Edwin Van Cleef reMixes The Knocks

It’s like The Knocks fortnight! Not only have they recently dropped their amazing reMix of Haim’s Forever and the release of their The Feeling EP, complete with a multitude of reMixes. One of the one we were most looking forward to was the work of Edwin Van Cleef, who whips up the title track into a deep and funky retro House track.

If you like you’re basslines Chicago flavoured and your dace tracks loaded with catchy refrains then you are in luck right here. Cleef delivers the EPs standout mix. Using the original’s anthemic vocal to it’s sing-a-long fullest this reMix pushes a severe level of energy and feel-good part vibes. It’s just a pity that the weather is starting to turn nasty, and this reMix is a month or so too late, to fully appreciate it’s summery charms.

The Knocks reMix Haim

Hot on the heels of their reMix of Two Door Cinema Club’s Sleep Alone (alongside the release of their own The Feeling), those purveyors of the finest New York style Disco, The Knocks, have turned their attention to much-hyped LA Indie girl-trio-and-a-dude-drumming Haim.

The Knocks take that 90’s R&B shuffling quality Haim’s vocals display and run with it, weaving Forever into their summery, pool party Disco sound. The New York based duo indulge a little of their Tropical side, mixing an LA Dreamwave feel into their usual NYC Disco. I know this will be a controversial opinion on the music blogosphere but Forever works so much better with The Knocks laid back dance sound than it does with it’s original stripped down groove Rock.

Philosophy Of Sound’s ‘Fragile Disco’ video + Coupons reMix

Philosophy Of Sound’s second single for Discotexas, Fragile Disco, has just been released and continues their deep, vintage sounding, Disco oddessy.

Check out the new video, directed by Martin Koszolko. It features far to many apps and not enough actual instruments in our opinion, but it’s a nice looking affair.

Also just our for you listening pleasure is this reMix of the track from fellow Discotexas-ers Coupons, to take the track to even deeper places with growling baselines and space-age melodies.

Coming equipped with a reMix from Sp00nfed amongst others, this single is sure to make some waves with smooth Electro Disco lovers.

Casio Social Club & Elijah Collins reMix Tad Wily

The track Garage Love originally appeared on London Funkster Tad Wily’s Right Fit EP on Mullet Records. Now the track is getting a reMix EP of it’s own, headed up by work from Mullet’s own Casio Social Club.

Casio Social Club’s Justin really brings the smooth boogie with this reMix. Whilst keeping it danceable in a robo-synth style, Casio Social Club wash the track in a slick and sexy laid back vibe. Warm vintage synth sounds drift over a choppy synth Funk bassline while stanches of subtly vocoded vocals ebb and flow around the track. It’s well and truly in Casio Social Clubs’ romantic Electro Boogie Disco style and would move any summer dancelfoor. Elijah Collins takes the track down dark, funky, Electro alleyways with ominous robot vocals and a deep groove that reminds us of a modern Cybotron. It’s a B-Boy boogie with a disco beat, the perfect combination.

♫ Tad Wily – Garage Love (Casio Social Club ‘Time After Time’ reMix)

♫ Tad Wily – Garage Love (Elijah Collins’ ‘Computer Love’ reMix)

Tad Wily’s Garage Love reMixed is released 2nd October on Juno, 16th October elsewhere.

The Knocks reMixed by Modern Machines

New York disco duo The Knocks’ new single ‘The Feeling’ is out this week and comes complete with a whole host of rad reMixes from the likes of Com Truise and Edwin Van Cleef. Here’s one extra for you, from fellow New Yorkers Modern Machines.

Modern Machines bring some seriously huge big-room vibes to the track. The track build you up with a massive ElectroPop intro, reminiscent of the best epic tunes of the last decade, before dropping you into some funky as hell cut-up Nu-Disco, then drawing you back again. The vocal hook stands out as a sing-a-long anthem as Modern Machines dip you in and out of some crashing dancefloor moments.
