[Audio] The Other Tribe’s ‘My Girl’

Earlier this month we presented you with Your Kisses, the exclusive pre-order track that accompanies Bristolian Tropical/House/Indie-Electro mashup crew The Other Tribe’s forthcoming new single, My Girl. Now here’s the headlining tune itself, released later this summer it;s set to take the tail end of the festival season by storm.

Encompassing The Other Tribe’s now familiar melting pot of House beats, tribal purcussion, Tropical vibes and sunshine optimism, My Girl is another summer stormer from this five piece. Working just as well as a Deep House track headed straight for the dancefloor as it does an Indie anthem, commanding a euphoric sing-a-log crowd experience, the new single combines woody House basslines with burbling synths and a soaring vocal. Truly one of the finest Indie-Electro outfits in the UK right now.

The Other Tribe’s My Girl is out 8th September.

[MP3] M83 reMixed by Freak You

Brining some old school Bronx beats to your ears right now is French producer and On The Fruit Records godfather Freak You with his officially sanctioned reMix of French Electro-Indie superstar M83’s single Steve McQueen.

Kicking off like an early 80s right on the New York subway, Freak You drops guitar stabs amidst B-boy beats and swirling vocals, easing you into the groove with Sci-Fi synths and rapid clap rolls. Bringing to mind the best experimental period of Electro’s history, Freak Yuo works the Breakin; vibe until he;s ready to get all Juan Aitinks on out asses with a solid House beat and Chicago bassline. This hybrid of Chicago House and New York Electro is exactly the same kind of thing Aitkins was doing with Cybotron, and creating Techno. Freak You brings a similar vibe whilst keeping it soulful.

[MP3] Walter Sobcek’s ‘Milkshake D’Amour’

I think by now we can pretty much assume the Walter Sobcek duo have got a thing for milkshakes, of the romantic kind. The pan-Atlantic duo have been a bit quite in recent months in regard to new tunes, but have released a string of awesome mixtapes, including the Milkshake De Love tape back in February. Which is stunningly similar to the title of their new single, Milkshake D’Amour.

Walter Sobcek have never given up the Dreamwave dream, and this new single just cements their reputation as Dreamwave staples. Floating along on an infectious Italo bassline and wicked Disco licks, the tune weaves an audio tapestry of electric piano, siren synths and breezy beach tones. Add some hushed, passionate and typically Sobcek vocals into the mix and you’ve got a poolside funk tune to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with anything from LA.

[Audio] Soft Metals’ ‘In The Air’

Here’s the second single from Portland Minimal Synth Robo-Pop duo Soft Metals’ forthcoming sophomore album, Lenses. We had a taste of what’s to come back in May with the first release, Tell Me, now this new track, In The Air, has us even more eagerly awaiting the new record.

With Glaswegian Electro master JD Twitch providing hypnotic warehouse drum programming ion this one, In The Air nicely mixes up ethereal DreamPop with a gritty Acid House groove. With futuristic pulsating Acid bass and retro, clap laden, House beats In the Air has a dark, strobe lit, quality to it that is tempered only by Patricia’s haunting siren song. Lenses is definitely shaping up to be one of the albums of the year.

[MP3] Shine 2009 reMixed by CFCF

With a sweet 90s Indie Dance vibe, here comes the CFCF reMix of Shine 2009’s Eurozone. The Montreal-based producer channels his inner Madchester and makes us want to don baggy jeans and floppy hair. Which we aren’t actually going to do by the way, for numerous reasons.

You can’t help but want to nod along to the shuffling Indie Dance beat, it’s pure mid-90s vibes around here. The chugging synths, electric piano, Happy Mondays beats and jazzy baseline all work perfectly with the originals vocals to deliver the finest pub-backroom-Indie-club experience.

♫ Shine 2009 – Eurozone (CFCF reMix)

Eurozone is taken from Shine 2009’s second album, Our Nation, released later in the year on Cascine.

[Audio] Rüfüs’ ‘Desert Night’

Desert Night is the second single from Australian Indie-ElectroPoppers Rüfüs’ forthcoming new album, Atlas. A bit of a divergence from the big ElectroPop and Dreamwave tinged tunes we are used to from Rüfüs, Desert Night bring something a little richer.

With a Deep House backing, Desert Night delivers woody Chicago basslines and piercing synths to accompany a gentle croon. Combining the ElectroPop and the 90s House vibes makes for an interesting combination that definitely has us eager to hear what the album holds. When the single drops it will be backed by reMixes from Jesse Rose, Motez, James Curd, Avon Stringer and Victor Lassance.
