Dirty Vegas’s new single (+ Cassette Club reMix!)

I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Dirty Vegas, sure they can be a bit hit and miss but they were doing the whole House meets ElectroPop thing back when most of the modern proponents of the style were waving glowsticks around.

Their new single ‘Electric Love’ is defiantly a Dirty Vegas hit. It’s dirty and gritty and has got a groove from hell. It show’s Dirty Vegas haven’t been sitting on their hands when it comes to sounding fresh. Incorporating hint of Disco and Electro into their sound has done wonders to rejuvenate their sound, they’re back and sounding better than ever! They’ve also picked the amazing Cassette Club to reMix the single. The London ElectroPop duo turn in a typically brilliant track that is probably the standout of the reMix package. With a little of their Nu-Disco sound ‘Electric Love’ is elevated into a killer, must have, tune.

Moullinex’s thank you

Portuguese Electro-Funk meister Moullinex had dropped a free tune on his SoundCloud as a thank you to everyone who bought his latest EP.

The ‘Chocolat EP’, released last week on Gomma Dance Tracks is four tracks of kickin’ Electro grooves. Now featured on the EP, however, is this thank you track, ‘Love it Is, Then’, a storming Disco tune with more than a hint of early 90s dance and more than a hint of S’Express. No idea why it didn’t make the EP, but here it is for you now!

♫ Moullinex – Love it Is, Then

Moullinex’s ‘Chocolat EP’ is out now!

PNAU’s new single!

Wow, this kinda’ slipped under my radar. PNAU are back! (which may be why Empire Of The Sun have been quiet of late)

The first track to surface from the ElectroPop duo’s second album is the forthcoming single ‘The Truth’, it sounds pretty exiting stuff. Jump Jump Dance Dance wade in with a funkin’ Disco reMix awash with slap bass and electro toms. Sam La More’s reMix couldn’t be any more different, it’s a big commercial House track with a nice mix of Tropical in there.

I don’t want to annoy anyone, but the new album isn’t due ‘til September!

New Worship track!

This is more like it!

Swiss synth wizard Worship has dropped a new tune! ‘Bavaria 1999’ is a sweeping analog epic. A cosmic Space-Synth track that takes you an a sonic journey to other galaxies. Sprinkled with just a tiny hint of Daft Punk, Worship perfectly walks the line between Space-Synth and Nu-Disco, taking the soaring leads and otherworldly arpeggios from the former and the beats and Disco basslines from the latter.

All-in-all, excellent stuff.

♫ Worship – Bavaria 1999

Worship’s next release will be more dancefloor orientated, can’t wait!

Monsieur Adi mashes-up Ellie Goulding and Daft Punk

This is pretty special! The Nu-Disco kind of strings Monsieur Adi has dropped this gobsmackingly good mash-up between Ellie Goulding’s ‘Guns & Horses’ and Daft Punk’s ‘Make Love’.

This is one of those occasions where the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts. I haven’t heard a version of ‘Guns 7 Horses’ that highlights the real beauty in Eliie’s voice as well as it is showed off here. I love her vocals anyway, but in Adi’s hands there almost become an instrument, one of his beloved strings.

That is how you kick off your day!

Justin Faust reMixes Butterfly Bones

In the mood for some bass funkin’ Nu-Disco?

If you are then you’re in luck! If you’re not, well, tough…

The man Justin Faust has busted his reMix skills over San Francisco based Disco Rockers Butterfly Bones ‘Crystal Caves’ and the end result is a truly astonishing slice of groove thick, sweeping, retro Disco awesomeness. With a bassline that is targeted directly at making your head nod and a soaring lead line that takes you to another planet, this track is pretty much essential.

Fiero reMixes the hell out of Christopher Cross

Take a look at that badass picture , epic huh?

That right there is Christopher Cross he wailed on his guitar and sung about meaningful shit in America in the early 80’s. The kind of powerful nonsense found on every awesome 80s movie soundtrack. Now the Fiero posse have brought him kicking and screaming, on the back of a unicorn, into the 21st century (or at least a retro Disco version of it) with their latest reMix. Taking 1983’s ‘All Right’, already a spine-tingling slice of throwaway brilliance in it’s own right, and tuned it into a sweeping Nu-Disco journey from the dancefloor to the centre of your heart.

See, tracks like this just make me gibber like an idiot! More please Fiero!

Chromeo + La Roux + Duck Sauce = Party!

We posted a really shitty rip of the Duck Sauce reMix of Chromeo’s version of ‘Hot Mess’ featuring with Elly Jackson from La Roux a while back and while we don’t usually post tracks twice this tune really needs to be heard in it’s entirety.

Duck Sauce is, of course, Armand Van Helden and Chromeo’s Dave 1’s brother and nearly legendary producer A-Track and together they knock out a massive House reMix, I imagine you’ll be hearing this track a lot when it drops later this month.

♫ Chromeo (Feat. Elly Jackson From La Roux) – Hot Mess (Duck Sauce reMix)

The ‘Hot Mess’ single is out 17th January and along with the original and the new duet features reMixes from the likes of Duck Sauce and Tiga.
