[Download] Luke Million reMixes Midnight Pool Party’s ‘Linger’

We do love a Luke Million reMix. The Australian Italo-Disco producer always goes to the synth next-level. Out this week is his reMix from fellow Aussies Midnight Pool Party and their new single Linger. We found the original of the track a little tame, in a by-the-numbers way, but no fear, Mr. Million is here it inject the tune with his particular brand of synthesizer love.

Leading in and out with the originals Disco lick, Luke Million eschews the original’s Indie-Pop vibe for a deeply funky Italo style. Heaping vocoded versions of the vocals with undulating and soaring synth leads gives the track a much needed epic quality. We could listen to those magical keys all day and Luke Million shreds his way though SynthWave solos set to his carefree Disco beats.

[Audio] Luke Million reMixes Sterling Silver’s ‘Sweet Talk’

Here’s a little mid-week bounce-fest coming straight from the heart of Australia. Well, not the heart, that’s just a figure of speech, the heart would be way too hot, more lie straight from one of the edgy bits of Australia. Anyway, Luke Million, Italo-Disco player and undisclosed parts of The Swiss has gone and delivered a huge slab of vintage Boogie in the for of his new reMix for fellow Aussie (presumably also from an edgy bit) Sterling Silver.

From the opening, cinematic, analog synth warbling you know you’re in for a treat. A retro space-age workout that deftly merges the groovier qualities of Italo and 80s ElectroPop in a slick package that both loaded with nostalgia and fit for contemporary dancefloors. Razor sharp synths mix with thick stabs and the occasional vocoder drop to keep things upbeat and breezy. A proper retroPop epic, authentic as hell without being trite. The sound of yesterday, today.

[Audio] Grum reMixes Luke Million’s ‘Midnight’

Does anyone else, when someone mentions Leeds based dance music genius Grum, get (to the tune of Monty Python’s Spam) ‘Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum, Grum’ stuck in their head for about an hour afterward? No? Just us then. We feel a bit mental now, but it’s good to finally get that out. We also feels a bit mental ‘cos we refer to ourselves in the corporate ‘we’…you know I’m just one dude, right? Life is odd.

Oh well, to combat life’s oddness for five minutes and nineteen seconds Grum has delivered this absolutely rock solid reMix of Australian Italo-Disco producer, and a bit of The Swiss, Luke Million’s Midnight. This is actually a bit of a throwback tune for Grum, like Grum of old it’s borderline Dreamwave in it’s right emotional retro synth sound. This, warbling bass, lush pads, the kind of piano hook that just wills you to move, this one has got all the ingredients for dancefloor rocker supreme. We love it!
