Show Your Shoe’s début EP

Show Your Shoe jumped into our consciousness with an awesome reMix contribution to Futurecop!’s ‘Dreams’ single, which made quite an impression, and this week he releases his début EP on Teenage Gang Records.

From the moment the opening track ‘Pandi’ kicks in, you have to wonder where this kid has been hiding. The one-man project of Swiss producer Nico Müller, Show Your Shoe effortlessly (and smoothly I might add) slides from one end of the Nu-Disco spectrum to the other, whether it’s the cut-up edits of ‘Pandi’, the slick synthesizer funk of ‘Azur Indigo Prisma Safran Marmor’ or ‘Technik City – Arrival’ or the more post-Daft Punk Electro leanings of ‘Technik City – Jet Skiing’, Nico’s clean production and ear for the groove easily make the ‘Technik City’ EP on of the most impressive Nu-Disco débuts to drop in a while.

The EP also includes two reMixes of ‘Technik City – Jet Skiing’, one from Italian DJ Gabriell, a bass heavy Italo-Disco workout and this track by another of our favourite new artists, Druma Kina, who turn in a really nice, arpeggio driven, retro synth mix which revels in it’s synth horns!

Gemini Club’s ‘Ghost’ reMixes

Gemini Club’s awesome ‘Ghost’ was defiantly one of our tunes of last year, in all it’s myriad reMix forms. This week sees the track’s proper release, at long last, as a massive reMix package.

Alongside the instant classic original version there’s reMixes you’ll already know, such a Hey Champ!’s, and some new versions from Only Children and Golden Bug. Also featured are these two mixes from Mr. Frankie Barretso and Indie-Electro Newcomers Blue Satellite. Barretso’s effort is a rapid fire Electro take on the tune that’s a pure dancefloor rush while Blue Satellite opt for a laidback, no worries, DiscoPop that’s the prefect smooth comedown.

Justin Faust ‘Sloppy Chic’ reMixes

Justin Faust had just dropped a selection of reMixes from his ‘Sloppy Chic’ EP of last year.

The standout for me is Super Mal’s heavy Nu-Disco workout of ‘Your Life’. What more can you want from a track like this? Killer bassline, rapid fire synths that shine like a beacon in the darkness all over the place. This reMix has got a groove that is just going to slay dancefloors worldwide. Italians Fare Soldi also turn in a killer rhythmic Italo/Disco mix of the title track. It’s a low-down dirty and grimy Disco track that gets inside your head!

Ride The Universe reMix Young Digerati

Young Digerati may well be the next big thing in ElectroPop, this newcomer Californian four piece make some of the sweetest Dreamwave tinged Indie-ElectroPop you’ll hear all year.

They’ve just released their début EP, ‘The Amanda EP’, for free on SoundCloud and it’s lead track, ‘The Dauphin’, is everything you’d want from a West Coast ElectroPop track. A summery, dreamy vibe with synths that shimmer over a Disco beat topped with introspective, emotive vocals. ‘The Dauphin’ is a track that sweeps right into your heart.

So, they have roped in some top quality reMix talent for the EP too. Muffin makes an appearance alongside this reMix from the almighty Ride The Universe. digitalfoxgloxe and the Fiero crew get their Filter-Disco on with a reMix that’s just gonna’ melt the dancefloor. With hints of ‘Discovery’ era Daft Punk (quite fitting this week) in the driving chords and a wicked Disco guitar lick. The groove sets the scene perfectly for snatches of the original’s vocals and a solo line that takes you that bit higher.

Just when you though the world couldn’t get any smoother Ride The Universe come back with another smooth supernova!

♫ Young Digerati – The Dauphin (Ride the Universe reMix)

Check the amazing original track along with it’s 80’s reference heavy video.

Daft Punk reMixed by Cosmonaut Grechko

Oh sweet synthesizer goodness! Daft Punk’s ‘Too Long’ reMixed by awesome Nu-Disco producer Cosmonaut Grechko.

What more needs to be said? Mr. Grechko appears to be one of the few producer who can tackle Daft Punk and not turn it into a complete nightmare. So, with that massive task at hand he does a pretty sweet job adding some ElectoPop flavour to the originals deep Disco vibe.

♫ Daft Punk – Too Long (Cosmonaut Grechko Version)

Today is the 10th anniversary of the release of Daft Punk’s radial and influential ‘Discovery’ album, It really doesn’t seem like that long ago. What a masterpiece!

Viceroy

The weekend starts here!

Courtesy of the awesome Shiny Disco Club we have two tracks to promote ‘In The Sky’, the début EP from Viceroy, to get you in the mood for the weekends partying. Viceroy is Californian Austen Afridi who started out making Dubstep, to some acclaim, before diving head first into the waters of French House and Nu-Disco. Neither of these tracks are on the EP (‘Free Flow’ is a blog exclusive!) but give you a perfect taster of Viceroy’s funked up sound and will probably have you gagging for the EP. ‘Free Flow’ is pure party jam, cut up horns and vocals flying all over the place to a solid, solid, groove. ‘Oh Yeah’ shows off some more of the young producers skills for chopping and editing over a some tropical flavoured beats.
