Moon Boots’ new tune

moon boots

French Express’ Moon Boots, despite having bills to pay himself, has gone and thrown caution to the wind and dropped his latest big Nu-Disco tune for free!

‘Bills To Pay’ is pretty cosmic and pretty beach party, in terms of it’s Disco standing. So maybe like a beach party on Jupiter or something. With a big soul vocal sampled hook and a creeping funk bassline the track just inspires the boogie. If fact, even though it had the big diva refrain and some seriously strong House piano, it is that bassline, subtly but funky in a Quincy Jones way, that makes this tune so infectious.

Starsmith reMixes St. Lucia

St. Lucia

Hey! What’s Starsmith been up to? Probably bust producing someone famous, or holed up with Ellie writing her next album? It’s been too long since he treated us to a track though. So it is with great excitement that we hear Fin’s reMix of St. Lucia’s ‘We Got It Wrong’.

Taken from St. Lucia’s forthcoming Neon Gold Records EP, released in March with a an album following later in the year, ‘We Got It Wrong’ is to have a reMix 12” all of it’s own in the lead up to the EP’s release, and that’s where the might talents of Starsmith come into play. Slick and silky Dreamwavey ElectroPop is the man’s forté, no-one does it quite like him, and with his rework of ‘We Got It Wrong’ he crafts a warm, immediately familiar feeling, Nu-Disco tune loaded with bright synths and lush pads. This is one I definitely can’t wait to play out, the kind of track that’ll make the dancefloor move as one. Also, around the 1m32m mark it’s got that sumptuous Starsmith drop that makes you instantly lost in the tune. The reMix 12” also includes work from a current favourite of ours,Lenno, and Xaphoon Jones, it’s gonna’ be well worth a look.

♫ St. Lucia – We Got It Wrong (Starsmith reMix)

The ‘We Got It Wrong’ 12” is released 14th February as a pre-cursor to March’s EP.

Rayko ‘Heads Together’ Edit

Rayko

Ruben & Ra’s Retrospective imprint have another gem in the offering. Rayko, fresh from his ‘Broadway’ being hailed as 2011’s No. 1 Disco track on Juno, delivers his take on The O’Jays ‘Put Our Heads Together’.

As part of the sixth instalment of Retrospective’s Edit EP series and in pure Edit style Rayko takes all the lush synths and thick bass from The O’Jay’s original and turns things up to 11 for some massive ‘80’s synth Funk. The twanging lead line of the track is highlighted perfectly by Rayko and, if possible, he seems to bring the track even more of a groove.

♫ Rayko – Heads Together (Rayko Vocal Edit)

‘Retrospective 6’ is released 27th February.

Sam Padrul’s new tune

Sam Padrul

‘Let’s Make History’ is the new track from Chicago based Funkmeister Sam Padrul.

Dropping a smooth slab of Funk with more soul, less robotics than his previous tracks Sam delivers a chilled get down jam. In his own words: “After having been listening to disco and early 80’s boogie records for the past several months, I was inspired to make a track that was more organic, downtempo, and groovier than my previous single, “All I Do”. In particular, this song was inspired a lot by Bill Withers’ “Bout Love” album, whose smooth Wurlitzers and Rhodes kept me groovin’.”. He’s nailed those slick, funky vocals perfectly. Nothing but good times could come from a track like this, it’s like an audio sunset beach party.

Gigamesh X Grouplove

Grouplove

I have no idea who Grouplove are. Apparently they’re quite famous in Indie-Rock circles, circles I try to stay away from. They look a bit twee to me and are probably far to quaint for anyone’s good, but, sweet Raptor Jesus, has Gigamesh dropped an absolute blinder of a reMix of their track ‘Tongue Tied’.

Gigamesh just knows exactly what he’s doing. This reMix is actually pretty complex, both in programming and arrangement, but in Gigamesh’s hands it feels effortless. I gave the original a quick listen and Gigamesh has been pretty respectful of the song and pinpointed what works in it, extracted that and washed the whole thing in his summery, good times, Disco vibe. With some clever vocal sampling, a seriously funky, diving, bass section and layers of synth with just the right amount of warmth Gigamesh delivers a fun, bubbly, party tune to rock your dancefloors. Although he’s still enjoying the success of his début EP, we here are gagging for more Gigamesh. Fingers crossed for another EP soon!

♫ Grouplove – Toungue Tied (Gigamesh reMix)

Tongue Tied” is taken from Grouplove’s ‘Never Trust a Happy Song’ album, out now.

Lancelot’s début EP

Lancelot

Lancelot is the latest in an increasing number of artists to be taken under the wing of Binary Records. In the recent expansion beyond the core Binary crew Josh and Kyle have shown some A&R genius in sniffing out interesting and different electronic artists and once again have struck gold with Lancelot.

We’ve heard the odd reMix from Lancelot over the last few months but late February Binary delivers his début EP, ‘We Can Dance’. It;s a few weeks away but right now we can have a listen to the lead track ‘Spoken Word’. The first think you’ll notice about ‘Spoken Word’ is that it a peice of music, it is neither Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter not anything by Dan Brown. With that cleared up we can tell you what it is. ‘Spoken Word’ is a smooth as hell slice of summery Nu-Disco. Although that doesn’t sound like anything special these days, Lancelot’s tune here is pretty unique. What he has brought is a nice combination of a pretty synth heavy House backing, with some nice Cosmic touches, which builds a framework for a brilliant ‘70’s Disco tune. The EP comes with three originals and reMixes from Goldroom, Fabian, Frames and Moonchild (we heard the Goldroom mix on The Magician’s last Magic Tape). You’ll probably be wanting to buy that when it comes out then.

♫ Lancelot – Spoken Word

Lancelot’s ‘We Can Dance’ EP is out 20th February on Beatport and 5th March everywhere else via Binary Records.
