Just in time for your weekend, here’s the new tune from the UK’s reigning DiscoPop queen Ronika. While we’re all still eagerly awaiting her début album, there release of which is drawing ever closer, she’s turned in a new slab of soulful electronic Pop to tide us over.
Taking things a little deeper than her previous bouncy offerings, Search Siren is an epic, cinematic, affair. The song sees Ron is full-on diva mode as she delivers an huge emotive performance over a cavalcade of vintage synth sounds. Buzzing synths and a haunting piano line intertwine over a relentlessly funk beat while Ronika’s multi layered vocals, tinged with a hint of melancholy, whip the track into a rousing lament that would work equally well on the dancefloor or in the headphones. Showing ever more versatility in her music, Ronika continues to cement her place as one of the UK’s rising stars, we can’t wait for the album.
Ronika’s Rough ‘N’ Soothe single is out now.

South African/Australian Indie-Electro outfit Clubfeet have not only just embarked on an Australian tour but are also gearing up for the release of their new double A-side single ‘Everything You Wanted/Heartbreak’, due for release later this month. Ahead of the new single dropping, tour support, Future Classic artist Panama has reMixes the guys previous offering Cape Town to Tropical effect.
Panama’s take on Cape Town is like a laid back Island embrace. A rolling Disco effort who’s stomping basslines, beach purcussion and twisting Moog Funk leads all combine with a raw piano hook to create a chilled but pumping poolside groove. Add a splash of hazy and fitting vocals that are actually darker than first listen might suggest, and you’ve got an interesting, summery track right here.

Spanish Disco don Rayko has already had a few outings this year via the likes of Nang and Chopshop, now he’s back on Ruben & Ra’s Retrospective label with a selection of edits on the Can’t Get Enough EP. Right here we’re premiering the Rayko Tigersoul Edit of Step Out Of Me Dreams, the EP’s dancefloor highlight, a radical reworking of The Strangers’ 1983 classic.
Taking the spaced out bridge from the synth Funk fuelled original and stretching it out for nearly six minutes, Rayko drops a pounding beat behind it, whipping up a storming dancefloor frenzy. Picking up on certain bits of the breaks bassline and rolling them into a proto-EBM Disco juggernaut. Probably the strongest track on the EP, this edit shows off Rayko at his best, deep in the mix with his sights aimed squarely at the dancefloor. It;s worth checking out the whole EP when it;s released for some choice battle weapons.

OK, so we quite like Breakbot, the early singles were mind-blowingly good at the time, but his début album was a little samey, if solid nonetheless. His latest single from the album is You Should Know, which came out last week and contains reMixes from the likes of Busy P & Boston Bun, Homework, Le Family and this cut from Australian groovers The Swiss which, frankly, blows the original out of the water.
This time the laid back live Disco is replaced with a storming bassline rolling underneath a huge Disco House tune that’s all about Rukazoid’s vocals and the piano. A killer piano hook and a brain melting synth solo are dangerous weapons in the right hands, and The Swiss certainly weld them with skill. The intertwining piano/synth solo is the track highlight in a track that is the highlight of the single itself. The Swiss really made this one their own.

At the weekend, 70s/80s Roxy Music legend Bryan Ferry dropped an absolutely massive collection of reMixes of his 1985 single, Don’t Stop The Dance. It’s a classic tune that was ripe for reMixing and the line up he has picked to do the deeds is pretty impressive. There’s a whopping eleven reMixes in the package, including these three choice cuts from Todd Terje, Punks Jump Up and Psychemagik.
Terje’s take in the tune is truly sublime. Surpassing even his last encounter with Bryan Ferry (he previously reMixed the Ferry track Alphaville), Terje gets into a spiralling Cosmic Italo groove that is unrelenting for it’s whole ten minute length. Undulating arpeggios and chilly Scandinavian Disco beats clash with space age synths and Dubbed out vocals until the whole track coalesces into one big, tight, funky synthetic siren’s song. Punks Jump up deliver some of their particular brand of sax fueled, late 80s influenced, jump up House tunes. Introducing a bouncy synth bassline and swirls of intoxicating retro sounds and haunting horns, Punks Jump Up’s is definitely the one we’re most excited about hearing on the dancefloor. Blissed Out Nu-Disco hippy Psychemagik’s take on the tune wraps the original in a variety of vintage House sounds and a trippy Disco vibe. This is quite a package they’ve put together, and it sounds like these guys had a lot of fun playing with this tune, the results are certainly worth checking out.

Simone Coccato A.K.A. Funkabit has been on our radar for a while, the man’s released a string of sweet Nu-Disco EPs and reMixes over the last couple of years. With his new release, and EP for Neonized, he’s working his way toward a more House oriented sound, getting deep and funky with it. The Giraffes By The Ocean EP holds three tracks of tough, involving and groovy, late night, dancefloor magic.
The EP kicks off with Limes, a deep deep track with an early 90s feel and a seriously moody warehouse presence. Dark but irresistible, this is the kind of House tune that, when your on the dancefloor with it, you never want to stop. It’s low down bass, ghostly vocal samples and compelling organ hook just feel like they need to keep going forever. Banksy, makes things a little more soulful, with a vintage synth hook and layers of intricate percussion. Funkabit’s take on the Chicago House sound really put you in the middle of the action, winding and hypnotic tunes that command you to dance. The EP plays out with On & On, a track that lightens the mood as little in a hazy swirl of synths. Funkabit’s The Giraffes By The Ocean EP fills it’s time with tracks that should be part of any House DJs crate.

Always on the ball, Italian Disco duo Fire Flowerz have only just released their new mini-album, Beats Per Minute, earlier this month but they’re already back in the game with a new official EP release on Fogbank Recordings. The Overload EP is a three track dirty Disco monster that breathes new life into the Sample Disco genre.
The EP’s title track is a warping slab of heavy synth Funk. Wrapping up French Touch, Nu-Disco and Electro-House into a warm and infectious synthetic beast. Loaded with thick, filtered sounds, it’s a dense track where the synths almost overshadow the loops, which is no bad thing, aside from the hook, there’s tons of little leads and melodies that all work together to create blissful dancefloor noise. Remedies is more traditional French Disco, built on heavily effected samples whilst Routine brings something a little crazy to the table. Injecting a little grit into it’s party time Disco hook, Routine’s over abundance of effects and modulation add to it’s mesmerising groove. Definitely an EP to add to the crate.

The new one from Brooklyn based SynthWavers Emeron & Fox is something a bit different, by their standards at least. In tune with the increasing mood of lazy summer evenings (well, for me anyway) the duo present the timely release of Arms Out. More in keeping with their début single, the haunting Nightmares, than more recent, more upbeat, offerings, Arms Out sees these guys slip back into a dreamlike mode.
There’s would be a chance you could find Arms Out a little unsettling, with it’s ethereal vocals and ghostly electric piano, if it wasn’t for the warm old school Hip Hop beats and Disco bass. There’s something irresistibly funky about this track, you can’t help but nod your head and get into it. So when it’s siren song curls around your head like smoke and those strangely uplifting synth drones in the chorus kick in it makes for an unusual combination of groovy and enigmatic, but a combination that Emeron & Fox make work.
