[Audio] Dato’s ‘Give It Up’

Danish Nu-Disco ElectroPop duo Dato have just released their latest offering, the Give It Up EP. It’s been a while since we featured these guys on electronic rumors, the sometime Mullet Records releasers have steadily been churning out some of the funkiest emotional sound coming out of Scandinavia in the past few years, and this new three track release is no exception.

The EP’s lead, and title, track, is a silky smooth three and a half minutes of Disco tinged ElectroPop brilliance. Dato, skilfully, combine slick, subtly, Disco licks with chatty ElectroPop synths and the dreamiest of sax solos, and rolls them all up into a late night summer jam that oozes cool. With an infectious vocal and an irresistible groove this one is prime for urban dancefloors, the sound will drift across the city. Elsewhere on the EP you’ll fine the upbeat DiscoPop of Into The Fire and If We Ever, a Tropical slice of poolside sounds. If you need something to chill to this summer, day or night, then this EP is highly recommended.

[Audio] Hey Champ’s ‘Celebrate’

It’s another new release from Chicago ElectroPoppers Hey Champ. Following Cliché and Comet in recent months comes Celebrate, and we’re really hoping things are working themselves toward a new album. With this track they’ve upped their stadium ElectroPop quota significantly.

Celebrate is a slight departure from the Hey Champ we’re used to, seeing the duo stretch their Indie-Electro and Classic SynthPop muscles over Nu-Disco/Dreamwave-esque sound, and the result is a warm slice of retro Pop with a huge, lighter-waving, chorus. The end result is kinda’ like a more contemporary American Indie Depeche Mode, in that it’s a big Anthemic slab of electronic Pop with a glistening of guitar.

[MP3] Aimes’ ‘Keep On Movin’’

Here’s the new one from Brooklyn synth head Aimes who, with Keep On Movin’, have taken on a new laid back House vibe to his music. We last heard from Aimes earlier in the year with his Beautiful Decay reMix EP that bounced off of last year’s original release. It looks like the producer wants to set us up for the summer with his new material.

Keep On Movin’ is a perfect slice of lazy electronica, the kind of tune you want soundtracking hazy summer days spent with friends. Sleek and soulful, it gives away Aimes’ Chillwave roots with waves of lush synths and warm tones that wash the track in a comfortable glow. Contrasting this is a solid House beat and a bassline with just a touch of Disco funk and a hint of Tropical dreaminess. We guarantee, this is one slice of sunshine bliss you won’t want to miss.

[Audio] ]Adeyhawke’s ‘Kodachrome Sundae’

We’re so glad that Irish synthetic Disco don Adeyhawke is back in the game. After his return to our radar in March with Storm Runner we’re pleases to see another new tune unleashed this week. The awesomely titled Kodachrome Sundae is part of his forthcoming EP release on Girlfriend Records alongside the previously heard Storm Runner and Looker.

I think Kodachrome Sundae is our favourite of Adeyhawke’s new track so far. A complex and funky synthesizer workout that is just as compelling for your ears as it is for your feet. Interlocking layers of punchy retro synths all slot in together to make the whole arrangement work, each tiny element having an important place in the whole. This really is a track greater than the sum of it’s parts, a nostalgic sounding, electronic Disco symphony that sees Adeyhawke skilfully conducting an orchestra of digital goodness. The bassline alone is enough to make you jump out of your seat. Check it out.

[Audio] Yuksek reMixes Château Marmont

French master Yuksek has been so busy recently. After being relatively quite for a spell, he’s dropped a whole heap or released and reMixes recently, from his awesome Partyfine EP#1 containing the stunning Last Of Our Kinds on his own brand new label, to recent killer reMixes for the likes of C2C and Griefjoy, the man hasn’t stopped this year.

And it doesn’t look like he’s letting up either as he;s straight back in the game with this reMix of Château Marmont’s Wind Blows. Château Marmont have been rocking us since 2009, but it’s only now that they have finally got around to releasing their, long, long awaited début full length record, The Maze, from which this track is taken. It’s a sweeping tune that’s given a typically raw club mix from Yuksek. If you like euphoric piano, twisting 303 Acid lines, and a Disco swagger then you’re in for a treat. Yuksek makes his gritty groove work sweetly with Château Marmont’s vocals. This track got all the Indie-electro slickness of a Marmont track and all the hands-in-the-air rush of a Yuksek track, that;s the best of both worlds right there.

[Audio] Sally Shapiro’s reMix album (with Mitch Murder, Little Boots, Lovelock & Nite Jewel)

After the overwhelming success of Swedish ElectroPop duo Sally Shapiro’s third album, Somewhere Else, and the preceding single, the Electric Youth featuring Starman we were eager for more, but we didn’t expect something this hot. Just released is Elsewhere, a reMix companion for Somewhere Else who line-up is a variable whos-who is the cream of ElectroPop talent. It’s a killer meeting of minds that features the likes of Dan Lissvik, Young Galaxy, Lost Years and The Field, but right now we are going to take a look at some of our highlights.

First up, the undeniable king of SynthWave, Mr. Mitch Murder, graces the album with his presence. Reworking All My Life, Mitch delivers on his particular brand or rich, emotional, synthesized soundtrack work beautifully here. The deep, twanging, digital bass and invigorating electronic pulse play nicely against the warm tones to create something head-nodding brilliant. It’s prefect for Sally’s vocals too, the interaction between the chorus vocals and the bass is just amazing. If Mitch if the electronic music king, then our girl Little Boots is the queen. Taking on the brilliantly titled This City’s Local Italo Disco DJ Has A Crush On Me, Boots whips up some mirrorball sheen with a surprisingly gritty hook. Mixing up House and Nu-Disco elements to classy effect, Boots turns-in a slo-mo, soft focus, dancefloor dream. One of the most talented men in retro electronica, Steve Moore, here in his Lovelock guise turns his attention to I Dream With an Angel Tonight, injecting it with smooth, laid back, vintage Disco and Italo sounds with a cinematic feel and a slight mysterious, Sci-Fi vibe. LA synthesizer Funk queen Nite Jewel bring to the table a typically atmospheric and left-field slice of electronics in her rendition of Sundown, loaded with compelling basses and swirling soundscapes turning Sally Shapiro from twee ElectroPop into brooding, but groove, Cold Wave. This is definitely a recommended release, with a stellar line-up and a wide variety of styles, there really is something for everyone.

[Audio] Rebeka & Mirror People

Here’s something quite interesting whipped up by one of the best labels around Discotexas. It;s a new single from both Polish ElectroPop duo Rebeka and Portuguese ecclectic Disco producer Mirror People. What began as a collaboration, ended up as two takes on the same song. Taking the tracks in two different direction from the initial seed of shared vision, Rebeka and Mirror People present their versions of Nothing To Give, as one release, our this week.

Rebeka’s take on Nothing To Give is a big, dramatic, ElectroPop tune. Bombastic as it is synthetic, Rebaka’s version of the song, is passionate to the extreme as vocalist Iwona bellows over twisting, shrill synths and a raw, live beat. Mirror People, on the other hand, bring a swirling, European, Disco flavour to the track, with hints of Moroder and Italo amongst the vintage electronics. It’s a really interesting idea that has yielded some seriously infectious results. Another win for Discotexas.
