Lenno reMixes Gracias

Gracias

Here’s a new reMix from one of our favourite current Nu-Disco producers, The Finnish Lenno. Originally recorded for a re-cap video of a Nike event in Helsinki, the man has now made it available to download from his Facebook page.

We briefly check out out the original, it’s well done, but pretty standard Hip Hop from Gracias called ‘40k Volts’. Lenno has stripped it down to it’s barest essentially, keeping just the occasional snatched of vocal and the rebuilt it as a main room Nu-Disco stormer. Lenno has such a huge peak time sound that is fast becoming his trademark. Dropping an extra bit of House piano into the mix, Lenno actives an even fuller track, and a groove that is guaranteed to keep the dancefloor moving. Isn’t it about time for a new Lenno EP? We definitely think so.

Lenno & Martin Solveig

marrtin-solveig1

Hot on the heels of wunderkind Madeon’s reMix of Martin Solveig’s new single ‘The Night Out’ comes another of our favourite up-and-comers Lenno’s version of the track. Madeon’s an absolute genius, there some kind of freaky latent talent going on there that is so far beyond and normal human ability that it’s possible he’s a extra-terrestrial visitor sent here to study homo sapien reactions to Disco, but if, gun to our head, we had to pick between Madeon and Lenno, I think Lenno would just take the prize. His smooth but energetic French Touch gets us every time.

So, to his reMix. Solveig’s made some awesome reMix talent decisions (A-Trak also contributes a blinder) and in contrast to Madeon’s powerhouse track, Lenno drops something slightly more slick. The lead riff the Finnish producer has worked into the track is pure dancefloor jump-up energy and rides effortlessly over the kind of bassline that you could work into any set as it rolls along, unobtrusive, yet unconsciously building you to the big drop. As far as we’re concerned, this is the pick of the reMix package. I guess that makes us ‘Team Lenno’ then? Ah man, does that mean we have to change all out user icons?

Futurecop!’s ‘Starworshipper’ single

futurecop_03

I’ve got to say, for all my love for ’Futurecop!: The Movie’ I do prefer Futurecop! when they are doing what they do best, big retro ElectroPop, that’s why I love their Japan only album ‘It’s Forever, Kids’ and one of the best tracks on there was the Diana Gen featuring vocal version of ‘Starworhipper’, produced by none other than Diamond Cut.

Futurecop! must think so to as it;s getting a single release with an astounding reMix package. you probably know the original by now, infectious dancefloor ElectroPop with equal helpings of soul and nostalgia. A great single for the summer. The big excitement for me when seeing the reMix line up was the inclusion of the king of SynthWave Mitch Murder, and the man doesn’t disappoint. Mitch’s big, soundtrack influenced, ‘80’s sounds work perfectly with this track, and when the track kicks in with his trademark stratospheric soloing it’s pure gold. Lenno is another of out current favourites, when you want exciting, energy fuelled Nu-Disco, he’s your man and right here he delivers a tune suitable for the big room. Boombar man Jowie Schulner smoothes out the single with a slick laidback Dreamwave take on the song, giving the tune a sunrise vibe. Lastly it’s Out There who round off the EP with an Electro powerhouse of a track to end on a high. The single is a pretty essential purchase, how can a collection of talent like this go wrong?

Lenno reMixes St. Lucia

st-lucia

I’m so into Lenno right now, i dropped two of his mixes last Friday at the ‘electronic rumors Volume 1′ launch party and the totally rocked the dancefloor.

He’s got such a gift for creating these massive, big room Disco tunes that just build and build. We’ve already heard Starsmith’s take on the new Neon Gold Records release from St. Lucia , ‘We Got It Wrong’. The Finnish relative newcomer takes more established producers to school with this absolutely huge chunk of Nu-Disco. It’s got that, now recognisable, Lenno ‘sound’, the choppy, bright synths playing against the Funk bass. It looks like it;s going to be Lenno’s year.

♫ St. Lucia – We Got It Wrong (Lenno reMix)

The ‘We Got It Wrong’ 12” is released 14th February as a pre-cursor to March’s EP.

Check out more from St. Lucia on SoundCloud.

Miami Horror reMixed by Lenno & Jesse Oliver

miami-horror

producer Lenno is fast becoming a name to watch with a string of amazing reMixes. This time he’s teamed up with Jesse Oliver to rework Miami Horror’s hit of last year, ‘Holidays’.

It’s a rapid fire bassline that keeps this tune pumping. Bright retro synths stab away at the tune but the machine bass never falters from it’s course and lends the tune a slight Italo flavour. Leno and Jesse Oliver have crafter a really nice Dreamwavey update to the song, keeping the Indie-Electro feel to the vocals but bringing them straight to an electronic dancefloor.

Even more Futurecop! ‘Starworshipper’ reMixes

It has been suggested to me that I was less than complete with my selection of entries in Futurecop!’s ‘Starworshipper’ reMix contest, so let’s put that right!

Sarah from Holographic People rightly pointed out to me that the Young Digerati mix easily deserved recognition. And she’s so right, I don’t know how I left it out, if you go and look at the SoundCloud page for the track you’ll see me raving about it when it was first released so how I forgot it I don’t know. Mind like a sieve! It’s an amazing piece of work that just proves Young Digerati are on their way ‘up’!

Commenter Larry sent me in the direction of the second reMix here, by Lenno, who is a just 16! Seriously! Which kinda’ blows my mind. I hadn’t heard this mix before and I am so glad I have now. This slick Dreamwavey mix will defiantly have me checking out more of Lenno’s stuff.
