Monsieur Adi reMixes Justice

justice

Thankfully, despite Justice’s new album, ‘Audio, Video, Disco’, being disappointing and more than a little bland there is still a wealth of material that is just ripe for reMixing, and we can think of no-one better than Monsieur Adi for the job.

Adi injects the tune with his trademark bombast , slowly building and layering in what could almost be described as deep Electro Gospel which beats the original’s Prog Rock hands down. Strangely, Adi’s French Touch and Strings approach seems to capture the feel of the track better than the original ever did.

‘Ohio’ is taken from Justice’s album, ‘Audio, Video, Disco’, out now.

Monsieur Adi & Blue Satellite reMix Kylie

kylie

Official releases are a strange thing. So often I hear remixes from artists I love that were officially commissioned and then shelved in favour of generic PopHouseTrance from the likes of Freemasons or Stargate, despite being more interesting, more musically adept, and having more groove than the throwaway versions that end up on the single.

Such is the case here with reMixes of Kylie Minogue’s summer hit ‘Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love)’ from a couple of amazing producers Monsieur Adi and Blue Satellite. I won’t bother talking about the competent, but ultimately generic dross that made the release, but they aren’t a patch on Adi’s impressive, multi-layered, edgy Electro track that throws a bit of everything into the mix, all kept in check by Adi’s mastery of his music. Or Blue Satellite’s track, which would have been a perfect summer Disco anthem, I can’t help feeling Kylie’s label missed a trick there (I’m not sure if BS’s was actually commissioned, but either way they still missed out).

Monsieur Adi’s ‘Blood’

Monsieur Adi

Monsieur Adi’s ‘Fire Fire Fire’ single is already out, but this December it get’s turned into a whole EP of Adi’s orchestral Electro amazingness. Check the first new tune, ‘Blood’.

By now it’s probably a bit redundant for us to sing the praises of Adi once again, the man is a genius with top-of-the-pack skills in both Nu-Disco groove and massive cinematic orchestration and ‘Blood ‘ doesn’t disappoint. The way the majestic baroque introduction sets you up for the big drop works so well. There’s a touch of Daft Punk about this track but Adi can’t really be compared to anyone else out there, no-one does what he does, no-one could.

♫ Monsieur Adi – Blood

Monsieur Adi’s EP ‘Fire Fire Fire’ will be out on 5th December, the single is out now.

Monsieur Adi X Visitor

adi

Well this is certainly an unexpected treat, it’s like X-mas! The awesome Visitor reMixing the awesome Monsieur Adi! One of the best ElectroPop acts in the world reMixing one of the best Nu-Disco producers in the world. What can go wrong?

Nothing is the answer. Absolutely nothing. Visitor gently nude the amazing original into their slick ElectroPop style, never heavy handed with it, this sounds like a real meeting of minds where visitor took the core of the track and ran with it, rather than ran over it. Visitor have been buried away in their studio for so long you forget how talented they are, I just wish they’d hurry up with their album.

Monsieur Adi’s latest Madonna reMix

madonna

Now, with all pretence of being a trilogy Monsieur Adi’s fifth Madonna reMix has landed to wow us once more.

What can we say about Adi’s mixes that we haven’t already said? The man’s skill as a Nu-Disco producer with a perfect ear for the dancefloor coupled with his flair for the orchestral is a combination that wins ever single time. The way he keeps the groove while adding all the drama and emotion for the most rousing movie score amazes us every time. It’s no different with this reMix of ‘Beautiful Stranger’, the track is led by a robust horn section and swelling strings that only around the four minute mark are complimented but the beat kicking in, but this just adds to the anticipation, and when the beat does drop, along with a shift in the strings, it’s powerful stuff.

Blue Satellite reMixes Monsieur Adi (& The Whip)

Monsieur Adi

The excellent Blue Satellite get’s his Justice on with this reMix of Monsieur Adi awesome, epic, Nu-Disco single ‘Fire Fire Fire’.

In one of the most exciting reMixes I’ve heard this month Blue Satellite takes many of the elements of Electro these days that have been annoying me, making the scene complacent and predictable, and injected them with a new energy and craftsmanship and, basically, just show up half of the Electro-House scene as lazy, talentless fools. This is how it should be done.

♫ Monsieur Adi – Fire Fire Fire (Blue Satellite reMix)

He’s also just reMixed The Whip’s new single ‘Keep Or Delete’ with a sound more like we would expect from Blue Satellite but still rocking a new found chainsaw synth edge to his production.

Monsieur Adi’s new single.

Monsieur Adi

Out today, Monsieur Adi’s new single is smoking hot!

After a few setbacks, the ‘Fire Fire Fire’ EP is finally here and just proves once again, that Adi is seriously one of the most talented producers working in electronic music right now. Both behind the keys and behind a mixing desk Adi excels. Heavy Disco drums and powerful rolling synth bass drive the track through territory littered with growling synth riffs and soaring guitar solos.Then just when the excitement reaches it’s peak Adi drops a layer of his trademark beautiful strings to intertwine with the guitar. It not very often that a producer so completely nails it that you’re tempted to use the word perfect.

I’m tempted…

Monsieur Adi reMixes Madonna’s ‘Erotica’

madonna

Monsieur Adi’s trilogy of Madonna reMixes seems to have given up trying to be a trilogy, grabbed his Madonna record collection and run with it.

This time he’s taking on ‘Erotica’ and gives us something a little different, but inspired genius. Tribal, almost dancehall, beast and robotic vocal manipulation which builds and builds it’s hypnotic groove until a peak where it injects the bit we’re all waiting for. Adi immaculate orchestration. The huge strings and brass then giveaway to an edgy, haunting ending. Monsieur Adi nails is again, the layers and textures with which he crafts his reMix really put him in a league of his own.

Monsieur Adi reMixes Madonna’s ‘Frozen’

Here it is, ‘Frozen’ is the final part of Monsieur Adi’s trilogy of Madonna reMixes, and he’s going out with a bang!

Seriously, this tune is just majestic. ‘Frozen’ is a track that’s very close to Adi, he writes “The final remix of this trilogy is one of Frozen. It is such an iconic song of Madonna that really first made me notice Madonna. The delicacy, fragility, and darkness of the song matched with the video really left a mark on me. Just last year I have lost my mother which was the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life ; I don’t believe anything else could hurt me as much as that. After it, I suppose I became a little “Frozen” creatively and emotionally, but recently I’ve just started to release and return to my old self. I wanted to keep with the spiritual aspect of the song and not do too much. The remix builds in and on itself with a tribal beat, French horns, a cathedral organ, synths, and a choir to back Madonna. It’s been fantastic working with her voice ! Here is the product !”, and it shows. The care and attention put into doing the song justice is awe inspiring. From the deep groove to the powerful orchestration Adi has uplifted and reinvigorated, what is, a thirteen year old track with such love that you can’t help but be astonished and completely absorbed by it.

Monsieur Adi reMixes Madonna beautifully

Madonna’s ‘Get Together’, a relatively recent track, have been lovingly reworked my Electro renaissance man Monsieur Adi.

You can tell it’s one of his favourite Madonna tracks by the sheer thought and consideration that has gone into this mix. Slowing the pace and counterpointing his trademark strings with the warmest bass you’ll ever hear Adi creates a deep, enveloping track that you can just sink into.
