[MP3] Paulie’s ‘Want You’

The new track from Cosmonaut Paulie, his follow up to the incredibly well received Spread Love. Showing off a totally different style to Spread Love, Paulie proves himself to be no one-trick-pony. The singe gets a proper release, with reMix package, in the coming weeks but for now you can grab the original in all it’s glory for free.

Paulie draws on his background in Cosmic Disco for the spaced out and Dubby Want You. Whereas with Spread Love you were wrapped in deep, hypnotic, House sounds, Want You is an airy slice of vintage Disco with a solid analog-esque Italo groove and an extra layer of subtle, but potent Dubby effects. On top of all this rides a slowly building vocal track that begins blending vocal snatched with a rich vocoded topline and ends up with a powerful vocal crescendo. This one’s going to do the biz, can;t wait for the full single release.

[Audio] Coloureds’ new single

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin. This week Oxford based Disco terrorists and convicted synth abusers (seriously, they’re on the register) Coloureds release their new single, Pop Forlorn. It;s been a while since we heard anything from these guys and in the past few months the have spawned a new Coloured. Green now joins Blue and Yellow in their brutal Electro-House oddessy.

Pop Forlorn is at once relentless and funky. Terminator basses ride roughshod over a cacophony of synths that belies a solid groove in what is possibly Coloured’s tightest, and more dancefloor friendly, track to date. Cut-up samples battle it out with pulsating digital sounds to see who can make you move more, just give in to it. The B-side, Automate, is where things start to get really Coloureds-esque, as they bring out their trademark chainsaw synths and set about carving up Disco and putting it back together to create some kind of compelling, groovy Frankensteinian best. The release come backed with reMixes from Sshh! The Deaf Have AIDS, Kenji Run and Tiger Mendoza, of which Kenji Run;s is the standout. Pick this shit up and kick off your weekend in style.

[Audio] frYars’ ‘Cool Like Me’

It’s been while since we’ve heard from London based Indie-ElectroPopper frYars (yup, we’re still writing it like that, believe), and with his new track, Cool Like Me which dropped this week, he’s taken on a decidedly Disco groove for the summer. A surprising poolside vibe for these hot weather days from a surprising source.

Loaded with wicked little Disco licks and sumptuous space-age vocoder action, Cool Like Me, has all the elements of a Tropical Disco floorfiller, but with added frYars Indie-Pop cool. With a tongue-in-cheek vocal set amidst Disco bass and swirling strings, this tune gets both Disco and Pip just right. Whether this is an indication of a shift in sound, or just a one off, we don’t know, but we would certainly welcome more summery, feel-good, tunes like this one in future.

Directed by Noriko Okaku based on photos by Vladimir Vasilchikov it’s a cavalcade of retro animation.

[Audio] ATTAR! reMixes Body Language’s ‘Well Absolutely’

On Tuesday we introduced you to Brooklyn Indie-DiscoPoppers Body Language’s new single, Well Absolutely. The single is out now and features a tasty reMix from Belgian analog groover ATTAR! who adds to our summer house trip with a slink little Chicago number.

Completely eschewing Disco, these days, for deep House vibes ATTARI! draws on bouncy, yet moody, synth bass and slowly evolving dark future tones to create smothing that bridges the gap between Chicago 1987 and Los Angeles 2019. Taking the length of the track to build up some dancefloor tension, ATTAR! uses warping lead lines to coax the dancer into a trance. Eerie rain soaked Cyberpunk atmospheres with a nostalgic dance groove? Yes please.

[MP3] Fear Of Tigers’ ‘Dream Of Love’

There’s definitely something going on at Fear Of Tigers HQ. We know the man has been busy producing certain new Girl Bands, but there just far too many new FoT tracks making an appearance to be coincidental. With his second album (possibly still called Hypnerotomachia Poliphiliout) almost complete we’re guessing the lead up to it’s release starts here.

Right here with Dream Of Love a new free track (limited to 1,000 downloads, so get in quick). And what a track, this is the kind of Fear Of Tigers that gets us really excited. Those big 80s beats, that dancefloor sensibility, these are the traits of a guy who knows his way around Pop as much as laser-soaked big rooms. Dream Of Love is an emotive, uplifting slice of synthesizer love that’s seeped in euphoria and nostalgia, and just in time for summer. Let these layers of lush synths, soaring solos and popping basslines see you through the sunshine.

[MP3] Douze reMixes V V Brown

Here’s a new slice of synthesizer richness from Parisian producer Douze. When Douze last graced these pages he was releasing his Eternity’s Call Back EP on Discotexas and since has drops tracks on Work It Baby, Animal Language and Compuphonic (alongside frequent collaborator Kris Menace). Today, though, we are presenting the première of Douze’s lush reworking of the forthcoming new single from London based Indie-Pop singer-songwriter and hype magnet V V Brown, Samson.

V V Browns original in a majestic and undulating five minutes of tribal tension, and while Douze retains much of the track’s drama he, thankfully, breaks the dread and injects the track with a healthy dose of French Disco. With a vintage sheen, Douze mashes together squelchy basslines and starlight melodies, that after a moody intro, completely reform the track. V V’s biblical lament is transformed into a slinky croon by the power of a funky bassline and the whole song take on a newfound swagger. This is Douze at the top of the Disco game once more.
