[Audio] Skream’s ‘Rollercoaster’

London producer Skream continues his decent (or ascent?) into Disco and House, much to the chagrin of his hardcore Dubstep fan-base, and much to the debasement of the Nu-Disco crowd. But here’s the thing…he’s actually really good at it. This is evidenced by his forthcoming new single, Rollercoaster, a collaboration with fellow Londoner Sam Frank.

Rollercoaster is such a luscious slice of LA Synth Funk that it’s hard not to love it. Chirpy little synth riffs, wicked licks and a thumping bassline, all wrapped up with a vintage sheen and Frank’s smooth vocals, what more could you ask for in a poolside tune? How about some twisted talkbox action? You got it. Even the waiting guitar solo seems to work when paired with some Zapp & Roger style synth work. Don;t worry about who’s producing it, just enjoy.

♫ Skream (Feat. Sam Frank) – Rollercoaster

Skream’s Rollercoaster is released 27th October.

[Audio] Little Boots’ ‘Satellite’ reMixed by Urulu

We’ve been surprisingly un-inundated with entries in Little Boots’ ‘Satellite reMix completion. We would have expected an inbox full of entries vying for exposure, still early days yet. Meanwhile, in the real world, the Satellite single is due out early next month and this official reMix from pan-Atlantic producer Urulu sits alongside the already heard, and awesome, Lindstrøm mix.

Urulu reworks the tune into a Funky House groover that has the jazzy swing and shuffling beats of a mid-90s Dance track. Drawing from a different chunk of the 90s than is currently fashionable, Urulu brings something new, or old, to the table. Dropping space snatches of Boots’ vocals and whipping up a cosmic atmosphere pinned down by an undulating funky bassline. Summer funk ahoy!

[Audio] Joe Goddard reMixes Bondax’s ‘Giving It All’

There’s some of the sweetest summer sounds you’ll hear all week right here with the latest reMix from Hot Chip and The 2 Bears’ Joe Goddard. His turned his attention to the forthcoming new single from Lancastrian duo Bondax, Giving It All. The result is pure bliss, so sit back, shades on, enjoy.

Goddard serves up a delicious medley of ringing synths, deep basses and a feel-good, yet rich, groove that stands out amongst the single other reMixes from Friend Within and French Kiwi Juice. Revelling in the track’s soulful vocals, Goddard wraps them in an almost Balearic House tune that takes a UK club sound and makes it emotionally resonant and uplifting. Everything about this reMix is just so good.

[MP3] Paulie’s ‘Want You’ reMixed by Monday Club

We’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of sometime Cosmonaut and deep Disco producer Paulie’s new single, Want You, since last month and with Mondays imminent release we can wrap our ear holes around one of the reMixes, a luxurious boom-filled warehouse mix from enigmatic London producer Monday Club.

Monday Club really lets himself go on this mix. Starting life as a Chicago-esque jam, with almost Bleep House-like overtones the track swiftly evolves into a glorious, epic, collision of Deep House grooves, Cosmic Disco retro-futurism and Euphoric Trance, well, euphoria. You might think that sounds like a mess, but check out the reMix, it’s tight as hell and a dancefloor oddessy with a true musical narrative. Ass kicking bass too!

[Audio] Le Youth reMixes Foxes’ ‘Youth’

As we reported last week, one of ElectroPop songstress Foxes’ first tunes, Youth, is getting re-released, and as we can expect, it’s going to come with a loaded reMix package in a couple of months time. Included in that package is this slightly weird, but very cool, reMix from LA Disco producer Le Youth.

Le Youth pitched down the vocals, but not in a Chicago House way, in a was that oddly fits with what he’s done musically. Chopping and cutting the vocals over a deep Disco groove, Le Youth spins the track around with popping purcussion, sharp retro synths and an R&B swing. This is your new soundtrack for good times with good friends, even if the pitched down vocals are a tad unsettling at times.

Foxes’ Youth is released 6th October.

[Audio] Tiger & Woods reMix frYars’ ‘Cool Like Me’

How much more can we write about London based ElectroPopper frYars’ sweet new single Cool Like Me? The tune’s been on rotation pretty heavily around these parts for the past month, what more is there to say? Well, now that it’s been reMixes by enigmatic US Disco duo Tiger & Woods I guess we can write a little more.

Grooving along the thin line between the funkier end of House and mirrorball vibing Nu-Disco, the secretive Tiger & Woods really let themselves go to town over the course of this nine minute epic. resting on an irresistible bassline, the reMix gets a little free-form over the top, rocking cut-up vocals, rough piano hook and a left-field arrangement to deliver a track that slowly sucks you in, and onto the dancefloor.

[Audio] Gold Fields reMix Empire Of the Sun’s ‘Alive’

Fresh from their sterling work on Chela’s Romanticise, Australian Indie-Electro outfit Gold Fields have turned their attention to Empire Of the Sun’s recent comeback single Alive, to give an already euphoric tune a bouncy, sunkissed, House going over.

Ready for lazy summer days and afternoons by the Pool, Gold Fields version of the tune adds lush synths and big filter sweeps to the mix. Playing around with the vocals a little, this mix slinks along in a laid back, synth bliss, fashion until the mid-way point when some seriously slick jazzy muted trumpet gets added to the mix, playing out the rest of the track in style and giving it a Balearic flavour.
