[Audio] Ben Macklin & Yota’s ‘Controller’

Cassette Club’s Ben Macklin’s solo effort with Stockholm born, France residing singer Yota (Lifelike/Zoo Brazil/DLG), Controller, is finally seeing release next month. We covered the track a while back, featuring Cassette Club’s own reMix of the tune. Now, with imminent release, we get to wrap our ears around the original version in all it’s glory.

An order more laid back and dreamy than the CC mix, Controller is a blissfully smooth slice of hushed soulful Disco. Pairing Macklin’s SynthPop inspired, but groovy as hell, electronics with Yota’s smokey vocals creates a duality that is transcended by the whole. Like a chilled Robot disco that’s been invaded by an ethereal, emotional presence, Controller tames it;s synthetic nature and delivers classy urban synth grooves.

♫ Ben Macklin & Yota – Controller

Ben Macklin & Yota’s Controller is released 4th March.

[Audio] Mirrors (no, not that one)

Let us introduce you to Mirrors. “But wait” you say, we already know Mirrors. Sorry, different Mirrors. This Mirrors hails from Glasgow and has a line in producing some seriously infectious House sounds that get stuck in your head and make your feet move. He’s about to release his début EP on Loungin Records to prove to the world that being able to think up an original artist name means nothing when it comes to dropping hypnotic beats.

Dip You is the kind of track you need to play again and again, once to hook has, well, hooked you in, you’ll be needing a constant fix. Taking a little from Chicago warehouses and a little from The Summer Of Love, Mirrors’ Dip You delivers a big classic House sound with a upbeat UK edge. Almost timeless in it’s sound, it’s just a pure party starter and one to get lost in on the dancefloor. The reMixes on the EP, coming from LPZ, C.O.N.E. and Wrongton & Deemas J are a bit weak in all honestly, but the original mix is worth the admission price alone.

♫ Mirrors – Dip You

Mirrors’ Dip You is released 18th March on 12”, followed by a digital release 1st April.

[MP3] FM Attack and Rogue Vogue reMix French Horn Rebellion

Two piping hot reMixes of French Horn Rebellion forthcoming new single Girls, featuring JD Samson, from Le Tigre& MEN, and rapper Fat Tony. We covered the track a few days ago, a massive party starter, and now we get to get our ears around versions from SynthWave legend FM Attack and House producer Rogue Vogue.

FM Attack’s mix is the proverbial bomb, a real funky synthesizer workout. Whipping up an Italo frenzy of vocal synthesis, robotic vocoding and chugging arpeggiated basslines, FM Attack delivers five minutes of android Boogie and one of our favourite tracks of the month. Rouge Vogue is more in the classic House vein. Deep, woody basslines and 909 beats dominate this reMix, dragging the track into a darkened Chicago warehouse for a night of hypnotic dancing. French Horn Rebellion have put together a slick reMix package for their new one. It drops in March.

♫ French Horn Rebellion – Girls (FM Attack reMix)

♫ French Horn Rebellion – Girls (Rogue Vogue reMix)

[Audio] Figure Of 8 reMixes Sophie Sparken

Here’s a new one from our Belfastian friend Figure Of 8 (if Belfastian isn’t a word it should be. That’s out gift to the people of Belfast, they can have that for free). this morning he dropped by the electronic rumors Inbox to deliver this deceptively complex remix of his friend, Northampton based Folk singer Sophie Sparken, and her tune Trouble.

Folk song may begin to grate with their acoustic guitar endlessness, but they make perfect fodder for intricate, spacey, electronic reMixes. And Sophie’s Trouble has a particularly nice, lilting vocal that seems almost dreamlike over Figure Of 8’s Acid tinged synths and and shuffling percussion. The beauty of this reMix is that is sounds really simple, really sparse, until you peel back the layers and find it’s meticulously crafted core. Making complexity sound effortless? That’s production! Figure Of 8’s continues his quest to deliver classy, and classic sounding, Dance tracks. Timeless and easy on the ears.

[MP3] Clancy’s ‘Sleepless Nights’

Clancy’s on a roll right now. This time last month he delivered the Chicago House jam, How To Hold On To You, which is still being played round these parts, and this month he’s dropping another free tune. Now well and truly on the House tip, Clancy bring it smooth House for Sleepless Nights, a dance tune for insomniacs.

Sleepless Nights has got that deep, soulful, House vibe that you associate with late nights, hot summers and soft focus early 90s videos. Lavish low bass and synths rub shoulders with a groovy electric piano and the vocal sample fading in and out of the track list a ghost. A true midnight tune, this one is for that magical point in the night when the world holds it;s breath and you loose yourself in the music.

[Audio] Yuksek reMixes C2C

Who’s up for another Yuksek reMix. Like the ambassadors tray loaded with Ferrero Rocher, Yuksek is spoiling us with practically a new reMix every week these days. Today’s subject is French turntablists C2C’s track Genius, which frankly is less scratch orchestra and more smooth Disco Funk featruing the vocals of Gush.

So smooth vocal Disco Funk is, of course, the prefect jumping off point for someone like Yuksek as he morphs the track into something typically French Pop Electro. The track rises and falls throughout it’s entirety as Yuksek brings you in and out of each section. A Morse code piano hook hammers away it’s message in the background while chunky synths and twisted vocal snatches flow through the tune. just when you think Yuksek has peaked it, he takes it higher. Classic Yuksek.

♫ C2C (Feat. Gush) – Genius (Yuksek reMix)

The reMix is out now, in Japan. Who knows when the rest of the world get’s it?

[MP3] Aimes’ new reMix EP

Brooklyn Chilly SynthPop artist Aimes is gearing up for the release of a new reMix collection. A release of reworking of tracks from his acclaimed Beautiful Decay EP of last year, Aimes has roped in the likes of Soft Lighting, Chaz Bronz, Beto Cravioto, Travmatic, Business Casual Disco, Rioux and Jules Schimmer and more for an eight track (which is more of an album really!) monster that spans numerous electronic styles and delivers something for everyone.

Standout tracks on the release, for us, include Jules Schimmers’ sumptuous 80’s take on Wake Me Up Before The Sun Goes Down. Schimmer gets his Pet Shop Boys on, heavy on the retro bass and cowbells, all wrapped up in swirling synth strings. The EP’s opener, a reMix of Somewhere In Space We Hang Suspended produced by Soft Lighting, sets the Cosmic mood for the rest of the EP, all pulsating synths in a reverb washed haze. For a more dancefloor oriented inclusion, you can look to Chaz Bronz whose deep Chicago House take on Oh My My has delayed organs and rimshots to place it right at home in a late 80’s warehouse party. The whole EP has everything you’d want, from Disco to Ambient, all wrapped up with Aimes’ Sci-Fi smoothness.
