Perseus’ new EP

Perseus

In a stunning display of X-Mas cheer French Express head honcho Perseus has dropped his new EP, for free, and it is seriously good.

I’ve been rockin’ these three tracks all morning, every track on the EP is total quality and exists in a place where Nu-Disco,  Chicago House and late ‘80’s Pop Dance meet. ‘Cool Runnings’ kicks off the EP with a laid back groove with an ‘80’s electronic Soul vibe and sets the Disco/House precedent. ‘Russian Girlfriends’ dusts off the old ‘Ashley’s Roachclip’ break, a brave move put Perseus pulls it off with stunning effect, I think there’s even a bit of PM Dawn in there too! The whole mix is pure early ‘90’s House gold, and highly addictive. ‘Running Back To You’ rounds off the EP by bringing it back to a smooth beach party Disco vibe, with random ChipTune elements. Not only is this EP free, it’s better than a lot of it’s contemporaries you be spending money on. PopDanceHouseDisco brilliance!

You can grab the EP in high quality from French Express’ SoundCloud, the WAVs are coming soon to Beatport.

Legan And Met’s ‘Future Odyssey’

Legan And Met

Dutch duo Legan And Met first came to our attention with their recent reMix of Forster The People’s ‘Helena Beat’.

The guys have now released their début EP containing five original tunes (good on them for not just flooding everyone with reMix after reMix, just to get their name around!) for us to sink out teeth into and get to grips with just who Legan And Met are. SynthWave with an Electro beat could sum them up, but that would be doing the twosome a disservice, their tracks are much more intricate and varied than that. they create epic, synthesizer soundscapes that are both emotionally melodic and Sci-Fi insane, with Cosmic Disco grooves for people in shiny jumpsuits. The songs on the ‘Future Odyssey’ EP are constantly evolving and building from start to finish, so the finale of each tune is a rousing electronic set-peice. Serious retro-future stuff.

♫ Legan And Met – Voltage Controlled

♫ Legan And Met – Only Your Love Creates My Momentum

Tesla Boy’s new tune

tesla boy

Russia’s greatest ElectroPop export Tesla Boy have dropped a new track, and a taste of what to expect from them in 2012.

‘Waste My Body’ combines that classic smooth Tesla Boy sound with a touch more aggression. The bass, in particular, has more balls to it whist the chorus is surprisingly full-on Pop for these guys, which a nice ‘80’s touch. You can see where the band is heading, funnelling retro Pop and Nu-Disco in to one energetic output. We’re definitely looking forward to Tesla Boy’s new album.

Overthrill’s ‘Disco Music’

overthrill

German dancefloor rocker Overthrill has dropped something a bit special to keep you moving during the holidays.

‘Disco Music’, pull in DNA from the high points of Daft Punk and Justice’s careers and wraps them up in Overthrill’s own unique take on Electro and Nu-Disco. Driven by a juggernaut funk bassline and sweet melodic vocoding ‘Disco Music’ maybe the spiritual successor to ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’ but Overthrill has created a tune to keep the dancefloor jumping on it’s own merit.

Jensen Sportag reMixes Madi Diaz

madidiaz

Jensen Sportag have served up a sweet X-Mas gift in the form of a deep DiscoPop reMix of Nashville singer/songwriter duo Madi Diaz’s ‘Trust Fall’.

Jensen Sportag’s reMix is so smooth it is borderline Yacht. Layering some nice thick Moog Funk for the bass with some serious maritime chord work and wicked Disco licks seems to morph the track into a classy mid-‘80’s yuppie dancefloor number. This is a track for smokey city nights or sunsets on deck. I’ll take either really, it’s fine.

Popular Computer’s new single

Popular Computer

Out this week is Popular Computer new record, ‘Lointain’.

We’ve been waiting for the release for a while now and it’s a stormer. Parisian Sylvain Dalido get’s into a synthetic Disco state of mind with a laid back electronic sound packed with vintage synths and Disco licks. On the reMix is a whole bunch of our favourite producers. Australian Dreamwave master Muffin, who has been away far too long, drops a delicious retro beach party of a tune, mixing up the Disco and the ‘80’s, which just highlight why we need to hear more from this man. Pharao Black Magic get their analog Disco groove on with a deep bass driven slice of slo-mo electronic Funk. Robotaki’s contribution is a wonderful mix of everything good in Nu-Disco and SynthWave with a strong Moog Funk rhythm section, twisting lead lines and shimmering retro chords fit of a perfect sunset.

Augustin’s Freeez edit

freeez

I love Freeez’s ‘I.O.U.’, it’s a track with a lot of memories for me. SO bearing in mind I[‘m going to be over critical about any reworks of the track, I have to say Augustin’s Disco edit really works.

Augustin has chopped the track up and given it a 21st century dancefloor makeover. Some of the beats are a little rough when listening on headphones but I’m sure they would go down a stormed in the club. The tracks got a nice build to it too, definitely one to drop.
