[Audio] Bodhi’s ‘Imperfection’

Due out next month on Future Classic is the new single from Cardiff based producers Bodhi. these two 25 year olds are venturing out this month, supporting Bondax of their upcoming UK tour, a pair of sounds the go perfectly together. Back with No More, the single, Imperfections, mixes a Deep, Techy, House sound with soulful vibes.

With a shuffling Garage House beat, Imperfections is a dancefloor controller. Drop this tune and the whole crowd will be lost in dance. A hypnotic, bass driven tune that permeates every part of you for it;s five minute length. Melodically used vocal snatches ride a pulsing bassline and a slowly, but methodically building wave of synths. Awesome midnight music.

♫ Bodhi – Imperfection

Bohdi’s Imperfections/No More single is released 14th October.

[MP3] Cyclist reMixes Goldroom’s ‘Embrace’

It was way back in the day, the day being Monday last week, that Goldroom released his latest tune, and lead track on his new EP, Embrace. The track’s been on our MP3 player all week, but now it’s time to mix things up a little with the first of the reMixes. This opening salvo comes from Toronto’s dude of the Disco, Cyclist. Are you sitting comfortably? This one’s smooth as hell.

It’s hard to write about this reMix, ‘cos we’re just sinking into it and the keyboard seems like too much hard work. This is a seriously dreamy and chilled slice of windswept Dreamwave. Ariela Jacobs’ vocals sound graceful as you like as they drift over Cyclist’s concoction of toytown beats, twanging bass and starlight synths. Add in some haunting guitar work and you got an interesting, enthralling, sunshine jam that sees cyclist stretching his musical legs. We love it.

[Audio] Holy Ghost! reMix Donna Summer’s ‘Working The Midnight Shift’

As the release of the eagerly awaited Donna Summer reMix collection, Love To Love You Donna, draws ever nearer, new track are beginning to break ground. Here we are very excited to grab a listen to one of our favourite bands, New York DiscoPop duo Holy Ghost! (who are gearing up for the release of their phenomenal second album, Dynamics) tackling Donna’s 1977 album track, Working The Midnight Shift.

The original pairs Donna’s heartfelt vocals with the classic Moroder Sci-Fi Italo, Holy Ghost! build on this, but add a little of their own Disco swing. Upping the energy levels slightly, this reMix bring big stabbing leads to the table whilst nodding to the originals arpeggiated bassline. Equal parts New York Disco, European Italo with a hint of DFA, Holy Ghost! and Donna Summer seem like the prefect combination to bring an original NYC Disco sound to 2013. Seriously, between this and the Chrome & Oliver reMix, we are very excited for this album to drop.

Donna Summer’s Love To Love You Donna is released 22nd October via Verve.

[Audio] Kyogi’s ‘Higher’

Keeping up with the current crops of younger producers, showing their older contemporaries a thing or two, comes sixteen year old Kyogi hailing from Devon. Despite his age, this guy has already racked up releases on Shifting Peaks and The Fat! Club and a HypeM number one, as well a support from the likes of Bondax, Karma Kid and Armeria. He’s just released his latest EP, Higher, which is free right now on Bandcamp.

Higher is a big, thick tune that melds the worlds of Electro-House and Nu-Disco into a big room sound. A stuttering groove permeates the track thanks to a warping bassline and cut-up vocal samples. With an interesting array of instrumentation, Kyogi drops in everything from organs to warbling, oriental synths amongst the heave bass pump. A definite mid-paced floorfiller. Elsewhere on the EP you’ll find His Secret. More upbeat, His Secret hits you in the face with an infectious melody before launching into a warehouse jam complete with modulated vocals and subs galore. An impressive start to this young producers career.

[MP3] Viceroy reMixes Hunter Hunted’s ‘Keep Together’

San Francisco beach Disco-meister Viceroy is at it again. This time the man is tacking LA Indie-Rock duo Hunter Hunted’s Keep Together, from their recent, self-titled EP. Taking the jangly, and if we’re honest a little mediocre, IndiePop and turning it into a wonder of summer DiscoPop is no mean feat, but Viceroy pulls it off in style.

The treat you’re in-for here is an admittedly breezy and catchy vocal pair with some carefree, Disco tinged ElectroPop. The purest of summery tunes, this reMix provides synth leads that seem to come with their own little ray of sunshine. It might be a little saccharine for you, but if you can deal with the good time vibe then you can just let it roll.

[MP3] Chromeo’s ‘Over Your Shoulder’

What a couple of weeks it’s been for new music! To top everything off here’s the new single from the almighty Chromeo. It’s no secret that Chromeo are one of our favourite outfits and after last week’s album teaser we never expected this new single to break ground so soon. But here it is, and a free download too. Get your teeth into Over Your Shoulder.

The words ‘slab’ and ‘funk’ spring immediately to mind, shimmying alongside the word ‘smooth’, as Over Your Shoulder is a smooth slab of funk as only Chrome can deliver. A slick, electric piano driven tune that shows off Chromeo at their subtler, and most quintessential, selves. A tongue-in-cheek tale woven by Dave 1’s vocals set to a thick backing of Electro-Funk and 70s Disco licks, swooshing synths and a lazy bassline, make for the best of laid back Chromeo. The first track taken from Chromeo’s forthcoming new album, White Women, Over Your Shoulder definitely has us eager to hear more.

[MP3] Ben Macklin’s ‘Make Me Feel’

Taken from his forthcoming EP for Modal Recordings, Make Me Feel is the new tune from Cassette Club’s Ben Macklin. Featuring Rowan Arnold from The Dukes on a vocal turn, Make Me Feel has seriously got us in the mood for the rest of the EP with it’s laid back Tropical take on Electro-Funk-Pop.

Loaded to bursting point with Boogie, Make Me Feel channels 80s electronic Soul as it builds it’s walking groove to toward a chorus the injects a little of the Balearic into the mix. A stuttering, bubbling, synth bassline give the tune it’s charm, coupled with a B-boy beat it gives the track a gruff, nostalgic, feel, before the Island Disco and Arnold’s smooth vocal take care of the tracks easy going poolside elements. Head nodding, pensive, stuff.

[Video] Daft Punk’ ‘Lose Yourself To Dance’

The long awaited first (and only?) actual video from Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories has premièred. Accompanying the duo’s latest single Lose Yourself To Dance, featruing Nile Rodgers and Pharell, is probably the only visuals for the album we’ll get.

It’s a pretty standard performance clip, albeit an incredible shiny one, with Nile and Daft Punk playing the Perspex instruments we’ve been teased for so long.
