Barretso reMixes

Barretso03

As Tuff Em Up gear up for the March release of Barretso’s ‘Bright City Lights’ EP more reMixes of the EP track ‘We Won’t Stop’ have arrived to tide you over.

Aussie’s DEFEAT & Redial (who made it into electronic rumors top 20 tracks of 2009!) clearly show who the next big things to come from down under are going to be, both bring their Electro Disco A-game. Redial, again, particularly impressing us. Farfletched makes up the trio with a deep, choppy, synth string laden funker.

Breakbot is all yours

Breakbot

Breakbot’s first official EP for Ed Banger Records drops on Valentine’s Day. ‘Baby I’m Yours’, featuring Irfane on vocals, is some smooth Disco basslined French House.

With razor sharp production Breakbot clears the floor of all competitors as he show how this Synth Funk should be done. ‘Make You Mine’ is more of a chilled, summer Sunday, ElectroFunk Vocoderfest that i will defiantly be breaking out in a few months time!

More Barretso for you

Barretso02

A couple of weeks ago we introduced you to Barretso, Tuff Em Up’ Records Chilean Dreamwave/ElectroPop/Electro-House hybrid man.

As it draws ever close to the release of his début EP we can give you a feel for the release with the title track ‘Bright City Lights’, a track with a real Nu-Disco/SynthPop mashup feel. Still rocking the perfectly blended mix the smooth vocals just glide over the night time arpeggios. Kolt13 steps up for reMix duties and lets the synths fly and seriously Electro Funks shit up!

Jacques L. Dorsey

JacquesLDorsey

Dug up by the Valerie crew’s blog is this upcoming French producer Jacques L. Dorsey. A Man of mystery with a brand new MySpace the word on the street is that he has some involvement in Daft Punk’s soundtrack for the forthcoming Tron sequel, Tron Legacy.

He’s got that 80’s nightdrive vibe down pat with this mid-tempo synth jam. Steady bass, Simmons toms a lead line to ride through the city streets!

All I need now is a Ferrari, something to brood about and a time machine! Go hit up JLD’s MySpace!

Dragonette Vs. Arithmatix! (Michael Di Francesco of Van She)

Dragonette03

Indie-electro darlings Dragonette have roped in the talents of Michael Di Francesco of Van She fame under the alias of Arithmatix! for a pumping Nu-Disco killer remix.

Loaded with Italo influences and a Disco groove this reMix is gonna’ ram the dancefloors!

♫ Dragonette – Pick Up The Phone (Arithmatix! Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

I’m insanely jealous of those living in the US right now as Dragonette are touring the states alongside Little Boots and Fan Death. Now that’s gonna’ be a hell of a night out!

Jupiter reMixes Two Door Cinema Club’s new single

TwoDoorCinemaClub02

Man, I absolutely adore Jupiter’s reMix of CHEW LiPS ‘Salt Air’, it made number three in electronic rumors’ top 20 songs of 2009 so I was all up in this reMix of Two Door Cinema Club’s brilliant new single ‘Undercover Martyn’.

Jupiter brings the perfect Electro Disco flavour to the track. Digital slap bass, distorted analog synths and leads that fly out of the tune are all present and correct. Jupiter seems to be able to do no reMix wrong!

♫ Two Door Cinema Club – Undercover Martyn (Jupiter reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

‘Undercover Martyn’ is out shortly on Kitsuné Music.

Mille Vs. Fear Of Tigers

What a day for wicked collaborations!

We’ve raved about both Mille and Fear Of Tigers numerous times in the past few months and are exited that Mille has been snapped up by Neon Gold, who apparently, have the best taste in the world. A couple of days ago they dropped Mille’s first 12” ‘Crysteena’.

Combining the best elements of Nu-disco and Dreamwave with massive distorted 8-bit melodies, this track is huge! Fear Of Tigers magic touch beefs up the dancefloor factor so that when those 8-bit leas kick in you just soar away with them.

Pure genius, both tracks, go buy them now!

Tesla Boy reMix Anoraak

Valerie collective staple Anoraak and Russia’s Tesla Boy are both electronic rumors favourites, so the idea of one reMix the other seems just to good to be true, but here it is!

Anoraak’s ‘Nightdrive With You’ hasn’t left my MP3 player since it was released last year, alone with it’s multitude of reMixes, here Tesla Boy do something a bit different, bringing some funky guitars and more of a classic Disco Funk vibe to the ElectroPop tune.

♫ Anoraak – Nightdrive With You (Tesla Boy reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Compare it to the original, those opening keys still send shivers up my spine!

Cavaliers Of Fun

UK based Ricco Vitali A.K.A. Cavaliers Of Fun has been getting quite a bit of hype on the more discerning blogs this week, and well deserved too as he takes on Dreamwave from a slightly left-field position.

Mixing up elements of Dreamwave, Space-Synth and Chiptune, ‘Midnight Resistance’ is a kinda’ ‘what if’ Jean-Michel Jarre was a C64 obsessive who started hanging out with College and the Valerie crew. Are you comfortable with that? Well you won’t be expecting ‘Secret Galaxies’ then, which suddenly swings Cavaliers Of Fun over to the Van She side of Indie-Electro.

Varied, crazy cool, and…well…fun!
