[Audio] Fabian’s back!

We were just wondering the other day when LA finest Electro-House producer Fabian was going to drop something new on us. One of the top dogs in the Binary crew, Fabian has such a varied repertoire, you never know what his next track is going to be like, except that you know it’ll be funky.

A Million To One is his latest cut begins with a shuffling beat, building a 909 snare anticipation before it, unexpectedly, drops a big vocal hook on you. this is a track that’s built around a catchy lyric and a big Electro-House hook. Popping percussion give it a little retro edge, whist the majority of the track is straight-up banger. The uplifting vocal, combined with some Cosmic synths, give A Million To One a soaring quality that’s bound to have the kids reaching for the lasers all summer.

[Audio] MiGHty mOUse’s ‘Love Is Gonna Lift You Up’ reMixes

We heard the Sunrise Mix of London Disco juggernaut MiGHty mOUse’s new single Love Is Gonna Lift You Up, last week. Now with the release imminent we get to have a sneaky preview of the remaining version of the track. The mOUse’s ode to Bobby Womack’s Love Is Gonna Lift You Up, from his recent The Bravest Man In The Universe album, the reMixes add a new vocal and take the song is groovy new directions.

Whereas the Sunrise Mix is shiny, shuffling Disco with bright House overtones, the Sunset Mix takes a deeper, funkier synth Disco approach. Dare we say it, a more MiGHty mOUse approach? The moody, but infectious, burbling bassline that rolls through the track is this mix’s heart. Sounding a little Acidic at times, the bassline has the prefect amount balance Funk and Cosmic for some Sci-Fi Disco, letting the tracks optimistic percussion, swelling strings and the vocal flow, over it like water. Add in a somewhat Tropical breakdown and you’re looking at the releases highlight. If you’re not so keen on the vocal, there’s a dub version of this galactic oddessy too. Deep Cosmic Disco not deep enough for you? The Church Mix delivers a Spartan Deep House vibe mixed with a swinging Disco beat and a big organ riff that landed the reMixing it’s name. The Church Mix may have just invented Sci-Fi-Gospel Disco-House with it’s Southern US mood and Chicago groove. All-in-all, a stunning new single from MiGHty mOUse, but we expected no less.

♫ MiGHty mOUse – Love Is Gonna Lift You Up (Sunset Mix)

♫ MiGHty mOUse – Love Is Gonna Lift You Up (Church Mix)

MiGHty mOUse Love Is Gonna Lift You Up is released 25th February.

[Video] Moullinex’s ‘Darkest night’

Here’s the video for Moullinex’s epic, atmospheric, Disco opus Darkest Night, which has a reMix package coming next month.

Silvio Teixeira directs the clip, which looks as much like a Bond movie intro as the track sounds. Classy.

Moullinex’s Darkest Night single is out now on Gomma.

[Audio] Viceroy and Chela reMixed by Alfa

I know you’re full, but surely there’s room for one more morsel of Viceroy and Chela’s frankly amazing Dream Of Bombay? Of course there is! Especially when it comes from Binary O.G. and moustache aficionado Alfa. There’s always time for Alfa!

Taking a different route with the track than the other mixes, from Bit Funk, Wax Motif and Bufi, Alfa creates on a head on collision between classic Daft Punk and Moog Funk. Pulsating, relentless synth bass and vocals transformed into groove laden melodies dominate the track. Big, sweeping synths take the track to the next level, giving the funky little licks a Cosmic vibe. It;s probably the most rough ‘n’ ready version of Dream of Bombay, and one that eschews the originals song structure, but it’s also a guaranteed floor filler. This’ll keep ‘em dancing!

[MP3] Oxford reMixes Felix Da Housecat & Miss Kittin

reMixing Felix Da Housecat and Miss Kittin’s ElectroClash classic Silver Screen (Shower Scene) is not for the faint hearted. The track springs to mind as an untouchable piece of electronic music legend. But things have moved on, and maybe it is time for someone to bring Silver Screen along with it. We’re grateful that that someone was French Nu-Disco producer Oxford, who has treated the track with the respect it deserves, but dropped a completely original five minutes of captivating Disco too.

Kitten’s deadpan vocals remain, but this time around they are riding on the sweetest of Beach Funk grooves. Perfectly produced, Oxford words every last drop of groove he’s got to deliver a rolling bassline, sweeping synths and and a laid back beat, all nicely tied together with some smooth electric piano. If asked, we would have probably advised against trying to reMix Silver Screen, but we would have been astoundingly glad Oxford didn’t heed our nonsense.

[Audio] Monarchy reMixed by The Leadings

Time for one more reMix of SynthPop duo Monarchy’s amazing, Dita Von Teese featuring, Disintegration? this last one comes from Lofelife from Spanish outfit The Leadings and apparently features contributions from Fran Gas (Varry Brava), Rafa López (Donflúor) and Alejandro Méndez (Lori Meyers), but we couldn’t tell you doing what.

If this is the last reMix, they are going out with a bang. On the face of it, it’s a big Funky House mix, full of big beats and an infectious piano hook. But beneath that lies some funky Disco bass, a Spanish guitar injection, a big room build, sweeping cosmic synths. It’s a melting pot of dancefloor sounds that does Monarchy’s epic track justice.

[MP3] New tune from Touch Tone

If your after some bombastic, theatrical Cosmic Disco to shake the cobwebs out of your head and kick off your week, then you’ve come to the right place. LA’s Touch Tone is back with another new tune. raw House beats and insane cinematic strings combine on Voilà, a track that worms it’s was inside your head and takes control like a Ceti Eel.

Once again Touch Tone nails the mood. A tad Housier than his precious offerings, Voilà has got a slightly cacophonous feel to it, like being confronted with a wall of punchy beats, drama fuelled strings and bouncy synth bass all coming down on your at once. But Touch Tone handles this wall-of-Disco-sound with ease, deftly bringing in one phrase after another, building the tension of the track, especially in the breakdown, until the hook kicks back in with such anticipation it’s almost a relief. Touch Tone has masterfully created a track that is not only a dancefloor winner, but manipulates the mood of the listener, drawing them into a sweeping optimist powered by nervous energy. Well, it is a homage to 70s Sci-Fi soundtracks!

[Audio] beaumont’s ‘Milton’s Party’

Hot on the heels of his reMix of Echoes’ Second Best on electronic rumors Volume 1: The reMix EP, Milton’s Party is the latest offering from Australian electronic experimentalist beaumont, or should that be Australian Italo maverick? Milton’s Party sees beaumont channelling a little Moroder into his madcap Disco. While we’re still waiting for the awesome Vampire to be released, Milton’s Party offered more than enough retro Funk to keep us going.

There’s hint of thinks in this track that we haven’t heard from beaumont, not in a while at least. Loaded with 80s Funk, big vintage stabs and a proper Italo groove Milton’s Party bobs and weaves around multiple melodies, combining beaumont’s musical flair with a nostalgic electronic Disco sound. Wrapped up in a major dancefloor weapon, this one’s got a bit of everything. Be prepared to be unable to resist.
