Com Truise’s ‘Datebar’

Com Truise

Com Truise is about to head out on tour with Active Child and Chad Valley (that’s quite a line up!). While he;s away he’s left us all with a track from his vaults, ‘Datebar’.

What we have here is the slickest of chill synth Funk. Crossing boundaries between cut-up Disco and night drive Synthwave, Mr. Truise does it again with his intricate programming and spartan production that’s like your best memories of summer in the 80’s.

♫ Com Truise – Datebar

Com Truise’s album ‘Galactic Melt’ comes highly recommended.

Radio INK: ‘Rocket’, the reMixes

radio ink

Radio INK haven’t graced the pages of electronic rumors for a while now, but their new reMix package for the ‘Rocket’ single…oh my god!

I honestly don’t know where to begin, nine reMixes, all top quality. Let’s take a look at some of the best. Bit Funk kicks things off with one of his best to date, a deep bassed DiscoPop tune that works the best of Disco and Pop to their fullest. Moonchild rocks his synthesizer disco for an upbeat track that I believe samples Freeez’s ‘I.O.U.’, or contains a riff that sounds just like it. Neon Workout bring a more retro Dreamwave flavour to the package. The 80’s sounds in this Mix bring out a whole new side of the vocal track. Koobra (from Helsinki 78-82)’s sweeping SynthWave take on the track turns the tune into a retro ElectroPop epic with an instant classic lead line.

Alexandre Louvré’s ‘Love Elevation’

Alexandre Louvré

Here’s a brand new track Alexandre Louvré dropped in celebration of getting 1,000 followers on SoundCloud.

The MJ sampling ‘Love Elevation’ is pure bouncy cut-up Disco, amazingly skilful for this producer of just 19 years old. This is proper Nu-Disco, peak time beach part music. It’s Louvré’s keen ear for what works perfectly on the dancefloor that makes him a name to watch on the Nu-Disco scene.

♫ Alexandre Louvré – Love Elevation

Cicada X BeatauCue

Cicada

Cicada recently released their ‘Sunburst’ album which is an amazing twelve tracks of synthesizer Funk and ElectroPop tinged Nu-Disco.

It’s apparently selling well and in celebration they are giving away this reMix of the lead track ‘Come Together’ by BeatauCue who morph the track from smooth Disco to an ear bleeding Electro floorfiller. I think most people are pretty over big distorted kick-drum and sirens Electro these days, but this is actually quite a good example of it. In the good ol’ day’s we’d have called this a ‘banger’ or something.

Cicada’s ‘Sunburst’ album is out now.

Kamp!’s new single and JBAG reMix

kampWe haven’t heard much from Polish SynthPop trio Kamp! single mid last year, but they make a storming return next month with a new single on none other than Discotexas!

‘Cairo’ is more smooth Dreamwave flavoured retro pop than ‘Hearts’, their smash of last year, although with that track you could hear that they were heading in this direction. Cool Disco guitar licks are added to their sound which ads a layer of Funk to the slick summery ElectroPop and the Spandau vocals. London’s ElectroPop DJ kings JBAG are on the mix for the single with a bouncy, pitch perfect, dancefloor ElectroPop track with an absolute killer bassline that you won’t be able to help yourself moving to.

Vincent Fries & Justin Faust

Vincent Fries

Justin Faust recently guested on Vincent Fries’ ‘Bavarian Barbarian’ EP, the result being ‘Choppy Slick’ a response to Faust’s own ‘Sloppy Chick’.

Taking the bouncy riff from from the smooth Nu-Disco original, this version beefs things up a bit, adding a little grit with some distorted synths and heavy beats that counterpoints quite nicely with the shimmering retro synths to make a track that is both viscerally dancefloor and musically satisfying and crosses the Nu-Disco/Electro-House barrier with ease.
