Here is the video for London duo Punks Jump Up’s new tune Fairlight, which we featured last week as a free download. Which is good value really, seeing as how is one of the best tunes of the last few months.
The clip was put together by Neal Coghlan, and it’s an amazing, animated, space-age trip that visually plays on the tracks retro sounds.
Punks Jump Up’s Fairlight is available now.

Get ready for some space-age bootleg Disco action as the mighty MiGHty mOUse takes a little break from working his arse off with Du Tonc and touring the world like a boss to deliver this cheeky little bootleg edit of Dutch singer Caro Emerald’s 2010 hit Stuck. A mainstay if his recent DJ sets, the mOUse must have decided that this one was too much fun to keep to himself. We agree.
MiGHty mOUse goes crazy with the smokey vocals and old time Jazz sound. Remember in the mid-90s when Dance acts sampling old Jazz records was a thing? Well, imagine a more Discofied version of that. MM gifts the track some storming beats and big galactic synths, making the tune a bit of a contradiction, but an amazingly funky one. You can see why he put this one together for his sets, this is a real DJ weapon. The track is available, as all bootleg edits should be, for free.

German Disco don Justin Faust is taking a break from his usual Discotexas releases to deliver something new on acclaimed New York dance label Nervous Records. This week he released a three track EP titled Disco Cuts. You can check out the first of the three cuts right here with the big, sweeping, Elevator. Elevator music this ain’t.
Also heard on this week’s new Goldroom mixtape, Elevator is a filtered Disco juggernaut. Guaranteed to please both the Nu-Disco crowd and the French Touch lot, this tune brings to the table everything you need for a dancefloor destroyer. Hypnotic Disco hooks, pumping beats, a cheeky bassline, and a ton of filtering, bringing the track it’s highs and lows. We can definitely see this being a go-to track in a lot of DJ’s crates for some time.

So, Aussie ElectroPoppers Miami Horror’s new single, Real Slow has been getting quite the hammering at electronic rumors HQ recently. If you’re so inclined to pick up the track on 7” from Neon Gold, you’ll find that it’s a double A-side with this little gem, Colours In The Sky (also out as a digital single this week) which features Cleopold, whoever or whatever that is, it appears to have zero internet presence, so it might be a Victorian entertainer.
Colours In The Sky is exactly four minutes if synthesizer felicity. An almost Chillwavey haze of reverb laden keys and raw piano hooks. It’s a collection of avant-garde noises re configured into a summery Pop song. Intelligent and interesting, Colours In The Sky, alongside Real Slow, has us very much looking forward to hearing their forthcoming sophomore album. Lush synths, hazy vocals, distant melodies and a healthy does of nostalgia. What more could we ask for, well, better weather would be nice, but we guess Miami Horror can’t do everything.

It’s time for this week’s ‘song featruing Patrick Baker’! Only joking, it’s actually been a whopping eighteen days since we last posted about a song graced by Mr. Baker’s vocals, I think the internet was starting to get withdrawal symptoms. We are starting to get a little suspicious that their might be a hostage situation somewhere, and every-time a Nu-Disco or Chicago House producer creates a track that doesn’t feature Patrick Backer on vocals a hostage gets shot, thus preventing Patrick from working on his own excellent music and homogenizing everyone’s tracks. Nu-Disco and House producers…blink twice if you need help.
Televisor’s Can’t Get Enough is actually an excellent tune. A breezy poolside Disco tune with just the right amount of nostalgia. Big vintage sounding stabs riding over wicked Disco licks give the track it’s quirky Funk, as they glide over playful synths and a rock solid beat. The vocals are, well, Patrick Baker vocals, you know the drill by now. Impeccable as always, but a little too thinly spread. Can’t Get Enough is part of a charity compilation called EDM: Every Day Matters that is out now, and although it’s a terrible, terrible tile (the mere idea of British people using the term ‘EDM’ makes us shudder) it’s raising money for Comic Relief, which is an amazing cause so you should check it out.

Norwegian ElectroPop masters Röyksopp and vocalist Susanne Sundfør’s Running To The Sea was released as a single in Norway about this time last year. Their first new single is bloody ages, it was written off the cuff for an appearance on Norwegian Music TV show Lydverket, but went on to create a massive stir online. As a result there is a full reMix package getting a general release, which will include work from Australian master of the edit Late Nite Tuff Guy and Belgium’s finest Villa.
Villa take a laid back Poppy approach to the track. A breezy piano groove and razor sharp synths keep things suitably icy. but Villa inject the Scandinavian quirkiness with a little dancefloor warmth. An immense and encapsulating track that respects the original totally whilst delivering slightly more funk. Just taking the prize though, for us, is the rework from Late Nite Tuff Guy, who just dismantles the whole track and builds it up again as an Italo Boogie Disco monster. A relentless groove, with a dancefloor swing that bubbles under with Acid intensity. A mixture of Disco bass, twisting 303s, Cosmic synths and Susanne Sundfør’s haunting vocal is pretty hard to beat. The energy just keeps building and building in this one, It’s a free download too!

It seems like ages since Parisian Horizontal Disco innovator Zimmer released a new track. Aside from a series of excellent mixtapes, and a handful to top reMixes,, we haven’t heard a new tune since, we think, the actual Horizontal Disco EP. Mr. (Le) Crayon steps up to help out with drum duties on Galapagos, a suitably evocative title for this Tropical meets Chicago House jam.
Galapagos, delivers a nice line in pitched down vocals and chilled House groove that Zimmer has chosen to pair with Tropical purcussion and an Island lead line. The whole affair end up being bizarrely warehouse, with the Tropical lead somehow morphing into a classic Rave hook in Zimmer’s deft hands. We guess the track would work equally well by the pool or in the crowd, it’s adapted for either situation. For us though, we’re going to take the chilled route with this one.

OK kids, pencils down and pay attention, there’s a new reMix from Mr. Grum on the scene. This time around Grum’s subject matter is young Dutch producer Martin Garrix, who in suitably Dutch producer fashion is a purveyor of all things big room, Prog Housey, Trancey, and cheese filled. Taking Garrix’s ‘hit’, Animals, Grum proceeds to make things a bit slicker, a bit more sophisticated, without loosing any of the dancefloor euphoria.
Grum loads up on big swirling synths for this one. By this time Grum has amassed enough experience with a wide variety of dancefloor styles that he can effortlessly meld them into one monster whole. Crisp lead lines, burbling basses, and the perfect build, all lead into a 303 tweaking finale that sees Grum in new Acid-Techno territories. A massive floor destroyer that we fully expect is going to get caned over the coming months.
