Ben Mono & Idiotronic reMixed by Justin Faust and Housquare

Ben Mono & Idiotronic

Ben Mono & Idiotronic’s 1992 EP was released earlier this year. A deep ‘90’s influenced club track. Deep is a bit of an understatement really, the bass, the vocals, everything was such a low down groove. The EP is getting a reMix release next week with work from Rambla Boys, Voxels, Krmpck and these two gems from Justin Faust and Housquare.

Both mixed take things back to the ‘90’s, but in different styles. Faust plays on the deep Chicago vibe and brings it up to date slightly. A hypnotic hook dominates the track, and dominates your consciousness while it’s playing. You can help but move to this track, there’s something infectious about it that just demands, at the very least, a head nod. Housquare take a big ‘90’s post-Rave House track, all staccato riffs, vocal snatches and 909 snare rolls. This is pure nostalgia, and I’ll admit, puts a smile on my face. There’s just something about those sounds, and those techniques, that take me back.

Final DJs début single

finaldjs

Well it’s finally here. Germany’s purveyors of the finest in dreamy SynthWave Final DJs release their début single for On The Fruit Records today. It’s been a long road tog et here which has seen this duo dropping originals and reMixes taking in everything from cinematic Dreamwave to bass funkin’ Nu-Disco. It seemed to take them a while to settle on a sound of their own, but with this premiere release they lay down their musical manifesto. You better listen up.

‘Gossip Country’ contains three originals and two reMixes, the title track is an epic excursion through synthetic melodies. Kicking off with a machine bassline with a Industrial feel, which isn’t as harsh as it sounds and makes for a nice hypnotic, undulating, backing for the lush, rich pads and some of Final DJs greatest solos and lead lines to date. There even a little ‘90’s House vibe in the mix too just to offset the overwhelming 80’s-ness of the leads. Final DJs have crafted some real goosebumps moments in ‘Gossip Country’ and, whilst keeping the SynthWave sound have taken it one step further and taken Outrun Electro one step further toward being accepted by the mainstream. Flipside number one, ‘Salt On Our Skin’ is more of a funkier affair, but in an funky Italo way rather than a Nu-Disco vein with it’s bouncy digital bass being impossible not to move to. Again these producer double act hit just the right note with their soaring synth work. The remaining B-Side, ‘A Long Way Home’ is a more traditional dance affair with a lot more of the 90’s vibes. reMixes come from Sebastian Scotch who drops a deep Housey Disco track and Justin Faust who reworks ‘Gossip Country’, adding a bit more of a syncopated groove and a classy Disco sheen. Faust keeps a lot  of what makes the track so good in place, just tweaking things here and there, making the song ready for prime time.

Justin Faust reMixes Picture Book

Picture Book

This has been floating around for a while now, it’s been playlisted here a lot so I have no excuse as to why we haven’t posted it before. We featured the original of Picture Book and Greta Svabo Bech’s ‘Sunshine’ a while back but just never got round to pimping the awesome Justin Faust reMix.

Well, the man has just posted it to his SoundCloud account, so what better time to rectify our oversight. We thought the original was a really catchy track, but a little to Euphoric fluff for our tastes, but Mr. Faust rectifies that perfectly. It’s the same catchy, infectious tune, but with a backing of that wonderful Justin Faust synth Disco goodness. Everything about this track from the bouncy Disco bass to the smooth solo make you smile. It’s a really good vocal, Greta has an interesting inflection to her voice that’s pretty involving, in our opinion Faust has done the vocal more justice than the original.

Justin Faust & Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver

justin-faust

Justin Faust has been a long time staple here at electronic rumors, while Finnish Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver have been featured a few time but are relatively new favourites of ours. Put them together and you have one hell of a Discotexas dream team.

Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver’s reMix of Justin Faust’s ‘High Hopes’ was released today for free in celebration of both parties recent, very well received, EPs. JL & JO’s mix of Mr. Faust’s ‘High Hopes’, originally featured on his ‘Girl Talk’ EP of last year, is a shockingly good exercise in fresh Nu-Disco built on retro sounds. It’s got a massive lead line, a serious Disco bassline, popping electro Toms and a wicked little guitar riff to keep things on the up. Pure gold. As we mentioned a couple of days ago, Discotexas are one of the few labels that so consistently release awesome material that you can always bank on the name to deliver the goods.

Justin Faust’s ‘Girl Tal’ EP is out now, as is Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver’s ‘Diamonda’, both on Discotexas.

Justin Faust reMixes Moullinex

Moullinex

Here we have Justin Faust’s contribution to Moullinex’s forthcoming ‘Modular Jam’ reMix EP.

Mr. Faust adds some razor sharp synths with an almost Acid burbling to his crisp, clean Disco. Everything about this mix is so bright, like a shining white future built upon layers and layers of  head nodding riffs, immaculately produced. With an infectious hook and a mix that lets every element shine through, Faust has knocked out another winner here.

Justin Faust reMixed by PWNDTIAC

justinfaust

Justin Faust is celebrating a hugely successful couple of months of his latest release, the ‘Girl Talk’ EP, being out in the world and loved by all with a free reMix of the lead track by the awesomely named PWNDTIAC .

But it’s not just the name that’s cool about this guy, he’s turned in an amazingly slick, funky and fun mix of Faust’s track. Big ‘80’s drums with a digital funk bassline keep it solid for the huge retro chords and squelchy melody to work their magic. This is well on it’s way to become my favourite of the mixes, it hits all the right spots for a late night nostalgia jam. PWNDTIAC has just released his début EP on Work It Baby, this guy’s gonna’ go far in the Dreamwave/Nu-Disco world.

Viceroy’s new single

viceory

Who want’s a new Viceroy single? Who want’s it for free? Who want’s that release to include a reMix from none-other than Mr. Justin Faust? Right, is that everybody?

‘No Ending’ is right up there as the epitome of Viceory’s summer, beach party, Nu-Disco sound. A pure party tune, sample led, with heavy slap bass and the sweetest groove and has been getting major support over the summer. Justin Faust’s reMix bring a deep, relentless, take on the track to loose yourself in on the dancefloor.

Vincent Fries & Justin Faust

Vincent Fries

Justin Faust recently guested on Vincent Fries’ ‘Bavarian Barbarian’ EP, the result being ‘Choppy Slick’ a response to Faust’s own ‘Sloppy Chick’.

Taking the bouncy riff from from the smooth Nu-Disco original, this version beefs things up a bit, adding a little grit with some distorted synths and heavy beats that counterpoints quite nicely with the shimmering retro synths to make a track that is both viscerally dancefloor and musically satisfying and crosses the Nu-Disco/Electro-House barrier with ease.
