumming bassline and warehouse beat peppered with Disco licks and galactic keys. An otherworldly slab of Boogie for you.

♫ Yasmine Hamdan – Deny (Holmes Price reMix)

[MP3] Holmes Price reMixes Yasmine Hamdan’s ‘Deny’

Bath’s finest House music export Holmes Price has left our sunny west of England for the capital to deliver his brand of late night grooves to London’s clubland. the latest of said grooves being this luxurious House jam reMix of Lebanese singer/songwriter and Middle Eastern Electronic Music pioneer Yasmine Hamdan, Deny.

Hamdan’s purely Arabic vocals lend an air of exotic mystery to these western ears, delivered with a smokey croon that weaves its way in, out and around, Price’s rich dancefloor tapestry. With just a hint of Disco picking in the background, this reMix actually has a bit of a laid back Italo vibe to it, right up to the big buzzing synths in the tracks finale. An opulent mosaic of sounds, from the abrasive to the smooth-as-hell, Price’s reMix has the capability to be a dancefloor chameleon, working in House, Torpical or Disco sets, bringing it’s enigmatic qualities with it.

[Video] Skream’s ‘Rollercoaster’

Here’s the video for Skream and Sam Frank’s suspiciously good Nu-Disco powerhouse Rollercoaster, which is still over a month away but already making waves.

Directed by Ian Robertson, the video is good, old fashioned, nihilistic fun. Party at the end of the world. It’s a mirrorball!

Skream’s Rollercoaster is released 27th October.

♫ Disclosure (Feat. Eliza Doolittle) – You & Me (Pat Lok ‘Homies Wear’ reMix)

[MP3] Pat Lok reMixes Disclosure & Eliza Doolittle’s ‘You & Me’

We got our hands on this one last week, and it serves us well on our travels this past weekend. It’s Canadian House & Disco master Pat Lok with his reMix of Disclosure and Eliza Doolittle’s hit You & Me, from Disclosure’s number one album Settle, and Man is it huge! This track;s right on point to dominate dancefloors int he coming months.

Deep, bassy, swept up with Rave leads, this reMix delivers a hedonistic cacophony of concentrated electronic sounds. Brutally ripping Doolittle’s vocal from the original, Lok pairs them with a growling, system destroying, beast whos subs hit you like a gut punch while you head is kept busy with layer upon layer of Rave stabs. Already getting support from some of the scenes biggest names, expect to hear a lot more from this one if you frequent the right clubs.

Disclosure’s Settle album is out now.

[Audio] Goldroom’s ‘Embrace’

Here it is! The new one from Dreamwave O.G., Beach party starter, and Disco sailor Goldroom. As usual this is a reason to prick up your ears as it’s always interesting to see what new styles Josh is going to pull from his bag of tricks. So in the interests of begging interesting, we’re going to briefly talk about this new record and we promise not to mention any kind of weather, not once!

Ariela Jacobs is the voice you will hear on Embrace, she’s a new name to us but the Australian songstress wins us over almost immediately with a warm, impassioned performance. Goldroom brings us a comforting symphony of stabbing synths, smokey pads and a House hook that does it’s job well (i.e. hooks you in). Peppering with synth zaps and drum rolls that seems to pull you with them, Josh, more than many of his contemporaries, really uses the array of electronic sounds at his disposal to create a truly emotional mood. True synthesizer artistry. Also, summer. Damnit!

[Video] Little Boots’ ‘Satellite’

Co-Directed by Victoria Hesketh herself & Sam Brown and was filmed inside The Blackpool Tower in Boots’ hometown.

[Audio] Fear Of Tigers’ ‘Liquid Gold’

This one a short sharp shock if blissful dance music. Liquid Gold is the new one from Fear Of Tigers, a little taster of what to expect from his forthcoming sophomore album, Hypnerotomachia Poliphiliout. Mr. Tigers has dropped a few new track lately, but we think this is the first one definitely confirmed to be appearing on the new record. It bodes well.

Liquid Gold is piano driven classic dance music. Drawing from many different eras of dancefloor smashes. Loaded with tropes from both the worlds of Pop and dance, including horn blasts, whooping Acid stabs, slick Disco guitar and big room synths that just build and build. Couple all this with nice line in impassioned vocals and you’ve got a track that has us very excited for the album to rear it’s head.

♫ Fear Of Tigers – Liquid Gold

Fear Of Tigers’ second album is due out soon.
