[Audio] Du Tonc’s ‘Surging Memories’

Surging Memories is the second single from the frankly awesome superhero team-up of MiGHty mOUse and Van She bassist and ElectroPopper Matt Van Schie, Du Tonc. The duo are gearing up for their immanent tour of Europe and the US, and have dropped their new tune in preparation.

Following on from their previous single, Darkness, Surging Memories feels even more like MiGHty mOUse meets Matt Van Schie that that did. Which I guess is kinda;’ obvious really. It’s a big rush of emotion, where a live Indie feel rubs shoulders with raw Disco. Driven by a hazy, buzzy, guitar riff and waves of blissful synths these guys coax a sense of summertime nostalgia with just a hint of mystery in their music, allowing Matt’s vocals to sound both introspective and anthemic at the same time. Two songs down and Du Tonc have a flawless record so far, let’s hope they can keep it up. You should definitely try to catch Du Tonc live is they are in your area, dates here.

[MP3] Clancy’s ‘The Way You Dance’

One of the UK’s finest producers Clancy has bust out a new tune. Having effortlessly migrated from Dreamwave to Nu-Disco to House, and taking all of those experiences and influences with him, he;s really at the top of his game. His new single, The Way You Dance, (which he’s dropped for free BTW) is another one that should go straight in your crate.

This one’s all about deep, heavy grooves. A bass powered juggernaut that seems designed for dimly lit clubs when the punters care about nothing but dancing the night away. Amidst all the growling basslines and hypnotic beats is a little hint of 80s SynthPop via half heard melodies and gently crescendoing keys. Overall the track is a moody tune, lost in dance and not to be interrupted. The way you dance is probably beyond your control of the DJ drops this one.

[Audio] Flight Facilities & Elizabeth Rose

Australian Nu-Disco veterans Flight Facilities have dropped their second new track in the past twelve months. This time it’s a laid back stormer titled I Didn’t Believe featuring one of our favourite singers, fellow Australian Elizabeth Rose. Prepare for some slick Disco vibes.

I Didn’t Believe has been a work-in-progress since 2010, being the first track they wrote after the awesome Crave You, but it took Rose’s vocals to set the icing on the cake. Five minutes of playful Funk with a summery outlook. Deep and soulful rather than big and bombastic, I Didn’t Believe is a perfect chilling in the sun soundtrack driven by an undulating bassline and Rose’s breathy voice. The chorus is pure classic sounding Disco, uplifting and joyful. Sit back and relax.

♫ Flight Facilities (Feat. Elizabeth Rose) – I Didn’t Believe (Extended Version)

Flight Facilities’ I Didn’t Believe is released 8th May with reMixes from Tiger & Woods, Lou Teti and Light Year.

[Audio] Yuksek & Oh Land reMixed by Michael Garçon

We’ve been waiting to post something from the forthcoming new Yuksek EP for a while now. Having had out hands on it for the last couple of weeks, it has been given pretty have rotation round these parts. Soon to be the première release on Yuksek’s own label, Partyfine, the EP two original tracks, Last Of Our Kinds, featuring Oh Land and Truth, featuring Juveniles, are both stunning slices of infectious Pop. Some may be put off by Yuksek’s move away from dance music with these tunes, but to our mind he’s always been better as a producer of massive Pop tracks anyway. Last Of Our Kinds in particular is an epic Pop tune with a 60s twist. To get a taste, and a dancefloor workout of the track, here the reMix from Michael Garçon.

Garçon give the track a dancefloor kick and Disco groove, which, when coupled witht the originals, big cinematic vocal, works really well. This mix has actually really grown on us. With it’s rolling Disco bass and vintage strings it manages to take the track to more mirrorballed surroundings while keeping all the songs rousing drama. Sam Tiba, Kasper Bjørke and Yuksek himself provide the other reMixes on Partyfine EP#1 in a host of styles, Michael Garçon provides the smooth Disco grooves.

Here’s that reMix of Cosmonaut Paulie’s début solo single, Spread Love, from Holmes Price we were singing the praises of last week. The single package is out now, so we can give you a listen to this deep Disco version of the track.

Price takes the track into slightly more Houseier territories, keeping things low and clubby. Layering his laid back groove with some relaxed piano Holmes Price gradually builds the track adding sparking arpeggios, more piano, and all the time working reverb drenched vocal snippets, to create a swirling dancefloor vibe. It’s a mesmerizing reMix that pulls you along with it before depositing you in it’s stripped back, undulating, finale. Guaranteed to keep them dancing.

[Audio] Paulie’s ‘Spread Love’

Next week sees the release of the début solo record from Paulie. Paul Sidoli is one half of London-based Cosmic Disco pilots Cosmonauts and ever since he’s been sneaking out mixtapes under his own name we’ve been pretty eagerly awaiting the fruits of his solitary labour. Wrapping up both Cosmonauts space age style and a deep London club groove, Paulie presents his première record, Spread Love.

Spread Love certainly makes it’s mark, and is a confident début for Paulie. It’s a track that’s hard to ignore with it’s deep and compelling House bassline commanding the tune alongside a House/Disco hybrid beat. Spread Love takes it’s time to build up a solid groove, dropping little hints of Paulie’s galactic past into the House mix with popping Electro Toms and shuffling purcussion, all the while repeating the hypnotic Chicago style vocal hook. The track slowly whips the listeners up into a frenzy before dropping the goods about the halfway point and unleashing mesmerising dancefloor euphoria. This is one the coolest kids will be swaying to in the darkest corners of the hippest venues this summer. The single comes correct with two reMixes, a deep groove from Rambla Boys and a shockingly good, upbeat, New York Disco style version from Bath’s finest Holmes Price. Check it out next week.

[Audio] Xinobi’s ‘Puma’

The mighty Discotexas are gearing up for the release of the new single from label staple and Nu-Disco legend Xinobi. Hitting the spot for s summer club hit, Puma, and it’s B-Side Woods, seem to be pretty sure-fire weapons for festivals and dimly lit dancing holes over the coming months.

Puma is a deep deep House tune that revolves around a transfixing organ hook. Adding a dubby influence to proceedings, Xinobi litters the House grove with spacey piano stabs and and an enigmatic vocal sample. This is definitely a tune to get wrapped up in, all encompassing, Puma delivers mainlined clubbing gold.It’s B-Side, Woods, is a bit more funky, with a bit more of that classic Xinobi swing. Built around an undulating synth bass riff, Woods draws you in to it’s atmospheric tribal ritual with a succession of ethereal tones and samples. Expect to be hearing these two on the dancefloor soon.

[MP3] The Other Tribe reMixed by Ryan Riot

Making us proud since last summer is Bristol’s The Other Tribe, who have had their recent free single We Should Be Dancing reMixed by one of Switzerland’s top Nu-Disco producers, Ryan Riot. Here he takes a lot tougher approach than we would expect from him with an almost EBM bassline and machine beats.

Really pumping up the originals bassline and washing it in militaristic synths, Ryan Riot brings a new aggressive groove to the track. It’s a track that compels you to the dancefloor, and you don;t want to think about the consequences if you don’t, which is fitting for the song’s content. Riot goes big with everything on this track, big bass, big beats and big sweeping synths. Rocking the originals purcussion to it’s fullest, this is one reMix for peak time when the crowd won’t know what hit them.

[MP3] Bestrack reMixes M.I.A.

This is pretty epic. reMixes of M.I.A. tend to miss the mark a lot, but when they are done right they really work. This one works better than most. It’s the new one from French synth Disco producer Bestrack, who’s turned his attention to M.I.A.’s Bad Girls single of last year for this majestic unofficial reMix.

Bestrack goes big, and cinematic, with this take on the tune. Build on a core of shuffling beats and growling synth bass, the track heaps on layer after layer of resounding science fiction chords and pads. rising and rising throughout the song, flowing with M.I.A.’s vocals, the keys elevate the reMix to almost euphonic highs as frantic strings support the swelling. Never distracting from the compelling beat, this ceremonious take on a grimy song is certainly different. Give it a chance, you’ll love it.
