Tobtok

tobtok

Tobtok may only be 18 but he’s been throwing out some seriously good tracks.

His latest release, the ‘I’ll Never Forget You’ single, is made up of two slightly older tracks released for free on SoundCloud and is pure joy to listen to. Sitting between synthetic Disco and French Touch the lead track is a big builder with a chord progression that is total euphoria. Everything cuts through the mix on this track, from the retro synth stabs to the driving arpeggio. Quality stuff. the flip side, ‘Pressure’ brings a more Nu-Disco vibe to the table. Slick and sexy, the track is peak time beach music.

Cyndi Seui covers Badly Drawn Boy

Cyndi Seui latest release come straight from the forthcoming Kitsch Cat Vol.2 compilation and features Gramaphone Children to boot.

A Cover of Badly Drawn Boy’s ‘Silent Sigh’ the track sees Seui becoming even more of a force to be reckoned with as he effortlessly rides the thin line between Nu-Disco/Dreamwave and ElectroPop. Lush synthesizer Pop, multi layers and meticulously produced, that’s always kept funky with a slick Disco bassline is Seui’s trademark, and he deftly applies that to this cover version turning a reasonably dreary song into a beautiful synth powerhouse.

♫ Cyndi Seui (Feat. Gramaphone Children) – Silent Sigh (Bradley Drawn Boy Cover)

Kitsch Cat Vol.2 is out in November and features Cyndi Seui, Yuri’s Nominee, Gramaphone Children, Stargazer, Instant Science, Pelific, and Astrolabe.

Final DJs’ new tune

finaldjs

Germany’s Final DJs have dropped a new tune intent on putting some funk in your soul.

Not nearly a full of soaring synths as their previous work, ‘Funk In Your Soul’ is a slow building Disco tune that owes as much to LA Nu-Funk a la DâM-FunK as it does to Dreamwave or Nu-Disco. The loose groove is quite a stark contrast to their regimented quantized tracks, and that of their contemporaries, but works really well for a late night summer jam.

Out next month on Different the highlights of the reMix package come from Mustang and Clubfeet. Both artists take the left-field ElectroPop of the Fighters and make it their own. Mustang give us something a little different from their norm with a big deep, pretty dark, analog groove fest that pulsates through your brain. Clubfeet provide the popiest of the reMixes with a summery Indie-Electro feel build upon layers of smooth synths and turns the vocal track into a lazy poolside sing-a-long.

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…

Database’s ‘New Disco’ EP

database

Totally forgot to post this in my crazy couple of weeks but I couldn’t let it sit here un-exposed.

Database’s ‘New Disco’ EP for Kitsuné is out today, and it’s a storming three tracks of synthesized Disco aural gold.  As a taster of what to expect, check out this growling edit of the title track. Heavy bass, electronic squelches and a Disco voice of doom. What more do you need to get you out of your seat? The track has some quite hardcore old school EBM and Italo leanings, being slightly more aggressive than your average analog Disco with a hint of the harder Yuksek stuff.
