Mustang & Clubfeet reMix Crystal Fighters

crystalfighters

Crystal Fighters new single ‘Champion Sound’ come complete with a whole host of top reMixes.

Out next month on Different the highlights of the reMix package come from Mustang and Clubfeet. Both artists take the left-field ElectroPop of the Fighters and make it their own. Mustang give us something a little different from their norm with a big deep, pretty dark, analog groove fest that pulsates through your brain. Clubfeet provide the popiest of the reMixes with a summery Indie-Electro feel build upon layers of smooth synths and turns the vocal track into a lazy poolside sing-a-long.

♫ Crystal Fighters – Champion Sound (Mustang reMix)

♫ Crystal Fighters – Champion Sound (Clubfeet Resleeve reMix)

‘Champion Sound’ is released October 10th.

May68’s new single

may68

May68 have just announced their new single, ‘White Lies’.

Part retro SynthPop, part Tropical, ‘White Lies’ is a strangely schizophrenic beast. The jangly IndiePop of many of their former Kitsuné label mates sits alongside bouncy analog synth bass and occasionally the track feels like it looses focus. This doesn’t stop it, however, from being a totally catchy tune that is sure to fire up Indie-Dance discos across the UK.

♫ May68 – White Lies

‘White Lies’ is released 17th October on Black Duck Records.

The Juan MacLean’s new tune

juan-maclean

‘Everybody Get Close’ is the new tune from DFA jack-of-all-trades The Juan MacLean.

It’s the title track from his forthcoming new record, due out November 6th, which collects various bits and pieces from the last few years of his career. ‘Everybody Get Close’ is an analog Disco workout, all vocoders and sweeping synths. With one foot heavily in Moog Funk this track feels like old school The Juan MacLean and that raw New York Disco DFA sound.

♫ The Juan MacLean – Everybody Get Close

‘Everybody Get Close’ is available on digital only release from November 6th.

Cavaliers Of Fun’s new EP

Cavaliers Of Fun

It’s been a long time coming, but Ricco Vitali A.K.A., Cavaliers Of Fun, finally drops his first EP for ‘the ever-awesome Holographic People’ today.

When you see an EP title like ‘Sharing Space Secrets’ you know you’re in for a treat. The EP sees Vitali mixing up a number of cool, good weather styles in one big melting pot. There are hints of Electro-Indie, snatches of LA Dreamwave, a Nu-Disco groove, bits of Tropical and Balearic vibes, but overall I was quite surprised. I was expecting the kind of vintage synthed cosmic Disco I had come to expect from Cavalier’s Of Fun, what you get in this EP, though, is something more intimate, more musical, more akin to clash between East Coast Indie and West Coast Disco. This new found blending of Vitali’s sweeping vocals, Sci-Fi synthesizers and lilting Indie guitar really works in these five tracks and makes the EP a Summer must. I’m going to be reaching for the ‘Sharing Space Secrets’ EP everytime the weather gets good. Here’s our pick of the EP.

♫ Cavaliers Of Fun – Summer Days

♫ Cavaliers Of Fun – Sharing Space Secrets

Starlings reMixed by The Sanfernando Sound

starlings

Whoa! Manchester SynthWave producer The Sanfernando Sound gets positively EBM on his new reMix for Indie foursome Starlings.

His reMix of their new single ‘Dark Arts’ is an electronic powerhouse of the kind normally found blowing up dark German basement clubs. Layer upon layer of minor key arpeggios instil a sense of dancefloor doom with relentless drums an bass. What elevates this over the usual post-FuturePop EBM stuff is The Sanfernando Sound’s ear for the trappings of a quality Pop song. The big electro tom rolls, the occasional drops, and the flawless integration with the original vocals, it’s this attention to detail that make TSS’s production such a success. This is a dark and dangerous dancefloor monster.

♫ Starlings – Dark Arts (The Sanfernando Sound reMix)

‘Dark Arts’ is released 10th October on Civil Music.

Alex Metric Vs. The Whip

thewhip

I have always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with The Whip, a times I find them to be pure Indie-Electro dancefloor genius who perfectly capture of the catchy Pop song with their own edge, at other times I find them lazy, uninspired and mediocre. I’m still excited to hear the forthcoming album though, hopefully it will fall into the former category.

In the meantime, here’s a reMix of the track ‘Secret Weapon’ by one of the best Electro producers, not just in the UK, but in the World Alex Metric. Metric completely works this mix taking the best elements of The Whip and morphs them into a peak time, hands-in-the-air, three minutes of amazingness.

♫ The Whip – Secret Weapon (Alex Metric reMix)

The Whip’s Jagz Krooner produced new album, ‘Wired Together’, is released 19th September on Southern Fried Records.

M83 reMixed by Big Black Delta

m83

I feel like there’s going to be a flood of reMixes of M83’s awesome ‘Midnight City’, which can only be a good thing as the cream will rise to the top…hopefully.

Here’s one of the first, an official reMix by Big Black Delta. Abrasive and almost Industrial at times, BBD manage to keep some of the catchy elements of the original in the for a unique and raw reMix.
