[MP3] Punks Jump Up reMix Two Door Cinema Club

There’s a lot of reMixes on the new single from IndiePoppers Two Door Cinema Club’s new single, Sun. Some big names too, Fred Falke, Alex Metrix, Gildas, Logo and Gigamesh have all contributed their versions of the track, but one of the standout’s we’ve heard so far comes from London’s Punks Jump Up, and it’s a free download too!

Punks Jump up deliver a classic Electro mix, the kind that makes you remember why Kitsuné have released so much of their output. It’s a driving tune, heavy on the bass with intricate percussion that works multiple infectious riffs into the track, weaving in and out of Alex Trimble’s vocal. But ultimately it’s a fun track. Bouncy and very hard to resist, Punks Jump Up deliver another storming dancefloor monster right here. We’re definitely looking forward to what they have in store for 2013.

[Audio] MNDR reMixed by RAC

The awesome MNDR’s current single, Feed Me Diamonds, from the amazing album of the same name has has a radical going over from RAC. The collective have completely stripped down the track and rebuilt it in a funky new form.

André Allen Anjos took up the RAC reigns for this one, removing all the quirky ElectroPop and replacing it with a solid Disco groove that rests on a piano hook and popping groovy bassline. And for such a departure from the original it really works. There’s a nice hint of plucked strings from the original in the chorus that adds a kind of dancefloor drama in this context. This is what a reMix should be, completely different from the original but just as good.

[Audio] Ryan Riot reMixes Passion Pit

Swiss Dreamwaver Ryan Riot is topping of his year with this classy reMix of Passion Pit’s Carried Away. As the reMix contest for this track draws to a close we’re sure to be inundated with version of this tune for the next couple of weeks. Damn reMix competitions. Still, Ryan is onto a winner here as he injects the track with a playful Disco groove.

Keeping the structure of the track intact, Ryan gets funky with it and has a good time with a popcorn riff and pounding, infectious, bass hook. the track perfectly the captures the spirit of Passion Pit, that summery Indie goodness, but drags it kicking and screaming onto the dancefloor. Surely this track is a winner, we can’t imaging a more fitting Passion Pit reMix than this, this is how all Passion Pit reMixes should sound.

[Audio] The C90s’ new track

We’ve Got Love is the new track from London Disco duo The C90s. We’ve been pretty eagerly awaiting some new material from these two for a while, recently their efforts have been concentrated on mixtapes and some storing DJ spots, but Danny and Jamie are now back with this infectious slice of Indie-Disco.

With a strong New York Disco/DFA groove, We’ve Got Love is their first original track since 2010’s Shine A Light (although both Danny and Jamie have produced as other projects, most recently Earl Grey for Danny) and shows that they haven’t been wasting their time. Honing their skills and sliding toward a smooth sound that is part Disco, part introspective Indie with heaps of retro cool. The beats in this track are almost B-boy and give tune a solid base for a pulsating bass, magical synths and a hushed vocal, all intersected by a funky Superstitious lead line. We’d definitely like to hear more like this please.

[MP3] Mau’s ‘Cheetah’

Here’s the new track from Portuguese DreamPop outfit Mau. We last was Mau reMixing Leitbur’s Think Of Tomorrow and have been eager to hear more from this Indie-Electro five piece and they haven’t disappointed, releasing four minutes of dreamy ElectroPop goodness.

Cheetah is a rich soundscape of swirling synths and hazy vocals. A shuffling beat and haunting chords dance around the track intersected by spikey synth riffs creating an atmosphere if machine-like beauty whist an impassioned voice laments in the distance. Part Chillwave, part Dreamwave, part ElectroPop, Mau deliver top quality synthetic dreams.

[MP3] French Horn Rebellion reMix Harts

Australian Indie-rocker Harts sure knows how to pick his reMixers. First he has the amazing Diamond Cut reMix his début single, all Too Real, now he’s got French Horn Rebellion on the case. Apparently Harts stepped in as drummer for FHR when they played down-under, so when it came tome for Harts reMixes, FHR were an obvious choice.

French Horn Rebellion drop a pumping Indie-Disco version of All Too Real, keeping much of the guitary feel of the track, but bestowing it with an added infectious Disco groove. The bassline stomps it’s way toward your heart like humming mind-control leaving tons of room for the rest of the track to a breezily lay down it’s fun summer grooves and Disco hooks.

[Audio] Pinemarten’s new single

Falling For You is the forthcoming new single from Derbyshire’s finest Pinemarten. It’s been a few months since his I Can See EP but that’s not time wasted. Falling For You, and it’s B-side Built For Two, were recorded between September and November this year and have a particular autumnal feel.

It’s a track that features some of the sweetest synth solos we’ve heard in a while. While Falling For You’s core is a spacious, Funk fuelled, hazy soundscape, loaded with soulful drums, punchy digital bass, and reverb washed vocals, it;s when those solos kick in that the song is taken to the next level. Truly soaring stuff. The single is due for release later this month backed with two reMixes.

[Video] Dragonette’s ‘Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message)’

Here’s the video for Canadian Indie-Electro crew Dragonette’s raucous X-Mas single, Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message).

It’s a bit cheeky using a lyric video (which no-one really likes) as an official video, a bit cheap too, but it is nicely animated. Just a bit disappointing that Dragonette couldn’t make the effort, and the label didn’t have the faith in them to spend the money, to make a proper videos. It is fun, for what it’s worth, we just hate lyric videos.
