Ronika Vs. Lovers & Gamblers

ronika

Are Lovers & Gamblers still Little Boots’ personal DJ army? Or have they evolved beyond that (not that there is anything wrong with being Little Boots’ personal DJ army, I’d sign up!). Well, whether they are or not they still turn out a mean edit, and this is the second time they’ve reMixed a track called ‘Automatic’ this one, the better one, being the new single from Madonna Of The Midlands™ Ronika.

L&G strip the track down a bit, turning it into a slightly more minimal Piano led House track. Upping the tempo and adding some shuffling percussion add a sense of urgency (for some reason I kept expecting the track to drop the Paid In Full beat?) but keeps the funky vibe of ‘Automatic’. It’s a nice, ‘90’s flavoured, House compliment to the Disco groove of the original.

Marina And The Diamonds reMixed by Lovers & Gamblers

MarinaAndTheDiamons05

More Marina And The Diamonds you say? Well that’s just fine! Especially as she is the target for the latest reMix by Little Boot’s posse Lovers & Gamblers.

A few reMixes in and we’re now starting to get a real feel for L&G’s style. I love the way they use their synths, it’s pretty stripped down, just concentrating on the groove, it’s like raw Electro Disco. I can imagine them, not surrounded by thousands of pounds worth of studio gear, but with a handful of trusty analog synths and a four-track! This reMix has a killer bassline, pretty aggressive but sweetened by the blanket of retro synth work over the top, and we know the original’s a good song anyway!

Is it just me or do Marina’s vocals really lend well to reMixes? More so than most?

The ‘I Am Not A Robot’ single is out on 26th April.

Lovers & Gamblers reMix the hell out of Yes Giantess

YesGiantess03

London’s Lovers & Gamblers are the name on the lips of those electronic music fans in the know right now. So far, even being another ‘mystery’ band (or Victoria Hesketh’s DJ crew!) can’t distract from the amazing retro synth work going on here.

Check their reMix of the brilliant Yes Giantess’ current single ‘The Ruins’ which has already seen reMixes from the likes of Fear Of Tigers, Clock Opera and Baby Monster. L&G’s layers of 80’s hits and warm analog bass sounds make for some sweet ElectroPop/Nu-Disco action!
