[MP3] Moonlight Matters remixes Goose

We first featured Belgian Electro-Rockers Goose back in 2010. Now we have an excuse to again as fellow Belgian producer, and one of our favourite artists of recent years Moonlight Matters has reMixes their new single, Real.

Working with something other than your usual dance track has given Moonlight Matters free reign to try something a bit different. Anyone expecting Seba’s usual early 90s Pop-House anthem might be disappointed, but come to the track with an open mind and you’ll be delivered a satisfying, involving tune. A majestic slab of synthesizer Pop with a militaristic feel, it’s a reMix that commands your attention with trumpeting stabs and rolling beats that serve the call-to-arms vocals perfectly. Industrial Disco anyone?

♫ Goose – Real (Moonlight Matters reMix)

Goose’s new album, Control Control Control, is released 14th April.

[MP3] Clancy’s ‘All Just In My Mind’

Premiering on The Magician’s Magic Tape 31 this month Clancy, All Just In My Mind is the latest n what seems like is becoming a monthly event. Which is pretty awesome, we’re starting to look forward to the end of the month when Clancy delivers the Deep House goods. Of course, now we’ve said that we’ve jinxed it. There’ll be no new track next month..or will there? No pressure Rich.

OK, hands up who remembers Clancy when he was the UK’s big Dreamwave hope? Now his transition to the dark side is complete (the dark side being slick Chicago House BTW). And we couldn’t be happier with the transition, Rich is a master at what he does and with All Just In My Mind he brings these two big fat and funky basslines that intertwine with each other to produce the most amazing, driving, groove, over which is laid a hypnotic vocal sample and a dreamlike breakdown. There’s not a sniff of Disco here, Clancy’s looking forward, not back.

[Audio] Little Boots’ ‘Broken Record’

This week ElectroPop goddess (yup, she’s been promoted) Little Boots released her new single, and second post-album-announcement taste of what we can expect from her new long player, Nocturnes. Broken Record once again give is a hint that the new album is going to be full of surprises. Free from major labels and expectation, this feels like a more comfortable Victoria, just a Pop but free to explore what that means to her.

With DFA founder Mr. Tim Goldsworthy at the helm for most of the new album, with contributions from Simian Mobile Disco’s James Ford and Hercules And Love Affair’s Andy Butler, the new record promises to be more of an introspective, experimental affair. Broken Record is a bewitching slice of deep, Housey, ElectroPop. With it’s throbbing bassline and swirling mist of synths, cut through with Victoria’s vocal, this time portraying a sense of urgency, Broken Record delivers the prefect four minutes of danceable DreamPop, then goes a bit Acid.

♫ Little Boots – Broken Record

Broken Record is out now. Little Boots’ Nocturnes is released 7th May.

[MP3] Pat Lok’s ‘Crazy Juice’

“I made some not disco” Canadian, er, Disco, producer Pat Lok exclaimed on Twitter yesterday evening. Well, for a start he wasn’t lying, and it’s awesome to see producers playing fast and loose with genres. Many artists produce their best work when experimenting and branching out, and let’s face it Nu-Disco is getting a bit repetitive, it’s no wonder the more creative on the scene want to spread their musical wings.

So where does that leave Pat, the track Crazy Juice is a brooding Chicago House/early 90s Rave crossover that keeps Lok’s funk, but channels it toward a darkened warehouse. Loaded with shuffling 909 beats and a big warping bassline, Crazy Juice brings the kind of strobe light vibe that takes us back to our youth. One for a full-on night out.

[Audio] Tesla Boy’s ‘1991’

Russian crew Tesla Boy are easily one of the best ElectroPop acts around today. Since their emergence in 2008 with a demo EP on their MySpace site they have been champions of a retro 80s sound. With overtones of Disco, Indie and SynthWave, these guys have always kept it 80s. Until now. their new single, cunningly titled 1991, is loaded with early 90s musical references. A new direction for Tesla Boy, or a one-off? Only time will tell.

1991 is all Hip Hop beats, samples vocal snatches and a Pop House vibe, and ‘y’know what? It works. Mainly due to Tesla Boy’s talent, these guys are master songwriters and performers, it’s not surprise that when they break their meld they can still deliver the goods. With their interpretation of the Soul II Soul Back To Life beat and big House synths, Tesla Boy still manage to sound like Tesla Boy and deliver an optimistic song that probably mirrors a new found sense of optimism in Russia in 1991 with the birth of the Russian Federation. The reMix line-up for the single it pretty impressive too. Portuguese Disco guru Xinobi takes his time with the track and delivers a smooth, slick Disco-House rework before dropping in some sumptuous Dub grooves and making thoroughly intoxicating summer dance track. Fellow Russians 7he Myriads go with a live sounding vibe and put the 80s back into Tesla Boy, while Fon.Leman turns-in a complex big room tune with hints of Disco and Progressive House in it’s massive euphoric sound and some hands-in-the-air Trance overtones. Along side these three sit further remixes from Tonefiction, DZA and SoundSam in a stunning, recommended, reMix package.

[Audio] Sharooz’s ‘90907’

90907 is the new tune from London TurboFunk master Sharooz. The man has gone completely hardware based on this one. Rocking up with a Roland TR909, Roland TR707, Roland SH101, Roland Juno 106, Yamaha DX7 and Teenage Engineering OP-1 this one has no softsynths, no plugins, and is completely analog (well, except for the DX7 and OP-1). We love it when people break out the big guns.

What this result in is a grinding slab of Acid Funk. 90907 powers through with a grimy, hypnotic, tweaked bassline and abrasive drums. With just that right mix of infectiously danceable and slightly haunting (in that was that the best classic Acid tracks always are), Sharooz has hit the nail on the head here. It’s one of those tracks to get lost under the flashing lights to.

[Audio] Adeyhawke’s ‘Storm Runner’

It’s been a while, but Irish SynthWave/Dreamwave/Nu-Disco dude Adeyhawke is back and fighting fit. As the producer jumps back into our consciousness he hits the ground running with his latest tune, Storm Runner. It’s a huge tune, and exciting tune, a tune that definitely makes us remember what we’ve been missing. And, hopefully, a tune that signals a resurgence of Adeyhawke activity.

Storm Runner is a beast of many faces. Blending the epic quality of SynthWave, the groove of Nu-Disco and the infectious hook of Indie-Electro, Adeyhawke serves up a smörgåsbord of gritty powerful hooks and sparking synth riffs. It’s got a cool retro feel, especially in some of the soaring solos, but a very contemporary production style, bringing all these emotionally resonant electronic music styles into the big room for thousand-yard-stare dance-off. We really can’t stop listening to this one.
