Mustang’s Monarchy reMix

Monarchy and Rokhsan’s single ‘I Won’t Let Go’ was released a week or so ago, so if you haven’t heard it yet here’s the amazing Mustang reMix.

Epic and emotional, Mustang has done an awesome job here. Loaded with Disco bass, big retro chords and a funky little guitar riff this reMix really highlights both sets of vocals for the powerful performance they are. I think this is defiantly my favourite of the reMixes, it takes the raw feeling of the original but dials the music down a bit and lets you just sink into it.

Monarchy mix up ‘Gold In The Fire’ and ‘Eternal Flame’

Here’s a pretty odd track, but it really works.

Monarchy, true to their name, in celebration of the impending royal wedding have recorded this piano mashup between their ‘Gold In The Fire’ and The Bangles’ ‘Eternal Flame’. The two seem to go together perfectly and it reminds you what an immense Pop song.

‘Eternal Flame’ is.

♫ Monarchy – Gold In The Eternal Fire

I’m not bothered about the royal wedding in the slightest, save for the fact that I have to travel into London tomorrow and it’s going to be a nightmare! Other than that it just seems to be a be a massive financial burden on we, the public. We’re not even invited!

Monarchy’s ‘I Won’t Let Go’ video

Space age ElectroPoppers Monarchy’s new single, featuring Rokhsan, ‘ I Won’t Let Go’ has got itself a video.

Premiering yesterday, the day of release, the video , directed by Roy Raz, is suitably Sci-Fi and mysterious.

‘I Won’t Go’ was released this week on Moda with Bag Raiders, Mustang and Sam Tiba reMixes.

Monarchy Vs. Bag Raiders

More Monarchy! More Bag Raiders! Indeed!

Easily two of our favourite artists of recent times clash on this reMix from Monarchy’s forthcoming ‘I Won’t Let Go’ reMix package. Bag Raiders pull back the speed and drop a deep Italo track with nod than a small nod to early 90’s House, which is odd at first but really gets under your skin. this reMix is a bit like being drunk, the more you get the more you want!

♫ Monarchy (Feat. Rokhsan) – I Won’t Let Go (Bag Raiders remix)

‘I Won’t Go’ is released 11th April on Moda. Mustang and Sam Tiba coming soon.

Monarchy won’t let go

So, what happened to super-secret ElectroPop duo Monarchy’s début album. Apparently it’s slated for release in the coming months and will be a lot different from last year’s promos.

In the meantime they have announced their forthcoming new single ‘I Won’t Let Go’. A full-on Monarchy epic that we haven’t seen the likes of since’ The Phoenix Alive’. Despite the fact that most people seem to have a good idea of who they are the duo are keeping their identities under wraps and letting the music speak for itself (as a side not, I’;m not sure if I believe who everyone says it is, the production style just seems different to me) and with this new single the music soars into the stratosphere to let the world know. 2011 is the year of Monarchy. If only they could get their record label shit together.

‘I Won’t Go’ is released 11th April on Moda.

Monarchy reMix Kylie Minogue

It was only yesterday that it was announced that the ElectroPop mystery men Monarchy would be reMixing Kylie Minogue’s next single, ‘Better Than Love’ and already we have the reMix so you lot can listen to it!

In true Monarchy style, the London Cosmic SynthPoppers have taking Kylie into space. If Kylie’s music is the sound of a Disco down on Earth, then Monarchy create the soundtrack to the Disco in the orbiting space station. Floating, zero-G, synths wash over Miss Minogue’s dreamlike vocals all held together by the their machine beats. With a pulsing bassline acting as the heartbeat of the tune this is one of the most innovative Disco or ElectroPop reMixes that I have heard in a while. Or maybe I’m just reading too much into it? It’s pretty rad either way!

This is the track that should make first contact!

♫ Kylie Minogue – Better Than Today (Monarchy’s Kylie Through The Wormhole reMix)

‘Better Than Today’ will be released on December 6.

OMD Vs. Monarchy!!!

We knew a while back that the amazing Monarchy we’re reMixing Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark next single, we just didn’t expect to be hearing it so soon, they’ve only just finished!

‘Sister Marie Says’ was the first material from OMD’s new album ‘The History Of Modern’ way back in December last year so we always figured it was on the cards for a single. One thing I like about OMD’s return is that they are picking really good contemporary reMixers. The last single boasted the likes of VillaNah and French Horn Rebellion and now Monarchy.

The pairing of OMD and Monarchy seems to good to be true and the result is pretty special. Monarchy seem to have really got their teeth into creating a modern sounding 80’s track and come up with a reMix every bit forward looking as retro.

Awesome!

Monarchy & Penguin Prison reMix new Jamiroquai single

Mid-90’s funkateers Jamiroquai are kicking back this year with a new album and someone on team Jamiroquai has good taste when it comes to picking reMixers ‘cos you can’t get better than Monarchy and Penguin Prison!

‘White Knuckle Ride’ will be the lead single from the forthcoming album ‘Rock Light Dust Star’ and it gets transformed into two awesome slices of DiscoPop by Monarchy and Penguin Prison. Both versions are top quality but if I had to, gun to the head, favour one I think it would be Monarchy’s ElectroPop/Nu-Disco slant (although PP’s had a wicked lead line!)
