MiGHty mOUse reMixes Hervé & Ronika

Ronika

Hervé & Ronika’s old school Rave anthem How Can I Live Without You? (Make It Right) was finally released yesterday, revealing the most eagerly awaited (as far as we were concerned) of the reMixes. From the moment we heard both the original, and that London’s Disco don MiGHty mOUse was contributing a reMix, for us, that was the one to hear.

And it lives up to expectations, easily positioning itself as the standout of the package. Driven by a deep galactic funk, MiGHty mOUse takes us, and Ronika, out beyond the solar system with some of the most cosmic Disco you’ll hear in a while. A booming robo bassline is perfectly complimented by electro toms popping and pewing like laser fire off the starboard bow. This is the kind of jam they danced to in late 70’s Sci-Fi shows, when the did dance, especially in Buck Rodgers. Like the musical equivalent of a shiny silver jumpsuit, one worn by Madonna Of The Midlands™ Ronika. Which, thinking about it, she’d probably love. Addictive space funk, get involved.

MiGHty mOUse reMixes Moonlight Matters

moonlight-matters

Moonlight Matters (Seba from Villa)’s Gustaph from Hercules And Love Affair featuring Come For Me is easily one of the tracks of the year so far, along with a handful of other release it’s really breaking that post Bomb The Bass late ‘90’s Pop sound that just so darn fun. What better to put the icing on the cake that a reMix from London’s dancefloor controller MiGHty mOUse.

The mOUse takes the Chicago House elements of the track and runs with them. It’s an epic song and MM really works that by bringing us down into a hypnotic groove for the verses and then sending us skyrocketing into a massive piano led, euphoric chorus. MM really works the diva nature of the vocals by building tension and adding layers to the verses as they build toward the chorus, where the tension breaks into pure uplifting anthem territory. It’s the attention to detail that really makes this mix shine, full of intricate details, from the percussion to the sampling, it’s impeccable produced, giving it something to rock dancefloors and something to rock your headphones. The track isn’t on the single, it’s an added bonus, so grab the download now.

MiGHty mOUse’s new EP

MiGHty mOUse

This week London’s king of groove MiGHty mOUse releases his new EP. The long awaited follow up to 2010’s ‘Disco Battle Weapons’, the cunningly titled ‘Disco Battle Weapons (Volume 2)’ is a return to straight up cosmic Disco after all that mucking around with being a Pop band (and releasing one of our favourite tunes of 2011). MiGHty mOUse has already had an amazing year with his ‘Disco Circus’ mix selling like hotcakes, but now it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty and bust out some space age Disco as only MM can.

It’s hard for us to pick out favourite track on the EP, it’s a toss-up between ‘Moments In Space’ and ‘Rocket’. ‘Moments’ is a galactic journey made audio, a SciFi story for the dancefloor. Raw beats and otherworldly arpeggios weave in and out of the track while you mind id dominated by a piercing alien melody. Intricately crafted and immediately infectious, ‘Moments’ is a new tough, cosmic Disco MiGHty mOUse, and we love it. ‘Rocket’ is the spiritual descendant of Herbie Hancock’s classic of the same (well, similar) name, and it models itself on the same era of electronic Funk and Disco whilst never moving one foot from the harder dancefloors of today. A growling bassline and a nod to B-Boy Electro is all we need. ‘Kid In Space’ is the brightest track on the EP, a cute robotic melody loops around this tune, which is just the ticket for livening up the dancefloor. The hypnotic lead line and bass give the track room to play around with percussion and LFOs, who are the real starts of the track. ‘Electric Moonshine’ seems to be the big, classic Nu-Disco, offering from the EP, but the inclusion of slightly staccato Violin give this track a complete uniqueness. Couple that with a huge, emotion breakdown, and MiGHty mOUse new retro future groove and you’ve got the track that’ll be killing the clubs in the coming months. ‘Disco Battle Weapons (Volume 2)’ is a very welcome return to original track for MiGHty mOUse, and one that’s going to be on repeat ‘round these parts for a while.

MiGHty mOUse reMixes Nyteowl

Nyteowl

Earlier this month Minneapolis based four peice Nyteowl released their ‘Love of Mine’ single on Juno’s new label, Love Interest. Amongst the top quality collection of reMix talent was MiGHty mOUse with this Moroder-esque Disco mix.

This is probably the most Italo leaning track MM has done to date, and it’s that more electronic sound that allowed it to slot so well into MM’s recent, amazing, Disco Circus 3 compilation. More synthetic, less sample based, Nu-Disco is becoming more and more popular and we see that as an superb thing and with track like this MiGHty mOUse is going to be leading the charge. This reMix is a wonderful mixture of energy and soul, it’s got the power of the most full-on dancefloor track but oozes the emotion and Funk of late ‘70’s electronic Disco experiments.

The track is also featured on MiGHty mOUse must-have ‘Disco Circus 3’ compilation.

MiGHty mOUse take on Kate Bush’s ‘Cloudbusting’

kate bush

you’d have though by now if you’d heard one version of Kate Bush often reMixes ‘Cloudbusting’, you’d have heard them all. Well, thankfully along comes MiGHty mOUse to do something fresh and give the track a new lease of life.

Dropping a slow building slice of Moroder Disco with little hint’s of Dub was the prefect choice for this track and takes it to an ‘80’s lit dancefloor place it hasn’t been before. The percussion in the reMix is worth mentioning too, with a beautiful melodic quality to it, and the melodies have a percussive quality too which makes for some nice interaction. All-in-all though, if you’re looking for a version of this tune to drop, this is the one. Dancefloor destroying, I believe they call it.
